Kaddar

Daine pulled back very startled. Kaddar had just kissed her. That wasn't right. It wasn't right at all.

"Kaddar, why did you just kiss me?"

He blinked, "You didn't like it?"

"No," Daine sighed. "Why would you think that?"

"Daine I always loved you. I thought you felt the same."

Daine shook her head, "I'm in love with Numair, not you. Why would I marry him if I love you?"

Kaddar looked at her, trying to absorb all she was saying.

She could see the pain in his eyes, but she couldn't do anything.

Finally she asked, "What about Kalasin? Aren't you two betrothed?"

Kaddar sighed, "It doesn't matter now."

He turned around and walked to the palace, leaving Daine alone in the garden."

A single tear trickled down her face.

She sat down under a tree and let her thoughts take her away.

After awhile rain started to fall. Daine slowly got up and walked to her and Numair's room.

Once there she saw Numair working at his desk. She smiled; Numair always made her feel better.

She waited till he lifted his quill then wrapped her arms around his neck.

He pulled away. Daine looked up at him and blinked, "What's wrong, Numair?"

He won't look at her when he answered, "Nothings wrong, sweet. I'm just tired."

She stepped forward for a kiss, but Numair stepped back again.

"Numair, something is wrong. We'll be married in two days. You can tell me."

He looked at her, anger filling his eyes, "I guess Kaddar can tell you anything as well?"

Daine froze, "Numair! You of all people should know that I wouldn't cheat you! Kaddar kissed me. I didn't know what he was doing!"

He blinked, his expression frozen.

"Please Numair! You have to believe me!" Her eyes were pleading.

Numair sighed and pulled her into his arms. He kissed her with all he had.

"It's alright sweet. I love you."

"I love you too."

"We'll be married in two days."

"I've been counting down for five months."

Numair laughed, "Come on magelet. We still have some things left to do before the wedding."
