My Evil Boy Toy

"Jayden!" I shouted.

"Peggy!" He shouted back. Then he started to run towards me by crossing the river.

I know the river wasn't that deep so I went down to rush towards him.

The people who were at the festival were stunned from what they saw. I know I would be the talk of the town again. Their princess is really a rebellious and scandalous woman. But I don't care, I am a woman head over heels in love with this man.

When I got closer to him, he pulled me into his arms wrapping one hand on my waist and the other on my head.

"I'm sorry! Please forgive me!" He uttered. Then I felt his shoulders shaking.

He was crying while repeating those words over and over.

"Please Peggy. I can't live without you. Please come back to me! I regret everything I did to you! Please forgive me!"

I was also crying. Tears keep on falling from my eyes. I couldn't control myself anymore. This man will always turn my world upside down and he's the only one who could do that.

I wrapped my hands around his neck and when he moved his head to look at me, I tilted my face up to meet his gaze. God! I missed those mesmerizing silver eyes.

I stared at his face memorizing every detail again. He looked different though. His face was somewhat stressed and there were dark circles in his eyes. And he looks like he hasn't shaved ever since we left.

I wiped the tears from his eyes as he did with mine.

"I forgive you!" I answered simply and grabbed his head to press my lips to his.

I felt his lips tremble and as I kissed him under the floating lights, I felt his hand tightened in my waist. Ah! I missed him so much.

He kissed me back and I could feel the yearning from his lips yet it was sweet and gentle. His shivering lips move slowly with mine and the taste of peppermint made me want him even more. The kiss of longing continued as the sky lanterns became the witness of our undying love for each other.

I wanted to deepen the kiss but I suddenly remembered that we're in the middle of the river. And that's when I realized that the people were cheering and screaming with joy. Some were also taking photos and videos of us.

He leaned his forehead into mine, still crying. Jayden was a proud man, not good with sweet talks and he showed his love in a different way. And seeing him cry conveys his sincerity to every word he said and it made me fall in love with him over again.

"Let's go to the palace." I said.

He nodded and to my surprise, he carried me bridal style. I heard the cheering and squeals from the people again. I blushed and buried my face into his chest.

When we got out of the water, I heard George yelling.

"You could return to your activities now." He was talking to the people.

Jayden put me down and walked towards George, pulling me by my hand. I suddenly got nervous.

"Jayden." I called out his name.

He looked at me and winked. When we got closer to George, Jayden reached out his hand to him.

Here I am, thinking he would hurt George, maybe because he was like that before. But somehow, I felt that he changed.

"Thank you." He said to George.

George reached back, shaking his hand. He smiled at first but got serious after.

"This is the first and last time. If it happens again, I won't hesitate to take her from you. Anyway, nice meeting you, Jayden." George replied.

George decided to stay in town and wait for Kyle and Emily. Jayden needs to talk to Caden. I don't know if he already found proof that nothing happened between him and Amanda but I don't care anymore. I will believe in him no matter what.

Inside the car, he kissed my hand and finally smiled.

"I love you and I missed you." He whispered.

I pouted. I felt like my heart would burst from all the words coming from his mouth.

"I love you too. What took you so long? I waited everyday!" I suddenly blurted. I was crying again.

"Please don't cry. I'm stupid and an asshole. I'm sorry Peg. I don't really know if Caden and your family could forgive me but I will do everything to make it up to you and them. Just tell me what I need to do. So please, I'm begging you to give me another chance." He said in a gentle voice.

"You don't need to beg. I'm mad because you're so slow. You didn't even send me a single text." I said, pissed.

"I don't know your number. Remember, you changed your number when you left me three years ago. You didn't give me the new one. I asked the girls but they didn't want to give it to me. Alora said that I should come here instead. It took me three weeks because I wanted to get the proof you need." He explained.

"I don't really care if you have it or not. I asked you that for Caden not for me." I murmured.

"I wanted to prove it to you and Caden." He said.

"Did you get it?" I asked.

For some reason, I knew nothing happened between him and Amanda and the truth would eventually come out. I was hurt because I felt like Amanda won that night. It was painful because Caden saw something he shouldn't have seen.

"I did. I fired Amanda." He answered.

That feels better. I smiled and suddenly hugged him. Everything that pained me disappeared. My heart was dancing and pounding with joy. I feel sorry about Amanda but she deserved it.

He hugged me back, cupped my face and kissed me. This time it was hot and intense. He was hungry for me, as I am for him. He released me after our burning kiss, only to move his lips to my neck.

I felt his breath into my skin, making me chills down my spine. He started to plant kisses into my collarbone. I moaned.

"God! I missed you." He whispered, then gave me another peck on the lips before starting the car's engine.

He chuckled when he saw me pouting.

"Let's go to the palace and talk to Caden. I really need to explain everything to him. I also want you to hear it. Then I will talk to grandpa and Kyle as well." He said.
