The Crown Prince's Love

~Desmond's POV~

I shouldn't have revealed what I was going through to him. I could have pretended that I didn't hear him because it was not part of the plan, and now, he might later figure out what was happening with me and eventually confront his father.

"what are you doing, Desmond?" I muttered under my breath and looked at the dark sky. I should have waited until everything worked out, but now, they might find out what had happened and eventually be forced to find out why I had decided to pretend. "Hey, Desmond!" I heard his voice sounding behind me. My heart beat hard against my chest as I turned around to face him.

"what do you mean when you said that my father is responsible for our separation."

I didn't answer, trying to see if anyone was around because I could remember what had happened the last time and where it had led us. I didn't want any of it to happen again. I wanted us to reveal ourselves to the world without fearing anything. I had to ensure that no one was hiding in the building and recording us like before.

"Desmond, are you going to pretend that you didn't hear me!" He shouted at me. "will you...."

"yes, your father did." I cut him off before he could finish what he was trying to say.

"your father made me do what I did, and I have to tell you that none of this is my fault. If you want to confront anyone, then you should confront your father!"

That came out wrong. I shouldn't have said that. I should have pretended I didn't hear him, but I had allowed myself to give responses to his questions, and now, it made me sound like a hypocrite.

Randy chuckled and moved closer to me.

"Tell me, Desmond, when my father asked you to deny knowing me," he paused to take a deep breath. "when my father asked you to pretend ever knowing me, did you accept?" he asked.

I looked at him, and even though I couldn't see his face clearly, I knew he was seething with anger. He wanted answers, and I was going to give him the replies that he had expected. "yes," I replied to him.

"your father asked me to pretend not to know you, and yes, I did act that way because..."

"Traitor!" Randy shut me up by landing a punch on my face. "you are a big traitor!" he screamed at me and grabbed me by the collar of my shirt. "how dare you lie about it! Why did you pretend as if you didn't know that I was suffering because of you? How could you do this to me!" he screamed again and held my shirt tighter.

"you said that I am weak, but what did you do when you got confronted by my father? What did you do!" he screamed and released my shirt. "you are also weak because I expected you to defend us, Desmond. I had expected that you would at least vouch for us, but instead, you pretended not to know me, putting me in a huge dilemma. You!" he yelled as he pointed at me. "you gave up on us first, and you don't dare to talk about my weakness because you should have been my strength rather than hurting me like this. You could have tried to support me rather than watching me suffer. If you had even tried to reach out to me and talk to me, then....."

"I...." I heaved a deep sigh. I couldn't say anything because I knew that I was wrong.

Randy was right about that, but I had just woken up and thought Randy was unconcious because of me, and I couldn't forgive myself. "I am sorry," I muttered.

"you are sorry!" he yelled again. "Do you know how I felt when I heard that you could be stuck on a wheelchair for the rest of your life?" he asked and then chuckled. "you asked me if I want to be with you, Desmond, and that I should return the necklace to you if truly I wanted us to be together and I have come here to tell you now that...." he paused holding the necklace.

Thump thump.

That was how my heart sounded as I feared what he was about to say. Was he going to reject me? Pretend as if I didn't exist or even tried to look my way? I was curious about what he might say, and I truly feared that he might turn me down, but that didn't stop me from hearing what he had to say.

Randy knelt in front of me and grabbed my hand. "I am done pretending. I am done fighting and acting as if nothing is happening between us when we can't stop seeing each other," he said, placing the necklace in my hand. "I want you to wear this around my neck because this is the proof of my love and me telling you that I truly want to be with you, Desmond! I am tired of everything. If you love me, then you will accept what I wish I want to give to you, and I truly hope that you cherish what we have together."

I heaved a sigh of relief, and a smile spread across my face. Even though he had already accepted to be mine, I still couldn't stop the thumping of my heart. I truly loved and cherished this man so much that I couldn't deal with not having him by my side.

"if you are not saying anything, Desmond, you are giving me the wrong impression. Tell me if you want me and I wouldn't...."

"turn around," I muttered to him.

Randy chuckled and then turned around. I placed the necklace around his neck and clipped it, then sighed. "I am sorry for acting as if I didn't know you. I believed the only way to do that was not to think about you. I thought doing so would help us, but I couldn't stop thinking about you and us. I....."

Randy turned around so fast and then captured my lips. His reaction was so swift that I was left, eyes widened and dumbfounded. He placed one of his hands on my cheek and deepened the kiss. At first, I didn't respond, and slowly, I began to kiss him back, giving my all to him. We kissed like we had been starved for months, which was true. I had not seen him close to me in weeks, hence the reason for the aggressive kissing.noveldrama

"I have missed you so much, and I have to admit that I can't do without you, Desmond," he muttered as he kissed me again. "let us not try to be separated again because this time, I don't think that I can do without you any longer Desmond."

I chuckled and grabbed him by the waist, pulling him onto my legs, and then I started kissing him again, which he responded to. "I will make sure that we fight to the end, and no matter what happens, you, Randy will always be my man. No matter what anyone says. I will love and cherish you forever."
