Possibility of love

Maturity

What now ?

We were just starring at each other ..

Father would soon barge in, ranting about my duty and..the King our cousin demanding my presence, God knows for what.

- "Luke !", cried my father

- "Yes father ?, still looking at my dove, she stole my heart and I can't really admit it to her..not sure how to express what is in my heart

***********************

Is Luke going to leave me ? But he came back..that should mean something ..

He gives me butterfly ..and my femininity can not be indifferent to him..neither my heart..nor my soul.

- " Stay with me " , I whisper, " Don't go ... "

The moment I said it, I regretted it..Will I start now..Will I make him choose ..now knowing quite well the King has asked for him?

His eyed soften and I felt him struggle to please me but then he had to go, this much I knew..this is childish of me.

- " Luke forgive me ", not wanting to break our new found..not sure what but something significant had happened between us," I will go home " , as I pull gracefully away from his embrace, " Go with your father, shall we talk when you come back ? "

*******************

I felt cold when she untangled herself from my arms. I felt empty ..
Yet I was thankful for her discernment ; I had to go with father, I didn't love her less...in the contrary I had a deep affectation for her

- "For God sake , Luke ! , said father his tone impatient, surprise he didn't just come, instead..
- Humhum, Lord Luke, if I may.., said the butler..

A bit of propriety..at least.

- Yes I know , I said in a deep voice my focused still on her , I'm coming.

She lowered her eyes slowly putting her gloves. I watched her . She understood but she wanted to stay with me.
Heat rosed on my face as I realize she might have sentiment for me..not interest for my future or tittle but me. Dare I say I wasn't really sure, would you believe me ?

Yes you would because love is shy, money has no shame, tittle is rich in arrogance.

- " Laure wait for me tonight"
