July 30th, 2011
It was the second to last day in Africa, and Annalie had had the time of her life that entire week. A week spent running about, going on safaris, lounging about and seeing Kenya like she’d never seen it before had left Annalie thoroughly satisfied with the trip she’d taken alongside her best friends and boyfriend. However, tonight, Matias and Bethany had opted to spend a romantic night out, and so Annalie had figured she’d like the alone time with Dario when their small resort hut was empty. Impossible as it seemed, but the whole week she felt like she and Dario had grown closer and closer, and that her feelings for him had only been solidified. She knew she’d had deep feelings for him before the trip, but now she was sure of nothing else, and she wanted nothing more to just be with him for as long as she could. She knew that after Bethany’s birthday passed, she would have to return to Sweden for a week or two to attend a few last-minute meetings and whatnot before she would have to return to Montana to attend the University there, and she was anxious to be away from Dario. She and Dario both had talked a while back that they were to be attending the University of Montana, and for that she was excited – spending the next four years by his side was a thrilling prospect of her. And, the university would not be far from Rexford, and so she would be close by Bethany, in case her best friend needed her throughout her final year at Vineheart. But the week or two she would be away from Dario while in Sweden would be agony, especially after spending every waking hour with him – and even falling asleep in his bed with him had been pleasant enough. She felt so close and so comforted and god if she didn’t feel so strongly for him if nothing else.
Because they had no plans on going anywhere tonight, Annalie had slipped into a silky, comfortable long-sleeve top and button-up shorts and was snuggled up against Dario on his bed, her head resting against his shoulder and her arms draped lazily across his stomach. The lights were dim, and she thought it slightly romantic, but she was more focused on the fact that the warmth from him ran right down to her toes. She reached over and gently grabbed his hand, letting her fingers glide up and down his palm, a habit she had of doing, and lifted her head up to softly kiss his cheek, a small smile on her lips. And, as she laid her head back down against his shoulder, her eyes fluttering close, a thought struck her. There was a reason she didn’t want to move from his arms, that she wanted to lie against him forever. There was a reason she got butterflies in her stomach whenever he looked her way. There was a reason she felt at a bit of loss every time she wasn’t in his presence. Annalie knew she had strong feelings for Dario, but it went way past that – way past anything she’d ever let herself feel before. And now, as she thought over the simple yet meaningful words, it felt right. So, into the comfortable silence they’d adopted for a few minutes now, she spoke in a low whisper: “I love you.” Her bright blue eyes darted up to his face, gauging his reaction, and her cheeks flushed a tinge of red, not out of embarrassment but out of elation from realizing the truth of all of her feelings. She was thrilled to know that she felt this way about him, because it meant that she’d overcome all of her fears and doubts – she finally loved someone. Her heart was beating rapidly, however, because she wasn’t sure how he felt about her, if he felt the same magnitude towards her. He didn’t have to love her, she concluded, she was fine with that, as long as he knew the way she felt towards him.

 last c h a n c e for one last d a n c e ‘CAUSE WITH YOU, I’D WITHSTAND
There was something completely different about going on a safari then seeing all the same animals in a zoo since the animals were actually acting like wild animals and they were not behind a ten foot fence and the danger was really there that if something went wrong they could be put in danger and while he was not exactly an adrenaline junkie there was something about this that was appealing to him. When they had gone on the first safari he had been a little upset that they did not get to see all of the big five animals and they missed out on the lions and elephants so instead of something else the next day was scheduled for another trip into the jungle after all this was a trip of a lifetime and he was not going to leave Kenya without having seen all of the animals. None of the others seemed to mind this change of plans since they were having too much fun anyways and they were all just enjoying the time that they were getting to spend together. It was never going to be like this again with the four of them this close and without even a glimmer of stress between them, they were all going to be off after this and start their own lives and this meant that they were not going to be around one another as much as before. This he did not like but at the same time he knew that it was a part of growing up that everyone had to go through. He was going to see that the distance did not break the friends up and the distance was not going to break up him and his girlfriend because he was just starting to come to terms with the fact that this was actually what she was. He was finally able to express the feelings that he had kept so silent for all those years and it was something so exciting to him. While he knew that they had just started dating he also knew that he loved the girl whether or not it was too soon to socially acceptable say it, while he two had been only together for three months they had known eachother forever and this was what made him positive that he loved her and there was no question about the feelings. It was not some high school crush that was going to fade away and taper to nothing this was something that was real and he was well prepared to hang onto this with both hands.
