"I have a feeling we can help each other," Cleon said, his eyes twinkling with wickedness.
Chapter 5:
"How?" Serena asked, playing dumb. She also had a plan of her own. But two brains are better than one.
"Well….." Cleon leaned towards her to whisper in her ear. Serena's expression changed from anger to absolute delight.
"Yes, that would definitely work!" she said, jumping from joy.
Going according to plan, they linked arms, and strolled down the hall, in search of a servant or anyone who could deliver a message to Kel and Dom.
Cleon decided to use Lord Raoul for this one. They walked briskly towards the Knight Commander's suite, almost running. When they reached it, they took a second to straighten up, before knocking.
"Hello, Sir Cleon, what are you doing here?" Raoul asked, after giving Cleon a quick head to toe inspection. He never liked Cleon, and he began to hate him when he broke Kel's heart. However, Dom…..now that was a different story. He always knew they were in love. I better talk to Neal and gather some information about whether anything has happened between those two yet.
"Well, milord, haven't you noticed your sergeant has disappeared for the whole afternoon? Shouldn't you be collecting reports or anything right about now?" Cleon asked mischievously, sending Serena a wink Raoul didn't catch.
"Sir Cleon, the way I do my job is my business. But thank you for asking, and I will check on them all soon, after I get some rest. Now if you excuse me, I have a meeting to get to." And with that, Raoul slammed the door shut. That Cleon vexes me. He's up to something. And as for my sergeants….I saw Aiden in the practice courts after lunch. But Dom….where is he? He thought.
He headed down towards Dom's rooms, with a feeling that he was sleeping while everyone else was working. That means latrine duty for him, he thought, chuckling.
He reached the door, only to find it locked. He was used to just going into his sergeant's rooms unannounced. But seems like he finally smartened up and locked the door. Something's not right. Dom never locks his room. Raoul thought. His head was spinning with confusing thoughts, all of which had almost nothing to do with him.
A while after he knocked, the door opened to show Dom with Kel cuddled against him. Raoul was impressed. Looks like she finally let him in. Third Company are going to have lots to bet on this Mid-Winter! He thought.
"Kel? You – and – Dom…..?" he asked, backing away slowly.
Kel turned a deep shade of red. I really need more training with my mask. She thought, trying to cover up the blush that was spreading across her cheeks.
"Well it took you two long enough!" Raoul said, giving them a huge hug, engulfing both of them.
"Sir?" Kel asked, through Raoul's arms, confused. Dom on the other hand, knew that almost the whole of Third Company knew his secret.
"I always knew you two would make a great couple. And you're not that good at hiding your feelings anymore, Kel. All of Third Company knows about the flirting between you and Dom," he said, directing it at Kel.
"Raoul? Hug – Can't – breathe," Dom said, choking.
"Oh dear. Sorry guys. I got a bit caught up." Raoul said, slightly blushing. "But Dom, is this courting official yet? You know the rules of court. You have to ask permission from her parents. But then…that's when they're court ladies…not lady knights. Well did you ask her yet?" Raoul blurted out all in one breath.
"Woah there Commander Knight. Remember to breathe. Of course I asked her," said Dom in a teasing voice. Raoul gave him a glare before turning to Kel.
Sensing what he was going to say next, Kel cut in. "And I said yes."
"Oh. I need to sit down. I can't believe this happened." Raoul said. He paused. Then a grin tugged at his lips. "Flyndon owes me 5 gold nobles," he said, before chuckling and running down to the stables.
"Oh no…" Dom gasped. "Now all Third Company is going to know. Probably the whole Kingdom will know too. I'm sorry Kel, this is all my fault."
"Oh Dom, I don't know why I'm feeling this, but I don't mind. Let the whole world know for all I care. I love you," she told him, and rested her head on his chest, her arms enveloping his waist, pulling him closer towards her.
Dom smiled at hearing this, and tilted her chin up so her brown eyes met his blue ones. They stared into each other's eyes, lost in them for quite a while, when Cleon and Serena just happened to walk down the hall and saw this phenomenon.
"Well, well. Look, Serena. They just can't get enough of each other." Cleon said, leaning down to kiss Serena, leaving her shocked. This is not according to plan! We weren't supposed to kiss my lips! I knew I couldn't trust him! Well I guess I just have to play along for this one. But after this, I'm doing things my way.
Hearing a voice, Kel and Dom jumped apart only to find Cleon bend down to kiss Serena.
"Hey, Dom, isn't that Serena?" She looked at Dom, whose face was almost completely drained of colour. "Dom? Dom? Mithros, DOM!!!" she yelled in his ear.
Dom could only nod in reply, and pulled Kel closer towards him. "Yes, it's Serena. And Cleon."
Kel's face was emotionless, her mask was in place.
"I have to go finish off my reports The Stump is coming tomorrow. You know how he gets," she mumbled, and turned to leave.
Dom tugged on her sleeve and pulled her into another kiss. He risked a last glance at Cleon and Serena, who were in a tight hug.
"Well I guess I should do mine too. I don't like getting fried by him. But I have a feeling Neal does," he said, with a touch of laughter. He gave Kel a quick tight hug before closing his door.
He leaned against the closed door and buried his head in his hands. Why do I feel this way? I should be happy with Kel.
Well that's all I got for now. I keep getting writers block. But then I cant say that coz im not a writer….my brain just gets blocked.
