Love Me As I Am novel Chapter 38

Luke POV

I walk into my room after speaking with Laura and the first thing i see is my dad sitting on the couch in my room.

"Dad, what are you doing here?" I ask, feeling more confused than ever.

"I came to see you privately," He says, "And what exactly is it that you want to talk about?" I ask and he inhales.

"The wedding is coming up on Sunday" he says and I freeze, "What did you just say?" I ask, trying my best not to stutter.

"I just needed to tell you personally, the queen will inform Anne," he says, "Dad please, not now, at least let both of us fall in love before you make any damn decision," I almost yelled, I feel anger boiling in my body right now.

I know that I wanted to do this before but now, it feels wrong.

"I know how you feel, but I am not the one who chose the date, it was all the Queen's decision," he says, for a point I believe him but am still angry.

"I understand," I blurt between my teeth. I should just breathe, breathing helps.

He stands up and makes his way towards me. He pats my back and it felt suiting. I think this is the closest he has been to me since mom died. He smiles at me before he walks out of the room with his smile still plastered on his face.

I groan and lay on the bed facing the ceiling, my eyes closed and my hands rubbing my eyes, another way to make me feel at ease.

I'm the one who put myself into this, I wanted to do it before but now I can't but I still have to. I shouldn't be selfish, the orphanage needs the benefits of what am about to do. And Laura been an orphan is another reason holding me in my decision. I don't know what to do anymore.

Laura POV

After what seems like hours for our training stuffs. Anne let's me go, I quickly thank her and walk to my bedroom, slammed the door behind me and land on the bed dragging my phone in the process.

I stare at my phone and my eyes drifts to the time.

Geez! It's four already.

I quickly send a text to Gabriel and run to my closet moving around to find a comfortable, yet beautiful clothing.

I pick a short floral white gown and a jacket to fit. I quickly slip out of my clothes and run into the bathroom.

Yeah! I know that I just had a shower in the last two or three hours but we are going out and I don't want be stinky when am on a outing. Well, come to think of it, am not supposed to be going out with them, am the maid right?

I should stay at back and take care of the house but instead they treat me like family.
