last time
But what surprised me the most, was when Mary leaned closer to me, obviously looking at my lips. I knew I should have avoided this situation, but I just couldn't. I didn't lean in either, I waited for her to kiss me. Or to stop if she would change her mind.
Mary's POV
I didn't know why I wanted to kiss him. Did I love him or was it just because I was angry at Francis? However, I wanted to kiss him, that was all that counted at that moment. I leaned over to him, more and more. He didn't lean over to me but I didn't take that as rejection. I knew he liked me, a lot of people knew. Kenna told me about it earlier and Lola did too. At first I didn't want to believe them, but I realized it when we talked.
When my lips met his, it felt like an explosion of feelings. We both knew now that we kind of loved each other, even if we knew that it couldn't happen. But neither of us did care at this special moment. He put his hand to my cheek and caressed it. His eyes locked with mine and I became fully aware of what just happened. I didn't really realize before, but know. I broke our eye contact and stared at the ground, my mind spinning.
What will happen now? I can't love Bash, he is the illegitimate son of the king! And I am engaged to his brother, ok half-brother, but still.
"Are you alright, Mary", Bash asked. He looked at me and his eyes showed his happiness, they were literally glowing in a light green.
"Yes Bash, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have done that. I was angry ... I should go." I stood up and began to walk away, ashamed of what I've done.
"No Mary, please wait." I stopped but didn't turn around. I didn't want to face him, I was afraid of what I would do. "What is it Bash", I asked, my voice shaking.
"I love you." Ok that was it, why did he have to say this. I felt a single tear running down my cheek but I still didn't dare to turn to him.
"Why do you say this? Did you forget that I'm going to marry you brother, the future king of France?" Why did he have to say this, did he want to destroy everything? I knew I kissed him and that I shouldn't blame him for me slowly falling in love with him. I also knew it couldn't be happening because I would marry his brother. They could kill Bash if they knew he loved me and I really didn't want to risk that. But I at least had to tell him the truth, so I turned around.
"I like you too, Bash, but this", I pointed at the two of us "can't be happening. I'm sorry."
He came to me and kissed the tear on my cheek away. "No one needs to know", he said.
He looked into my eyes and probably searched for a rejection. He wouldn't find anything except love and fear. Yes, I did love him and I was afraid of what could happen if I agreed and someone found out about us. Bash saw my inner struggle and kissed me.
I couldn't do anything else but kiss him back. Our kiss deepened and I knew my answer. Was I going to risk everything for him? Yes, absolutely.
I stopped the kiss. "Bash?"
We looked at other deep in the eyes, Bash tilted his head a little.
"Yes Mary?"
"I think I made my choice. I really do love you and I want to be with you, no matter what. It's just a shame that we have to keep our love a secret."
"That's no problem Mary. Maybe one day we won't have to hide anything. You just made me the happiest man alive." He picked me up bridal style and spun me around. We were both laughing.
"Mary we will find a way. I promise."
"I believe you Bash." I kissed him one last time and then went back to the castle. Unfortunately he couldn't come with me because a guard or a servant would have seen us.
From that day on, we always found excuses to go riding or to just meet each other. And if not he visited me in the evenings in my room. He came to the secret passage ways and then left the same way. For our good, no one found out. But as we promised each other we would find a way to really be together.
Francis and I talked again but we didn't kiss or something. I didn't love him and it was clear that he didn't love me either. I thought a few times about telling him, but then again I realized it probably wasn't a good idea. But he told me he fell in love with Lola.
It told him it was okay with me because I didn't love him either. That was all I told him. We all kept doing our own things.
Now I sat on my bed in my room and thought about everything. I was happy.
One day everything will be as it's supposed to be, I thought. After a while I lay down and fell asleep. As always, my dream was about Bash and me. We were married and had two little children. A boy and a girl. The boy had my eyes and his hair, also some of his features. The girl looked more like me, but had his eyes, his beautiful, green glowing eyes.
THE END
AN: Hey again. So that was it I guess, the last chapter. I hope you all enjoyed this story and I'm glad if you like it. And if not, that's okay.
Please tell me what you think of everything ;)
And again THANKS for all your follows, favorites and reviews. I appreciate that.
