"Jocelyn,"
I turned around. Oh, there he was. Why did he have to be so good looking? It was so hard.
"What is going on? I think we need to talk." Legolas walked right up to me and blocked my way of escape, not like I need to though.
"Yes, I think so too." I agreed.
He plopped down onto the ground and patted the spot next to him. "Sit down,"
"There? It's dirty." I complained.
Legolas gave me a persisting look and I dropped down next to him. There goes the pretty green dress. "Are you angry with me?"
"No," I lied.
"I can tell whether you are talking of the truth or not and right now you are not. Jocelyn, tell me. Why are you so upset? This is the second time you have done this to me since two nights ago. I am worried."
"It's nothing." I looked away.
"Of course it is something. Does it have to do with Niphredil? Oh, about last night? I really was only intending to show her my sword. It meant nothing!" Legolas placed his hand on my arm, trying to convince me.
"What about this morning? I saw her walking out of your room. What were you showing her then? Your cock?" Wow, my use of language was fancy.
Legolas chuckled while looking the other way. Was he laughing at me? I looked at him both shocked and mad. I thought he was here to comfort me.
'That's not his job. He doesn't have to every single time you're down, which is probably every five minutes.'
Was she implying that I needed therapy? Well, what about her?!
"Lady Jocelyn," Legolas said loudly, turning back to have a huge smile on his face.
Uh oh, this couldn't be good.
"Are you jealous?"
My jaw dropped. "What?! No way! What are you talking about?" I shifted uncomfortably on the spot.
Legolas smirked at me. "You have feelings for me, do you not?"
I mocked a shocked expression but that look on his face. Ugh! I just wanted to wipe that smirk off right then and there. "Whatever in god's name gave you that idea?" I glanced at him out of the corner of my eyes with my eyebrows raised.
"You. That way you act every time I talk to you. The way you move every time I look at you. The way you speak every time I walk up to you. The way you smile every time I notice you." Legolas' smirk wasn't there anymore.
I stood up. This was getting more and more tense by the second. I thought we were supposed to talk things out. This wasn't it! Should I admit it? No! Why should I? Look at this guy's attitude! He wasn't worth my time. Just walk away, Jocelyn. Just walk away. I turned to run but crashed into Legolas' broad chest instead.
"Jocelyn, you do not have to run away." He wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Run away? Me? Who said I was running away?" I tried to squirm out of his hold. "You were just standing right behind me and I didn't see you. That's all." I tried again. I looked up and his sweet blue eyes were doing their trick again. A slight smiled was playing on his lips. "Could you please let me go?"
Legolas looked up. "I would consider it."
"Are you saying that you like me?" I stared at him in astonishment.
"Could be." He looked back down at me with a smile on his face.
I felt like I was going to collapse. I didn't think at the moment my legs could support me. I realized he was hugging me to him. This felt better than meeting Brad Pitt or Orlando Bloom. How impossible could that be?!
"But I understand you do not feel the same way. I would not want to force you. It would be wrong. I guess I will leave you alone now." His arms quickly fell from my hips and they felt cold. He turned around slowly with his head bent low.
He was leaving? What was all that for then? Why was he leaving? Did I want him to leave? No, no I didn't!
'Stop him then, you idiot girl!'
"Wait!"
Surprisingly, he wasn't even a foot away from me yet. He must walk really slowly. Legolas spun around with a huge grin on his face. "Yes?"
I looked at him suspiciously then my eyes widened. "You were playing with me?"
Legolas slipped his hand behind his hair and rubbed the back of his neck. He looked at me innocently.
I shoved him playfully. I must have caught him off guard because he fell and with him, he pulled me. I landed on top of him. I could feel my face burning red. Stop it! Why was I feeling like this? I shouldn't be shy or embarrassed. I placed my hands on either side of his head to hoist myself up but Legolas stopped me. "I bet you did this on purpose, huh?"
He shrugged and asked, "But it worked didn't it?"
I wrinkled my nose at him. "Think again." I tried to get up again but he held on. With one hand he caressed my cheek. He slowly lifted up his head closer to mine. I could feel his slow breath on my skin. We were so close but SOMEONE just had to give us an update on their recent health.
