It's hard to sleep when you live with a guy and it's even harder when he is as handsome as Lucien. I wake up every morning first to see his face something is calming to watch him sleep. I don't have to worry about being caught looking at him too much or ignoring him purposefully just so I can deflate his ego.
Is this love? I don't know. It could be something close or even love if I allowed it to nurture but I won't. I will put it out while it is still a small flame rather than being caught up in a wildfire. My feelings for Lucien is similar to the wind it is there we can feel it but I can not point it out and it was dangerous to both of us. I don't think Igor is the type to forgive his son for loving the enemy.
If I let Lucien too close he will sniff out my plans for Igor. I won't allow the feelings to grow neither his nor mine. I will quash it with my foot. I didn't have a plan but I know what should be done. I should reunite Lucien with Arya. So Lucien leaves me alone. It is a tough thing to do considering my heart has to get over Lucien first. I don't think I ever will but I have to try. I know one person who will help me with no questions asked.
I looked at him unabashedly the soft wind was caressing his smooth hair. It was silky and soft like a baby's hair. I have a tangled web in the name of hair while he has long and beautiful hair. Normally I would rush my bath but by that time Lucien would be turning in the sleep but today he is in deep sleep. I could hear his faint snore which I think is cute.
I went to the washroom took a shower and wore my towel. I normally change in my bathroom but today I decided against it. I will change in the room after all Lucien was sleeping.
When I was done I checked again and he was in deep sleep. I tiptoed into the room and changed myself and marched to my training. Generally, I don't have to be this early but I like to be alone for a while. I practice everything I learned yesterday and try to practice things I learned from others. I have a habit of watching others train and trying to copy things. The other day I saw a lycan fighting using a long stick. The others laughed but soon learned that it was hard to beat him while he was handling the stick. I decided to try that but the stick wasn't cooperating with me.
"You are doing it wrong", I heard a voice behind me.
" I wish you would stop creeping on the people and I didn't ask for your help", I sighed.
"Stubborn girl", he murmured and came up behind me. I stood very still allowing him to take the stick from me.
He held the stick vertically and whispered in my ear, " the stick is too long compared to your height so you must break it so it will come down to your size and you can yield it easily.
I faintly remembered that the guy who was practising it was taller than me. He looked fresh and smelled too good. I was having trouble gathering my thoughts.
"Thanks ", I said and pushed past him. But he held my hands forcing me to stay rooted in my spot.
" You looked very beautiful today", he said. I nervously tugged at my dress which was an old one and I was sure my face was dirty. He seemed to know my thoughts.
"I was talking about the earlier part of today", he said his eyes full of mischief. But he hasn't seen me early he was sleeping. Suddenly wheels turned in my head and my face became hot. I can't believe him. He pulled his act so cunningly I fell for it. I should be hit with this stick. No wonder I wasn't that good with my brain. But I knew not to take any risks, especially where he was concerned. There were fifty chances that he would awake but I still did that anyway.
" I'm glad I made your morning but rest assured I hope you treasure it because you are not going to see it again", I told a few tears escaping my eyes.
That tears did it Lucien held me close and murmured to my hair, "I'm sorry for hurting you. But you always look at me for several minutes in the morning. So I thought of not embarrassing you. But then you went ahead and changed before me. I'm no saint. I looked at you because you are mine", he said.
" I'm not yours ", I bit out tearfully. He held up his hands defensively.
" Alright, you can punish me for that. I don't care about the punishment as long as you forgive me.
"I will forgive you for one thing", I said. He looked at me expectantly.
" I want you to do something for me with no questions asked", I said. He nodded his head.
"I want you to take Arya out of the palace and spend half an hour with her", I told him. He looked suspiciously at me but I didn't budge. He even said it won't look good on Igor. But I was adamant about it.
" Alright, you win, I don't know if she will come with me", he said doubtfully.
"She will come", I assured him.
" I hope I could understand one day what goes on your pretty head", he said shaking his head.
"I will tell you then I will have to kill you", I told him playfully.
" I think you are in the very danger of losing your mind ", said Lucien.
I shrugged my shoulders and pointed at the people who were coming to the practice field. I was thankful for this disturbance or I will lose my mind like I lost my heart
