Author's Note: Sorry it's been so long since I last posted. I've been very busy with school, and I just recently found it in a stack of my looseleaf-paper stories. You see, most of my stories are on paper, and I'm in the process of transferring all my stories from paper to my computer. The problem is, when I move it from the paper to the computer. I find all my mistakes and I make, and I have to fix them right then. It makes my writing much better, but it takes three times as long. And then most the time I'm not in the mood to dictate my stories onto my computer, which is why I've yet to post even a quarter of the stories I have. I know I have at least thirty (I lost count somewhere around twenty, but they won't be on anytime soon, sorry.

I have to admit though this is one of my better ones. Those two people who reviewed I would just like to tell you that you're the one that got me restarted dictating this chapter. I'd only had a few paragraphs done. When I was looking through my reviews, and I read yours and it inspired me to find this story and finished at least posting this chapter, and for that. Thank you so much. Good reviews really do keep a writer from giving up. Please don't stop.

Crazy For Feeling

Part Three

"There comes a point when you just love someone. Not because they are good, or bad, or anything really. You just love them. That doesn't mean you'll be together forever. That doesn't mean you won't hurt each other. It just means you love them."

It was now just over a two weeks later. Proteus and Rosa had jobs to do but they still managed to find time to spend together, talking or walking in the castle gardens. They had also kissed again once or twice, and Rosa was amazed to find she hadn't thought of Sinbad in these two weeks.

One night, just sixteen days after her arrival, Proteus had asked her to meet him in the gardens at sunset.

She was wearing a dress the color of sapphires, her hair was down with no ornamentation in it. She looked really good, if she did say so herself.

When Rosa reached the gardens Proteus was already there, sitting on a stone bench staring at his feet. He looked very nervous, which was unusual, because he always seemed very self-confident, to her. He was as usual impeccably dressed but tonight, his hair was loose and not in its customary ponytail.

He looked rather ethereal, his hair billowing around his head like a halo. Rosa hurried to sit beside him and couldn't resist brushing his hair away from his face. He looked up almost startled and smiled at her. The corner of his eyes crinkled slightly.

"Proteus..." He slid his hand to meet hers and held them both between their laps.

"I must ask you something, and I'm asking you as a man, not a prince. I love you, and I want to marry you for myself." Proteus looked her directly in the eye his blue eyes, very serious and completely sincere.

"Will you marry me?" He then pulled a ring from his pocket and showed it to me. It was simple in design, a plain silver band with a small teardrop emerald and two diamonds on each side, it was a very beautiful ring.

She looked at Proteus and tried to imagine her life without him, and she couldn't. She'd only known him two weeks and yet the thought of life without him made her chest ache. It was no longer about getting away from her father. Or even having been in love with her brother.

She loved Proteus. The feelings she got when he was near her... She couldn't explain it in words it was like nothing she'd ever experienced before. She was ready she wanted to marry him, have his children, grow old with him.

"Yes. Yes, I will." It is always gentle hands, he slipped a ring on her finger.

"I love you Proteus, I want to you to know that it's not because you're Prince but because you're you." She smiled at him and he smiled back at her. He stood pulling her with him. Slipping his hand under her chin, he leaned down and kissed Rosa soundly. A quiet moan escaped, and she threaded her hands through his long hair playing with it again.

When they broke apart for air she let out an almost giggle-like laugh.

"What is it?" Proteus frowned slightly down at her, but continued to smile.

"Your hair is prettier than mine..." Rosa said and then laughed at his slightly put out face, and they kissed again. They held hands as he escorted her back to her quarters. When they reached her door.

"Do you not wish to make plans?" This time Rosa was the one who was confused.

"Make plans for what?"

"The wedding, of course, most women enjoy that sort of thing don't they?" Rose blinked for a moment, and almost laughed, but stopped herself.

"Proteus, what... Proteus I don't really mind what we do. I'm sure that since you're getting married. Everyone in Syracuse will have to attend, if it was my choice it would be a small quiet wedding. But," She continued to smile up at him. Rosa took a step closer, reached up and cupped his face.

"I have what I want. As long as at the end of that day, I can call you mine and you call me yours. I don't care how we get there." Rosa opened her door and took a step inside.

"I will talk to the event planners in the morning. Goodnight Proteus, sleep well."

"Goodnight... my love." Rosa smiled sweetly and warm feeling in her stomach, and closed the door. Though it was still rather early, She decided to go to bed. After changing into her nightclothes, and crawling into bed. Then thought something that made her blush crossed her mind.

What does he look like under all those high collared clothes of his? She knew, he practiced many sports. He was physically fit, extremely handsome. She felt like she was dreaming. She was engaged to an extremely loving and caring man, who also happen to be very attractive. And she would never have to worry about money ever again. How did she get so lucky? She'd never been this happy before.

She reached to her nightstand again, this time pulling out a small leather bound book that was a very old, and weatherbeaten. It'd been passed down from mother-to-daughter in her family for over seven generations. Her mother had given it to her when she became a woman at twelve, shortly before she passed away.

Inside the book was each generations advice on how to be a good wife and mother. She had read the first-half as was allowed, which taught her how to cook, clean, and raise children. But the last chapter in the back of the book she had never read, because only married women were allowed to read this. Normally, the mother and daughter would go over this together, but her mother died when she was thirteen. So she must do it on her own. She knew she was a bit premature in reading it, but she been curious for a long time now. And she was about to be married...

Rosa opened the book, and flipped the pages to the last chapter. Her heart beating rapidly, because she had a good idea what this last chapter was. Rosa turned the page.

Rosa was right. This section of the book explained sex and how to do it properly. It's said that men love it when you put your mouth on their member. And that if you did it properly you could have just about anything you wanted. It explained how to show him what to do to you. Rosa was so embarrassed it even had some rather realistic drawings. She was horrified but still morbidly curious, the thought of doing these things with Proteus terrified and thrilled her.

Unable read any further, and blushing furiously, she closed the book and shoved it back into the drawer beside her bed.
