Betrothed To a Jerk -- Chapter 2
~ ~ ~
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Glaring at the young man with ebony hair and sapphire eyes one could get lost in, Serenity frowned. Just as she opened her mouth to say something, her mother interrupted.
"Serenity, dear, do sit down with us and talk. We have much to discuss." Her mother gestured to a chair next to her in front of a table with , what Serenity guessed to be the Queen and King of Earth.
As Serenity cautiously approached, the King stood in respect for the young woman.
Smiling slighly, Serenity went to pull out the chair, but she found that someone was already pulling it out for her.
"Let me help you, mi'lady." the young man said in a smooth voice.
Nodding slightly, Serenity went to sit down, but just as she had just reached the chair seat, it was swept out from under her and down she fell. "Oof! OOoohhh, stone floor, da--" Seeing the look of horror on the King and Queen of Earth's face as they thought she was about to curse, Serenity rephrased that. "I mean, Goodness me! I seemed to have slipped....I do wonder what happened to my chair. It seems to have slid out from under me, go figure."
Queen Serenity quickly apologized. "Please forgive her rudeness, your majesties. Serenity has not intent or want of this marriage. She knows not what she says."
The King assured her, "No need for apologies, fair madam. No harm is done....Now, Endymion, you apologize to the Princess for making her fall."
"But, Fath--"
"No buts, just apologize." He flashed a menacing look to his son.
In a sarcastic tone, Endymion apologized and bent down to help her up off the floor.
*Hey! I resent that! I am not helpless.* "I can get up myself! Don't touch me!" She wailed and ran out of the building, down the steps.
Queen Serenity sighed and rubbed her temples. "I'm sorry. She just needs some time. She only found out about this whole ordeal this morning. Things are happening very fast, but for her own protection, we must make this alliance..."
The King and Queen both nodded. As he sat down, the King of Earth told Endymion, "Go find her. Make sure she is okay, and you apologize, boy!"
"Yes, father..."
Princess Serenity's gaurdians stood in complete confusion. Had their Serenity just let some idiot Princes she never met get under her skin? Each one of them felt pity for the boy who dared mess with the Moon Goddess. Well, she wasn't really the Moon Goddess, but that was what the commoners called her. Each one of them sent Endymion as he walked by them down the stairs.
He resented their looks as he walked down the steps chaising after a pissed off Serenity.
Just as her feet had hit the solid ground, over her shoulder Serenity noticed that the Prince was following her. *Oh wow, it must be my lucky day, I get a jerk to chase me. HOW FUN!!!* So, she ran faster.
"Wait up, Princess Seren--!" *Damn...What is her name again?* Endymion called out to her while he was running after her.
At that comment, Serenity whirled around. Anger flashed in her crystal blue eyes. "My name is Serenity, not Seren!"
"Whoa! Calm down! I didn't want to insult you by calling you the wrong name so I stopped in the middle!"
"You didn't seem so sorry when you made me fall on my face back there..."
"Well, you see, I thought since you already fell once, it would be nice for you to get aquatinted with the floor since you didn't get to meet it last time." He mocked her with a charming smile that would normally make women, any woman, swoon after him.
Instead of her eyes glazing over and a dazed look to appear on her face at the smile he sent her way, she raised her eyebrows. Her eyes now mocked him. "Oh really? Well, it's thanks to you that I didn't get to meet it." She tossed her head to the side playfully and sent him an innocent and sweet smile. When she saw his eyes widen at her comment and action, she smiled even wider. He was only a few feet away and she walked up to him slowly. A grin played on her full pink lips. "Thank you ever so much, Endymion..." She stopped in front of him and acted as if she was done talking.
"Well, you're ---" Before he could continue in that sickening smug tone, Serenity interrupted.
"--As I was saying, Thank you ever so much Endymion, for proving what an idiot you are." With that statement being said, she walked passed him, pushing her shoulder into his, knocking him out of the way. But, before she started to ascend the stairs again, she looked over her shoulder, winked, and said, "See you later, Endymion."
Endymion scowled after the girl. *Oh, she is going to get it, and I mean good. She's got another thing coming if she thinks she can insult me and get away with it!* After thinking of several things to do to get her back for the comments she made, he began to walk up the stairs himself. Their parents would get worried if they stayed gone too long. They might think Endymion threw the Moon Princess in the River like the last annoying Princess came to visit.
~Flashback~
"C'mon Endymion, let's go pick some flowers in that field over there!" A bouyant girl with short brown hair and hazel eyes told him. She looked to be about 15 years old. This girl was the Duchess of Divito, a neighboring Kingdom. This had to have been the fifth time she asked within the last five minutes.
*Why do my parents ALWAYS pick the girls that are completely senceless!?! WHY ME!?* "Okay Melany, OKAY!"
As they walked over to the field, Melany looked around and started picking weeds happily. Beaming on them, she showed them to Endymion, "Aren't they beautiful?"
*What field is she talking about? That is a weed.* "Oh, yeah, beautiful."
Melany kept asking annoying questions until Endymion had had enough. He swept her up in his arms and carried here about ten feet away where the river was. He set her down on her feet and gestured towards the riverbed. "Look, there are some beautiful flowers? Want those?"
