Palace Hallway – 9pm
Checking the hall was clear, she carefully stepped out her door shutting it softly behind her. If she was caught it would be completely humiliating, not to mention embarrassing. Taking a breath to steady her nerves she made her way to his rooms. She paused outside his door before gently rapping on it. The door opened silently and he beckoned her in with a small smile, shyly she walked in slowly. Closing the door behind him he turned towards her, "I wasn't sure that you'd come," he tried attempting small talk.
"I wasn't sure that I would either," she replied bluntly. Looking up from the floor she continued on, "Look Isaac, I don't' know if I should even be here."
"But-"
"I know, and I'm sorry. I shouldn't have kissed you back the other night. I… I'm in no position to be doing anything like- like this. I'm sorry if I lead you on."She looked up.
"So…" he felt unsure of what to say know and how he was supposed to act.
"You know what, I'm sorry. I should never have come. This is all just one big mistake."
"You're saying I'm a mistake?" he sounded so crushed it made her feel worse than she already was.
"No-Yes-No! That's not what I meant. What I mean is that…" she stopped and looked down at the floor, saying this was harder than she thought.
"Is what?" he stepped closer and tilted her chin up making her look him in the eye as he urged her on gently to continue.
"Is that I'm an emotional wreck and that anything that might happen between us would just be- oh how do I say this- it, it wouldn't be real."
He looked at her with understanding in his face and it made him feel better that she actually did have feelings for him as well. The way that she was so brutally honest was refreshing and heart crushing at the same time. It was a weird mixture, he wasn't quite sure if he liked it yet.
"So what happens now?" He asked looking up at her.
"Umm… Honestly, I have no idea. I didn't think I'd actually make it this far." She replied honestly, "I should probably go…" She looked up at him with regretful eyes.
"Wait!" he cried grabbing her waist as she started to move past him towards the door behind. Desperately he held her waist, pushing his body against hers. Turning she looked startled as he used the opportunity to press his lips against hers cutting of her sound of surprise. Passionately he moved his mouth against hers sliding his tongue into her slightly open mouth. Walking forwards he backed her up against the door pressing his body into hers. He was acutely aware of her fingers running through his hair as their tongues twined around each other. He could feel his heart racing as he began to harden in his breeches. He heard her moan softly as he started a trail of kisses down her neck. Slowly he moved his hands up her torso to the beginnings of the lacings of her shirt, gently but firmly she disengaged from his grasp, removing his hands from her shirt. Quickly and passionately she delivered one last final kiss before she slipped out the door, leaving him with a sense of longing.
He didn't know if he'd ever be able to figure out this girl, and maybe that was why he liked her.

Walking away briskly she ran a hand through her slightly mussed hair trying to smooth it over. Letting out a deep breath she stopped and leant against the wall, she couldn't explain how she felt or why she felt this way, but every time she kissed him it was like kissing George. It excited and scared her at the same time. She didn't know what to make of it. Hearing footsteps she straightened up and adjusted her shirt, relaxing when she saw that it was just Raoul. Smiling he put his arm around her shoulders and walked with her to where the others were. They didn't say anything to each other, just walked in companionable silence and he acted as if he didn't see it when she wiped the tears from her eyes.
