King Khalil's Doll

Chapter 12: Surprise Kiss

"I am sorry, Prince Khalil, it was a mistake, please forgive me, I promise I wouldn't do it again," Crystal screamed at the top of his voice.

This time, Khalil is so damn mad at her, and will not listen to anything she has to say.

"Come here, Crystal, how dare you call me a troll, you ugly witch," he spat in annoyance.

Once more, Khalil had grabbed the rod in his hands ready to flog the hell out of Crystal.

One thing she hates is disrespect, especially when the person is aware of it, yet still, go ahead doing the same thing.

No, unless he beats her, he wouldn't be contented because he had warned her.

Grabbing the cane firmly, he approached Crystal, which caused her to skip from the bed, retracing as fast as her legs could carry her.

There is no doubt that Crystal is afraid of the whip, yet she keeps doing things that will offend Khalil even more.

Prince Khalil didn't give up yet, he wanted to instinct fear in this lady's mind, the earlier the better, and unless he does so, it wouldn't be good for him.

Following Crystal with the rod, he heard how she screamed at the top of her voice.

"Please, stop! don't let the rod hit me, I might collapse," she mouthed crying already.

Khalil's expression was blunt, he pretended like he didn't know what was going on, so it just made things slack a little.

Approaching Crystal, she stepped behind trying his best to hide away from him. It was that difficult because the young man was gaining ground, especially with the rod in his hands.

"After this day, I bet you would never call me camel or even try anything foolish with me. Especially when the whip has given uncountable scars on your body," he blurred out.

Crystal's eyes widened, this time, she saw the expression on Khalil's face, and it didn't show like he was bluffing, meaning he would actually do what he threatened to.

"Please, I said I am sorry, believe me, such things wouldn't happen again, never," she cried out loud.

At this point, Crystal's back came in contact with the wall. She felt entrapped and knew that it was the end game, especially when Khalil gained ground on her.

Withing three long strides, Khalil stood in front of Crystal the rod in his hand and he was ready to strike her with it.

The fear scribbled in Crystal's eyes was evident, she knew she was as good as A dead, so she closed her eyes once more waiting for it.

Prince Khalil looked at how Crustal had shut her eyes, just like before, her beauty was so attractive, he felt like a force pulling him to her, especially towards her lips.

Deep in Khalil's mind, he knows that he cannot use the rod on the lady, no, that will be pure cruelty, but then, she can pay in another, at least, the full force of his lips were seriously pulling her to him.

Khalil seemed a little nervous, but this was an opportunity had to grab, at least if it was going to be only this once.

Instantly, he grabbed dropped the rod on the floor, and in a slow movement, advanced slowly to match his lips against Crystal's own.

The tingling sensation caused Crystal to panic, she had not expected that to happen, in fact, it was more like a blow to her.

Even though the effect was devastating, Crystal tried her best to keep her calm and slowly disentangle herself.

She wriggled away from him, it caused Khalil to be conscious and separate himself from her instantly.

Crystal expected an apology for what happened, and her face was all red that that of a tomato.

"Why did you do that?" she inquired.

Crystal's face was filled with shock, she couldn't even believe that she had shared her first kiss with a man she barely knows, a prince. She thought achingly.

Just the thought of it made Crystal's heart want to explode.

Gradually, she lifted he hands, bringing them slowly towards her lips. She touched it lightly, feeling the fact that Prince Khalil's lips had just touched hers, she couldn't believe her eyes.

"That's crazy, I mean the kiss was awkward," Khalil blurted out.

He felt that tingling sensation too, it had to stroke him like a thunderbolt.

Looking at the lady who stood at the corner, mesmerized by the fact of what happened is enough to make him want to cackle, like seriously, he had definitely not planned to kiss Crystal.

It just happened, and it's not a bad thing. The picture will forever be engraved in his memory as he could not imagine how he just managed to share his first kiss with his captive.

That is really crazy.

As he started laughing, he discovered that Crystal didn't find it funny, in fact, it was her time to swell up in anger, wishing she had a weapon she could actually use to hit his head with it.

When he giggled too much, Crystal had to stop him, seriously.

"Stop laughing, I don't find this funny, not the least," Crystal mouthed in annoyance.

Her little mouth which she pouted out only made Khalil was to chuckle, even more, he needed to.

Seeing Crystal's angry contours, prince Khalil thought it wise to stop, she actually had a reason to stop it.

Sighing, he struggled to put up a mean and straight face, especially one that wouldn't provoke Crystal, and as he did so, it only ended up in a mess as he burst out laughing, finding it extremely funny.

The anger that boiled in Crystal's mind was beyond reach, head the urge to punch him all over his body, to slap him, or even more, to hurt him. But then, she realized that it is kind of a difficult task, she will be unable to do that, at least not now when he would be probably monitoring her every move.

"Why are laughing huh? tell me, what is that which is funny?" she shot raising a brow at him.

Khalil didn't want to answer, but then he knew that she would bug his life until he answers it, so the only choice he had left was to spit the truth out.

"Alright, fine, I will tell you what is funny," he said staring at Crystal.

"What? tell me please, maybe I can join in it too," she spat sarcastically.

Prince Khalil knew at once that it was the best time to shoot at him, so, he didn't waste the time to serve her the bit of information that she needed.

"What is funny is the fact that we are even now," he explained.

Crystal raised her brows in frustration, she didn't seem to understand what he said, it is kind of confusing, so raising another question, she hoped for a better understanding, one that wouldn't bring any drama to comprehend it.

"Excuse me? what do you mean we are even now? were we beefing before?" she inquired in total awe, struck by the fact that she could not understand what was going on there.

Prince Khalil was tired of foul plays, he cleared his throat, allowing her the chance to answer his question because she needed it.

Actually, she had not noticed that Khalil was just playing her game, she started it, and now that he was the one who was in charge, leading the game, she is annoyed. Like seriously, it isn't a fair game from his point of view at all.

Clearing his throat, Prince Khalil started narrating what was actually going on.

"Crystal, do you know how many times I've warned you to stop calling me Camel? no, you don't, you still open your largemouth calling me whatever you want because you think it makes you happy right? well, you are not the only one who can act that way. I tell you now, two can play that game and I bet you, I will come out victorious, I will definitely win you now just now, but whenever we try playing it, especially when you attempt doing it," he spat.

The lady's mouth was ajar, it felt like she was dreaming, especially when a man like Prince Khalil had muttered such a thing.

Crystal remained stuck to the ground, she could barely feel her feet in the ground, as the chilled breezed penetrating from the open windows chilled her cheeks with it.

Like seriously, this is something that Crystal only did to provoke the prince, and It is now turning into a fun game, where they will have to fight against one another. Not physical fighting, but then, verbally, exchanging words against words.

If that is the case, that means I have been cheated, Khalil had used his body language to communicate with me, and there is no way ever on Earth that we are going to call it a verbal fight, not when he used his lips.

"You cheated, Mr. Prince, how on Earth can I call you "Camel" and you turn around to kiss me? that's not fair, besides you are a bad kisser," she shot.

Prince Khalil opened his mouth to talk, but suddenly shut it up when he heard what the lady had just said.

Raising a brow quizically at him, he asked in a ragged voice his anger starting to rise.

"What? how on Earth can you say I am a bad kisser? your lips were sour in the first place," he retorted.

His words also took Crystal as a blow, she didn't understand the meaning of what he just said, and thought he meant that her mouth was smelling.

"Why did you kiss me then?" she inquired.

"To pay you back with your very coins, Crystal," he replied.
