I lay my bed that night thinking that my father thought that I was in love with Merlin, which was outrageous, shocking, unbelievable and dreadful. Is it true? I asked myself. I had never thought of Merlin in that way. Was the only reason I helped him today because I loved him? These questions ran through my head all night.
The next morning I realised that I hadn't bought any bread, so I headed down to the baker and to my surprise Merlin was there.
"Hi Jessica,"
"Hi," I said in a shy tone.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing" I answered. "I just forgot to buy bread yesterday."
"Was that because of me?"
"No. Not at all. Well bye" I said.
Merlin looked at me, his eyes were requesting me to stay. I could not bear to look into eyes anymore, I just grabbed the bread and left.
I got home I placed the bread on the table and went into my room. As I lay on my bed and closed my eyes and all I could do was think of Merlin, his deep blue eyes, his perfect smile and his adorable fringe. Why was I thinking like this? Was I really falling in love with him? Tears started falling down my cheeks. There was a knock on my door.
"It's Merlin"
My voice trembled as I spoke, "come in."
"I don't know if it's my place to ask or not but you seemed a little upset earlier." He questioned.
"My father came up with this weird" my voice started to tremble even more "idea that you were the reason that I didn't want to marry Arthur."
"Is it true?" he asked.
I thought for a moment "I... I... don't know."
Merlin was totally shocked at my answer "I must go." He said as he walked out of the room.
I knew that he needed time alone and think things through, as did I.