The two had been so close in the time in Africa and when they went back to Montana he was convinced that nothing was going to change he would be close to his sister so that he was able to keep an eye on her and he would be with Annalie attending the same university just as the two had planned. Everything was starting to work out the way that it should have from the very start and he really regretted the time between them being lost when they were figuring this all out and not too sure of what was going to happen between them or really if they were going to risk delving into the world of the unknown past friends. After all a lot of people said that once you took the step up from just being friends you were never able to go back to just friends as ninety eight percent of the time you were then close enough to realize what you were not able to stand about the person but he knew that it would be different in their case if heaven forbid anything did happen for them to call off their relationship they had been so close in the time that they were just friends that he was not going to allow then to slip away without a fight.
Tonight was a different night in Africa, usually it was spent with Mat and Bethany but the two were off on some romantic excursion for the night and the two of them were left to fend for themselves, not like he minded because currently there was no place that he would rather be than laying right beside her in the bed that they had been sharing in the resort. He didn’t know how he was going to go back and sleep my himself when the time came from their return and he knew that the gossip blog would be all over it if she did decide to stay with him on the certain occasion and this was not going to please either of their parents. Though really he could not say that he cared too much about what they thought as she was the biggest priority in his life right now. A small smile touched on his lips as he was laying on his side with his arm resting above him and holding his head up. It never got dull, just watching the girl and trying to memorize every plane of her face so that it would be etched so deeply into his mind that he could call it up whenever he was not having the best of the day so that he would be able to smile. She raised up so that she was able to kiss his cheek and this only caused his smile to broaden and he shifted closer so that he was able to wrap his arms gently around her and hold her close to him. The next words that left her lips came as a bit of a shock to him since he never would have expected the hesitant Swedish princess to be the first one to admit that she loved him but this did not even flicker onto his face since there was no doubt about where his feeling lay. I love you too, always have. He uttered gently meeting her eyes. Placing a gentle hand beneath her chin causing her to look up slightly lips met hers in a soft and tender fashion, the lingering sensation of the passion between them just starting to ebb to the surface though he was not going to allow that to ruin the moment between them.

He’d always loved her. Annalie felt her heart pick up speed, and the butterflies in her stomach flutter rapidly. A brilliant smile spread across her face, so wide and bright it could light up the entire room. He’d always loved. Always. The realization hit her like a knock over the head, and she felt her entire body get a warm, fuzzy feeling. She’d never felt so cherished and loved before; it was one thing for him to have fallen for her during their relationship, but to have been in love with her all of these years? She almost felt like she didn’t deserve his devotion, and yet, she craved it more than anything. For once in her life, she felt whole – no pain, no heartache, nothing. Her love for Dario and his love in return filled the void she’d felt the past six years following her father’s death. She nearly wanted to break down and cry with joy, but this thought had left her mind when Dario lifted her chin. Her breath caught in her throat; still, being this close to him always made her heart nearly stop. She didn’t think she could ever forget the warmth in his hazel eyes, sometimes brown and sometimes a murky green, filled with warmth and care and comfort. And when his lips met hers, her skin felt on fire, her fingers tingling as her initial reaction was to reach up and run her fingers across the back of his neck. He was holding back, she could tell, but she didn’t want hold back anymore. Things had become heated between them before whenever they were together, but this time it was different. What did they have to lose? They both knew they were in love, that there was nothing stopping them. There was no uncertainty this time for Annalie – she wasn’t going to run away and be scared like she’d been with Xavier.
So, Annalie leaned in further, crawling closer to where she was carefully sitting in his lap. She deepened the kiss, a smile still playing on her lips as her hands ran down his broad shoulders, resting on his forearms comfortably. Her cheeks were flushed with excitement as she pressed closer, enveloping the warmth of his body and the heat of his skin. After a minute or two, her fingers ran down his chest and down to his abdomen, pausing there. With her thumbs fingering the bottom of his shirt, she pulled away from him just barely, her forehead resting against his. She knew he could probably guess where this was going, and why not? Bethany and Matias were not here, and wouldn’t for a while; it was the perfect moment, and she knew she wouldn’t regret this. She didn’t necessarily regret it with Xavier, but this time, doing this would make her feel like she was flying, not crashing and burning. “Have you ever…?” she trailed off; licking her lips slightly, her bright blue eyes boring into him. She wanted to know, not just out of curiosity, but so she could better understand if he would want this or not. Everytime they’d come close to doing this, they’d both stopped, not quite past the barrier. But there were no barriers or obstacles anymore, and Annalie didn’t want to stop. She wanted to be able to share this moment with him, because it was special, and he was special, and to her their relationship was special. She wanted to show him just how much she loved him, and she couldn’t find any better way; it wasn’t just about having sex, it was about making love. She’d never really had anyone to make love to – she thought at the time it had been Xavier, but that had only made her feel hollow. But she had no doubts about Dario, and she was certain he didn’t have any doubts about her.

