Chapter 8: A New Beginning

Full of promises she couldn't keep.

Link

Link was on his way to end it with Malon. He knew she probably did not even care that he had just gone away. Malon proved to him that she was just a girl who wanted or hunted cute guys and then left them after she found another one. Link was right when he entered the castle and opened Malon's door room. She was onto of a guy and when he opened the door they did not stop kissing until he cleared his throat. They both looked surprised.

"Link?!" Malon quickly got off of the guy and he just sat straight.

"My inconvenience to be found like this sir my apologies." The man started getting up but Link told him to sit down again.

"It's okay I just came to give Malon some news."

"What is it Link?"

"Malon it's over. Goodbye." Link turned on his heel and ran out.

"Wait Link I can explain this!" Link ran and ran to the gates. His mouth was in a big smile. Link knew he was free now. Link wanted to ask Zelda to be his girlfriend but he was not sure. What if she rejected him? Link shook his head and went in search of Zelda.

In the Castle

"Link?" Zelda looked around searching for Link but he was nowhere to be seen. The princess looked and looked but no success. She heard the gates open and she ran to see who came in. She saw Link running past the guards in a hurry but he looked excited. Princess Zelda ran to him and hugged him.

"Oh Link... I thought you left me." Princess Zelda stiffened in his arms with her own words. Link smiled and stroked her hair.

"Zelda I promised I would never leave you." Link leaned down to kiss her.

"Okay love birds. Princess Zelda your father seeks a word with you." Touchstone grunted heavily. Link and Zelda had jumped back awkwardly and were amused of being disturbed.

"I'll be back soon Link." Princess Zelda ran off and Link watched after her.

Conversation with the King

"Ah Zelda my dear I called for you."

"Indeed you did father."

"You are 16 now, aren't you dear?"

"Yes I am father."

"Well when you turn 18 you'll get married. Can you believe it dear?" Zelda's heart felt like it was going to explode out of her chest.

"I can marry whoever I want right dad?"

"Anyone you want just that it has to be a noble."

"What do you mean father?"

"Zelda I mean like a prince. Marth is a great guy."

"That's great news father..."

"It is, is it not. Well that is all I wanted my little princess to know." Zelda got dismissed.

"I thought he probably asked you to stay with him like father and daughter night." Link playfully poked Zelda's ribs and Zelda smiled.

"Oh come on Link. I'm sure you'd be the one begging me to stay with you all night like friends of course." Princess Zelda walked into the gardens and Link followed lost in his own thoughts.

"Did I say something wrong Link?"

"No just that..." Link stopped in his tracks and tugged at his shirt collar. Princess Zelda looked up at him with a confused stare. She wrapped her arms around Link.

"Your highness, Majesty, Princess..." Princess Zelda raised her eyebrow wondering what the heck he was doing. She put a finger on his lips and shushed him.

"It's just Zelda." Link smiled and put his hands on her waist and pulled her closer to him.

"Princess Zelda I just wanted to ask if you wanted to be me girlfriend." Princess Zelda smiled and hugged him.

"Of course Link!" Link hugged her tightly not wanting to let go of her. Link grabbed Zelda's face face between both of his hands and kissed her. Zelda widened her eyes because this kiss felt so different to the ones before but she gratefully kissed him back. His tongue licked her lips and she gasped. Suddenly Link left her lips kissing her cheeks going into her neck. Zelda moaned lightly making Link want to go further. Link wanted more and began to lower his hands to her waist again and lower. He reached her butt and he pulled up one of Zelda's legs to his waist and held it there. Zelda opened her eyes and stared into Links eyes.

"Link are you okay?" Link snapped out of his daydreaming and realized he had just left her hanging. Princess Zelda bit her lower lip afraid he might tell her he was leaving or something like that.

"Err... it's just I wanted to know if you want to be my...uh... girlfriend?" Link noticed his dreaming predicted that she was going to say yes. Link walked her to his house and Princess Zelda looked happy to see his house again.
