Chapter 79: 79: Bad Feeling

Lilac

"Please don’t tell me you’re seriously thinking about accepting that offer, that’s definitely not gonna lead to anything good," he instantly argued but I shook my head before exhaling.

I was on the fence on the issue anyway, but it wasn’t because of the fear of my own life, but because I want to protect him as well like he’s doing me.

"Anyways, why are you out here? Were you waiting for me?" I asked as I changed the subject, but Jake only laughed, clearly seeing right through me.

"Nice try, but that won’t work," he informed me. "Do you like him? Is that it?"

I pursed my lips for a few seconds. Do I like him? I think the answer should be obvious enough, I do like him. I actually like him a whole lot.

I didn’t end up responding, but apparently I don’t even need to because my facial expression already did the answering for me, because Jake let out a disbelieving huff while dialing his head.

" I don’t even know what to say," he finally pointed out and I let out a sigh as I shook my hair out oh my face again.

"How did it even happen? Last i remembered, you were very frightened at the thought of serving him, and now gourd saying you like him? That makes no saense to me, and I feel like you’re just not thinking straight."

I shook my head. "I knew you wouldn’t understand, Jake and that’s why I never tell you anything about it." I mumbled and hid lips thinned, a disappointed look across his face.

"So you’ve started liking him for a while?" He asked but when I didn’t respond, he took that as an answer and let out another sound of disbelief.

In he next moment, he glanced down at the shirt I had on.

"Is that the Prince’s shirt?" He asked and I glanced down at the shirt in question while feeling a smile tug at my lips while nodding.

"Uh.,. Yes."

He cocked his head. "So, you’re not having sex with the prince as well?"

I spluttered, my cheeks instantly reddening.

"T- that’s personal." I mumbled in response but he only huffed. I don’t know what he’d thinking about right now, but I just know that he isn’t pleased right now.

After a few moments, he pushed off the wall he was leaning against to let out a sigh as he shiver his haves into his pockets.

"Would you like to come somewhere with me?@ he suddenly asked smh my eyes widened as I blinked at him.

"Uh .,, right now?" I asked and he nodded.

"Yup. I wanna show something you you, that’s why I edited out here for you as well."

A curios frown settled over my face as I starrr at him. "What’s that?"

He grinned. "You’d see,"

"How far would we have to go?" I asked but he waved me off.

"Definitely not too far, we’d be back in no time." He assumed me and I nodded.

"Alright then." I finally responded and then we slipped out from the corner he had pulled me into in order to speak to me.

As we emerged in the wide compound of the slave quarters and as I glanced up at the sky, a bad feeling instantly settled over me, making me grow stiff at once, the frrrling felt like oil just got poured over my head right now.

I let out a sharp gasp and shook that feeling off, feeling extremely weirded out.

Jake was frowning at me as he asked. "What’s wrong?"

"Something just came over me, like a rally bad feeling. Dig you feel it as well?"

An unreadable expression crossed his face ax he shook his head.

"Definitely not. Are you sure you t felt anything? It cling just be your king playing tricks on you," he explained and I desperately want to believe his words, but I was also very certain of what I felt about a fee seconds ago.

I glanced up at the sky and that feeling returned to me again, making me feel even more creeped out:

When I turned to Jake this time, he looked worried and attempted to touch my fort head, but instinctively, I reared back.

When he stared at me like I had gone loco, I let out ab awkward chuckle and shook my head. "I think I just need rest."

He nodded as well. "I only wanted to check if you’re running a temperature." He explained and i instantly felt bad for pulling away like that. I touched my own forehead, there was no temperature at all.

"Let’s go, once we return, you’ll get more than enough sleep, then you should definitely feel like your normal self in the morning," he spoke and I began to nod ehen that bad, errs feeling settled in my stomach again, almost tooting mr in place.

"I- I think I want to head in right now," I finally muttered.

Jake didn’t look happy as he regarded me. "But I wanna doe you something, don’t you wanna see it?"

"Of course I do, I really wanna see it." I rushed to assure him. "But I feel so tired, so maybe by tomorrow?"

He didn’t look any happier and still tried getting me to change my mind. I understood his excitement to show me whatever it was that he wanted to show me, but that creepy feeling that kept coming over me was just too intense for me to ignore, and I didn’t even know where it was coming from.

After about ten minutes, I finally headed over to my dorm alone. Jake didn’t come with me, saying he’ll head out alone since I didn’t end up coming with him. I felt so bad, but there was nothing I could do about it and I’ve already promised myself to make it yo to him tomorrow.

When I got into my dorm and closed the door, I instantly froze, my back hitting the door and my eyes widening like saucers, because right on the bed across from mine, sat Jake, cross legged, reading a book.
