If I do, I’m certain that it would end up being a gigantic mess that I don’t know if I am prepared for.

“Where are you going?” She asks me softly, her voice a little husky, like she is trying to think about what she is going to do.

“I have to go and get ready to make sure that I’m going to be able to properly ask your dad for me to court you.” I explain to her, trying to make sure that everything will be okay, “because I know that I’m going to have to have his approval before anything else.”

The realization appears in her eyes and she nods her head, “You’re right. I want to make sure that we’re going to be one. I don’t want him anywhere near you though. Just promise me that you will make those girls leave you alone.”

Her jealousy is cute, making me smile as I look down at her, “of course. There is no way that I would let anyone near me like that. I’m not that kind of person, and I know that I want you more than anything else. I don’t care what comes from it.”

I can’t believe that I’m feeling this way, this intense feeling building within me as I realize that soon enough, she is going to be mine. There’s no way that I’m going to let her go because if I did, I knew that I would regret it.

And regretting it is not something that I’m going to be able to do. Not when I know that she is everything that I need and then some. Something tells me that the minute that we finally get to have one another, we won’t stop.

I know that I can’t stop because I care about her so much.

“I will see you soon.” I promise her, hoping that it is going to be okay, “Just wait for me.”

I don’t know what else is going to happen but I did know that it was going to be alright. I’m more worried about the future, seeing how it could easily blow up in my face if I do this the wrong way.

But I don’t think that I’m going to care too much about it.

Not when I know that I will be able to fully make her mine and not care about anything else.

Chapter Six

Rowena

I don’t know when Oakley is going to get here but I’m feeling a little anxious. Dad and mom are having breakfast right now and I’m certain that we are going to have a wonderful time. I couldn’t be sure but I’m thinking that Oakley is going to manage to win my dad over.

“Sir, there is a person here to see Rowena and you.” One of the guards suddenly states, making me look up eagerly because I already know it is going to be Oakley, “He wouldn’t take no for an answer.”

Dad looks at me and I’m almost certain that he has already figured out who is here, “bring him in, I guess that I’m going to have to give him a chance to say his piece.”

I smile, unable to help myself as the guard walks away to do so, and not even a little bit later, I see Oakley walking towards us. He is looking as perfect as ever, making me smile because I knew that it was going to be alright.

I guess he’s going to end up winning Dad over and possibly Mom but it is going to happen one way or another. I couldn’t besure but I did know that I wasn’t going to let anything stand in the way of what I wanted. I’m not certain but I’m trying to decide what I’m going to do.

Licking my bottom lip, I notice how Oakley comes towards me, reaching out and taking my hand to bring it to his lips. He is being soft and sweet, a glimmer in his eyes that makes my heart skip a beat.

I couldn’t be sure what was going to happen here but I did know that I’m excited to be his. I didn’t want to let it go because I knew that I would regret it and I didn’t want to live with any regrets. I just hope that it’s not going to ruin anything else.

Or at least that's what I’m hoping for.

Something tells me that it isn’t going to be easy.

“Hello, sir.” Oakley murmurs, turning his attention to mom and Dad, a small smile appearing on his face as he is making sure that he is going to get all of the proper attention, “I don’t think we have been formally introduced. My name is Oakley.”

“Yes, I know who you are.” Dad murmurs coldly, eyeing Oakley a little bit, “You are the Rogue are you not?”

Oakley’s expression doesn’t waver as he smiles, “Yes, I guess that I am although I did become a Rogue willingly and not for the worst reasons unlike other people. That much I can assure you of.”

Dad’s expression doesn’t waver as he watches Oakley, “what do you mean by that? I would have thought that a Rogue can only happen if the person does something bad.”

“I didn’t like the policies that my people were trying to inflict, and treating other people like garbage just because they were not a dragon.” Oakley explains, and I can see that Dad is a little more intrigued right now, “that is the only reason why I became a Rogue.”

“Wow, that is pretty messed up.” Dad murmurs, and I can tell that he is now realizing what is happening here, “I would havenever guessed that. I’m sorry for judging you before realizing that was your situation. It makes me feel kind of shitty.”

“It’s fine.” Oakley murmurs, and he turns to look at me, “You don’t have to worry about that. I’m a little used to it and truthfully, it doesn’t bother me anymore. I know what kind of person I am and I’m not going to let the past affect me now.”
