Chapter 3
Cain's POV
Why did I have to make that promise to the Mystic Man?
Flashback
"No, no, no, you stay with her at all cost." The Mystic Man said.
"I have to take care of Zero." I say.
"You know who she is now, she's the key, promise me, I want your word as a tin man, you will not leave her side at any costs."
"You have my word."
Flashback
She was so beautiful that night. I can't believe I made that promise. I'm still keeping that damn promise to this day. Why did I have to make it? She needs to understand that she has to choose queen over me. She won't, I know she won't because she loves me. No one is going to understand my relationship with DG especially Jeb. He will hate me; he will think I am insulting Adora's memory. Maybe I am, I don't know, I've thought she was dead for years. I move on years ago, I hope Jeb will understand that. I've got to find DG and apologize before it's too late.
Jeb's POV
Az kissed him like no had kissed him before. Who would have thought I would be with a princess especially the one I use to hate. Azkadellia was possessed by the with, that's what I have to remember that, it wasn't her fault. I knew I was in trouble when I accepted to be her bodyguard, the way she looked at me...I think I might be falling in love with her…no wait I can't.
"We shouldn't be doing this."
"Why not?" Az asks.
Her hair is a mess and her lips are all swollen, she doesn't even know how good she looks...wait, no, concentrate Jeb, this is wrong, she's a princess, you're her bodyguard.
"Because I'm your bodyguard and you're a princess, this is wrong." I say.
"No, its not, DG and Cain are have a relationship…they're in love and…wait did I say Cain, I meant, damn you shouldn't heard that, pretend you didn't." Az says.
"No, I won't pretend I didn't hear it. She's almost my age and…"
"So, I'm older than you and age is just a number…"
"He's a tin man, an ex-tin man and her bodyguard…"
"What does that matter? You're an ex-resistance fighter and my bodyguard and I'm falling in love with…"
"You're what…"
"No, wait, damn why can't I keep my mouth shut."
"Did you say you were falling in love with me?"
"Yes."
Next thing I know she grabs me and kisses me. I find myself kissing her back. Why does she have this affect on me? She's so beautiful and smart and kind and shut up brain. So I push her on the bed and kiss her, I'm the one in control now, seems like she likes it. Then her door opens and I freeze. Damn.
"Az, I need to talk to you…" DG says.
"Umm, hey baby sister, you know Jeb." Az says.
"Uh yeah, but what is he doing on top of you? Why is your hair messed up? Are your lips swollen? Whoa, what did I miss?""
"Together." I say.
Now I'm standing and so is Az. DG looks like a deer caught in headlights. Serves her right, not knocking before entering. I mean, what I am thinking.
"You two are together, but that can't be right." DG says.
"So it's okay for my father and you to be together, but not Az and me." I say angrily.
"Wait, what? How did you know about Wyatt and me, we haven't told anyone."
"Well umm it's kind of obvious to me and I might have let it slip…" Az says.
"You what?"
"We were arguing and I accidentally told him, I'm sorry, DG."
"I'm not, when was I going to be told, I am his son."
"We were afraid."
"Afraid…well he should be, you are half his age, you're almost my age."
"Az is older than you."
"Well, he's an ex-tin man and your bodyguard."
"You're an e-resistance fighter and Az's bodyguard"
"Well, I'm falling in love with her."
"Well, I love your father and he loves me."
"You mean it; you're falling in love with me." Az says.
"Yes."
I kissed her, I don't care that DG is in the room. I love her; she is everything I've always wanted. I've got to have a talk with my father.
"Umm, I'm going to go." DG say, looking uncomfortable.
"No, DG wait, I'm sorry, I should have told you." Az says.
"Why, I didn't tell you about Wyatt and me."
"I figured it out thought."
"I'm sorry too, Az."
As usual they hug and make up. Women. One minute they're mad and the next they're happy.
"Jeb, I know I'm the last person you want with your father. I know he's an ex-tin man and my bodyguard. I know he was married and had you. I know he's older than me, but I love him and he loves me. I know that he loved your mother, but he's moved on. She'll always be in his heart. He loves you so much and I know you love him too. Please don't be mad."
"I know he does, I just wish he would have told me."
"He was going too, he was just afraid."
"I'm sorry, DG."
"Me too."
"Please don't tell anyone about us, DG." Az says.
"I wasn't, as long as both you promise not to tell anyone about Wyatt and me."
"We promise." Az and I say at once.
DG left the room after that. That was just awkward and uncomfortable. At least she's not going to tell anyone. They'll find out some day, though.
"Did you really mean it earlier when you said you were falling in love…"
"Yes." I interrupted.
"I meant what I said too."
"Az?"
"Yes."
"I love you."
"I love you too, Jeb."
We kiss again. Hopefully, we won't be interrupted this time.
"So where were we?" I ask.
"I don't remember, why don't you remind me."
"Okay, just remember if we start this, I'm not going to be able to stop."
"I know, I don't want you too."
DG's POV
Well, that was just weird. Jeb and Az. At least Jeb didn't totally lose it when he found about his dad and me. Maybe he'll be okay, hopefully. I wish Wyatt was here. I miss him. Maybe I should, no he should be the one to apologize, not me.
"DG." Is it really him or I am just imagining him.
"DG" I must really be losing it.
"Come to tell me to choose queen over you again." I say bitterly.
"No, I came to apologize."
"Really?"
"Yes, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I should have known you would never choose queen over me."
"Took you long enough."
"I guess I deserve you being angry at me."
"Yes, everyone else is, Jeb thinks its, never mind."
"Jeb thinks what?"
"Well, Az figured us out and he kind of knows but he's okay with it, I mean he was mad at first, I knew he probably would be, but he got over it because I walked in on him and Az…damn I said way too much…"
"Wait, Az and Jeb are together."
"Yes, is that a problem?"
"No, it's just shocking."
"Yea, well you didn't walk in on him on top of her…"
"What, they were…"
"No."
"Umm, if you say so, I'll ask him about it later."
"I'm sorry, you come to apologize and all I can do is argue."
"It's fine."
"Umm…"
"I love you, DG."
"I love you too."
Then he kissed me. Just a gentle kiss, one filled with forgiveness. This is where I belong. In time, we will tell everyone and be together. Dorothy Gale Cain, that sounds so perfect.
Author's Note: Hey, sorry it took so long to update. Like I said I had school, then my friends were having problems and needed my help, then I had some personal problems of my own, then a tornado hit our house, then a family friend died, then my friend got engaged and asked me to be the maid of honor. I don't know when I'll update again, I'm having writers block and my friend gets married on August 2nd and I'm helping her with the wedding plans as any good maid of honor would do, lol. If you have any suggestions about what to see in the next chapter please tell me, I would greatly appreciate it. Oh and please review.
