Chapter 4

"I know my reasons baby munchkin. We both knew from the start that I wanted to flirt with you. But I feel like you don't want to. So when I found out what Cassandra was doing. I simply talked to her not to touch you. because she'll be going to face me why did you say yes even though you're afraid of what Cassandra might do? Is it forced answer or did you really mean it?" There was a mischievous smile on his lips.

My cheeks warmed and I averted my gaze. I hurried into the room without letting him know.

Urgh!

why do I always just run to him? Then why am I um-yes? Is that just forced? Or maybe I like it too. I like him?

It can't be!

Or maybe I can also try somehow?

Let's see.

“Last week, I already assigned a team leader for the upcoming “The Palace Tour” to be held this saturday. This project's vision was to let the students know the history of the great Philip Emmerson III and how he handled the Filifian Kingdom before. this is only once in a lifetime so make the most of it and write down the important details. We are lucky and we are with the universities that will have a free tour inside their old palace.

"Do they still have a king Sir?" One of my classmates asked a very frustrating question.

"Definitely yes! And the next king Prince Luhence Dwight Emmerson is about to sit down,"

The girls in the classroom were amazed when they heard the name of the said Prince.

"Name just looks handsome Sir.do we have the chance to meet him close up Sir?!"

"Ahm... Unfortunately, it's a no. It's too risky for him to appear in public so he can avoid people as much as possible. He's the next king so probably his life was in danger every time." Our teacher said to us.

"Miss Ashton. Please guide your group when you're inside,"

What is this? Fieldtrip?

"Yes sir,"

he dismissed the class as he could explain that everything should be done on our tour a.k.a project as well. That's a lot but I remember.

"What did you and Luke talk about?" Lily asked to me

My cheeks warmed up again, "I think....I want something from him,"

"Not new, everyone is in love with that man but what about Cassandra? She's definitely getting worse and worse," Lilly Said to me.

"Luke is supposed to take care of her. He said," I replied to her.

"Make sure because if not. I can taste your boyfriend's nape,"

my cheeks blushed at what she called to Luke.

"Hey! What!? He's not my boyfriend. Maybe someone can hear you," I scolded.

Sge would have even spoken when a black car approached us. I was amazed to know who was inside.

"Hey baby munckin! Get in i'll drive you home with your friend." Luke said while smiling to us.

Lily and I looked at each other and shook her, "Not anymore. So we can go home ---,"

"Common. Baby! What's the use of this car if I can drive my munchkin home?"

We did nothing and just got in his car. we were quiet until we reached our houses. I would have gone down if he had stopped me.

"Can we talk?" There was a small smile on his face

"I'll go first Vy," Lily said goodbye to us.

A few seconds passed before Luke spoke.

"Do you trust me Vy?" Luke asked to me.

"H-huh? why are you asking me like that?"

"I want to date you tonight that's why I'm asking you if you trust me," Luke said to me.

"What does my trust have to do with our release?" I asked him too.

"Because there's so many things I want to taught you. extraordinary things I assumed you never experience, " there was a mischievous smile on his lips.

I frowned and shook my head, "Whatever it is. Don't worry Luke. I'm going home..."

"Common munchkin! Just answer it," Luke asked me again.

"Okay! Yeah! I trust you but in the tone of your voice, it looks like you're going to do something silly, "

"Whatever you were thinking. It's not what I meant us to do. You baby green munchkin,"

"Baby green munchkin? I'm not green no!" I looked away.

"Yes you are my munchkin. So! let's go? This will be fun!"

I looked at our house not far from where he parked the car.

"B-but .... Mama and Papa will worry about me. I don't want them to be angry with me because I'm going to do this," I turned to look at him.

he shrugged, "I see. An obidient daughter. they'll be mad only if you tell them, "

"What do you want to imply? That I lie to them?"

"Yes but in a good way. Look my munchkin. You're already an adult. You decided what you want without their consent everytime. You have your own mind and this thing, is up to you not to them. I promise you that you will not perish. You trust me right? I won’t break that, ” Luke said.

I bit my lip and nodded at him. He smiled and started the car. I just close my eyes while thinking of what I can say to them.

(Ma? I'm going home late today.I'm just going to finish a project at my classmate's house)

I'm sorry Mama...

God Please don't curse me for doing this. I have never been able to lie to them. Even now. My eyes turned to my cellphone when it rang.

(All right princess.will you just be careful there? We will wait for you princess)

***

He stopped the car and we both got out. We were exposed to expensive cars parked on the side with their owners having a good time drinking. They were obviously drunk because the others were staggering. I hugged myself. Am I doing it right?

I know these people. They are Luke's friends who are capable of life and seem to be the most guarded saints at school. They are also dangerous and aggressive. I feel like I'm not safe. I suddenly felt Luke hug me.

"You okay munchkin? You look pale. Don't worry about these jerks. They won't hurt you," he smiled.

I calmed myself down. I just nodded and smiled. I seem to have run out of words. we were approached by one of Luke's friends whose name as far as I know was Steve.

"Yow! I see you. You got what you wanted again," he shook his head.

"Of course. I really get what I want. Don't ever try to touch her. She's mine," Luke said to them.