Melany's face lit up as she ran over to the edge of the river. As she reached out to grab the "flower", someone nudged her from behind. "AHHHH!"
*~* SPLASH *~*
"Ahhh! Endymion! I fell in, HELP!" Melany cried as she struggled around in the two feet deep river. "Ah me! Look at my dress! It's all wet and icky!" Her dress was indeed wet and icky. Dark brown mud was smeared all over her face as well as the white satin gown.
"Silly girl...you shouldn't have been trying to pick a cattail then. A cattail is NOT a flower!" A very annoyed Endymion told her. Then, he walked off. Leaving Melany there throwing a fit.
~End of Flashback~
Endymion chuckled as he remembered how Melany treated him last time she saw him at a ball. She stuck her nose up in the air and strode off when he said hi to her. He entered into his parent's terrace "conference" room unnoticed. Somehow, within the few minutes Endymion had straggled behind Serenity, she had fallen asleep. Her head was leaned in the corner of the straight backed chair. Endymion was almost taken back by her appearance. *She's beautiful...* Then, reality hit, this IS the girl that had just humiliated him. She would pay. He would get her back. He always got his way.
The King of Earth stood up. "Son, could you please take Miss Serenity to her chambers please?"
"Oh, um, of course...um...but where are her chambers?" He inquired.
"Across from your chambers of course. I mean, you two are to be wed soon ,anyhow." The King said.
Endymion rolled his eyes. "How am I to get her there when she is asleep? Certainly you do not wish me to wake her!"
Queen Serenity interrupted. "Sorry to intrude, but believe me, Serenity will not awake, but if she does she will go right back to sleep. She's had a very ...er...
informative day. If she willed herself sleep like I think she has, she won't awaken unless she wishes to."
Partially confused by what the Queen said, Endymion only nodded before he proceeded to walk over and gently pick the sleeping Princess up. Once she was in his arms, he walked across the room to where the door into the castle was. After a servant opened it, he began to make his way to the girl's chambers, ALL the way at the other end of the castle. *Just as I thought, light as a feather...* He was half way to the chambers when the sleeping girl woke up, practically jumping out of his arms, but he made she stayed secure.
Rubbing her eyes, Serenity peered around. "Wh..Where am I?"
"Where do you think you are?" Endymion inquited with a certain hint of sarcasm. Once again, he had to refrain her from jumping out of his arms. "Now, now, settle down Princess. I was given strict orders to take you to your chambers."
"I'm perfectly able to walk." She insisted.
"But--"
"No buts, I can WALK!" She insisted once again while she shifted uncomforably in his hold. *His smell --of roses-- is intoxicating.*
Endymion was throughouly enjoying the wraithing she was doing. *So, uncomfortable are we? Hm...Princess, you just gave yourself away to a very bad thing.* "Fine." He sat her down on her own feet.
Images and conversations from what happened today swam before her as the world uprighted itself. She let out a weak moan and would have fallen forward if not for Endymion, who grabbed her just in time..once again. Darkeness threatened to enfold her, but she wouldn't give in. *I hope we get the room soon.*
Endymion chuckled. "Sleeping Princess don't walk to well." Before she could protest, which she wouldn't this time, he swept her up back into his arms. The dazed look left her face, and once again she wraithed in his arms uncomfortably. "Am I not comfortable enough for you?" He asked desperately trying to keep the grin off his face.
"No. I'm fine." She assured him as her face turned bright red.
"Oh really?" He squished her closer to him.
Serenity closed her eyes for a minute, the smell of roses was really starting to irk her. Her face visibly paled, but she refused to give in. "Yes, really." She stated adamantly.
"Hmmph." He said as he swung her down to her feet when her stopped in front of a thick wooden door.
"Well, goodbye. See you soon." She was about to turn around and run into the room ,but Endymion forced her shoulders against the doorframe. "Hey! Let go of me!"
"Shh!" He reprimanded as he held a finger up to her lips. *She's getting scared.*
Serenity face was mingled with splotches of white and red. "I'm warning you! Let go --" Before Serenity could finish, Endymion cut her off with a kiss.
Endymion prolonged the kiss a little until Serenity stopped hitting his back with her fists and surrendered. He ran his hands through her hair , messing up her moon hair clips, and forcing her into a gentle yet rough kiss. When he was satisfied, he drew back.
Fury mixed with confusion was written all over her face. "How! .. How Dare you!"
*What the hell is he thinking! I'm not some stupid girl he can toy with. Oh he will pay for that!*
"You know you enjoyed it." Endymion taunted as he let go of her and crossed her arms.
Serenity simply arched her eyebrows and pursed her lips. "I've had better." She challenged.
Endymion's mouth dropped. But closed it, "Well, we could try again."
But before he could grab her, Serenity ran into her room ,slammed the door shut, and bolted it. Right into Endymion's face.
As much as he banged on the door, Serenity was sleeping, and would not hear him.
Finally he gave up. *I'll get her back. I've got to have another kiss from that Goddess...WHAT THE HECK!?! DID I JUST THINK WHAT I THINK I DID?! Man, I've really not have enough sleep...* He shook his head slightly as he crossed the hall to his room and slammed the door. *I could definitely get used to having someone to tease...* was his last thought into falling into blissful sleep of revenge on Serenity and more kisses from this Goddess...
