Chapter 12: Those Three Words
It's been over a couple of days since the engagement party. Lately Gunther and I were a lot closer than we ever been before. Sometime I would sleep in his bed room and sometimes he would sleep in mine bedroom. I never been so excite to be one guy so much, especially since I used to think he was a jerk.
Things change and let's face it, I am loving this. Maybe it's time to tell Gunther that I love him. It's not like he hasn't said it to me once or twice before. And I feel bad that I haven't said the L word to him yet. I think it's time to tell my prince that I love him as much as he loves me.
"Gunther, wake up." I said shaking him.
"What is it CeCe? I'm tired." Gunther asked.
"That's because you've been up working all night." I said shaking him again.
Gunther sat up glanced at me, "Or maybe it's because your mama and papa kept me up all night talking my ear off."
"Hey!" I shouted hitting him with a pillow. "Those are my parents you're talking about."
"I know that. I was just kidding. I love seeing your face scrunch up when you're mad."
A smile appeared on my face, "Get up. I have something to tell you."
"What is it? Are you having second thoughts about our picnic today?"
"No, it's not that. I'm actually really nervous to tell you."
"Is it something bad?"
I shook my head.
"Is it good?"
I nodded.
"CeCe spit it out. I'm dying over here."
"Okay." I said taking a deep breath.
"Gunther." I said putting my hands on his face. "Did you know that you're the best thing that ever happened to me? You are sweet, charming, cute and smart. And you always know the right things to say to me. Yea sure we got off at the wrong foot in the beginning. But now, we managed to turned that all around and become an item. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I love you."
Gunther stared at me in surprise, "Wow, I don't know what say. I love you too CeCe. I really do." He said chuckling. "I'm actually relieved to hear those words come out of your mouth. Thank you."
"What do you mean thank you?" I asked confusedly.
"Thanking you for loving me the same way I love you CeCe. You're the best thing I could've asked for."
"I was thinking the same thing too." I said.
"Good." He said kissing me on the lips. I claimed on top of him beginning to take off his shirt. "What are we doing CeCe?"
"We're losing our virginity's to each other." I replied taking off my nighty.
"Are you sure about this?"
"Don't be silly Gunther, of course I'm sure. We talked about this before."
"And we will continue to talk about this into you're sure. I just don't want you to regret it later."
I giggled, "Baby, with you, I could never regret anything." I said bitten on his bottom lip sexually."
"Mm, you know what you're doing." He moaned out.
"Shut up and kiss me." I told him.
"With pleasure." He turned us around so that he was laying on top of me.
"MMM!" I moaned out while he left trails of kisses on my neck.
Knock, knock!
"Oh come on!" I shouted. "Who is it?!"
"Your highness, it's David!" He answers.
"Come in David!" I said coving myself up with the blanket.
"Your highness, I think you both need to come downstairs." David said.
"Why?" Gunther asked.
"He's pressing charges on me?" Gunther asked his lawyer.
"You did hit him first Gunther." Mr. Gardner said.
"Only because he had his hands on my fiancée, what else was I supposed to do?!" Gunther shouted.
"We can take this to court and settle it that way. I know you were only trying to protect the princess. If you don't show up people are going to question you as their king."
Gunther sighed, "I don't have the time for something like this. I have so much to do this month."
"I know. Just think about it okay." He said.
Gunther nodded, "Thanks for coming Mr. Gardner.
"No problem, I'm just looking out for the best interest for my favorite client." He said patting me on the back before leaving.
"That sun of a bitch!" Gunther yelled banging his fist against the wall.
"What's wrong Gunther?" I asked.
"Gale pressed charges on me and now I have to attend court." He explained.
"What a jerk! How dare he do something like this to you? He supposed to be your best friend."
"He was supposed to be, not anymore." He said walking upstairs.
"Do you need me to do anything?"
"I need you to sit back and let me handle this on my own."
"Gunther, I'm a part of this. You can't just keep me from helping you."
He glared at me, "Watch me." he said walking inside his room closing the door behind him.
"I don't understand how one perfect moment can turn into a disaster." I said speaking to Rocky and Tinka.
"It must be really hard on him." Rocky said.
"I know. Gunther and Gale were like brothers." Tinka added.
"Tinka, do you know why Gale did what he did?" I asked.
"Isn't it obvious?" Tinka asked.
"Is what obvious Tinka?" Rocky replied. "He's pressing charges on his so call best friend. There has to be a reason why he doing all of this?"
"He wants CeCe." Tinka admitted.
"I know that Tinka. I just don't understand why he would take it this far. It's not like I'm going to run into his arms." I explained.
"He knows that, you know that and as a matter of fact, we all know that. That's still not going to stop him from doing what he wants to do. Gale could be quite the pest if you ask me." Tinka explained.
"He has a lot in common with Gunther. I could see why he would be interested in the same girl as Gunther also." Rocky said.
"Rocky, how do you know that?" I asked.
"Yes, how do you know that?" Tinka added.
"I've been paying attention him closely. I like to know who I'm surrounded by and Gale is definitely a lot like Gunther." Rocky replied.
"Except Gunther wasn't a womanizer. He never really had a girlfriend before CeCe." Tinka said.
"It's only logical that he would do something like this." I told them. "He wants something he can't have and now he wants to ruin his best friend." I told them stand up.
"Where are you going?" Rocky asked.
"She's going on a picnic at my grandmama house back at the farm." Tinka answered for me.
"Yup, I will see you guys later." I said waving to them goodbye.