last c h a n c e for one last d a n c e ‘CAUSE WITH YOU, I’D WITHSTAND
While he had always loved her it had just taken him this long to figure it all out to decide that it was more than just friends and to finally be brave enough to expose his feelings when he really came to realize them this year at school. He hated that he had taken so long to realize it though since he was convinced that if he had come to her with his feelings that all of this would have developed and happened in an earlier year rather in the last year of their schooling. He had at first thought that the love that he felt for the girl had only been as a friend as he had been there for her when her father had been lost in the plane crash and felt the need to protect her but that never explained the jealousy that he felt when she had been with Xavier and the relationships he had been involved with did not seem to last simply because they did not compare to her and he did not give the other girls that he had been with a fighting chance. It was all about Annalie and always had been and neither of them had been aware of it until this year. He did not hesitate in moving closer to her and gentle touch was uttered beneath her chin causing her to look in his direction with a bright smile that crossed his face and he tried to decipher the emotions that were present in the girl. The hazel eyes of the Prince were always changing dependent on what he was wearing for the day and the weather but he knew that right now they would be portraying nothing but the warmth that seemed to spread through his entire body and prove to be very addicting. The kiss started out with the same innocent intentions as the rest that he tended to hold back from since he did not want to push the girl too far and was scared that she would turn and run like she had the night that he had confessed his feelings for her even though he knew that this was a lot different and she seemed to realize that and was certain with deepening the kiss and contact between the two of them until shudders ran long his spine and he was no longer holding onto the control that he had thought was so vital. Breathing deepened in the attempt to draw more oxygen from the air to fuel the nerve endings that felt as though they were on fire as she ran her hands along his shoulders and down his arms to rest there as she moved into his lap to only prolong the torture and then he realized that he did not have to restrain himself he was not going to get himself into trouble.
Every other time where it had gotten to this point and turned the corner where they knew that if they allowed it to progress that they were not going to be able to stop things were called to a halt which had not been a problem with him since everything was so new between the two of them and he was convinced that there was going to be plenty of time for it to progress though right now there was nothing that he wanted more than her and he was sure that this was apparent in the intensity of his gaze as it met hers confidently. Her hands ran along his chest and led to his abs then to the bottom of his shirt and this caused him to look down at her hands and he was not too sure what had the most affect over him, the fact that it was happening or that he was watching her hands make the scandalous line. When she asked if he had ever he shook his head, he had always wanted his first time to be with someone special and until Annalie that person had not existed which only meant that this was even closer to happening. There was no need for her to ask him if this was alright and if he was ok with it happening though since he closed the distance between the two of them once again and fingers trail along her sides lightly in a teasing manner and it proved to be not long before things progressed past the point of no return and their clothes were thrown in a haphazard pile by the side of the bed. It proved to be just as special as he had always imagined and this only caused him to pull her closer afterwards with a contented sigh as lips touched the top of her head. He was glad that Bethany and Matias would not be back to much later in the night since he did not want to be disturbed as of right now and just wanted Annalie all to himself as he met her gaze resting his forehead against hers in a tender and loving manner. You are so gorgeous. He uttered half to himself as laying there.

When he shook his head, indicating he had never done this before, a small smile played on her lips. Most girls would have been confused or curious as to why he had never gone that far, but for some reason it made Annalie love him even more, because everything about Dario was sincere, all of his dreams and thoughts. He’d wanted it to be special, obviously, and some part of her wished that she could share that first time with him too, but that would be a low blow to Xavier and when it had happened with him, at the time that had been special too. There was no need for any more regrets in her life, and now that she was with Dario, she knew there wouldn’t be. He made her happy, made her feel whole and pure and beautiful, and as she leaned in to kiss him again, she knew this was right. Soon their clothes were discarded on the floor and she was wrapped in his arms, a content grin on her face as he rested his forehead against hers. He told her she was gorgeous, and a faint hint of color spotted her cheeks. It was always nice to hear sweet words from him like that, but every time it still made her slightly blush. Her mother had always insisted she was beautiful, but Anna had never paid much attention to it; but with Dario, she truly felt wanted, but not in a needy way. It was a balanced love, like there was a secure, unbreakable rope tightened between them, keeping them together, bound forever. She’d always be linked to Dario somehow, even though she didn’t like to think about the possibility of them breaking up in the future; he was still her best friend’s sister, and still the closest guy friend she’d had before they began dating. He was everything to her – he could make her laugh until she cried, and she didn’t think they’d ever really argued all that much, even when they were just friends. They both had their vices and their flaws, but that was what made the relationship special.