Lord Earyn was standing by the edge of the glade to my right clearing hi throat quite loudly I might say. "Do you not have better things to do other than fooling around, Legolas? Come with me to practice archery."
I quickly got off Legolas. He didn't seem to resist this time. Oh, how I hated that bastard!
"I will be right behind you." Legolas nodded his head slightly.
Earyn gave me a stern look then walked away toward the shooting grounds.
"I am sorry about my cousin. He is like that. I can promise you one thing though. This tournament, I am going to win it for you. I am going to win it in your name." He looked at me proudly.
I prevented myself from smiling. It was sweet that he wanted to win it for me but I had a better idea. "No,"
"No?" Legolas looked at me curiously.
"I want you to lose." I gave an effort to keep a serious face.
"Lose?!" he didn't seem to believe me. "I cannot lose again! Do you not want me to win against Earyn?"
"If you don't lose, that mean what you said before was all a lie and I will hate you." I didn't really mean it but I wanted to make sure he wasn't just playing with me and behind my back he was playing with Niphredil.
"Jocelyn, you cannot do this to me."
Was he whining? "Are you going to lose or not?"
He stared straight into my eyes. He didn't seem too happy. "I will not lose." With that said, he went after Earyn.
Men and their pride! It was just a little test and he failed it already within a minute! How was I supposed to be nice today with this on my mind?! I knew I shouldn't have admitted it. Thanks a lot for the advice, witch; great big shout out to you.
'Hey, you were the one who didn't want him to leave. I just gave you a little push that's all. No need to blame it all on me.'
Great, I got turned down in the most horrible way ever. How was I going to live in school? Legolas was probably still thinking about Niphredil. Maybe she told him he had to win so now he wouldn't lose for me. I was so stupid as to think he really meant it. I got turned down! Jocelyn, for the first time you got turned down! Things couldn't go any worse. I wanted to scream so badly. I didn't think it was possible for me to be standing at where I'm at.
The bell ran for breakfast. I kicked the leaves on the ground and the light breeze caught it. I sighed and turned towards the direction of the dining hall. My appetite was gone. I let this get a hold of me. Jocelyn, you have to be strong. Actually, Legolas helped me. He gave me more a reason to leave. This should motivate me as to being nice.
'You're doing great! Look on the bright side of things.'
I took a deep breath of satisfaction and headed to breakfast, forcing my appetite to come back.
I came to the table and remembered I had to sit next to Niphredil. Well, I didn't HAVE to sit there. I took a seat two seats away from her.
"Sorry my lady, that is my spot."
I recognized the old man from last night. He was the small little guy. "You could sit in my seat." I offered. He just smiled and shook his head. I rolled my eyes and stood up. Whoa, he only reached up to my stomach. As I towered over him, I saw that his ears were pointy. Oh, more elves! Just what I needed!
I plopped down into my seat and that split second Niphredil turned to me with that great big smile of hers. I didn't want that at the moment.
"Good morning," she said loudly. I almost thought she was talking to the whole table.
I attempted a smile but I think it looked morel like a grimace. I saw past Niphredil that Legolas was looking at me. What did he want? He made me feel real bad already. I guessed he wanted to watch how I was suffering. Whatever happened to the Legolas that I first met? My appetite disappeared once again. As our food was set in front of us, I got into my old routine of poking the food with a fork.
"Is something wrong?" Niphredil turned to me.
I lifted my head to look over at Legolas. Earyn was whispering into his ear and glancing at me. Did he ever have anything else to talk about?! "I'm fine. I just had a big dinner and a very unpleasant sight this morning."
"Maybe later you could tell me about it while watching them practice." She nodded her head toward the lord and prince.
"No, I think I'd be better off in my room." I turned down the invitation because I didn't want to see the three people I hated most all in the same place around me...like now. I sighed and stood up. "Excuse me," I left the table of elves without another word.
I turned around. Oh, there he was. Why did he have to be so good looking? It was so hard.
"What is going on? I think we need to talk." Legolas walked right up to me and blocked my way of escape, not like I need to though.
