The love story of us (Part II)

Few days had past he still come here, and I still write for him every night.

He always has a smile on his face, but one day he come here with an unpleasant looking face.

He sat down in the stair, beside my portrait and told me

"Heriya, I need to go back to the capital. I was only on vacation here, to be honest I was supposedly going to stay here for about less that 3 days because I was invited in a ball, but I stay for more than two weeks because of you. I want to stay here for a bit more, if can forever. So, I must go but don't worry I'll come back very fast as if I haven't gone anywhere!"

he explained it to me, so I won't worry. I tried getting out of the painting so before he goes, I could at least be with him.

When I finally get out of the painting after many attempts, he was shocked.

The whole mansion changes to what he has seen when we first met.

He stands up and said,

"He- Heriya!" He hugged me and cry.

I feel weird, it's like I'm getting excited, my heart was racing very fast, and I can hear it clear. It's a new feeling for me.

"I erm build up my power, I think... I don't know what to like to explain this nor call it." I spoke.

He stopped hugging me and said,

"You don't need to explain, you came out of your portrait because you want to be with me, right?" His smile is pretty, I just nod at his question.

"To be honest, I don't really care if you have powers or something, I won't even care if you're a witch. If you ever are, I won't stay away from you. If others will try to kill you, I will even defend you and kill them!" He spoke in such a serious tone.

"But I'm not a witch." I responded to what he said. He giggled; I wiped his tears. I asked him

"Why do you cry so much?" He looked at me and said,

"Hmm I don't usually cry that much, for our first meet I was just... scared, I thought that the people I opened up to again will leave me." His ear suddenly turns red. I stare at him,

"Is that so. Why are your ears turning red?" I spoke and giggled.

He looked away breaking our eye contact and said,

"Th- That! It was just I'm not used speaking about this while facing you...".

I sat down on the stair and responded

"Does it feel weird? For me it does but I feel so so soo much happy right now" I looked at him with a big smile on my face.

After getting to know more about each other, He asked more about me.

"How long have you been stuck in your portrait or painting?" he asked.

"When your great great great grandfather was still young. Just a lot of years, I don't know how long I have been there." I responded.

He looked so surprise and said,

"That long?".

"Yes, that long. Oh, speaking of grandfather or something, you told me that you're from the capital- no, erm you're from the house of the Duke of Serine?" I asked in curiosity,

he responded with "Yep, you remembered?", "Of course, actually my ex-fiancé might be your ancestor or something..." I spoke and looked at the floor,

"you know, the more that I look at you the more that you remind me of him. Don't take that like a bad way, like I'm still in love with him or something! I never loved him; we both hate each other! I promise!" I continued.

He took my hand and assured me with his words.

"Don't worry, it's okay... It still kind of hurts... only a little? But it's all good!" he spoke and looked at me, I looked at him and asked,

"If you don't mind can you bring me your family book? Who knows maybe you two aren't related." He lay his head on my shoulder, and said,

"It's all good... next time I'll bring it".

I lift our hands and kiss his. I said to him

"I'm sorry, you told me you like me and I'm asking you to do this so I can know if you're related to that shit head..." His ears turned red, he said

"I told you it's all good, I don't really care. If that makes you happy then I'll do it-" I cut his words,

"It doesn't make me happy! Thinking about that prick makes me feel irritated!" I spoke.

He giggled and said,

"I see..."

We talked a lot and realized the night had already passed by.

He hurried to go back to the inn he was staying.

"Heriya! I'll be back, wait for me, okay?" he shouted as he run.

I giggled and shouted back

"Okay!"

"It's not like I can go anywhere anyway.." I whispered.
