The Crown Prince's Love

"I... I"

"what the hell is happening here!" Ariel shouted as she walked from opposite the building. She stepped closer to us and then laughed. "I refused to believe that this is happening!"

I sighed again, knowing the criticism would never end, no matter how hard we tried. We have always faced backlash from those around us. "Randy," I wanted to push him from my lap, but he remained seated and unmoved. His attitude shocked me, and I wondered why he would act like that, but he didn't. Instead, he wrapped his arms around my neck.

"I have to tell you, Ariel, that the news you saw about me and Desmond was all a lie. Desmond would always be my boyfriend, no matter what happened. Even if I tried to deny it, I would only be lying to myself because Desmond and I had been fated since we were kids, and nothing else can change that," Randy told her and turned to look at me. "I love him."

My heart swelled just by hearing that, and it made me smile as I stared into his eyes.

"I am tired of running away and pretending as if he is not my love, but he is, and no matter what others have to say against us, it won't change the real fact that Desmond is my boyfriend."

"how could you do this to me? You announced that you were not gay and said you were going to get married to me. I am your wife to be, and you are not supposed to treat me like this!" she yelled.

I thought now was the time to speak up as looked up to face her. "Randy is my man, no matter what anyone says, we will be together forever. I acted like a child because I believed Randy wouldn't be able to survive the criticism, and just like he said, I was also tired of running. Randy is mine!" I said the last word possesively to ensure she understood that he was only mine.

"I am going to make sure that you both regret this, and I will make you see how you shouldn't have cheated me!" she yelled at us and then walked away.

Randy looked at me and kissed my head.noveldrama

"we are going to be fine," he assured me, and I nodded in response.

I truly believed that no matter what happened, we would be okay regardless of what others had to say about us.

John and Ana clapped their hands as they walked towards us. None of them said anything, but I knew they were genuinely happy for us, and I was glad that not even Ana had anything against us.

Randy and I spent the night in each other's arms, just talking about the things we missed about each other, and we only slept in the early mornings.

The presentation day arrived as quickly as it should, and my heart started thumping again when it got our turn to present. If not for Randy's hand on my shoulder, I wouldn't have been able to say anything. Even Ariel was present when I didn't expect she would be, and when it got to her turn to speak up, she looked at Randy and me.

I would have been scared of her revealing our secrets in the past, but I wasn't, instead, I held Randy's hand tighter against mine.

"I have something to reveal to everyone!" she shouted, and I knew what would come after that. She pointed towards us and then made the big announcement. "They are both lying to everyone as the both of them are still together, and the crown prince is gay!" she shouted.

Murmurings filled the entire classroom, and everyone suddenly had something to say while pointing fingers at us and criticizing what we had done, but I didn't care about them. I just smiled at them and then looked at Randy, who was also staring at me. He leaned in closer to me and kissed me on the lips.

I didn't expect that he would do that, and I had hoped he would say something, but this was enough proof for everyone to see.

"I am in love with Desmond, and I am sorry for lying to everyone, but I can't change what I am!"

My heart swelled with happiness, and I also spoke up. "Yes, Randy and I are lovers, and there is nothing that could change that!"

The murmuring grew louder, and everyone began to laugh while some clapped and cheered us, but still, I was glad that we had finally come out to everyone and faced our fears.

~Randy~

I knew he would call us in, but I was no longer afraid of being with Desmond in front of my father. As I wheeled Desmond into the throne room, I was not anticipating what he would say, but instead, I wanted him to hear what I had to say and let him understand that I would never treat me any differently. I was going to be my person.

"Are you ready?" Desmond asked me as we both entered the throne room, and I nodded in response to him. I must admit that I was waiting for my father's reaction, how he would react once I told him my mind, and how we would resolve it.

"Ever ready," I assured him, kissing his head. When we reached the throne room, my father was seated in his throne room and looking at the both of us. I could feel his glares directed at us, and I knew that he was fuming with anger as he saw the both of us. My mother was by his side, rubbing his shoulder to lessen his anger, but I knew my father and what he could do, so I was not bothered by my mother's presence.

"what have you done!" my father roared as I walked to his front. He stood up from his throne and marched towards us. "do you have any idea what the both of you have done to the royal family and how badly you have spoiled the royal family's good integrity!" his voice was loud, scary and I should feel intimidated, but I wasn't. I didn't care that my father was trying to make me feel less about myself because I had already planned what I wanted to say to him, and I hoped that he would accept what I had in mind.

"How could you do that, Father?" I asked him.
