DESPITE Uncle Hugh's warnings, Liz had fallen deeply in love with Spencer and they had grown fond of each other. Still, Liz knew she was putting Spencer in grave danger.
Liz didn't want Spencer killed. She can't ever bear loosing him.
She was thinking about it when she started weeping silently in his room, untop his bed, staring at him as he slept.
He didn't know when she entered his lodge or even went to his room. He woke up, seeing Liz beside him. The sight of her, made him paralyse as he sat straight holding her. "Is everything alright? Did someone hurt you? Talk to me Liz?" He held her closely.
"It's okay... It's okay Spencer" she forced a smile, piling up her scattered hair.
"You're sure about that?" He looked steadily at her.
"Yes I am" she beamed this time.
"Then why are you here?" He let go raising a brow "don't tell me you miss me after this morning exercise" he scanned her aware of his jokes.
"No I don't!... Okay I do... I do... Infact I adored it" she couldn't help but laugh.
"Then what brings you here my lady?" He held her by her waist as she rested her body on his chest still laughing.
"Good tidings my prince"
"Hmm" he brought his lips close to hers for a kiss when he saw the pale look on her eyes. "Liz, what's it?"
"I... Spencer I can't continue with this. Whatever we are doing. It won't take us anywhere" she explained.
Spencer looked puzzled as he listened to her quietly "I don't understand Liz"
She sighed and sat up.
"I love you Spencer. I do love you. But, you've gotta understand that this relationship won't work out"
"...and what makes you think so?" Spencer was really confused.
"We're different Spencer. We come from a different background entirely"
Spencer was scared. Too scared of loosing her.
"I... I can't live without you Liz" he confessed.
"You'll die with me!" She told him the truth.
"I don't want to loose you" he said.
"And I don't want to LOOSE you too" she said.
Spencer sighed.
Liz stood up heading for the door when Spencer called out to her "Liz..."
She turned to face him.
He swallowed taking her hands in his. "Give me this I beg you. One more time"
What wasn't he understanding? You'll get killed Spencer! "Spencer no. I--"
He had already kissed her. Kissing every remaining words from her lips. "Spencer no..." She tried talking but found herself making love with him.
They rode together, journeyed together in their endless romance. Till they were drowned by it.
She was making love with the man she loved. The only one man she wanted to spend her life with, but couldn't.
She wept.
The kiss continued hot and hotter until it slowly drifted away.
They remained in their position for almost eternity. Spencer stroked her hair, listening to her quiet sobs. It hurt him, it really hurt him to see Liz in this manner but he couldn't do anything.
"Liz don't go, stay with me"
It was then it occurred to Liz that she had spent all day in Spencer's room. She froze and rose putting on her clothes.
"Liz?" Spencer said puzzled.
"I have to go" she said.
"Liz... Liz but---"
"I have to go Spencer. Oh! Uncle Hugh!" She took to her heels not minding whatever Spencer was still saying.
Spencer on the other hand felt the tension in Liz and decided to follow her behind quietly and secretly. He could swear that surely, she was in so much trouble.