"Cecelia, would you like some chicken? I cut the chicken head off myself." Gunther Grandma asked.
"Yes, thank you grandma Hessenheffer." I said.
"Call me grandmama." She said.
"Well grandmama, this is some very good seasoned chicken." I told her.
"Mama makes the best chicken in Sweden." Mr. Hessenheffer said.
"I could see why." I said crewing on my food. "Gunther, every time you visit your grandmother, you have to being me back some of this chicken." I told him.
"Mhm." Gunther replied.
"Son, what's wrong? You haven't said much since we got here." Mrs. Hessenheffer asked.
"I'm a little under the weather today mama." Gunther replied.
"Grandson, would like me to make my famous goat soup?" His grand asked.
"No grandmama, I'm fine eating what I got here." He replied.
"Gunther, may I talk to you in private please?" Gunther father asked.
"Yes papa." Gunther replied following his father inside the house.
"CeCe, now that the men are gone, let's get down to business. Are you fertile?" Grandmama asked.
I glanced over at Mrs. Hessenheffer, "I guess." I replied awkwardly
"Don't be shy CeCe. She asked me the same question when I married Gunther and Tinka father." Mrs. Hessenheffer insures.
"How many children do you want?" Grandmama asked me.
"Maybe three, I'm an only child so I always dreamed of having a big family of my own." I explained.
"Wonderful!" she shouts giving me a hug. "You would make me some beautiful great grand-children."
"I told her the same exact thing." Mrs. Hessenheffer said.
When Gunther came back outside with his father he had that look on his face like everything starting to crash down on him. I wish I could do something about it. After all, I am his fiancée and the love of his life.
"Gunther would you like to go for a walk with me?" I asked him.
"Sure, why not." He replies moving forward.
"We will be right back soon." I told his parents.
"No worries. Take all the time you need." Mr. Hessenheffer said.
Gunther and I headed over to the barn where he and Tinka used to hang out at. It was very peaceful here and the barn smell wasn't really that bad.
"Gunther why are you doing this to me?"
"Doing what to you CeCe?"
"Giving me the silent treatment. I hate it when you're like this. It bothers me a lot."
"What you expect CeCe?! My best friend declared war with me over a girl!" he yelled. "Wait, that didn't come out right. I'm sorry CeCe."
"You know what? Fuck you!" I shouted with tears in my eyes. I walk outside the barn leaving Gunther by himself.
"CeCe, please wait!" he shouted chasing after me. "I apologize okay. I didn't mean to say what I said."
"Of course you didn't Gunther. You never do. Just like it's not your fought that this happen."
"What are you saying CeCe?"
"I'm saying that it is your fought Gunther! If you would've never hit him in the first place then you wouldn't be in this position."
"You are right. Next time I'll let him take you away and do bad things to you. That's what you want, right?"
"Why would anybody want that dumbass? Your friend is obviously a bad person and a jerk. I don't even know how you continue to stay friends with somebody like that.
"Because!"
"Because what Gunther?! What's your excuse now?"
"Because he was the only one there for me when I got caught in a fire."
"What fire?"
"It was at Lucas old house. It caught on fire and everybody got out except me. Gale was the only one brave enough to come save me. Ever since then, we've became closer, resolving to us becoming best friends. Then Gale started to get jealous once he found out I might actually be the next king of Sweden. He didn't believe it at first into you arrived. He thought I would never get my family crown back. I had to prove him wrong CeCe, which I did."
"So I'm a game to you?"
"No you're not a game. At first it was a little bumpy between us and now I'm glad we're together. I love you so much and Gale knows that. Only problem is, he wants something of mine that he can't have."
"Which leaded to me?"
"Exactly, I'm mad because I can't be mad at anybody but myself CeCe. I should've stepped my grounds weeks ago."
"It's okay Gunther. it wasn't entirely your fought. If it wasn't for you punching that dog in the face, I probably wouldn't be here right now."
"Trust me CeCe; he wouldn't have got that far. You're the most protected person in Sweden right now."
"You may be right.
"I know I'm right." He smirked.
"Come here." I said bitten my lip.
"Okay, what are we doing?" he asked standing in front of me.
"I love you. Make love to me please."
"Right here right now? CeCe where in –"
"The middle of nowhere. I know." I said finishing up his sentence.
"You sure you want to do it right here?"
"I'm sure." I said kissing him hard on the lips.
He picks me up wrapping his legs around my waist laying us down on the grass. Finally, it happens. We made love for the very first time without any interruptions.
Later on that evening, Gunther and I were back to normal. The girls kept smothering me most of the night and I was getting tired of them.
"What do you want now Rocky?" I asked.
"Why do you seem so happy all of a sudden? What gives?" she asked.
"I'm not telling you." I replied with a smile.
"Oh god, did you and my brother you know?" Tinka asked trailing off.
"Yes we did and it was fantastic." I grinned.
"Welcome to womanhood CeCe." Rocky said.
"Losing your virginity to someone doesn't make you a woman Rocky. Puberty does." Tinka explained.
"What does it matter you guys. It happened. Now I'm the most satisfied female in Sweden."
"I wouldn't say that." Rocky chuckled.
"Shut it Rocky." I said throwing a pillow at her head.
"Your highness, I have some bad news." Aina said.
"What is it Aina?" I asked standing up.
"Your father was rushed to the hospital." She replied.
"Is –is he alright?" I asked.
"I'm afraid not. Your mother is at the hospital waiting for you." she explained.
"Okay, I'm on my way!" I said running outside my room.
"CeCe, wait for us!" Tinka shouted.
