Chapter 10 - 10. Prince and his Knight.... (2/2)

She stood up and took a deep breath to calm her chaotic heart and when she opened her eyes once again, they had gained their usual calm.

She caressed his hairs for one last time and gave him a simple peck on the forehead: ”Goodnight, my prince.”

.....

She switched off the lights and only put on the table-side lamp at it's dimmest.

He was a bit claustrophobic, like she was.

She took one last look at him and turned back to go out of the room and closed the door lightly, she didn't turn back, not even once.

....

She didn't notice it....

She didn't know that just when she turned back, he had opened his eyes.

His eyes kept following her back until she closed the door....a wild inhibition shone through them, even in this darkness they were like gems, carrying a whole lot of stars in them but..... they were a bit cold.

When she left the room, he let out a deep breath.

His usual icy eyes had a storm raising inside them.

Since he had felt her leaning towards him, he had clenched his fist so hard that the knuckles were turning white.

He knew no- he desired her to have done something.

”Meilin, why are you being so stubborn ba”, he mumbled and roughly glided his hands through his hairs, the lingering warmth of her fingers were still there.

He was actually a bad drunk because he knew, the more he drank the more sober and calmer he got plus the wild nature he hides, comes to surface and he had always put on a facade for her.

Today when he was asked to drink, he did so because he knew that she won't send him back in that state, that she won't leave him alone when he acted a bit clingy, acted like he needed her for security.

'hah'..he sighed deeply.

His eyes had turned slightly misty and his cheeks were flushed due to the alcohol, it was a godsend natural disposition after he drinks, to her it was cute but, right now, it was far from that, scratch that, the genre was different altogether!!

Right now, with his slightly messed up hair, it gave him even more of a seductive and wild vibe, of course, that was without the eye filter of Meilin, who always thought of him as an innocent and clingy young man.[...wuwu...Meilin's motherly instincts are giving me a hard time....]

He just needed to be given an inch and he knew that he would take more than just a mile, he....he just needed her to accept her own feelings.

If she took even half a step closer to him, he will bind her to him forever!

He knew that, in their case, she should be the first one to take a step because the wall she had put and that stubborn nature of her would always be an obstacle, he wanted to take her even if he had to use force but he knew he had to wait or she would leave him....again.

A cold glint passed through his eyes.

”Don't ever think of leaving me alone.....even if I have to chain you and put you inside a cage, nothing would stop me.”....he let out a deep sigh and went for a cold shower to get his brain in right state.

It was already a mess that 'Love' required two people to be 'complete'....now that LOVE had a different shade for each one of them, can their love become 'not unrequited'....
