Chapter 20: Drinks and Digressions

*Princess Belasarius*

WhatdidIdowhatdidIdowhatdidIdo?????

Oh god above I’ve ruined everything! My impulsiveness has completely destroyed whatever we might have had. He surely hates me now, he must!

But, I thought as I lifted my head from where it was buried in my pillow. He…returned the kiss, did he not? Quite enthusiastically, I might add. My mind raced back to how he held me closer and deepened the kiss, and I found myself missing that. Wishing I was still there. Wishing I never had to leave

…Oh god. I’m in trouble.

THE NEXT MORNING

Another sleepless night. Another sleepless night caused by her. Another sleepless night caused by her but NOT in the way I wanted.

At least I got to, well, relieve the tension throughout the night, a luxury I was not afforded the last time Bel did this to me.

She kissed me. And I kissed her back.

F*ck, I need to talk to someone about this.