I felt a little thrill at his jealousy. I smiled at Steve and introduced myself. It looks like he won't do anything bad.

“Elvira Ashton,” I introduce myself to him.

"Yeah. I know you so well Vy. You don't have to introduce yourself. Well, Steve Mercez,"

"I know you,"

"Really? How?"

"Everyone knows you and Luke," I repliednti him.

He laughed softly, "Yeah. I know. By the way, I'll leave you two. Got some chicks to entertain there," he said goodbye.

"Good riddance,"

Luke pulled me into the dark forest. it was late at night and it was dark so I couldn't see much of what I was walking on but Luke seemed to have memorized the road very well because we expertly turned and walked. I would have complained when we reached a waterfall.

"Wow," I gasped

This place is like a paradise. the water seemed to glow because of the moonlight. The water is very blue and the surroundings are full of many kinds of flowers. Suddenly my eye caught a large sign that read 'Private Property'

"Luke? There's private property written over therewe may be charged if anyone sees us here, "

"Don't mind it. There's no one in this falls so we can do all we want. Come here munchkin,"

I sighed when he suddenly pulled me and hugged me. I didn't notice that she took off her top earlier. our bodies stick together causing me to feel a strange wilderness.

He smiled fondly at me and placed a few strands of my hair that had fallen out behind my ear.

"You look so damn beautiful Vy. So beautiful like the falls," he whispered to me.

I swallowed when I felt his lips on my neck, "L-Luke ... W-what are you doing?" But he did not answer

I grabbed his shoulder tightly and tried to move his body away from me but he was stronger.

"Damn, Vy, don't push me away. You taste so damn good,"

"L-Luke.... maybe someone will see us please stop... "

He continued what he was doing when his cellphone suddenly rang. He was weakly depreciated and quickly picked up his phone.

"I'll just gonna take this. Wait here, munchkin, okay," Luke said to me.

"Luke! D-Don't leave me here," I stopped but he didn't listen

I just hugged myself when I felt the cold breeze. For some reason I felt the presence of people around. God! Is there a ghost here?

"L-Luke? Is that you? Don't scare me please," I shouted

I was so bitten by the chirping of the cricket that only the cricket answered me. I shook my head and sat on the rock near the little water coming from above. I stared at my own image registering in the water. I smiled as if my blue eyes shone in the water.

"Where did I get this?" I whispered to myself.

"Maybe from your parents? I guess so,"

I was stunned and pushed back when someone suddenly spoke behind me. My eyes widened as I stared intently at the bulk of a massive man in front of me. there is no light here and only the moon gives me a way to see the road as well as him.

"Don't hurt me. Please! Are you the owner of this falls? I apologize because we entered this place. Please. Don't hurt me or imprison me," I said quickly.

"Yeah. I should lock you up for entering my property but your safety is more important. One move and you'll fall into the water behind you and trust me, lady, you don't want that to happen,"

He said it slowly but his voice was very manly. I couldn't see his face but I was immediately reassured that he wouldn't hurt me. He approached me and held out his hand. Because I was stuck in my seat I didn't get his hand right away so I was shocked when he pulled me upright.

my face sank into his massive chest.

"A lady like you shouldn't be in a place like this alone. What if I'm a bad person? Maybe you're doomed?" He whispered softly.

There is something strange in his voice that I can't understand. if his voice was a song, that’s probably the best song I’ve ever heard. I felt him touch both my shoulders and present me to him. I stared into his blue eyes like stars in the sky when the moonlight hit them.

half of his face is covered and I can only see his eyes and hair.

"What shampoo do you use? Your hair is beautiful," I asked in amazement.

I forgot that he was a stranger because I was curious about his hair. Thick chestnut brown hair. I turned to look at his eyes when he laughed.

"With everything you ask. Still my hair? Yeah, I'm gorgeous that's why,"

I pushed him away from me. The lightness I feel for him. It's like I've known him for a long time. Her eyes had a strange twinkle.

"You had a beautiful pair of blue eyes. Your parents' race looks good,"

I ignored what he said and asked again, "Why are you wearing a mask?"

He seemed stunned but he also quickly turned to me.

"Because I'm too handsome and that's dangerous! maybe someone will seduce me here," he replied jokingly to me.

My lips parted and I frowned, "Isn't that your wind?" I suddenly laughed when he suddenly covered his forehead as if his problem was too big.

"By the way, lady, what are you doing here? i know my waterfall was secured but it's still dangerous. You could be shot by my snipers this time. It's good that I'm here, "

"S-sniper? Do you have a sniper?" I can't believe what he say.

he shrugged, "I would like to talk to you but I have to go lady blue. if you want, come with me, I have my little house there. It's too late and you might get hurt, "

I shook my head and hugged myself, "I have someone with me. He just accepted a call. Thank you. Even if you scared me," I laughed.

“Always welcome lady blue I won't never forget your eyes. It looks like an ocean. Beautiful and wonderful, "

My jaw dropped when I saw a horse in the distance. He was an expert at climbing and sitting on the horse.

"I hope to see you again. Bye lady blue,"

He bowed before running the horse away. I felt sadness as I watched his body move away.

"He was nice to talk to even though we just met," I smiled

Hope we meet again ....

Wait?

What is his name?

To be continued....
