Hello! Here's chapter 3, hope you like it. Don't forget to review!
Chapter 3:
"You, You're in love with me?"
"Yeah, I am," Dom was beet red with embarrassment. "Of course, this isn't exactly how I imagined I would tell you."
Kel was trying to catch her breath. "So, how had you imagined it?"
Dom smiled, "Come with me and I'll show you."

Dom had led her into the woods. They were at a still lake, the moon's reflection shimmering on the surface. "Come on," Dom whispered as he took her hand and led her to a rock over-looking the lake. "To start off, when I told you, we would be right here..."
Kel smiled, "And then?"
Don took a deep breath. He met Kel's eye, and tilted her face up towards him, then he kissed her. Kel's head spun, although kissing Cleon was nice, it was no comparison to the feeling that she had now. After the shock of being kissed wore off, she wrapped her arms around his neck and returned the kiss. They eventually broke apart, however reluctantly.
"This is where I planned to tell you that I was in love with you." Dom explained.
Kel looked up into Dom's piercing blue eyes. "I love you too." He laughed, then swinging her around he kissed her again.

Weeks passed, and Kel had never been happier in her entire life. Dom was sensitive and caring, and was completely devoted to her. It didn't take long for everyone to know of their love, and her friends would tease her about it, but she didn't care, not so long as she was with him.
"Kel, there's a ball tonight, will you go with me?" Dom asked one day while kissing in a corridor.
"Of course!" Kel laughed. "You didn't really have to ask, you know."
"Yes, I do know, but I wanted to make it official. I have to run, I'll see you tonight." With that he kissed her and sped off down the hall.
As Kel wandered back to her rooms she couldn't help but over-hear some young ladies, sharing a bit of court gossip.
". . .Well I heard that he's more handsome than the King!"
"Oh! Well I heard that he's a perfect gentleman, honorable, and very romantic. . ."
"Well, I met him."
"Did you really?! What was he like?"
"He was perfect! I've never met anyone like him. His name is Sir Grant. I'm sure that I'll get to dance with him tonight. I mean, he was definitely flirting with me when I met him. . ."
A new knight for the other girls to swoon over; It happens all the time. But I'll have Dom tonight, thought Kel. She grinned, then went to go change for the ball.

"Well, I'm not to shabby," Kel told her pets. "Actually, I look good." She was wearing a green dress. It was low cut, and the sleeves were tight, but flared out at the elbow. There was a layer of gold chiffon over the green, and the total effect was amazing. She had twisted her chin-length hair into a bun, because it was to short to pile on top of her head. She was debating over whether or not she should put a thin layer of brown eye rouge when there was a knock on the door. "Hang on one second!" Deciding for the rouge, she quickly applied it, as well as some lip paint, then opened the door. It was Dom.
"You look beautiful!" His eyes were alight with wonderment, as he looked her over. He was in black tights with a blue tunic. The perfect contrast for his white shirt. He was holding a single red rose in his hand.
Kel blushed when she noticed the rose. "Oh! Sorry, this is for you." Dom exclaimed as he handed her the rose. He smiled, "Come on, let's go."

Kel and Dom had danced several dances in a row, and Kel was tired. Dom wandered off to go talk with some of his friends, and Kel went to go get herself a glass of wine.
While she was sipping her drink, someone tapped her on the shoulder. "Excuse me, My lady. When you are done with your refreshments, would you care to dance with me?" Kel turned to look at the speaker. He was the most handsome man she'd ever seen. His hair was a light brown, and his eyes were deep blue on the outer rim, then faded into a green. He was tan, but not dark. He was tall, several inches taller than she was, and he muscular and moved with cat-like grace. He had on navy dress pants, and a cream shirt.
"I'd be honored," Kel replied, "I am Sir Keladry if Mindelan, but who, may I ask are you?"
"Of course, forgive me. My name is Sir Grant of Alden's Peak."
