Love Me As I Am novel Chapter 29

"Come in already," Luke said impatiently.

"I can't swim," I pouted.

"Come in, I'll teach you."

"Won't I drown?"

"Aren't I here to save you," He smirked and I rolled my eyes.

"Just come in," He ordered and I slowly took steps towards the pool.

Before I could muster courage for me to jump in he dragged me in.

I felt as the water splashed on my body partly from the pull but the rest from Luke.

I admit I was scared.

I mean, it's my first time I ought to be scared right.

"What was that for?"

"You wasted a lot of time so I just had to help you," He laughed.

"I just met you today and you are already been.. I don't even know what to call you and besides aren't you engaged with princess Anne so you better watch the way you behave when you are with me," I frowned.

"Okay for starters I am just making new friends and she won't care less," He shrugged.

"Okay what's up, you both are acting like you don't love each other," I asked.

"Cause we don't, our marriage is just a contract or so signed by my dad and the queen to help in orphanage in some other ways, my dad and the queen are very close and they could have just made an agreement without involving me but I am sure it was my dad's idea," He said.

"Why do you say that?" I asked.

"Never mind that," He said.

"Maybe, the queen wanted her daughter to get married to a responsible person and your dad wanted you to get married to a girl from a humble background or so," I explained.

"Yeah I guess, but he could have ask first. It doesn't matter anyway, I'll just follow his plans," He said.

"Okay but do you think that Princess Anne likes someone," I said.

"I don't really know," He said.

"Oh, what about you?" I asked.

"I did but not anymore, I have to get rid of my feelings if I want the marriage to work," He said.

"And how is that going?" I asked.

"Not working at all, except for she has been avoiding me, she's trying all her best to get over me but I can't get over her," He said with his hands moving in the water.

"It's not like we dated or anything, but I just started loving Sandra since we were little," He said and I froze.

"Wait, did you say Sandra?" I asked surprised.

"Yeah, she's the one I can't get over I guess, and she's gonna leave soon and that's why you're here to take over after she teaches you skills," He said as he dripped his head into the water and brought it out in some seconds.

"Oh look at you now aren't you swimming," He said and I gasped and he suddenly laughed.

"The pool isn't deep," said.

He's a little bit like Gabriel.

Why does he always come into my mind.

What the heck is wrong with me.

"it doesn't matter," I rolled my eyes.
