The next day Abigail woke up and realized she had slept in her maid's clothes and was still hugging the pillow. She got out of her bed and smiled. She was already in her maid's clothes so why not visit the village again? She went into her parents chambers once again and had the same conversation with them as the day before. She then ran out of the palace with her cloak on. "This is to easy" She thought When she reached the village she started looking around for Luke. She didn't see him and started to get worried. Her face had disappointed written all across it. She started to go back to the palace when someone tapped on her shoulder. She turned around and saw the same man she had seen the night before. Her face light up with excitment. "Hello." She said. "Hello Princess Abigail." He bowed. "Shhh! I told you not to tell anyone!" "Oh lighten up Princess no one is listening to us." "And how do you know? What if someone heard you?! I better get back to the palace." She turns back around and hurrys in the direction of the palace. Luke hurries behind her. "No one heard us will you get off your high horse. Your not in the palace anymore your in proverty land where men and women die everyday because of your Father. The last thing that is on their mind is you." Abigail turns around and slaps him. She starts off again not caring if she ever speaks to him again. "Oh come on Abigail I didn't mean it." He grabs her arm and pulls her towards him as if he were to kiss her. "Come with me to my house, no one will look for a Princess there." Although she really didn't want to go with him she went anyway. He was just to gourous to not give into. As she followed him she wondered what him intentions were. They couldn't be pure, could they? They finally arrived at a small cottage surrounded by nothing but grass. He lead her in the cottage. It was small but very nice, nicer then she thought. "Where is your wife?" She asked "I don't have a wife, I live here by myself." "Oh, you have servants?" "No, unlike some people I can't afford people to clean my house. I do it myself." Abigail trys to keep from laughing. "What's so funny?" "Oh nothing" "What?" He goes over to her, alittle to close, but she likes it. "I never would of thought that you were such a good house keeper." He leans into kiss her lips, she wants 2 say no because of what he said about her Father earlier but she hadn't the strength to. They kissed, it was so sweet, she had never been kissed before but she knew she liked it. They then made their way over to his bed and laid down. He then started 2 unlace her dress, and She started to take his shirt off. "What am I doing?!" Abigail thought. She stopped and pushed him away from her. She got up and paced the room. "I can't do this. I'm only 16 and we are not married." She said to him. "I'm only 18, and why does it matter if we are not married?" "Do you love me?" "WHAT?!" "Do you love me?" She looked him straight in the eyes. "How can I love you? I don't know you." She nods her head almost in tears. "I see." She grabs her cloak and puts it on. "Goodbye Luke." She walks out and starts for the palace crying the whole way there. "Do you love me? How could I be so dumb he doesn't even know me!" She thought the whole way to the palace. She went straight to her bedroom once again and cried herself to sleep. After that day at Luke's she hadn't gone to the Village in almost a month. She was to embarrassed to show her face. At the same time Luke was beating up on himself for kissing her. He knew he couldn't very well pound on the palace doors demanding to see Abigail so he waited for the day when she would return to the village. One day Abigail got up enough courage to go back to the village. She did the same as she did the other two days and started looking for Luke. She then realized that she shouldn't look desperate and gave up on looking for Luke. Luke wasn't expecting to see Abigail ever again so he moved on to other women. He was talking to one girl who had her breast half way out and looked as if she hadn't taken a bath for years. Luke was talking to her and adding his charm. He touched her face softly and sweet talked her. Abigail saw Luke and this girl and got upset. She didn't know what to do. Her and Luke weren't official so she shouldn't make a scene. She then grabbed the best looking man she could found and started to push herself on him hoping Luke would noticed. He didn't so she took the man down the street and made him "accidently" bump into Luke. Neither of them looked back at him but she knew he was looking. Luke then came up next to her. "Why Abigail! I havn't seen you in ages how are you?"Luke said. "I'm fine, have you met..." "Scott" The man she grabbed said. "Nice to meet you Scott, are you Abigail's husband? You know she won't kiss you if your not" She got mad and stomped away. Luke, as usual ran after her. "Oh Abigail you know I was only kidding." "Were you? I hadn't noticed." "Look Abigail, I've missed you, and I've thought a lot about you." "But Luke, you don't even know me!" "Abigail stop with the smart remarks! I'm trying to say I'm sorry here and all you can do is make fun!" "I'm sorry Luke. It's just when I saw you with that girl, I lost it." "Don't worry about her, your the only girl I want to be with. If you'll have me that is." "Of course I will" She smiles and they kiss. They spend the day together untill she has to go back to the palace. "Could this be real? Do I actually have a man? A perfect handsome man?" She thought to herself. Everytime they parted their hearts couldn't take it. And they told each other everytime as well. They were falling inlove. This love was a secret and Abigail hoped her parents would never find out. Although her parents never paid much attention to her they were very over protective. After all she is their only child and has to take over the thrown some day.
