So Prince was telling the truth, I muttered to myself, eyes widened.
"You ...you are romantically attracted to me?"
I asked him confused, staring deep at him, he nodded slowly.
"For how long Dan..why didn't you say so all this while?"
I was so confused, I was sad and angry.
"I don't know,since I met you, I could have ended my relationship but you are so nice and kind that I know you won't just jump on me after breaking up with my girlfriend, but when Prince came between us,I was so angry and jealous. I blamed myself for not opening up earlier but I didn't want to hurt your feelings Val. That spoiled brat of a boss is not your type,he is like Luke,he doesn't love you for who you really are,do you know his ex'es.
They are are very rich and famous,tell me Val, is it possible for him to settle for someone like us, what if he planned this with Luke to kill your self confidence finally,he is Luke's friend right?"
All this while I was staring at Dan, tears rolling down my cheeks.
Talking to me about Prince and Luke working together? He might be making sense but I don't want to think about it. Prince does love me genuinely.
"Dan....I am confused".
"Val I don't want you to get hurt again, is he the man you really need, he abused you Val, have you forgotten so soon, he will never change, things doesn't work that way, that brat is toxic it's his nature as a man I am even scared of him but I will protect you with all I am Val. I..don't know how long it will take for you to realize how much I do love you,those times we spent together,I know I was wrong for not admitting my feelings even when I was with my ex, I don't want you to see me as Luke ,by the way you said you have no place for love again, I wanted to wait a little longer,then he came in between us,remembered how happy we are then before him, please Val, I can't lose you, you know I can't".
My eyes got filled and now rolling freely down my cheeks.
"Dan please don't do this,I... don't want us to talk about this okay,I should go"I sobbed and turned to the door.
He held me back.
"Don't punish me for talking about my feelings Val, have I ever wronged you?if there's no Prince won't you say you love me too? I will wait".
I stared at him and got more emotional when I saw him crying.
"Dan...please stop".
He leaned over,he gently took my face,it was normal for us so I didn't see the surprise kiss coming.
I forgot myself for a while then pushed him aside and ran off and locked myself in the room.
"Val! I am sorry ,I just can't hold back anymore!"
I heard him say but I was shaking nervously,why is this happening to me? I got on the bed and covered myself with a duvet.
The times I spent with Dan are so sweet and lovely that it hurts,we cared so much about each other that we gave that siblings energy.
We are even comfortable to show our dirtiest and nastiest side and the other will laugh over it. We advised each other and stood by each other.
Then prince was a lifetime experience,I felt so important,so loved I felt that connection when ever we are together,even though we haven't been together for a long time and I can't boldly say I love prince because of my class,but I do love him, why he is overprotective when it comes to Dan?
Was he saying the truth back then.....Dan why did you do this....?"
I covered my mouth not to cry out loudly,I don't think the rain drops can be as heavy as my tears right now.
**PRINCE'S POV**
I was in the rain, waiting for her to come back so we could go home.
Then I received a message from Dan.
I was angry I didn't want to see it but my curiosity won.
I opened the message box to read it.
