The Dragon Prince's Forbidden Affair novel Chapter 11

"I'm not talking about Arma! See you're still thinking about the lie she told you! I just want to move past it!"

"Fuck, You're the one not letting us! You wouldn't be asked whether I trust you if you weren't thinking about what she said!"

Lexus hung up. "Congratulations, your third eye can see onto the physical plane. He was yelling like you saw. That must mean I can't doubt Konn's claim that you do have intuition too. What are you getting from me?" He leaned closer.

My heart was slamming against my chest. I thought about what I was feeling from him then said it without thinking, "You're hiding yourself."

He leaned back. "What?" He wasn't expecting me to say that. "Hiding myself?" He rolled his eyes. "Funny, I guess all your abilities aren't very accurate yet." He stood up. "You should be keeping time, I'm sure the fifteen minutes are up."

He said he was capable and now he's blaming me, great. I got up and followed him to his piano class. I sat down in the back while he sat at a piano in the front with his instructor. I knew I wasn't wrong; Lexus was hiding himself, but I wasn't sure in what way yet. As I watched him play the sound made me relaxed. I knew he wasn't playing for me, obviously he was playing for his instructor. He kept glancing at me, so it made me think maybe the music was supposed to reach me.

After an hour the lesson was over, and we walked out the room. "How long have you played for?"

Lexus sighed. "Since I was eight," he answered. "My parents thought it was classy, so classy I've been playing at every ball we've hosted since I was twelve." He didn't seem proud, his sentence almost seemed rehearsed.

"I played the violin once in elementary school," I started to share my experience. "It was boring, and I barely liked it, but the school required us to learn an instrument."

Lexus looked to the side without turning his head. "Are you expecting me to say that's how I feel about the piano? You want me to open up to you about how I secretly hate it?" That's not what I was thinking at all. "Then it'll fill your fantasy that I'm hiding myself?" He looked down at me. "Is that it?" He was still upset over my intuition that he was hiding himself.

I exhaled. "No, I was just having a conversation." I mumbled out of annoyance. "I actually ended up loving the violin when I hyper fixated on it three years ago. I didn't feel good about it when I was little but now, I look back at the memory fondly. I'm glad I learned because it made it easier when I was older since I remembered the basics." We sat down in the same window seats as before. I looked at the king and queen as they walked past us while talking to guards. "Are they-"

"You could go." Lexus interrupted my question. "I got an email that my professor is canceling my last class of the day. The rest of my day is free, and I don't need you to do anything else for me."

"Would you let Cade go?" I asked. I wanted to do my job right, the same way Cade would but Lexus wasn't letting me.

Lexus stared out the window. "I wouldn't because we're friends, we'd just hangout unless he had plans with Vella."

"Was Vella the last girl?" After I heard Cade's argument with Vella and Vella was avoiding Sadia. Him threatening Vella and not me made sense. He'd threaten her because he wouldn't want his best friend knowing he slept with his girlfriend.
