Sebastian's POV
Maybe I was wrong. Maybe I was right. But what I was certain on was that I hated the confusion in my head and the one newly being form around my heart.
I had always had feelings for Emily. Falling in love with her in high school was everything but when things ended the way it did, it was only understanding that the feelings would never be the same. Years of lost of communication and distance would do that to anyone but I knew it was completely over. It wouldn't be over even if I tried to let it just fade away.
Naomi, on the other hand, I only disliked her for one reason. She wasn't Emily but today, as I sat across from her on the picnic basket, I saw her for her. She glowed and flushed as she told me stories from her childhood, what it was like to grow up as a princess with a very strict father and I found myself relating to her because our fathers had lots of similarities and relations.
It was only fair that I gave her a chance of proving herself instead of lashing out at her. I also knew that regardless of seeing her in a new light, I was not ready to get married to her and have her by my side for the rest of my royalty life. It wouldn't be fair to myself or Emily.
I covered my face with my hands from exhausted thinking and wondering and asking myself about the future ahead of me and the entire Kingdom. I had a huge responsibility that was now draining to my sanity and mindset. I couldn't make everyone happy. Someone was about to have me forever and someone would have to be dealing with a broken-heart.
After a few more minutes, my cellphone chimed on the desk. I peeled myself off the bed to retrieved it.
It was Emily, asking me if I could meet up with her because there was something very important she had to say to me.
I got dressed and sneaked out the back to my personal vehicle. I drove to Emily's hotel. She was standing a few feet away from the hotel's entrance. When I pulled up, she got in quickly and let out a very loud sigh.
"Seb," she began, "I've been thinking about everything and I really don't want to cause you any complications, especially with you duties and expectations as King. So I think we should just pretend like we never met each other here."
"Don't you dare!" my blood boiled instantly as I snapped at her. She was startled by my response and honestly, so was I.
I exhaled and calmed myself before finding the perfect words. "Okay Emily, I'm sorry and I understand."
"You do?"
I nodded my head yes.
"So that's it? you're just going to give up on me just like that?" she asked.
I chuckled lightly and shook my head. I pulled her over to me and planted a kiss on her forehead before kissing her lips.
"I can't give up on you by myself so if you want me to, then I'll be forced to oblige to your wishes."
"Well what if I don't mean it?"
"Then I'll advice you to have a clear head before speaking." I released her gently but her eyes stayed on me.
"I'm confused, and my best friend dropped a bombshell on me, this is just all so much."
"Ha! you should try ruling an entire Kingdom with a strict father on your back constantly telling you what to do and how to do it."
She cupped my face with her gentle hands.
"Your wedding is coming up soon, I want you to be happy. I don't think I'm fit to be your queen. You should married the princess and be happy with her."
"You're not certain about that so can we please change this subject? Let's go grab something to eat."
I started my vehicle and drove to my private restaurant where fast food was served to us. I enjoyed eating fast food and junk just like anyone else.
Afterwards, Emily and I took a walk. We approached a cliff with miles of ocean before it. I circled her with my arms as she stood in front of me, taking in the night-sight.
"I have feelings for you and I can't pretend as if they don't exist but to be honest with you, I'm really scared of the future because there's a very high possibility that we would have to end this one day, Emily."
"I know, but my mom has thought me one thing, to live in the moment and in this moment, all I want to do is to enjoy you."
We kissed and I feared it was going to be our last kiss.
