Rejected

Lunar moved closer to him when Reine finally stopped talking to himself and put her arms on his chest as she snuggle herself in Reine's chest. Reine sigh and put his arms around her, he shut his eyes and finally fell asleep after seeing Lunar was now relaxed and no longer moving around anymore, Lunar's eyes were shut as her face was hidden in his chest, and then suddenly, a single drop of tear trailed down below her cheek and fell to the mattress.....

early in the morning, Reine woke up, the pain he felt last night was now finally gone and he felt his heart light again, he cleared his eyes and turned to his left side, he saw her, still asleep, Reine smiled seeing her still asleep and soundly like a baby, he raised up and went to the bathroom leaving her there on his bed as he went to freshen up ready to leave.

He came out of the bathroom already dressed, he tied his hairs his usual hairstyle, and went to Lunar, he looked at her and to his surprise, she was already awake, her eyes were staring at him since he came out of the bathroom, tied his hairs and went to her. Reine smiled and knelt down, he smiled at her as she only looked at him, he didn't touch her nor caress her cheeks or hairs, but the smile he put on for her on his face, was beautiful, as it was bright as ever. Reine stared at her and asked her

"Since when have you been awake?"

Lunar still looking at him with her same expression answered him.

"since that time you got up of bed and went to the bathroom"

Reine raised his eyebrows in shock as he clearly remembered that she was asleep when he left the bed,

" Really? but when I went to the bathroom your eyes were still shut"

" No, you never looked back when you went to the bathroom prince Reine.. "

Reine sigh and bent close to her and told her..

"Alright then, Good morning"

"No my sweet Lunar or my little devil today? "

Reine chuckle at the question he seemed to ask him, he then cleared his throat and asked her

" Why? you like it when I call you that? "

"I kinda do"

" Alright then, good morning my sweet Lunar "

" Til I said it and you called me, I don't like it anymore, it doesn't sound as perfect as it deed"

Reine chuckle and told her

" You are just looking for an argument between me and you and trust me, I would've surely done that with you but..... I gotta go now, as I have something very important to take care off.... "

Lunar narrowed her eyes while her eyebrows formed wrinkles in between and asked him

" But, this early? "

"Hmmm.... "

"Can't you stay here for awhile longer? "

"You know that I'd really like to stay back and be with you all day but..... duty calls, and I can't possibly ignore them"

" Then, will you come back early or in the evening again? "

" Ammmmmm... maybe in the evening,or late in the evening,but .... possibly late"

Lunar's face puffed and she started looking all sad again, her blue eyes became huge like the eyes of a cat when they need something from their owners, with her dark thick lashes flapping like the butterfly wings, she then asked him

"So I'll stay here in this room alone? "

" Not at all, Raya and Leen are here, they'll keep you company"

" But... "

" shhhh.... don't be so stubborn now.... Bye"

Reine stood and she watched him leave, there were so many questions, she already allowed him to touch her right? then why I'd he just leaving just like that, won't he atleast caress her cheek, or..... even... give her a peck? she sat down as she looked at him, her heart aching and then, couldn't stop herself anymore, she called...

"Prince Reine..."

Reine stopped in his moves and turned, he saw her sitting down, get off the bed, and coming towards him, with her left leg putting less effort in walking, Reine stepped closer to her as he also moved towards her so he could atleast decrease the distance between them, and when she reached to him, without a warning, she held his face and pulled it closer to hers nd then, she kissed him on the lips, Reine's eyes flew wide when she saw him do this, her heart almost flutter but he remembered that heartbreak again, and he stepped back from her kiss, he held her face and slowly pushed her away....

Lunar got quite surprised seeing his reaction, she thought he'd like it, appreciate it, and enjoy it, and if possible, even respond to her kisses and kiss her even more. she looked at him with her eyes almost wet in tears, but she stopped herself and only looked at Reine to see what excuse he'd give now after rejecting her kiss. Reine smiled at her, as warm as he could possibly make it to sue her down and told her

"You know, if you're doing this to stop me from leaving then I would have gladly do so, but... I just can't ignore my duties Lunar.... I have to go, so please, understand me and just wait for me here patiently.. hmm?"

he didn't even call her his little devil anymore, when she usually does something like this, he would call her his little devil, but now, he didn't even bother to even call her his Lunar... but hiding her disappointed heart from him, she smiled and nodded her head. Reine smiled back at her and told her...

"Bye...."

Reine again, without doing anything, he let go of her cheeks and turned and finally left the bedroom.

Lunar looked at the door and tears fell under her eyes, she sat on the floor while facing the door, still in her bathrobe since last night when he forced her to sleep, and said to herself

"What have I done?"
