Tale of Stolen Hearts

Who's there?

I really got worried. The Queen's room is located so high above, and with the 24/7 security it's almost impossible for someone to climb up till here. And then as I woke up from bed, I felt that tingling in my stomach again and I bet it's him. I went up to check on the window and as I lifted up the pane, there was no one.

Maybe it's just my imagination? But how could I have heard that knock… I kept looking out but no one was there. I don't know but I felt slightly disappointed. I don't know why. As I turned around to go back to bed, I saw him. And I gave him a little smirk. "How did you enter?" I asked him out of astonishment and he said calmly, "After that jump, don't you think it's possible for me to do anything and everything?" He said, passing me a devilish smirk.

I said, "Maybe, maybe not. But why are you here? And you know if someone caught you here, what would happen to you?"

"Well, aren't you the Almighty Queen? Won't you save me from any death sentences?" He said sitting on my bed playfully.

"Oh? Why should I? You're a complete no one to me, why would I save you?"...

He said with that smile, "If I were a stranger why would you look disappointed when you couldn't find me out of that window?"

I had no answer to it to be honest. Why was I disappointed? Was I really expecting him? And if so, why? I don't even know him…

"That's what. You don't even know me, still you expected me to be hanging out of your window! XD" he said laughing. And, his laugh was the sweetest laugh my eyes had ever witnessed, and not to forget he was the most handsome man I had ever seen.

"Most handsome you say?" He said laying back on my bed. "Wait! What? How could you-?" I asked him. And he just said, "OH, it's written all over your face."

Wait. But how is that possible? Maybe… he is just good at reading expressions. Even I could make out what the other person was thinking by looking at them but it was his mind that I could never figure out. I said with seriousness, "Who are you?" And he answered, "You really don't know me mate?".

I truly had no idea who this man was but I had to say there was something about him that always made me feel attracted to him. As if two magnets trying to come as close as they could. And, why did he call me 'mate'? First love, then mate… what's going on.

I was lost in my thoughts and he said," Your bed's so soft. Mhmmm… I could lay here and watch your beautiful face all day." He said, smiling while still laying on my bed.

"What's your name mate?" I asked him, giving him a flirtatious look and he said, "So you finally figured out who I am?!" He said that so happily that I said, "Yes."

He woke up and took my hands and said, "So when do you plan on going home?" I had no idea what he was talking about but I was bored. I had nothing to do anyways so I said to him, "What about right now love?"

His smile was so big and said, "Let's go."

He was taking my hand and leaving the room when I pulled my hand back. "Excuse me Mr.! Who do you think you are?! You don't tell me your name, your anything, all of a sudden started calling me 'love', 'mate'! What are you playing at?! You know that I can sentence people to death who exploit the laws of the country and you're not supposed to be even here! And above all, stop being so mysterious! What's wrong with you?!" And with that, I let it all out. He was just about to say something that I saw the door of my room unlock. It was Alexander.

"Helena? Why aren't you asleep yet? It's very important to have healthy sleep to maintain beauty. Didn't you know about this?" Said Alexander standing on the door.

"Umm, why are you here? Did you want something?" I asked hesitatingly. He said, "No, I thought you were talking to someone…"

"Oh no. I was just talking to myself" and gave him a weird smile.

He said, "Oh, Okay! If you want anything I am right here." And with that he left. I took a sigh of relief and looked around to see where he hid. I didn't even know his name so I couldn't even call out to him. I said, "You can come out…" There was absolutely no response and the window was open. I figured he must have gone now. I don't know why but I was slightly dissatisfied. I have no idea why.

And I went back to sleep. His thoughts kept me awake for a long time. How he reached here, how he kissed me, how he just disappeared as if he vanished into the thin air… him jumping off from such tall buildings with no scratch, this all didn't make any sense. How? I soon drifted off to sleep. And I dreamt of us kissing. It was such a passionate kiss that I was even flustered after dreaming about it. It was ridiculous and I kept waking up. I couldn't sleep at all. His thoughts kept me wide awake.

I was tossing and turning around the bed when I heard, "Aren't you tired of thinking of me?" I was so scared I said, "Who's THERE?!" I looked all around and even saw under the bed, no one was there. I bet it's his voice. Must be playing with me again! "Come out you coward!" But there was no one. As if it never happened. Maybe I'm imagining things? Uff, too much. Stop thinking Helena! And let's go to bed.
