The door was opening and that sound was killing me. I did not even realize that I held my breathe for sometime.
The door opened and then I finally took a breath when I saw Alexa who saw us and closed the door immediately.
She came in and asked "What is happening here? and...." She looked at Andy from top to bottom and asked "Who is this?"
"I..." Then Andy looked at me and signalled me to introduce him.
"He is Andy."
"Andy!!!!! You..." She was about to speak out about the love thing but I didn't want him to hear it so I rushed and kept my hand on Alexa's mouth and took her to the side and told "Dare you tell him about my feelings. Throw him out of the palace. Now!!!" I whispered.
"But why!!!? You said yourself that he is an amazing fighter, having him with us will be useful." She too whispered. Actually she was right. Andy with us was the best thing that could happen to us.
"I know but the point is, He is half crazy. I mean look at him." We both looked at him and then Alexa turned behind and asked "He is handsome."
I hit her and said "He came inside the palace and also inside my room that too when I just came out of bath. Queen also came by but when I asked him to hide, he said 'You will have to tell me truth only then will I hide'. I need intelligent and a little less crazy people." I knew Andy was someone who was not scared of anyone. There was not a single sould who could scare him. I knew if he is determined to do something, he will do it even though he has to kidnap the king himself.
Alexa sighed and asked "How did he enter."
"I think we have to fire all the soldiers. He is always able to fool them? Go and check what happened to those silly soldiers." I said.
Then I said aloud "Alexa, please show Andy out while I go and see what happened to Lucifer and!!!! Also go and fire all the soldiers. Andy was able to get in so easily." Then I walked out of the room.
Alexa and Andy were left alone in the room.
Alexa said "Hello, I am Alexa and I want to show you out. Please follow me."
"Oh Dear!!! Haven't you heard that whatever I am determined to do, I will do it no matter what." Andy said and ran out of the room.
"Huh!!!!...Hey!!!!" Alexa was shocked at first and then ran behind him.
Andy and Alexa were running when Alexa clashed with a guy who knew her and asked "Who is that guy? Why are you running behind him?"
"He....He...is my younger brother." She said and ran behind him. He vanished when Alexa clashed with the guy. She now walked to search for Andy in the palace.
Now she understood what Andy was and why I wasn't allowing him to come to our group.
Actually if I was in her place I would know where Andy was hiding. He was hiding behind a pole just beside Alexa who definitely did not notice it and walked ahead.
AT LUCIFER'S ROOM....
I came in and saw him sitting on the bed alone quite sad.
I took the seat beside him. I looked at him but he kept staring at the floor. I asked "Is the floor more beautiful than me?"
He got a little shock because he was too concentrated on the floor and I called him. "Uhh no, it is not like that."
"What the heck happened? Why do you seem so sad? Did the floor do something to you? Should I hit it?" I asked.
"I am not a baby. You can't take my mind off by telling that." He said before turning back again to look at the floor.
I now made a cute face. No one can say no to this cute face of mine. Not possible.
He looked at my face from the corner of his eyes. He turned back and said "What are you? A puppy? Stop doing that face." He turned back again.
"Come on!!! You know why I am making this face. Tell me what happened?" I asked him.
He now turned back though he was reluctant to tell everything that happened but he was about to say "Ummm Er....."
Suddenly Alexa came from the door and said "Problem."
She didn't even have to say further because I knew that the only problem that was near both of us was Andy.
I said to Lucifer "I will come back again." I got up from the bed and remembered something so turned back to Lucifer and said "Remember, I don't like a sad husband. So, before the party select your expressions carefully." I laughed and ran out.
He chuckled and I surely heard that.
We came out of the room and Alexa pulled me and said "I lost Andy. He got lost in the palace."
"Where did you last see him?"
"Come with me." Alexa asked me to follow her.
We reached to the same place where she lost him.
I analyzed the situation and said "He was hiding right beside you, behind the pole."
"What the..." Someone crossed by so she didn't swear.
"Let's search for him. We will surely find him." I whispered because many people were going around us.
I went in one direction and Alexa in other direction.
I was searching in a place where there were not many people.
Suddenly someone pulled me and pinned me to a wall.
He was wearing a soldier dress. I didn't see his face earlier so I shouted at him "And What the heck do you think you're doing mister?"
"Just....." His voice was someone I knew too closely and when he looked at my eyes I knew who it was. He continued "getting answers to my questions."
"And why do you think that you deserve answers? What answers? There is only one answers to all your questions and that is I am getting married to the prince of kingdom Zeriya, Lucifer." I said that with a breaking voice.
"Ashley You should not do this." His voice was intimate and very soft. His voice went straight to my heart pinching it.
"What?"
"Just tell me and let me help." He pleaded to help me.
"I don't need any help. I don't want to answer any question. Just leave."
"You don't want to meet Granny Cora?"
"Granny Cora?" Her name was like the only heat that can melt my heart and Andy knew it too well. But I had to stay strong.
"Listen Andy, You should leave and never turn back. I know you love me and I am sorry to give you wrong directions. I don't love you. Just get over it." I said and tried to leave.
He held my hand tightly and pulled me back. I collided with the wall. He kept his hand on the wall behind me and came even more close to me.
We were close, very close. I could feel his breath on my face. He was taller than me so, he came down to make an eye contact. My heart was beating really fast.
"You know, your fast heartbeat tells me what effect do I have on you." He said and he was right.
His effect on me was not something I had to define. My heart starts beat too fast whenever he comes near me. When he is close I always get confused. Whatever I talk doesn't make sense whenever he is close to me.
I always loose control over myself whenever he is close to me. Whenever he is not near my imagination creates him. He is everywhere I look, in every person I look.
We were standing there like that staring at each other and we didn't even know that just from the other side the king was coming.
He was discussing about the party with the ministers.
