CHAPTER NINE

"You finally came." DG really smiled for the first time all night long.

"Happy Birthday princess." Cain handed her a small box.

As DG thought when she took the present Cain was the only person that didn't bug her when he called her princess. She didn't even like it when Raw or Glitch did it. When she opened the present tears weld up in her eyes as he jaw dropped.

"You didn't have to." Looking up at him.

"I know"

It was a pretty necklace. It consisted of a simple silver chain with a small north star at the end, which contained a single diamond that twinkled when it caught the light. Cain helped her put it on.

"You know just what to do so I can't stay mad at you." DG tired not to cry.

"Listen DG this is my last attempt and you wont here another word from me. But I love you. I love your smile, your look, your laugh, your scent, your clothes, even your sarcasm. Everything you do and everything about you I love. I think about you when I'm awake and see you in my dreams. And when I think of you with another person it drives me crazy. Please don't turn me away again." Cain stood inches from her now.

"If I asked you to do me a favor and dance with AZ would you do it?" She knew that Cain would give her a straight answer and never lie to her.

"You wouldn't even have to ask me. I would ask her to dance if I knew she needed a partner. When she is happy you are happy. She has been through a lot and the littlest things to make her happy would be all the joy in the world."

Tears flowed freely now, she couldn't hold them back. She placed both hand on his chest as she kissed him. Cain wrapped his arms around her placing one on her back as the other went through her hair. She felt his tongue touch hers. She felt immediate shock of excitement and fear, for she never have felt like this before. She loved the smell of him and his arms around her body. Then something soft hit her arm. Looking over to see who it was, she saw Raw in the door way.

"What is it Raw? I'm kind of busy." She called out still in Cain's arms, who now looked very unhappy about the interruption.

"Dance stop. Timothy coming." He said nervously and just loud enough for them to hear but no one else.

"I wanted to tell you, Timothy purposed to me. But I didn't give him an answer yet." DG looked up at him.

"I know, I found out from Glitch."

"And you still came here to tell me all this……I'm going to call it off between us."

"That would be good. I'm not a sharing men when it comes to the lady I love." He smiled

"But you need to leave now. I can't do this with you here." DG broke from his grasp.

"Why?"

Taking his hand "He all ready doesn't think much of you, you being a Tin Man and all. How would you feel if the women you were with tells you she wont marry you and were breaking up? And the guy she is leaving you for is right their next to her."

"I'd want to punch his lights out." Thinking about it for a second. "Your right."

"Meet me in my room tonight after the party."

They kissed one more time before Cain left. Just in time DG thought, Timothy stepped in the doorway.

"Their you are princess." He smiled as he closed the gap between them.

"Timothy it's DG. I've got your answer to your question from last week." DG's voice wanted to shake but she kept it from doing so, she didn't want to hurt him. But she thought about Cain and their kiss.

"So what is it?" He took both her hands.

"You know I think you are a sweet and very nice guy?"

DG saw the disappointment and panic in his eyes as he said "But"

"I don't love you. My heart wasn't in it from the beginning. It was cruel of me to carry on the time we spent together when their wasn't anything that was going to come of it. So my answer is no I wont marry you. And I think we should stop seeing each other." This time when tears fell down her face they were of sadness instead of joy.

Timothy didn't say anything, he spun around and left. DG wasn't alone for long when she was joined by her mother, father, AZ, Ambrose and Raw.

"My angel what is it? Where is Timothy going?" Her mother embraced her.

"I broke it off after telling him I can't marry him."

"DG are you sure?" Her father was looking in the direction of Timothy.

"Yes I am. I have found my love like you and mother have." DG looked down at her necklace from Cain.
