Chapter 12 (Turns)

He kissed me.

One of his hand cupped my cheek while the other hand was on my waist. He attempted to pull me closer than I already was. His kiss was soft and gentle, it's like he wanted to take his own time. It was neverending. We pull back to suck in air and he stares at me. I couldn't look him in the eye, instead I blushed like there was no tomorrow and looked at the side.

He puts his hand on my chin and lifts my head so I'm in direct eye contact with him. He examines each of my features very carefully. And I examine his, he has the most stunning light brown eyes i have ever seen. His messy blond hair just makes me want to mess with it a little bit more. And of course, his dimples which I just can't seem to get enough of.

We stare at each other for a few more seconds before he says something.

"Well, that was nice." He says softly. What a tease!

"I mean it was not bad but it was not that good either," I smirk. He pouts his lips and I can't help but laugh.

"You know it was good." He smirks and I blush. I hate it when he intimidates me!

"Whatever..." I whisper looking down at my shoe.

"So I guess we have some things to talk about don't we?" He says it lightly but this is when reality hits me.

I kissed Prince Reece! I have been lying to him and now I have made a mess. He doesn't even know who I really am! And not to forget to mention all the crazy facts that I learned in the previous week! How the hell do I get out of this one? Should I tell him the truth? Will he believe me?

"Sara?" He asks and disturbs my train of thought. I wish he could call me my real name.

"Yea? So..." Awkward.

"So I think it is obvious that I like you more than a friend. what about you? You did say that I was no friend of yours..." He sounds a little down. There is no point in hiding this truth at least if not the whole truth.

"I like you," I tell him. this time I look at him straight in the eyes.

"But don't you dare get hurt. Ever. Promise me." He smiles with all his teeth shown and simply nods.

"I think we should go, everyone is looking for you." I simply smile at him.

"Ladies first." He bows and points at the direction of the cave. I snicker before heading inside. Let's just say ever since our talk, the last few days have been quite eventful. There was even one time where he was roaming the palace and was walking on the other end of the corridor while I was walking behind some maids. At our meeting point, he held my hand and turned me around.

He winked and I gave a 'What the hell are you doing look' but he just kissed me and went after a few seconds. God. This is going to be fun and torturous at the same time!

The general was not seen in the last few days. It makes me very cautious that a mass murderer lives in the palace. I just don't want him to hurt Reece that's all and of course, I don't want him to find out who I am really.

I've also debated within myself whether or not I should tell the truth about my identity to Prince Reece but there are pros and cons to this. Pros, I don't need to lie to him anymore and he can even help me out. Cons, He does not forgive me and never talks to me again or his life could be in danger because of me.

I can deal with the rest except for his life being in danger. I couldn't tell him right now until I figure out the missing pieces of the puzzle.

I have to find out if eve was telling the truth. Believing in something and knowing that its true are two different things. Does she even know its the general? Even I couldn't recognize him at first glance.

I walk to my bedroom because I was so exhausted. If you told me about a month ago that I would be cleaning... I would have laughed at your face. Life is unpredictable sometimes. I step inside my bedroom and see Reece standing there with a rose in his hands.

I quickly close the door and whisper scream at him incase others from the corridors could hear us.

"What are you doing here?" He just comes closer and was just a meter apart.

"I am here to give my lady a little housewarming present" He smirks.

"You should be careful! What if someone sees us-" I was cut off by a surprise kiss. It was rougher then our first one as if he couldn't wait anymore. After a few minutes, we stopped to catch our breaths.

"Well aren't you the romantic," I whisper to him while looking down at my shoe and blushing so hard.

"Stop that before I kiss you again." This time he sounded dead serious.

"Stop what?" He chuckles.

"Your blushing! It is too damn cute!" He exclaims.

I blush even more and this makes him kiss me all over again. This kiss was deep and I enjoyed it thoroughly. As I was kissing him a sudden knock came in the door. We both stop what we're doing and stare at each other with shocking expressions.

"What the hell! Who could that be??!" Reece whisper shouts and frantically looks around.

"H-Hide under the bed!" I quickly say. He hides under the bed and another knock is heard.

"Do you mind if I come in Miss Sara?" That's Noe's voice! If we are caught we will never see each other again! Hopefully, he is well hidden.

"Sure come in." The doorknob slowly turns.
