Hear Me Out

A few days later...

(At the Earth kingdom)

"Your highness, you're things are already outside," a servant informed.

Lucy responded, "Thank you, I'll be out in a moment."

When Lucy opened the bedroom door, she saw the general, standing in front of her.

She asked, "Are you here to see me—"

Before she was able to continue, the general instantly grabbed her shoulders and pushed her back until Lucy landed on the bed with the general on top of her.

She said, "What are you—"

The general then suddenly brought his face closer and brushed his lips against hers. While on the other hand, Lucy was gripping on to his clothes, trying to push him away, but because the general was too strong. She then gave up and waited for him to release her.

The princess looked at him. "Say what you have to say, You're wasting time."

"I'm sorry."

"Get off me."

"Why didn't you respond to my kiss?"

The princess pushed him away. "Is there a reason to?"

"What are you doing?" Josh asked.

"I'm going to get my stuff," Lucy replied as she stood up.

The general then grabbed her wrist and said, "If you're not going to follow me, then I guess I have no choice."

He then claimed her mouth as his lips moved across her cheek and down to her neck. Then he went to the zipper of her dress until the princess suddenly slapped him. Tears started falling from the princess's eyes as she told him to stop.

Josh looked at her. "I'm sorry,"

Lucy wiped her tears. "Why are you even doing this to me? We aren't together anymore."

The general then put his hands behind her waist, pulled her closer, and told her that he lost control of himself.

"Why wouldn't you just let me finish speaking?" Lucy yelled.

"I really thought that you'd just push me away."

"I was suppose to say that I wasn't leaving! My mother has already allowed me to stay!"

As soon as the general heard that, his eyes widened. Why didn't he just let her finish what she had to say? If he did, then he wouldn't be that embarrassed as he is now.

Josh scratched his head. "Even though you had the chance to get away from me, you chose to stay?"

"Why would I leave this place just for that?"

Josh hugged her right. "Thank you."

"Josh, I don't know if we can still go back to the way we used to be," Lucy responded.

"You once told me that fights make us stronger, but here you are giving up on me because of this."

"I really don't know what to say, Josh."

"Is it really that hard to let it go?"

Lucy replied, "Josh, this isn't—"

Without even letting her finish, Josh suddenly lifted her chin, lowered his head and gently brushed his lips against hers. A few moments later, Lucy's heart started pounding as she looked at the general's eyes that were closed. She then started responding to the kiss as the general carried her by the waist and brought her to sofa.

Lucy sighed, "I give up. You win."

"I always do," Josh responded as he kissed her nose.

"My acting still didn't work on you."

"Now that I've won, I should give you a punishment."

"I know that you just want my—"

"I want a date with you," Josh interrupted.

"Seriously?" Lucy sighed.

"What's wrong?"

"Haven't you read those love stories? I'm disappointed."

"Did you expect your punishment to be a kiss?"

"What-What? Of course not!" the princess looked away, feeling embarrassed.

The general then tilted his head towards her direction and said, "If you would want that to be your punishment, then I don't mind."

Lucy smiled. "I'll just go on a date with you."

Josh frowned. "What? Why?"

"I just feel like it."

"Well I changed my mind. I want you now."

Lucy said, "Then I'll just give you a peck in your cheek."

As Lucy was about to kiss his cheek, the general suddenly turned his head, capturing her lips with his.

Lucy's face reddened and asked, "What-What did you just do?"

"I want it in the lips, not the cheeks."

Lucy then tried to stand up as she was sitting on the general's lap, but the general trapped her in his arms, pulling her closer. The general tilted his head and said, "You're so weak."

"You're just too strong," Lucy sighed.

"Don't leave me anymore alright?"

"Of course I won't. I love you."
