Arabelle was quite confused at this sudden change of mood. What did I do? She thought to herself. She tried to figure it out, but she simply couldn't. "What's wrong? I don't understand.."

Goodwin blushed as he looked up at Arabelle. "I can't... I can't be having these... feelings for you... holding you that way." he was struggling to find the words. He was quite confused himself.

Arabelle looked at him, understanding somewhat. "Oh, Goodwin, it's alright." She walked over to him and softly placed her hand on his cheek. "Really, it's okay.."

Goodwin grabbed Arabelle's arm and moved it away from his cheek. The look on his face seemed conflicted. "Even if you say it's ok..." Goodwin struggled to speak these words, "it's not... the kingdom... it won't be allowed." he looked into Arabelle's eyes and then back down to the ground.

Arabelle began to cry...She couldn't help herself, her feelings were way out of control at the moment. She ran from the room and headed towards the stables their horses were in.

Goodwin darted after Arabelle and caught up to her with some difficulty. Goodwin was perhaps the most talented of the squires in their kingdom, and Arabelle was fast, even for him. He grabbed her by her sholder and pulled her into his arms. "Please..." he said softly as a tear ran down his face. "I know it's hard for you... but... it is for me too." he tightened his embrace. "I'd fight an entire army for you... but can I honestly defile your royal reputation with my foolish ambitions?"

Arabelle cried in his arms once more. Slowly she calmed down. She breathed in deeply, taking in his scent before speaking. "I don't care about my reputation, let them think what they will, what I do care about is you. I just want to be with you, I want you to never let me go..." She tried to pull away after that, a little embarrassed by saying what she just had said.

Goodwin blushed and wouldn't release Arabelle. Instead he held her closer and kissed her on the cheek, whispering, "Then i'll never let you go."

((Wow, that was a really good job. Exactly what I wanted.))
Arabelle no longer struggled, but held him as closely as he held her. Her skin tingled from his swift kiss and she nearly shivered. No one had ever been that close to her before, and no male had ever kissed her cheek.

((glad u liked it mrgreen ))
Goodwin released her, and held her hand, leading her back into the room. "Let's try not to make a scene." he whispered as they approached their door. He didn't want any of the villagers to recognize Arabelle.

She softly followed him into the room.
((I have to go to bed now, before I keel over from exaustion. I have a little writers block right now anyway, but it's nothing a good night's sleep won't cure.))

Goodwin lead them back to the room and opened the door lightly, then let Arabelle step inside. He closed the door behind them after glancing up and down the hall.

Arabelle thought of something and locked the door behind them, "I just don't want any surprises. It's best to be cautious." She moved to him and placed her head on his shoulder, "I'm just scared, is all."

Goodwin placed his arm around Arabelle. "It's okay to be scared." he said softly. "But everything is okay right now."

Arabelle smiled softly and looked him straight in the eye. She had wanted to say something, but her thoughts were inturupted, yet again, by a loud knock on the door.
