LOVEisHARD

[Annie of Conté]

Annie smiled as the two walked to Edward's rooms, hand in hand. The best thing had happenned to her that day. Firstly Edward had confessed his love for her, and she had kissed him. Then they had gone down to the kitchens, and had a slice of cake and some tea each. She'd had much fun with the cake, putting some of the chocolate icing on Edward's nose and giggling. The kitchen staff had been polite enough to give Edward and her some space, so they had dissappeared into the back of the kitchen, mumbling something about that night's feast. Just before they had left Annie had wiped the icing off and put it on Edward's hand with a giggle.

Then they had gone for a romantic stroll in the gardens, hand in hand. They hadn't actually kissed, but they had gently nudged each other, and made other physical contact, but no more kissing had taken place. One reason was because they feared someone seeing them, and the other because they were slightly embarassed by it. Towards the end Edward had gotten guts and put his arm around Annie's shoulders, but that hadn't lasted long because they had to go back to Edward's rooms.

At that moment they were standing outside Edward's room's. "Shall we go in?" Annie asked Edward, obviously not having a key.

Ah, no one could ask for a better day! Edward sighed contentedly. His first date date with Annie, and he would never forget it, even if he did end up with chocolate icing on his nose, and then on his hand, to which he had gallantly answered 'About time you put it somewhere reachable!' and had licked it off.

Next they had gone through the gardens, just talking, laughing, and exploring being together in a new way. Edward had taken flowers that he thought were pretty and stuck them in Annie's hair to make a beautiful hair ornament willing to battle any crown. He wished he could have capture how she looked at the moment, but had to rely on a very good memory.

They had reached Edward's rooms, and Edward smiled as he took out a key, "Of course we shall!" he opened the door and led her inside, and once in there, he closed the door. Now, he was becoming shy again, no really sure what to do. He busied himself with doing some of the normal things he did when he entered his room. Coat and tunic off, big boots off, etc.

Annie laughed softly as they walked in. Annie sat on his bed. She watched as he did his usual little jobs. Once Annie was sure he had finished and was just trying to do things so he wouldn't have to be embarassed. The Princess hopped off her bed and walked over to where Edward was and grabbed his hands in hers, feeling the warmth of his hands. She nearly laughed at how big his hands were compared to her, but this was a serious moment, not one intended for lughing.

"I've had a great time," she whispered, and looked into his purple eyes. She reached up, on her toes, and softly kissed Edward's lips. It only took a few moments before their was passion in the kiss. She could definatley get used to this! Edward was a good kisser, not that Annie would ever give him the heads up on that. This was their second kiss, and it was nearly as powerful as thei first one had been.

Edward had run out of things to do, and found himself searching for something to do, for it didn't help that Annie was sitting on his bed looking bemused at him. It was an odd time for him to get obssesive-compulsive, but anything was better than standing in one spot looking wide-eyed and embarrassed. Annie thankfully came and saved him after a few minutes of this, taking his hands in hers. They were so bulky compared to her dainty ones, Edward noticed.

She told him she had a great time, which made Edward a bit more embarrassed, but saved the moment by kissing him again. Edward had no shock from it this time, there was no few seconds of waiting in surprise before wrapping his arms around her. No, this time he was more exctied by it, pushing a hand lighlty through her hair as the toher encricled her waist to pull her higher. He had no fear now, no voice warning him in the back of his head. This was a much better kiss than before, and his embarrassment from before was easily forgotten.

This kiss was even more powerful and passionate than the first one had been. Annie wasn't worried this time, and felt more relaxed. SHe wrapped her arms around Edward's neck. The princess felt comfortable and safe in Edward's strong arms, and allowed herself to be taken away by the kiss. She was glad for his strong grip on her, because she had a feeling if his arms weren't holding her up right she might fall over or float away. SHe never knew something could be so powerful, and she'd never experienced anything like it.

Like the first kiss, she never wanted it to end, but knew she was running out of breath. When she pulled away Annie was lost for words, and blushed, her arms still around his neck. "Edward, today was my first kiss," she admitted. Annie had courted people, but it had never gone past hugging. "And my I say, you are a good kisser, you take me breath away!" she said quietly, still embarassed.
