Author's Note: Thank you for all the great reviews! I really do appreciate it! This chapter are going to be written a bit different from my previous chapter, because it is a very special sort of chapter. It is a bit of a 'bonus' chapter if I can call it that! *Hint* I got this idea from one of my favourite series. I watched this specific episode yesterday. Can you guess what it is?
Let's pick up where we left things.
Remember when Brady told Mikayla that he loved her. That didn't exactly worked out so great for him, did it? The reason for that is that normally it takes a person longer to say 'I love you'. Well, Mikayla went through the usual stages:
Flashbacks:
First there is the moment where you think you think it:
There was only one thing that Mikayla was absolutely terrified of on the island and that was the Kinkowian spotted frog. Ironically it was the only thing Brady wasn't afraid of.
One beautiful moonlight evening Mikayla and Brady went for a moonlight picnic in the woods. They found the perfect spot in a clearing and Brady set up the picnic. They both then got seated on the picnic blanket. Mikayla was about to open the basket when, suddenly, she heard a quack right next to her. She turned slowly and when she saw the frog she gave a loud, nervous scream: "FROG! FROG!"
Brady quickly jumped up and went over to Mikayla's side and asked, "Where?" Mikayla pointed at the frog and said, "Right there."
Brady took a napkin out of the basket and picked up the frog and threw him into the woods. He then returned to Mikayla and said, "I threw him into the woods." Mikayla smiled with relief and gave Brady a kiss.
As she kissed Brady she thought by herself, "Can it be? No, surely it can't."
There is the moment you think you know it:
One day Mikayla had a terrible fever. She was lying in her bed when Brady entered with a cup of chicken noodles soup (her favourite).
He handed the soup to her and then went in for a kiss, but before he could kiss her, she stopped him and said, "Oh no, you don't want to kiss me. You will get sick."
Brady smiled and then said, "It will be worth it!" He then kissed her anyway. Mikayla smiled.
The next morning Mikayla was feeling a lot better, but Brady then was sick. He was lying in his bed when Mikayla entered. He saw the 'I told you so' look on Mikayla's face and he knew she was referring to the kiss so he said, "It was totally worth it!"
Mikayla smiled and thought by herself, "Aww, that was so sweet. Maybe… I mean I totally do, don't I?"
There is the moment you know you know it, but you can't yet say it:
One night Mikayla and Brady were both lying in their beds in their separate rooms. They couldn't be with each other, because it was already late and Mason was patrolling the castle so they talked to each other on the phone.
They have been talking a very long time and Brady was starting to get tired so he said, "Alright, it's beginning to be that time. I'll talk to you tomorrow."
On the other side of the castle, Mikayla's face dropped. She didn't want to hang up already, but she knew it was late so she said, "Night."
"Good night." Brady replied. Brady was about to hang up the phone when he suddenly heard Mikayla said, "Wait, Brady." "Yeah?" Brady asked, surprised.
There was a silence as Mikayla thought by herself, "I definitely do, but how can I say it? No, I simply can't…"
So she just said, "Good night." And then she quickly hung up the phone. "Oh man I suck! Why can't I say it?" Mikayla said, kicking herself mentally in the butt over and over again.
And then there is the moment when you know you know it and you can't keep it in any longer:
It was the evening right after the phone call. Brady's favourite band was going to play for this night only and then they would leave the island right after the show for their next performance in Los Angeles. Brady has bought two tickets for the concert, one for him and one for Mikayla.
He was waiting for Mikayla in the throne room so that they could go for the concert. She came down the stairs, in her guard's uniform.
"Little underdressed, don't you think?" Brady joked. Mikayla gave a faint smile and said disappointed, "One of the guards didn't show up for their patrol. It is one of the most important patrols. It is too short notice to go get another guard so I would have to go."
"Oh man, isn't there anyone else that could go? I am the King so I can order someone to go." Brady said. "No, everyone that is close by already have important things to do." Mikayla explained.
