Eclipse POV

"Uh… hi Leeche?" Lord Raenef stutters softly, and I do not know why but I feel a vein throbbing from my temple, wishing that I could do nothing more then pry that girl away from him. How dare she touch him like that as if she owned him! Not even I can do that!

Oh no… please say that I am not jealous – anything but that… it couldn't be, could it?

"Oh Rae you're having a ball! Why didn't you invite me!" the girl demands, no more then a child – if I could… I'd teach her a thing or two about manners – and trust me, they would not be lessons she'd forget that easily! Nobody talks to my Raenef like that…

I pause, and stare absently into mid-space, taken aback by my own thoughts. Where – had – that – come – from! MY Raenef! I must be totally losing it… I knew it, Raenef would be the end of me…

Massaging my forehead, expelling a subconscious sigh, I am jerked out of my thoughts by a rather concerned sounding: "E-Eclipse, are you all right?" and I raise my head to lock Raenef's aqua marine eyes with my own. My breath hitches. He really is beautiful… Eclipse – snap – out – of – this – NOW! You are not having feelings for him – a Lord of all people! No – you never have done before; and you are not starting now!

Here I am trying to convince myself that. I think I really have gone crazy.

"Of course my Lord," but of course, I'd rather be damned to hell and back before I let that show.

"That's good," he breathes a sigh of relief, before turning back to Leeche and attempting to pry her from him – futilely. I swear that that girl has a grip like an iron vice… "Uh… Leeche – I – I can't breathe! You're strangling me!" he finally squeaks as her grasp tightens around his neck as she gives him a friendly squeeze. I'd hate to be on the receiving end of a squeeze that was not amiable. I'm certain that Lord Raenef is turning blue!

"Lady Leeche, please be as so kind as to release my Lord," I say as politely as I can to another noble, but the underlay is perfectly clear: "Let go of him now before I make you"

"Aw… but you're ok aren't you Rae?" she looks up at him like a puppy to its owner, lovestruck. I think I want to take her as far away from him as possible – where she could never touch him or look at him like that again.

"Y-yea," he coughs as he slides out of bed, with nought but his nightshirt on. I think my heart just skipped a beat.

I think I am in serious trouble.

¦¦¦

I hope that was ok! Thanks once again all!

Love,

Dragonfly
