Hey, sorry about the long wait. This is the last chapter of Order of Love. T_T! Message me or leave a review if you want a sequal!


That didn't happen. His handsome features had concern when he talked calmly, "What happened down in the ceremony? Lloyd told me almost everything, but I want to hear it from you."

Crap, crap, crap! What should I say? If Lloyd was here, he'd tell me to tell my feelings to Prince Schneizel. I can't do that. He's a prince and I'm…ordinary. If he didn't return my feelings, I'd look like a complete idiot. I can't say all that happened, especially in his closet and seeing him undress. His chest and arms were so toned. Not that toned where it's just disgusting, bulging muscles but the likable kind. How I'd love to run my hands up and down them…snap out of it, Cecile. This is no time to be fantasizing! Okay there has to be a way out of this mess. I wish Lloyd was here. He was so good at these kinds of things. I just don't know what to do!? I thought. My mind was jumbled on what to say and how to say it so I didn't get into trouble.

"Miss Cecile," he asked patiently, "Are you alright?"

I opened my mouth to speak, wanting to speak of part of the situation, but instead blurting it all out, with my lame self.

"…it was wrong to do that, Your Highness, I know. But I felt like I had to," I took a very deep breath as tears rolled down my cheeks in embarrassment, "b-because, it sounds so silly, but I-I love y-y-you." I had my head down and covered my face with my hands.

Moments later, something hit my nose. It was the kind of smell that was memorable. Not like Lloyd's farts kind of memorable, but sweet and the kind you wish was edible, wanting to sink you teeth into, to smell forever. I know this scent…

"I opened my eyes and noticed His Highness kneeling down, holding me in his arms, so my head was near his shoulder. His ungloved hands rubbed my back.

"Your highness," I was in stunned.

"Miss Cecile, how would you feel if I said I love you too?" Prince Schneizel asked.

Did I just hear what I think I heard? Should I get my ears checked? If this is a dream, and someone disturbs me…

"But, Your Highness," I said taking my head off his shoulder to look into his eyes, "You're a very handsome and charming prince and can have any woman you want-" I was silenced by a pair of soft lips on mine. My eyes went very wide. But eventually I closed them, wrapping my arms around his neck, kissing back. The jumble of thoughts went away. After breaking apart he looked into my eyes and asked, "What if you're the woman I want?"

Pinch me, I must be dreaming. This is what some girls dream of… a handsome prince, saying that they love you. I don't know what to say!

"Does that assure you?" he smiled, holding my hands in his.

"Um, Your Highness-"

"Just Schneizel would be fine," he gently cut me off.

"Schneizel, how did you know? About my feelings?"

"Lloyd," he answered. He chuckled when I turned red with embarrassment. Then, he calmly explained that he knew about Lloyd and me in the closet. "He did warn me that you would stare once I undress." Ooh, that Lloyd! But for once, Lloyd did something right. I won't have to kick his butt later…
