Fallacy between us
He stops his movements. I look at him staring at me with eyebrows crashed together.
"What happened?" I move my hips to gain some friction and ask him. He yanks my hand from his face, pulling out of me and wearing his clothes back. What the hell?
"What are you—"
"Just think about your words again, Ravine. You're not being yourself. I'll be in the garden if you thought through yourself." Saying, he takes off the condom and throws it in the dustbin. Well, it was used and thrown away.
I blink at the door he slams behind himself.
What did I even do?
Why's he mad at me?
Is asking for sex and wanting to moan aloud a bad thing now? Since when did he start to think it's an issue to let everyone know we're having sex?
An unreasonable amount of anger flows in me as I tuck myself to bed and sleep.
Curse him. He doesn't know what I've been through with this tough family of royals. They're all stuck up, even more so than I can ever be.
At midnight, I wake up feeling dizzy with hunger. I realised I skipped dinner and no one was sent to call me for it. Not even my cousins.
One great family I have.
However, I wake up and look around to find Aaron hugging a pillow to his chest and sleeping on the couch with barely anything covering his body. He's even shirtless.
"Idiot." Muttering, I cover him with a comforter I had on myself and wear a pair of pajamas. I walk down the hallways, trying to find the kitchen. A few guards were stationed against the pillars. They bow at me as I pass, I bow back in courtesy.
"Finally. I hope there's food." I admit I was like a modern princess myself. I refuse to pain the helpers in the middle of the night to get me something to my room to eat.
Searching through, I go to the table to sit but I find Gerrard and my cousin Miranda on the table. She was crying over something and he held her hand.
I wasn't the best at eavesdropping, but I hear Gerrard comfort her the best way possible.
I think... she's pregnant.
Miranda was 28 years old and the closest to my heir list. If I wasn't back, then she would have become the queen instead of me.
Which I would actually agree upon.
But you see, Miranda isn't the best at being diplomatic. She's very frank and lacks the possession of safe lying. She's also very timid and kind hearted. The other kingdoms will exploit the hell out of her kindness.
Hence, I couldn't risk my kingdom into anyone's hand.
"We will get through this, I promise. Now that Ravine is here with her boyfriend, I'm sure we will be forgiven for our mistakes too. I'm sorry for being a commoner—" my eyes widen. They're super series about this, aren't they?
Also, what's with him assuring her with my name? Do I stand as an example for them or what?
I refuse.
Especially after what Aaron did today.
He's never stopped in between our sexy sessions and left with anger. Unreasonable anger on top of that.
Gerrard hugs the woman who sobs on his chest. They were the same age group, and I wouldn't expect less. They deserve each other, if I can say that.
But... I don't find myself being in the same position as them. Aaron and I have fights alright. But this... it felt one sided today.
If he could only understand me...
Anyway, I decided not to plunge into someone else's matters and sit down beside the large fridge, leaning against the pantry door.
I was making a simple sandwich out of sourdough bread and jasmine jam that was there. It was awesome, but I felt like I was eating flowers.
American food waves over me as I immediately go to grab peanut butter or any butter of that sort.
Quickly assembling my three storeyed sandwich, I take a big bite and satisfy my hunger.
Mid-meal, I see someone approaching as I could hear their footsteps.
It was Miranda herself, trying to go past the kitchen to reach the other side for the royals who take residence.
She screams out and holds her chest in fright.
"You scared me! What are you doing here so late?"
"If I had eyes," I lift the sandwich for her to see, "I'd have noticed."
She chuckles, sitting beside me.
Must be pregnancy cravings at its finest now, but she grabs the bottle of peanut butter and mixes the entire jam bottle in it. I sit there in silence, she speaks later.
"You heard me and Gerrard talk, right?" My eyes widen.
"What?" I ask, trying to pretend I was innocent.
"I know you heard us talk from there. That's why you're sat here." I close my eyes, I should have sound so lame.
"Yeah. I heard a part of it." I say and slump against the door while munching.
She sucks the life out of the jar, it was all clean within minutes.
I stand up and help her up too. She was a good 5'7 height girl, tall limbs and blond hair.
She's really like a model, unlike me who's short and chubby.
I swear if Aaron could hear my thoughts, he'd come awakened from his sleep with a sword to behead me.
Anyway, I walk her back to her room and I go to mine afterwards.
When I enter, I see Aaron cooped up on the bed alone. He was half awake, I could see his opened eyes tracing my figure as I walked to him.
"Where were you gone?" He asks.
"To fetch some food. I didn't have dinner."
"Hmm." Saying, he turns around and gives me ample space to sleep. I get undressed, only in my fresh pajama pants as I face my back to him and try to sleep.
I wasn't able to get even a blink-worthy of slumber.
My racing thoughts kept me active as I kept sighing and tossing around.
Not until Aaron grabs my leg and places it over his waist. He hugs my calf, not too stretched to make me uncomfortable but just over his waist.
Sighing heavily, I wrap my arm around his shoulder and press my chest against his warm back. I instantly felt sleepy. He's held magic in his arms forever.
"I'm sorry for today." He says in an apologetic tone.
"I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have said that and ignored you. I only wanted you to understand me, and participate with me to play against them. You don't know what it's like to be a royal, Aaron. It's a mess." I say.
"I understand. More so because you're a woman, right?" He picks up the point as I hug him even tighter.
"Yeah."
"I understand you now. But, there's always a healthy way to cope with family problems. You'll learn through time, Ravine."
"I hope so." Kissing his shoulder, I fall asleep within the next eye blink.
