Chapter 20: Chapter 20

Vy's POV

I stopped in thought and turned to Luhence with a worried face, "Are you okay?" He asked

I nodded quickly, "Y-yes. I'm fine. I just remembered something," I answered weakly

I secretly thanked him for not asking what it was. He seemed to notice that it wasn’t good for us to talk to my mom. He held my hand tightly until we got home. When the four of us got out of his car. Lily quickly said goodbye but I didn’t let her.

"Ly ate here. I know Tita Liana hasn't come home yet so you'd better stay here until later. Then we'll do a movie marathon, right?"

"I'm sorry vy. Next time," he averted his eyes

I frowned, "Is there a reason ... you don't want to have dinner here?" I will ask

I noticed her pause and the blush on her cheek. I quickly figured out the reason so I secretly laughed. It's just because of Nash. What is there between these two?

I walked over and held her arm, "Here you have dinner Ly. It's hard to be alone at home. Isn't it Nash?"

Nash's eyebrows rose like a robot standing next to Luhence. I have never done such a thing. Being a matchmaker but I see Nash as a good person. It's just rude and doesn't seem to care all the time.

"I prefer being alone lady," he replied to me

Lily blew air and pulled me inside the house. I laughed a little then said goodbye to Luhence and Nash to cook the food. When Lily and I were alone in the kitchen, I teased her.

"Why are you so mad at Nash Ly? That looks different ah!" I'm teasing

"Because he's squeamish! I'm trying to make him smile but he still beats the menstruating woman! I don't know what he is and you know I can't stay with that kind of people. It's very hard to approach!" He complained

I would laugh as I cooked up her stories when Nash brought her to her house. She was very annoyed because of how it treated her though she wasn't being abused but she was always teased and blocked which I knew Lily didn't want. As he told the story. I couldn’t help but notice the chemistry between the two of them. An optimistic, brave and reliable Lily plus a gentleman but rugged and robot Nash. Hmm.

He stopped speaking when we heard footsteps into the kitchen. At the door Luhence entered as Nash followed. I noticed that Nash always followed him but I ignored that.

"Can I talk to you my lady?" Luhence

I smiled and then nodded, "Of course. You're here first Ly. I'm cooking!"

Her eyes widened and I was ready to protest as I quickly pulled Luhence out. We headed to there was a balcony in the backyard which faced the garden.

"Why in a hurry?" Luhence

"Playing matchmaker. Those two can't get along," I said laughing

He also laughed but then he hugged me from the side and kissed me on the lips. I smiled as I responded to his kiss. He stopped first and kissed me on the forehead. He smile showing his perfect set of pearly-white teeth.

"I thought you were going to talk to me? Why does it seem like the conversation you want is different?" I laugh at the question

I heard her soft laugh before she hugged me tightly, "I just want to be this close to you my lady blue. I can't believe I have that. I don't want to lose you my lady blue. If I had one thing to be afraid of. It was losing the rights to call you mine, "

I felt sadness in her voice, "Is there a problem Luhence?" My poor question

A few minutes passed before he spoke. My heartbeat quickened when he said, "I love you my lady," he said softly

My lips quivered at what he said. He already loves me? T-is that true? Is he sure? I tried to loosen up so I could see his expression and when I could see if he was telling the truth but he hugged me tightly.

"Don't leave Vy. Stay,"

Because of what he said I didn’t move anymore. I let him hug me for a few minutes before I spoke.

"Luhence ... are you sure ... you love me?"

"If isn't love then why do I get when I saw him kissing you back in the Filifia? If isn't love then why do I want you close to me everytime? If I don't love you Vy then why do I feel like going insane when I can't see you once a day? What is it then if isn't love my lady? " He cried softly

I kept quiet because I honestly didn’t know what to say. Because I’m still not sure how I feel right now. Yes. I like him but love? Do I love Luhence anymore? Yes, I have a strange feeling every time he is there but I want to clarify what it is instead of saying that I love him too but the truth is I doubt it. It isn't fair.

"I want you Luhence but give me time to make sure I go there too. That I might love you too. I'm sorry but I want to be fair to the two of us,"

He let go of the hug and introduced me to him. He put his hands on my waist and smiled.

"I understand my lady. I knew you would have the same thought," luhence

I frowned, "Huh?"

"I also ask myself if I just like you before but I realized that it wasn't just that simple lady blue. I like you when I met you in the falls but I fall in love unknowingly to who you are. You have all the time to realize what you really feel my lady because I'm willing to wait to matter how long it will take me, "

***

As I expected in someone like Luhence. We had a good conversation because he listened and understood all my reasons and I respected how he felt. I was happy because he understood me and he promised to wait. I'm not sure how long but I hope he can wait until I know if I really love him. I want to be sure because I want us to work.

