...do you like me? I mean... as more than a friend?" He was starting to sweat. What if she said
"HELL NO!" and stormed off? He couldn't even bear to think about that.
"Well," Zelda began. She was SOOOO nervous! What if she said the wrong thing? She
desperately wanted them to have a future together, and she knew this could be her only chance to
prove to him how in love with him she really was.
"I... I...I don't know," "DAMMIT, ZELDA!" she thought, "WHY THE HELL DO YOU HAVE
TO ACT SO DAMN STUPID AROUND LINK!?" She thought she would have a mental
melt-down.
"Is that a 'no'?" Link sounded as though he were about to cry. She knew she was in love with
him. She fantasized about him all the time. But why couldn't she just come right out and say it?
Oh, how she wanted to him to just lean over and kiss her. She wanted him to do other things, but
let's just keep this rated PG13.
"No, Link, I....I just don't know what to say..."
"Thendon't say anything at all," Link said as he leaned over and kissed her very passionately on
the lips. Link had no idea what had come over him, but he was glad it had. And Zelda sure didn't
mind him doing it, she even wrapped her arms around his neck and urged him on. "I guess I
know her answer..." he thought as he slowly pulled back. Zelda finally realized what had
just happened and looked away, not wanting to see Link's gorgeous baby-blue eyes staring into
her. She knew he was waiting for her to say something, but she couldn't put any words together
to form a complete sentence.
"Did that change your mind?" he asked hopefully. He really hoped that kiss hadn't upset her. That
was the last thing on earth he would want to do to her.
"Um...." Zelda replied, still at a loss for words. Link giggled, not being able to help himself. He
had never seen her like this. He could tell she wasn't mad, maybe a bit shocked, but not angry.
"Well, um, I, um, guess it did," Zelda answered quietly.
"So you do like me," Link said with a smile.
"Uh...not really..." Zelda hoped she would throw him off a little, to get him back for laughing at
her wordlessness. Link's smile faded. He looked confused. Zelda would never in her
life forget this moment.
"What?!" he asked, now VERY confused. He thought girls were confusing before, but now it
just tripled. Zelda just smiled.
"I love you," was Zelda's simple reply. Link's heart skipped a beat. Did he hear her right? Had she
just said she loved him? If so, he would never in his life forget this very day. She leaned over and
hugged him.
" Link, it's almost time for lunch, and we're expecting a guest afterwards. Father would be
terribly angry at the both of us if we were late, so we'd better get going,"
"Alrighty then," Link said as they both walked back to the castle, hand in hand.
*****************************************************************************
"Oh, Zelda, Link! As you both know, we will be having a guest this evening. But I didn't tell you
who it was because I wanted it to be a surprise. But 'he' will be arriving in an hour so I'll go
ahead and tell you. It's Prince Erich from Lilethia," said an overly excited King Harkinian.
Zelda's face went pale. She knew what this was for. Her Father was trying to get him interested
in her. Her Father had already invited him to dinner twice. But what her Father didn't know, was
that about a year ago, Prince Erich had tried to rape her. He had gotten as far as trying to unlace
her bodice before Link had come in to check on her and saw what Erich had tried to do. He
hadn't said anything about it. She looked over at him. He was as pale as she felt.
"Well, aren't you excited, Zelda?" asked a now confused and unexcited King.
"Oh, yeah, I guess," There was no way her Father would believe her if she told him, so she
decided to just go along with it.
"Uh, I'd better go get ready for lunch," said Link. He didn't really know how to respond, so he
figured he'd just leave. But what if Erich tried to rape Zelda again? He didn't really want to talk
to Zelda about it, it was her problem, but he felt he had to do something. He would talk to her in
a little while. Right now she should probably talk to her Father and get ready.
* So, how are ya'll liking the story so far? It's good, I hope. PLEEEEEZE R&R!!!!!!!!!!
And if you have any ideas, I'm completely open to them. I may not use all of them, but
we'll see:-)
Love, april
