Closer

Nick was helping the servant in the stable when he saw leah, she was looking too beautiful  and tempting, she was surprised to see him. 

"Nick, what are you doing here?"

"Uh"

"Leave that please" 

She wanted to snatch the bucket from him when she slip but got caught by him, he was staring at her face then to her lips, it look tempting, he gulped unconsciously, she quickly pull away.

"Thank you" awkwardly 

"You are welcome"

"Ah..." looking else where

"So what are you doing  here?"

"Ahhhh, am here  because of that stallion" pointed at the horse

"It look beautiful and fierce"

"Dont go close, he is very aggressive, it only listen to the master and can only be touched by the master" said the stable boy

Leah smiled at the stallion, she recall their encounter  the first time she was in this world. How on earth did he allow her ride him? It must have been a shock to Tyler, she could see why it was given a special treat from the rest.

She move towards the stallion and rub his nose, Nick could tell just how much this animal is fond of her, didn't they say he is aggressive? She fed him and was even rubbing his face, he seems to be enjoying her touch.

"Nick"

"Uhnmm"

"Don't you think you should go and talk to your father"

"No"

"You might regret it if you don't  and after going back there is no way coming back here, the crystal is broken and believe me you did be wishing you had listen to me, I don't want you to live in regret Nick, you are a good man"

"Leah, it doesn't matter, when I leave here am not coming back but i will miss you more than you can ever imagine. Am sorry for being a jerk and also I have a confession"

"Confession?"

"You were right about kellen and I, i know i shouldn't be saying this but i love you leah, it has always been you and now that you found love and a better man am just too happy and sad at the same time"

"Nick, like I said I will always root for you and kel, you both are my family"

Does she seriously think he is in love with kellen? Come on leah can't you see am dying for your love!

"Am not inlove with kel"  touched her chin. His eyes filled with regret, he gave her a sad smile 

"Am sorry" pushed his hand away

"I know, be happy leah" 

"I will" sadly

"Are you alright" worriedly when he saw the tears in her eyes

"Nick, please take care of my father when you return home"

"Leah, everything is going to be okay" reassured her

He wish he can comfort her but he couldn't, he gave her his word that once he returned, her father is going to be alright. He just have to do everything he can for her to be happy even if he is not the man by her side, he love her and will always do. Seeing her happy is a priority, he wouldn't like seeing her being unhappy.

"Am sorry for being a burden"

"You were never a burden to me leah, never"

She stare at him for a very long time, she wondered how she totally fall out of love with Nick, maybe it's because she saw him with kellen or because she was swoon by her husband good look but whatever, she is madly inlove with Tyler.

Nick is a nice and caring guy, she is sure about him and kellen, their love would be beautiful if only they both agree to date each other. She wish them well because she no longer have anything to do with their world, now her world is staying by Tyler's side and living happily 

She is more happy when with Tyler and will never give up on him or his sister, she will make sure her dream come true so that he would be the happiest man after meeting his family. She snapped out of her thoughts when she noticed Nick's gaze on her.

"You look..hmmmm how should I put this?"

"Ridiculous"

"Nah"

They burst out laughing, he was surprised how she seems to know all the servant and their interactions was not like that of  master and servant instead she is interacting with them as if they were friends, despite all the riches she is still the lovable, humble and kind hearted leah he fell in love with.

How on earth did he get sway by kellen?

Lust!

"Where are you going?" Ariana asked curiously 

"Am going out, i have to atleast have some fun  before leaving this world"

"Why don't we go with leah? She seems to know much about this place, afterall she is your bestfriend right?"

"You are right"

I wonder why she is suddenly mentioning leah 

Leah agreed to go with us, her husband insist on following her which was adorable but I find it quite annoying especially when he told her to go and change her outfit into whatever he bought for her, can't he just leave her side for some time. Why is he always sticking to her like a glue.

Is he a stalker? I was fuming with anger while waiting for leah.

I felt like scolding him but then he was smiling, I swear it was the most beautiful smile I have ever seen, I could feel my heart racing like crazy but then I turn to look at the reason behind those smile.

I gasped in awe, it was leah, she was looking so majestic and beautiful. Are those really gold? I didn't realise I was walking towards her to touch her outfit. Indeed it was gold, just how rich is this devil? When did leah get this lucky?

"Isn't it beautiful kel" turning around while smiling in excitement 

"It is"

"Come here wife" he ordered 

He pull her to his arms and kiss her  "You look like a shining star, the brightest star in the universe,  am lucky to have you my beloved wife"

"I think am going to stand out my love, let's wear something simple so people won't recognize us" suggested 

"Never, my wife must stand out among the crowds because she is a bright star"

I stood there staring at the lovebirds arguing, they have totally forgotten that I was standing beside them until I coughed out hard. In the end leah won the arguement because they both wore a simple outfit, covering their head with a hood.

Airangon was indeed a beautiful kingdom, filled with many lovely people and I couldn't believe the fact that both human, fairies and elves coexist in this world. I wish I could go and see those fairies but am sure it won't be easy, cause I heard they have their own kingdom and can be only summoned by the king and his wife.

I could sense Ariana acting strange each time tyler stare at her, she was even blushing. Could it be that she is also in love with him? I was deep in thought not knowing there was a carriage coming towards me, I almost got hit but I got saved by Tyler, his face was close to mine, I couldn't breathe.

How could a man be this beautiful? Why is my heart acting strange?

He let go off me and asked if I was alright including  leah who run towards me with a worried expression

"Kel, are you okay?"

"Am fine"

"Come here" held her hand

"Come on leah, let go"

"I will never let go of this hand never!" Smiled so brightly
