Unwanted
TJ: Thanks Pen2 and QuickSilver for the excellent reviews you're giving to me, I'm liking it. As soon as I finish reading AoA, Pen2, then I'll help with suggestions, but I'm only part-way through! LOL
Barda: Shall we warn them about this chapter?
TJ: Probably. Okay, there is another girl that Lief is going to seem to be in love with. Her name is going to be Amy. Trust me, it won't be pretty between Amy and Jasmine in a few chapters, but, as you guessed, the end result will always (in my stories) be Jasmine with Lief. I think I pity Jasmine in this chapter.
Lief: Who wouldn't? I don't love Amy…
she's a suck up. I don't like suck ups.
TJ: Lief, Jasmine sucks up to you all the time.
Lief: Yeah, but that's different!
TJ: Whatever.
CHAPTER X
~*~*~
Jasmine was not listening to anyone speak, since they were mostly speaking to Lief anyhow. Mostly about Deltora and how nice it was to have him there; Jasmine did get jealous at a few looks some of the young girls were giving Lief. Jasmine found herself glaring at those girls. She couldn't help it, after the ordeal in the alleyway, she felt very possessive towards Lief. Well, she had before too, but now it was stronger. He was hers.
Although, they were close friends, nothing more. So, that ordeal in the alleyway was probably only because Lief wanted someone to show affection to, he did that sometimes. Still he was not married, and people seemed to be rushing him to be wed, but he wouldn't.
This made Jasmine wonder, Lief needed an heir, and he was clearly lonely, in the sense of having no lover. Along the same reasons that Jasmine was lonely.
Lief had so many near-death situations in his life, Jasmine was sure one of them would kill him. And everyone was terrified that he would die long before he had an heir.
Still Jasmine did not listen as the conversation with the Torans continued. She pay attention closely to how the young girls looked at Lief and how they spoke to him and what they said, however, but that was about it. One of the girls was clearly flirting with Lief more than the others were, and Jasmine was giving that girl a death glare.
She seemed to smirk at Jasmine, seeming to see her jealousy. After a while, Jasmine couldn't take it and she got up and stormed out, everyone except the girl, Amy, watched her leave with surprise on their faces, especially Lief.
Amy nearly instantly moved to sit down beside Lief, where Jasmine once had been. "Guess she's not in a good mood, huh? Would you like to come over later?"
"I should really see what's bothering her," Lief said.
"Ooh come on, it's not like she can run away. I'm sure your other friend won't let her. You can talk to her later, just come over for a little while," Amy persisted. Lief thought for a long moment.
"Well, all right."
~*~*~
Jasmine, grumbling, had gone back to the alleyway her and Lief had been in a few hours before. It was about an hour after Jasmine had left the meeting angrily, and with no intentions of going back, or going near Lief when that girl was around. She only knew the girl's name and she hated her. It drove her crazy that Lief didn't seem to notice how irritated she had been getting.
Come on Jasmine, you have other things to worry about other than who loves who and crap. I don't love Lief… at least, I don't think I do. I mean, he's a King, supposed to be cooped up all his life within palace walls.
He's supposed to do everything perfectly, and is supposed to marry who his mother thinks is worthy and have an heir with that girl as soon as possible.
Jasmine sighed depressed, her head in her hands. Some of her black hair fell into her face, but she did nothing about it, just stared at the end of the alleyway forlornly.
~*~*~
Meanwhile, back at Amy's house, Lief and Amy were in Amy's bedroom.
Amy was sitting quite close to Lief, a little too close. If Jasmine had been there, she would have lost her temper at how close Amy was to Lief. Only Jasmine had ever been that close to Lief. Amy ran her fingertips lightly across the top of Lief's upper leg. ((I'm sorry, I'm trying not to laugh as I write this, so forgive any typos please!))
Lief didn't seem very uncomfortable with it though, he seemed to be letting her do so. Amy is a very beautiful girl. And I'm really enjoying her company, but I should really go and find out what's wrong with Jasmine. Of course, Jasmine can wait, I think I might be in love with Amy… so far, there's not much I dislike about her, if I dislike anything at all.
"So, Lief, what would you like to do now?" Amy asked, fingertips running up slightly higher. ((Meep. That was out of the blue.))
Lief could only tremble, and fall onto his back in response. This was his reaction, mostly to her touching him.
Amy slowly moved so that she was laying on top of Lief. And she then started to kiss him, on his lips, jaw, near his ear, or his neck.
Lief had his eyes closed, although, he wasn't sure why. It was either out of contentment or discomfort, but, currently, Lief didn't seem to be able to react as he probably should have.
~*~*~
TJ: I think it would be unsafe for me to continue this chapter, I think we know what Lief and Amy are thinking, of course, Jasmine is not going to like it. She's going to be quite unhappy, especially when she finds out Amy was seducing Lief quite easily.
Lief: She is?
TJ: She is now yes.
Lief: I don't want to be seduced by her… I want to be seduced by Jasmine.
TJ: Nope. Not allowed. Not yet.
Lief: Aw, you suck.
TJ: Shut up and do your job.
Lief: Make me.
TJ: *holds up a mace* NOW!
Lief: Meep *runs*