Luhence took us earlier and Ly and I are in the garden now, sitting while I hold the book and she is taking care of something on her laptop. I stopped reading and looked at him.

"What happened when you talked to Nash? Is it okay?" I asked

"Yes. Somehow. At first we fought because I can't handle his behavior anymore but we also got along. Nash was a good person but grumpy,"

We both laughed but it stopped when someone called my name. I smiled at Alex as he handled the entries for the news writing contest. He smiled slightly and approached me. I stood up.

"Alex? How are you? Did I enter the contest?" I hope the question

He grinned which made me nervous, "I'm sorry Elvyra but no. I also don't know why but the head said you can't enter the contest. I'm sorry Miss Ashton,"

He disappeared in front of me but the disappointment and frustration were still there, "W-how come my entry didn't come in? Did I write something wrong?" It was as if my heart was choked because of what I heard

Ly approached me, "How did that happen? You're one of the best writers but you didn't get in? Are they upset?" Lily

"I don't ... understand," I whispered softly

I could feel my tears welling up but I held back a sigh. Maybe ... maybe I just didn't pass well so I didn't get along. Babawi na la -----

"Poor you! You don't deserve to be with people like you who are feeling smart in a contest like that. I don't wonder why they terminated your work because you are a worthless bitch trying hard to pretend she was good!"

Ly and I turned to Cassandra with a wide grin on her lips. My jaw tightened as I thought that he might have something to do with what happened to terminate me. It's impossible for them to just not accept me for no reason!

Even though I was simmering with anger. I still managed not to rush him. I have no evidence of my allegations so I better keep quiet. I might be even more damned if I fought him even more.

"Stop that Cassandra. You won't be rewarded for what you're doing to Vy. You're just being desperate right now!" Ly

"That's where you're wrong! I can just see that the woman who kidnapped Luke is hurting and suffering. I can tell that I am the happiest woman on earth. That's how I hate you Elvyra! I wished that you never existed in this world!"

I didn't speak and just kept staring at him, "I'm just starting VY! I'll make sure you cry blood next time. Remember that!"

Luhence's POV

When we reached her university. I hopped off the car and opened the door for her. I felt happy just seeing her face.

"We'll go first. Be careful," she plastered her smile

I smiled back and kissed her lips softly, "I will my lady. We'll fetch you later,"

She just smiled and went inside with her friend. I released a contented sigh. We were about to get into the car when a voice stopped us. My jaw clenced when I heard his voice.

"Now I knew why the f-ck Vy was pushing me away! Because of you f-cking moron! I should have known that you'll be going to be a threat when I saw you in Filifia! Leave my munchkin alone assh-le ! " Luke

I looked at him dead in the eyes. He was blazing in fury, "Don't you disgrace the Pri ----,"

"Nash! Stop!" I demand

"About ---,"

I glared at him before looking back at him, "I can't do that because she's mine!" I stated in a finalize tone

There's no way I would surrender my lady to him. Never. Just by the thought of it. The devil inside of was getting alive. Reading to ripped his head off.

"Bullsh-t! She wasn't yours and she will never gonna be yours !! Leave her the f-ck alone!"

He raise his fist and was ready to punch my face when I held it and use my elbow to hit his chest. He groaned in pain and used it as an advantage to push him away.

"She's my girlfriend that makes her mine. I'm not the one leaving. It's you,"

His jaw clenched but was replaced by arrogant laugh. I remain silent.

"You sure she's yours huh? Don't forget that she was mine before you. Boyfriend? My man. Even you were her husband. There's no way you can stop me from stealing her. Motherf-cker !!" He shouted

Nash is pissed and was about to punch him when I raised my hand, stopping him from what he was about to do.

"Let's go,"

"M-majesty?"

I don't answer back and hop inside the car. He immediately followed and sit in the driver's seat before driving off the road.

"Majesty? You sure you're still doing the right thing?" Nash

I looked at his eyes. There's a hint of disapproval in his eyes but I don't care what he thinks, because he don't know how I feel. He don't know how torn I am right now between choosing my lady and country.

I knew this was wrong but I can't help it. I wanted her so badly. I'd never felt this way before to anyone just her and I don't wanna lose it.

I don't want to lose her.

"Life was never been easy. You need to sacrifice, endure and experience humiliation in order to be strong, harder and smart,"