"Well, in that cause I'm not going either." Brady said. "No, you should go. Ask Boomer or someone to go with you. It is your favourite band!" Mikayla protested. "No way! It wouldn't be the same! I'm going with you on your patrol." Brady said and handed the tickets to a couple walking by. They thanked him and ran away, ecstatic.
"Really, you'd do that?" Mikayla asked, surprised and touched at the same time. "Of course." Brady said and kissed her.
Mikayla then knew it for certain and just couldn't keep it in anymore, so she said, "Brady…" "Yeah?" Brady replied. She got very nervous and finally words came out of her mouth, "I… Ilovbleu."
Brady frowned and replied, "What?"
Mikayla was so embarrassed. She didn't know what to do next so she just mumbled an excuse and they went off on her patrol.
Back in the present:
It is the day after Mikayla and Brady went on her patrol.
Mikayla is telling her friend, Rebecca, what had happened to her the previous night. "Ilovbleu?" Rebecca asked, confused.
"Ilovbleu!" Mikayla said. "So, instead of telling Brady you love him you said to him 'Ilovbleu'?" Rebecca asked. "I totally choked!" Mikayla said.
"I just don't get it! Why can't you tell Brady you love him?" Rebecca asked, confused.
"Ah, come on, this is a big deal for me! I have never said this to a guy before." Mikayla said. "Oh, now I understand. The first time is always the hardest." Rebecca explained.
Just then Boomer and Brady entered. They both kissed their girlfriends and Brady then said, "Oh, Mikayla before I forgot I got you your favourite chocolate." He handed the chocolate to her and she smiled.
"Aww, you lucky girl you! Don't you just love Brady?" Boomer said without thinking about the effects his words will have on the people standing in front of him.
Both Rebecca and Mikayla's eyes went wide with shock when they heard what Boomer said. Brady saw the shocked look on Mikayla's eyes and she then stumbled, "I… uhm… I…"
Brady then pulled Mikayla away from them so that they could have a private conversation.
"Brady, please just let me explain." Mikayla said. "You don't have to explain. You don't have to say it. It's fine." Brady replied.
"It's not like I don't want to say it. I just want to be careful. I don't want to rush things. If I say it now it will complicate things and change everything and I know people say change is good, but…" Mikayla stumbled on.
"Mikayla, Mikayla, stop! It's no big deal! You don't have to say it!" Brady said. "It is just a big thing to say it to someone and I don't want to say it too soon." Mikayla said.
"What? You mean like I did?" Brady asked, a bit angry. "No, I didn't… yeah like you did." Mikayla said.
"You know what? I take mine back!" Brady said, upset. "What?" Mikayla asked, upset. "I take my 'I love you' back!" Brady said, angry. "You can't take your 'I love you' back." Mikayla said, upset.
"Well, I just did!" Brady said, angry and walked away.
A few minutes later…
Brady walked into a very furious-looking Mason inside the castle.
"My King, have you seen Mikayla? She didn't show up for her training session with me." Mason said.
Brady knew Mikayla probably forgot with everything that was going on between them, so he said, "Oh sorry, Mason, that's my fault. I asked her to go with me for a walk on the beach and didn't see to it that she would be on time for your training."
Mason was furious and he started shouting at Brady when Mikayla showed up. "What's going on?" Mikayla asked, confused.
Mason told her what Brady told him and she was shocked. Mason then left the two of them alone. Soon after Mason left, Brady also turned around and walked away, still mad at Mikayla.
"Brady, wait!" Mikayla said and ran after him.
He then stopped and turned around. She then stood next to him. "I can't believe you did that for me!" Mikayla said. Brady just shrugged and said, "It was nothing."
"It didn't mean nothing to me." Mikayla said and gave Brady a hug. Still in his embrace, she whispered in his ear, "I love you." She then sighed with relief and said, "I said it!"
She released him from the hug and took his hands in hers and said, "It feels right. I love you."
"I'm gay." Brady joked. Mikayla smiled and jokingly punished him on the arm. Brady smiled and said, "I love you too." Then they kissed.
That's it for now! Let me know what you think by leaving me a review! P.S. I didn't have time to check for any grammar mistakes so I apologize if there were any.
