Chapter 11
- Jealousy -
A quick glance at the clock.
12:30
A million thoughts raced through her head at once.
What if he got caught? What if he was killed? What if Bernard saw?
He was late and she was worried. Kori bit her bottom lip, this was her nervous habit. She paced back in fourth in front of her balcony, she knew this was crazy and dangerous, but she couldn't help herself. She stole another glance at the clock.
12:31
Get it together Kori, he's fine.
She desperately wanted to believe that, but for now she was in a state of panic, on the edge. She increased her steps as the clock ticked loudly filling the entire room.
Richard where are you?!
Her hands trembled and she tried to steady herself, this was stupid, she couldn't take it she had to stop this. A slight knock on the window made her jump three feet in the air. Her body shook as she quickly looked over to the window. Richard placed his hands on the glass, gently pushing the doors open and Kori ran into his open arms.
"Richard don't scare me like that!"
Richard smiled.
"Sorry."
"It's okay and why were you late?"
Richard arched and eyebrow and glanced at the clock.
"Kori I'm only two minutes late."
Kori just shrugged and cuddled closer to his warm chest.
"Richard Grayson you'll give me grays before I'm old, you know what we face if we get caught so being thirty seconds late worries me."
Richard laughed softly and ran a hand through her hair.
"I don't see any so far."
She punched him lightly as she giggled. All thoughts of before vanished and it was worth it. Richard glided over to the bed and laid down. Kori watched him, her bright smile shining on her face. He held out his hand and she took it, he pulled her over onto the bed.
"I've missed your kiss."
Kori giggled and quickly kissed him on the lips.
"I've missed your's too."
"So how's the Prince."
Kori groaned and sat up.
"I don't want to talk about him, all we've done is talk about the wedding."
"Has he kissed you yet?"
Kori paused, Richard raised and eyebrow. She pressed her lips together, pondering on whether to answer or not.
"Yes."
A cold anger flashed in Richard's eyes, Kori saw it and she quickly placed to his cheek.
"Richard please don't be jealous, you know I love you and that will never change."
Richard removed the hand from her face.
"But that could all change..."
Kori wrapped her arms around his neck laying lightly on his back, she leaned down and whispered in his ear.
"No, it never will."
He smiled and she laughed lightly, he kissed her on the cheek.
"Let's forget about that and focus on us."
He kissed her again and she kissed him. She quickly pulled his shirt off and he slowly unbuttoned hers. They rolled over with Richard on top. He placed kisses on her neck, her collar bone working his way up. Kori closed her eyes as he kissed up her neck, to her cheeks. He kissed her lips and she wrapped her arms around his neck as the kissing continued. The rolled over again and Kori was on top, she caressed his neck and ran her hand over his hard, warm chest. He ran his hand over her smooth back as their legs twisted around each other.
"Kori!"
They stopped, Kori slumped her head and they untwisted their legs as she got up. Just in her jeans and bra she walked over to the door, while Richard, who was also just his jeans, walked to the bathroom. Kori opened the door a crack, her red hair ran down her left shoulder, a few stubborn strands fell in front of her face.
"Yes?"
To her surprise Bernard was standing there. Before she could say a word he was kissing her. She released the door and it flung open, Kori's eye widened as she saw Richard standing in the door way of the bathroom. She wrapped her arms around Bernard and waved Richard to hide. He ran into her closet and the sound of the door closing caught Bernard off guard. He stopped kissing her and turned to the closet.
"What was that?"
Kori quickly grabbed his hand.
"Nothing...sweetie," she added quickly, "you caught me off guard, what are you doing here?"
Quickly turning to her he placed a hand on her face.
"I couldn't stand being away from you my dear, you drive my emotions wild."
She smiled slightly. She slowly took a step back and walked around him.
"I am terribly sorry I've made you fell this way."
He stepped in front of her and pulled her close, his breath licked her skin and her body grew fridge.
"It's okay I like it."
He inched closer to her lips, then his nostrils flared he took a step back.
"Who was here?!"
Kori blinked a couple of times.
"Wh-who?"
"I can smell him!"
He began thrashing around her room, tearing everything up in her room, searching for the mysterious person.
"I know he's in here!"
"Who? I don't know what you're..."
"YOU SILLY GIRL! THAT BOY FROM THE PAPER!"
Kori's eyes widened.
"He's not here, he's never been here!"
Her voice trembled as she spoke, trying to calm the angry man.
"HE'S HERE! I KNOW IT!"
He continued to thrash and he approached the closet, Richard inched back wards until he hit the wall.
"Stop it!"
Kori screamed and she ran over to Bernard, he grabbed her wrist and flung her to the ground.
"TELL ME YOU LOVE ME AND ONLY ME!"
Tears trickled down her face.
"I..."
"SAY IT!"
"I LOVE YOU AND ONLY YOU!"
It took every cell in his body for Richard not to burst out of the closet and kicked this guys ass and a part of him hurt, for hearing Kori say that. The Prince seemed satisfied and his anger vanished.
"Now wipe the tears away my darling and kiss me."
she obeyed and quickly wiped the tears away. She stood up and he kissed her and she kissed back. The anger flared in Richard's eyes like fire. He clenched his fist and bit his lip, he could feel the blood rise. Bernard smiled and left Kori in her room, closing the door on the way out. After a long, silent minute Richard stormed out of the closet.
"What was that?!"
Kori turned to glare at him.
"It was me doing my duty!"
Richard turned away from her, muttering to himself while picking up his shirt.
"Whatever."
Her face turned slightly red.
"What did you say?!"
Richard turned to her and did a low mocking bow.
"Nothing your Highness."
Kori's eyes narrowed and her hands balled into a fist.
"Stop it Richard!"
He pulled his shirt over his head.
"Oh I'm sorry to upset you your Majesty."
"Get out now!"
He smirked in her direction.
"Oh is that an order?"
She pushed him through the doors.
"Richard you've pushed me too far!"
He turned to glare at her.
"Well then why don't you go tell your Prince fiance?"
She pushed him again, but harder.
"Maybe I will!"
He walked over to the edge of the balcony, lifting one leg over.
"Fine, maybe I won't come back tomorrow!"
She crossed her arms over her chest.
"Good, I don't want you to come back anyways!"
He sat on the edge.
"Fine!"
"Fine!"
He climbed down and she angrily turned on her heel and slammed the doors, locking them. She paced around her room, her teeth clenched.
"That jerk! I can't believe I ever loved that stupid, thoughtless, no good for nothing..."
She paused and collapsed on her window seat.
"...wonderfully, beautiful boy."
-
Richard briskly walked through the park, jealousy had taken him over. He looked back at what he said and meant every word.
"That selfish Princess! I can't believe I've ever loved that self centered, spoiled, no good for nothing..."
He stopped and fell on the nearest bench.
"...caring, beautiful girl."
He sighed and ran his hands through his hair, he now whole heartedly regretted those words.
How you going to make this one up?
Richard sighed, he had no idea. Then a brilliant idea hit him. He got up from the bench and ran home. The house was empty and the clock struck one a.m. He took out a sheet of paper and a pencil. He then walked over to the closet and pulled out a guitar. He took a deep breath as he struck the first cord and smiled.
Oh yeah the drama continues! Poor Kori and Richard had a fight and jealousy takes a major role as the wedding nears. So what's Richard's brilliant idea? Any guesses? Thanks to all my reviewers and please review!
Peace Out!
