My Evil Boy Toy

Everyone was looking at me. They were confused why the King is escorting me tonight. I don't really know myself. For some reason, I feel like he was my grandfather.

We were walking towards Kyle and Lily. They were talking with Peggy and Jayden. My chest was pounding, I'm so nervous.

"Hello my princess." Greeted the king to Peggy.

They turned around and Kyle seemed surprised. He was staring at me and the king.

"Grandpa!" Peggy hugged his grandfather.

"Have you met my lovely date this evening?" The king jokes.

"She's my friend. Of course she's lovely. Look at her, she's so stunning. I bet the boys can't take their eyes off her " Peggy said while glancing at Kyle.

I blushed. I was wearing a red mermaid cut evening dress with a slit on the side exposing my long flawless right leg. I let my straight long hair down and just put a simple diamond hairpin on the side.

Kyle didn't react nor spoke to me. It was piercing my heart but the king made sure that I was occupied all throughout the evening.

I was exhausted so I told the king I will be out to take a walk. He asked if I needed company but I declined. He smiled and brushed his hand to my face. I don't know what he was trying to do but I don't feel any malice with his actions.

I walked out of the hall and went straight to the garden. I removed my shoes because my feet felt numb from standing and dancing.

The tulips. They really remind me of Kyle. I didn't even get the chance to talk to him. Lily never left his side. Wherever he goes, Lily is there. It was hard for me to see them together. I made myself pretty so Kyle would notice me but he was with someone else.

I crouched down to look at the tulips. This is where me and Kyle confessed to each other, this is where we kissed for the first time and this is also where we both got our hearts broken.

"I know you'll be here." I was startled with the sound of a familiar voice.

I stood up and saw Kyle gasping for air. Did he run from the hall to get here?

"I got tired so I came here to see the tulips." I said simply.

"You're breathtaking." He said.

My heart was pounding so fast. He did notice me. I feel happy.

"Why are you here? You shouldn't leave your own party. And your date might be looking for you." I said, trying not to sound bitter.

"Are you jealous?" He asked. He was standing a few feet away from me.

"You already know the answer so please don't ask the obvious." I said, annoyed.

"Why? You said you don't love me." He asked again while walking towards me.

I took a deep breath. This is it! I have to tell him. It's now or never.

"I do! I do love you, okay? I was jealous of Lily. I was mad when I saw her touching you. I was hurt when she's your date and she never left your side. You said you wanted to court me, then all of a sudden you're with Lily. I was pissed. I wanted to snatch you away from her. I just couldn't accept that after a year, it's still you. I thought I had moved on. Then you came back. I was confused but in the end, my love for you never changed." I confessed.

Kyle didn't say a word. I was getting restless and nervous. Am I too late? Did he and Lily get back together?

"Please say something." I said, almost crying.

He then rushed into me and grabbed my waist.

"Finally!" He said before crashing my lips with his.

My lips were trembling and I was crying. It was a gentle and passionate kiss. I can feel his love for me.

He leaned his forehead with mine after kissing me. He was smiling at me while I was crying.

"Hey don't cry. I'm sorry about Lily. She asked me about tonight. I just couldn't say no since she didn't know about us." He said.

"Why didn't you ask me? I hate you." I said while sobbing.

"You just confessed to me but now you hate me?" He chuckled.

"You're enjoying this." I said, and slapped him on the shoulder.

"I love you too." He said. I blushed.

"Does that mean we're officially together now? You're my boyfriend now right?" I asked, innocently.

"You're so cute. Of course! I'm all yours." He answered.

I wrapped my arms into his neck and gave him a kiss.

"Kyle, can I talk to Xander about us? I want to give the ring back to him." I asked.

"I understand. He deserves to know." He answered.

He pressed his lips again against mine but this time it's aggressive and invading. I felt his tongue brushing my lips, slightly opening my mouth. He slid his tongue to meet mine. He tasted sugar and honey. Our tongues danced and glided with each other, tasting each other's mouth.

We were panting when he released my lips. I looked in his eyes and I knew I wanted more.

"Emily, I want you." He said.

I was about to answer him when someone suddenly spoke.

"What is this?" It was Lily's voice. "Kyle what's the meaning of this?

I looked at Kyle and he just nodded.

"I'll go back inside and wait for you." I said.

"No, stay here." He said. Then he held my hand and pulled me towards Lily.

"Lily, remember I told you I was in love with someone else. It's Emily. I've been in love with her for a long time now. Even before she met me, I'm already head over heels in love with her. I just couldn't tell her because of some misunderstanding. But now, we're ready. I apologize for what I did to you, if I hurt you I'm sorry.. I hope you will accept my decision. You're an amazing woman. There's someone out there for you. Thank you for everything." He said.

I looked at Lily and she was crying. I thought she'll be mad but she smiled.

"I'm happy you finally got her. I love you Kyle, thank you and goodbye." She said. Then she kissed him on the cheek, smiled at me and left.
