The Stables
Whit's Point of View
" God…I'm so stupid …"
I just got back from working at Daku's palace. Why didn't I tell him that I love him?Why did I walk off like that? I could hear him crying from inside while I was walking out…poor baby. What have I done?
" Whit, are you alright? You're not acting like yourself,"
" Yes, Mother. I'm fine,"
" And I've been meaning to ask you,why have you been out for so many hours of the day for the past few weeks? "
I froze.
" I um, I got a job,"
" A job where?"
I was hoping she wouldn't ask…
" Um, the market…"
" The market? But I thought you already had a job? At the horse stables?"
I forgot …I have two jobs. One's at Daku's palace, and the other one, the one that I've had for longer , is at the horse stables. I'm the guy who cleans the stables out and test rides new horses and stuff like that. I've been sneaking a horse out to go to the dark side because the stables are very close to the border.
"I, just wanted to make extra money …"
" Ok,"
She was obviously suspicious of me.
I went back to thinking about Daku. He's so handsome…and kind…and won't kill me because of the magic I use…
" …Why would I hurt him like that…"
" Whit, stop mumbling."
" Oh, yeah. Sorry. "
I have to go to the stables after leaving the palace, so I left.
Once I arrived, my boss, Angela, walked up to me.
"You're late."
"I know, I had to stay for extra time at my Uh, my second job,"
" You don't have a second job,"
"I do now,"
" Whatever. Go clean stables ,and make sure the place is tidy. There's a magically powerful and rich woman coming from another land to buy a horse for her carriage."
" Ok, got that,"
Who might that be? Whatever.
The whole time I was working I was thinking about Daku. I miss him…he's probably still upset. I love him…I really love Daku…I wish he knew that…
"…Daku…"
" Whit!! Stop mumbling about some guy named 'Daku'!! You've been confessing your love for them for the past thirty minutes!!"
" Oh, I have been? Sorry, Angela,"
I hope I hadn't said too much…
Daku's Point of View
I was bawling in my room for an hour and a half. I couldn't stop thinking of how Whit doesn't love me, and how he never will.
I had an idea.
He said that he works at horse stables that are just over the border of the two sides. My palace is close to the border, and I found a spell that can turn your eyes a different colour, kind of like the one Whit uses, but the dark magic version of it. I can go over to his side.
I used the spell on myself, and I changed my eyes to grey because grey is supposed to be the most common eye colour on their side.
I used another spell to make my clothes look like a commoners clothing, and white. It was easy using dark magic.
I made my changes, and then I went strong to the border.
The border is set with a spell to keep anyone from crossing it. Whit never told me how he crossed it, but I just crossed it using another spell. It was harder that time, but I expected as much.
I took a breath before crossing, I was nervous to see Whit. I hadn't planned what I was gonna say, but I'll give it a try. It's worth a shot because I need his love in my life; if there's any chance he'll be mine by the end of the conversation, I'll do it.
I arrived at the stables.
" Whit? Whit , are you in there?"
" You're lookin' for Whit? "
There was a woman there.
" Y-yeah, where is he?"
" He's in the back. Who are you, anyways?"
" Oh, my name is Daku,"
"You're THE Daku? He's been mumbling his love for you for an hour! I told him to stop after 30 minutes, but he continued!!"
That gave me confidence in talking to him again.
" W-what?!"
" He's back here,"She pointed to the stable building.
" O-ok,"
I went to the stable building.
" Daku? H-How'd you find me?"
" the same way you found me, some woman told me that you were talking about me,"
" Angela told you that? What did she say?!?!"
" She said- " I bit my lower lip. " that you love me,"
" oh, I do," he said with a satisfied voice.
" Just kiss me already,"
I kissed him again, and it felt, so good…
" I love you, Daku, I'll always love you,"
" me too, my love,"I pulled him in, and kissed him again. I put my hand on his lower back while kissing him.
"About what I said earlier , I didn't mean it…i don't care that we're from different sides, and I don't want you to find someone else,I want you to love me,"
" I hope you do, because I will love you,"
" Is that a promise?"
" Of course it is,
We kissed.
" So are you like, my boyfriend now or something ?"
" I think you know the answer, " I kissed him again.
" I love you Daku, " he kissed me. " so much,"
We kissed again.
He's my boyfriend…I can't believe he's actually my boyfriend!! I love him so much!! But, my arranged marriage …
We kept kissing.
"Stop making out in my stables, go somewhere else please," It was the same lady that told me that Whit loves me.
" Angela, where'd you come from!! How long have you been there for?"
" A few minutes. I just thought I'd stop you before you did anything spicy in my stables,"
" Angela, "
" Fine, I'll let you two do your thing…just don't , y'know…"
" ANGELA!!"
" Oh, yep, sorry, I best be on my way, don't have too much fun,"
She left.
" Sorry, Daku. That's Angela , my boss. She's like that sometimes…"
" I don't care,"I kissed him again.
" I said stop makin' out in my stables!!"
" ANGELA!!" Both of us said.
" Ok, sorry boys."
She left, for real this time.
" I'm sorry Daku, I didn't think your boss could be your stalking third wheel-mhm!!"
I kissed him. I started kissing up his neck, when we heard a voice, one that was not Angela's.
" If you don't mind , I'm here to buy a horse. Not to see you, hm, doing lover things." It was some rich lady.
Whit and I separated.
"Oh!! I wasn't expecting you to be here this early!!I'm Angela," Angela came back. She must use some kind of portal spell or something …
" I don't care who you are , Angela!! I need a horse!!"
" Oh , yes!! We have a few!! Whit!! You can take the rest of the day off!!"
" Ok, thanks Angela!! C'mon, Daku!!"
He grabbed my hand and started running.
