|CHAPTER 3 |

After what happened with Theon, Roslyn went to her room, feeling weird. Once she was at her there, she started to sob. Her expectations about Robb had vanished. Everything that Theon said, made her feel anguish. She wiped her tears and then she took her dress off. She felt so foolish. She put on her nightgown. She blew out the candles and she lay down on her bed. Theon's voice was haunting her mind. She analyzed every word... Every word that he said was true, but she didn't want to admit it. Roslyn had crashed into reality, even that reality was not what she wanted. Then her thoughts led her to the moment when Theon kissed her. She blushed. She pictured that moment over and over again. The taste of his lips, their warm bodies. "Why he did it?" she thought. She needed to know why he kissed her, the reason he did it.

The following day, she promised herself that she would avoid Theon Greyjoy. She was not so sure about it, but she didn't know what to say to him. She thought about Robb too. She had kissed him too, and she did not want to change their friendship because of a kiss. But that thoughts went away when Robb talked to her in the breakfast, and he showed to her that everything was fine between them. Even so, he noticed that she was a little bit distracted. That was true, her mind was somewhere else but there and that was because of Theon. His presence made her feel weird. She wanted to get up and leave, but she couldn't.

It was the first time that Roslyn did not look after the boys. She decided to go with Sansa, Arya and the other girls doing what the young ladies used to, like sew. However, Roslyn didn't stayed there as long as she planned, it wasn't her thing. So she decided to go for a walk to Godswood. While she was heading there, she noticed that Robb, Jon and Theon were practicing their archery. She took a deep breath and continued her path. Robb realized that she was there, so he went to talk to her.

"I'll be right back" he said as he left his bow on the floor. Theon noticed that he was heading to talk to Roslyn. Jon noticed too but he chose to say nothing about it. "Hey, Roslyn" Robb called her.

"Oh, hello Robb" she tried to smile.

"Mmm... Are you okay? I noticed that you have been acting strange today. You did not come with us neither" he asked.

"So-sorry... My mind is somewhere else today, I am sorry".

"Are you mad with me?"

"No! I am not mad at you" she smiled sincerely.

"Are you sure?"

"I am not mad with you, Robb"

"Will you come with us?"

"Excuse me, but I am going to the Godswood".

"Good. Well, see you soon" he smiled at her and both left. Robb came back with the boys.

"What is wrong with her?" Jon Snow asked.

"Nothing, she said that her mind was somewhere else" Robb answered.

"Perhaps she is having feminine problems" Theon smirked.

"She will be fine" Jon said. Robb nodded and the boys continued their practice.

A few minutes later, Theon left the boys, he needed to talk to Roslyn. She was alone in the Godswood, so it was the perfect moment. He got into the woods. He find the young woman sitting at the bottom of a random tree. She had something between her fingers. He came closer to her.

"Roslyn" he called her name. She looked up. He sat next to her. Roslyn was playing with her mother's necklace. She knew that Theo would not be the first to talk, so she had to say something.

"What was it last night? Why you did it?" she stared at him, waiting for an answer, an honest answer.

"You were about to sl..."

"No, it wasn't for that" she interrupted. "Be honest, please" she followed his gaze. Theon knew that he had to tell the truth.

"I like you, Roslyn" they did not believe that Theon said those words.

"Do not play with me, Greyjoy" she knew him, what he was like. "I'm not going to fall at your feet, so you can bed me" she dared to say. "I am not like those women from the whorehouse. Why you don't go there? You like to go to the brothel. I am sure that any woman would like to please- "he took her by the neck and he kissed at her. He wanted to let her know that she was the only one who matters. Once more, Roslyn didn't want to break the kiss. She liked the way his lips taste.

"I do not care about it... You are the one I care" It seemed that Theon wasn't the man that he used to be, it was like he was someone else.

"Why me?"

"Because you are different from the rest, you are unique... I do not know how to explain it. Besides you are so gorgeous" he caressed her cheek. "Very gorgeous" he added as she smiled at him. "I know that you are the only one here who gets me, we are not from here but we are here" it was hard for her to admit it.

"Please, do not remind me what you said last night" she pointed. "I am so confused about that".

"What I've told, it's true".

"Yes" she looked down. "What happens next? You know what I mean".

"So do you like me?" Theon smirked.

"I do not know".

"I know you do".

"Think what you want"

"It would happend what it has to happen" he truly answer.