Annalie leaned back and rested her head on his bare chest, one finger running up and down the length of his side. At times she felt she didn’t deserve the strength he gave her, the happiness he willing presented her with. She’d really hurt him in the process of their budding relationship, and yet he’d always been there, right by her side, never giving up. She had always been a stubborn girl, but when it came down to it, Annalie was pushed around by her indecisive and cautious thoughts. She knew with certainty how she felt about Dario, but she hadn’t always felt that way – she’d put him through a lot of shit just to get here. A sigh escaped her. “Thank you,” she whispered softly into the pleasant silence, kissing his stomach lightly, and arm lazily draped across him. “for never giving up on me, on us. I pushed you away so much in the beginning, and yet you stayed. I’m sorry that I didn’t realize my feelings for you sooner,” she paused, lifting her head up slightly so she could meet his eyes. “But I promise you, I’m never going to let you go. I love you, and nothing will ever change that,” she stated matter-of-factly, one hand reaching up to rest against his cheek. After a moment, she lay back down again, snuggling up closer to him. She could stay in his arms forever, if given the chance.

last c h a n c e for one last d a n c e ‘CAUSE WITH YOU, I’D WITHSTAND
The prince had always had a lot more on his mind and sex really had never been a part of it. He was working towards a goal and knew that he needed all his attention on the fact that he was going to be the King of Denmark so really where would he have had a chance to have a relationship, sure he had been involved with a few girls but never seriously enough that it would ever have been considered, he was a true romantic at heart and knew that it was something special that needed to be shared with someone that you loved and truly loved, not just one of those high school romances where you said that you loved the person but really had no idea of the meaning of the word. It was not that way for him and Annalie though, it became even more obvious to him that he had been in love with her for so many years and even during the time where he thought that he just cared for her as a friend now the jealousy that had been so confusing to him when she had been with Xavier was all starting to make sense to him, he knew why he had felt that way even though it had not been then that he had acted on it. It was also another reason that he had not really been serious about the other girlfriend he had because he had always in the back of his mind known that there was something more powerful out there for him and not because the other girls would un-satisfactory in his mind, seeing as he adored them all as friends even after breaking up with them, they were simply not Annalie and there was no one that was going to take that spot. There was nothing more special than this night and he knew that it was going to be one that was imprinted in his memory for the rest of his life.
The feeling of wrapping her in his arms and holding her close while resting his forehead against hers was intoxicating and he found that he did not want this to end, he wanted this night to last forever, he did not want to go home from Africa and definitely did not want to be away from the girl even though he knew that they were going to return in the fall to the same school so that was going to be something to look forward to. The blush that rose in her cheeks when he told her that she was gorgeous was enough to make his smile broaden and for him to pull back only slightly where he was able to run a finger along her cheek in a gentle and tender gesture. While they both had their flaws the two of them got along so well that it was impossible not to see the special bond between them even when they were friends, she was one of the only ones that was allowed close to him and to see the vulnerable side of him. The side that was not too sure if he was all set out to rule Denmark. The side that was nervous and antsy around her and even though he did not put up this façade when they were together she seemed to love him anyway. That was something very special.
As she rested her head on his chest and ran a finger along his side a small sigh escape lips in a contented manner and he wrapped an arm around her shoulders making sure to cradle her close to him as a gentle kiss touched the top of her head. Brow was raised slightly when she uttered thank you to him and his attention was then turned fully to the present time frame and what she was talking about when she thanked him for never having given up on her and being persistent even when she had pushed him away. You never have to thank me, you are worth it and I would have done it ten thousand times over if I needed to. He uttered quietly in a deep whisper to her. You will never have to let me go. I will make sure of it. I do not care what it takes. He whispered confidently and he knew that this was true. He was not going to ever give up something that was this real to him.
