meeting room. I hated seeing all these people again but if they really were the ones who had allowed me to marry Nathan then I should be really grateful.
“Nathan and Cleopatra, we hereby allow you to marry each other as long as the ceremony takes place within the next two weeks. Furthermore, we wish you both a lot of luck and extend our deepest apologies for any calamities we have caused.”
At that moment, I did not care if there was a room full of people watching, I couldn’t help myself. I walked up to the head of parliament and hugged him. He was extremely surprised but after a few moments he hugged me back. The whole court started clapping and they all stood up. I caught Lila’s eye and she smiled at me knowingly. Then I looked at my parents and saw that my mother was wiping the tears from her cheeks.

The day of my wedding was a beautiful day. I woke up to birds chirping outside my window and when I was awake I immediately jumped out of bed. I walked over to the window, pulled back he curtains and then threw open the window. A cool breeze entered my room and played with my nightdress and my hair. I laughed, just because I could, and then danced around the room. The rest of the day passed much too quickly for my liking but I enjoyed every minute of it. Nathan looked more handsome than he had ever done before and I’m quite sure that the priest got a little annoyed at us at one point because we could not take our eyes off each other. When he asked me if I was going to cherish and obey Nathan I nearly forgot to say yes because Nathan winked at me just before I was going to answer. The party lasted till late in the evening and Nathan and I were happy when the last guests finally left. I felt exhaustion take over but suddenly Nathan was by my side and placed a hard kiss on my lips.
“Don’t you dare fall asleep.” He said. I smiled at him. “I won’t." He pulled me close and kissed my neck before whispering in my ear: “Let’s go.” I nodded and hand in hand we went to find our parents. They were sitting at a table with a glass of wine and looked up when we came walking in.
“I think we better leave now before we fall asleep.” Nathan announced. Our parents started laughing and then they stood up and went over to say goodbye to us.
“Have fun, and take care!” My mom told us both and then gave us each a kiss on the cheek. Then Nathan and I made our way towards the stable where Starfright and Liberty were saddled. I rode on Starfright and Nathan mounted Liberty. And then we galloped off into the darkness.

We arrived at the tiny dock where Nathan’s boat was tied and he helped me get down from the horse. He kissed me quickly before taking my hand and leading me towards the small rowboat. It wasn’t long before we reached the island and Nathan stepped out of the boat and pulled it on the shore. I stood up and was just about to jump down when he caught me and kissed me before he placed me softly on the floor. He wanted to take my hand and walk further onto the shore but I put my hands on his face and pulled him down so I could kiss him again. He gave in to my kiss immediately and I enjoyed the fact that I could feel the hunger in his kiss. But then he pulled away and took my hand.
“Come on,” he said, “I need to show you something.” We walked over the shore, hand in hand, and then I saw light coming from around the corner. I wondered what it was and glanced up at Nathan who was looking down at me expectantly. Walking was too slow for my liking and so I pulled Nathan and we both laughed as we ran over the beach. I stopped dead in my tracks the moment we rounded the corner and I saw the sight before me. There were dozens of oil lamps placed in a huge heart around a king-size double bed. On the bed were rose petals, again arranged in the form of a heart. It looked amazing. I looked up at Nathan and saw that instead of looking at the beautiful sight before him, he was looking at me.
“I love you, Nathan.” I whispered. He smiled.
“I love you too.” Then, unexpectedly, he lifted me up and carried me towards the bed. I noted how nice he smelled and how handsome he looked in the light of the oil lamps. He set me down in front of the bed and then, with his arms around my body, unzipped my dress. When it was completely unzipped he gently pulled at the sleeves and the dress slid off me and fell on the floor. He then pulled out the pins that were holding my hair up and my blond curls cascaded down like a waterfall. I lifted his shirt over his head and then he leaned forewords and kissed me. He gently pushed me on to the bed and I gasped when his hand slid under my bra to forbidden territory.

I woke up in Nathan’s arms and felt like crying, crying because I was so incredibly happy. Last night could not have been better and I smiled when memories of my wedding day flooded my mind. I looked up at Nathan and saw that he was awake.
“Good morning,” he smiled, while he took a strand of my hair and started playing with it.
“It is indeed.” I said. Nathan chuckled and then kissed me. I stretched in the large bed and then lay watching the huge river. I soon got bored of this though, especially since I had discovered a new form of entertainment last night. I turned around in Nathan’s arms and half lay on top of him.
“Last night was incredible.” I sighed.
“Is that a hint?” Nathan questioned me. I smiled mischievously and then answered:
“Maybe.” In one quick motion Nathan moved us so that I was lying on the bottom and he was on top.
“Should I give you an encore of last night?” He asked playfully.
“I would like that very much,” I admitted.
“That can be arranged.”

We spent the next few days swimming in the river, cooking food over an open fire and barely getting any sleep. I loved every moment I spent together with Nathan and was unhappy when the day came that we had to go back to the palace. Nathan didn’t feel like leaving either but we had promised our parents that we would be back before sunset. We made it to the palace just in time. It would take a while before our new palace, which was situated on the border of Tokito and Dardoland and where Nathan and I were going to live, would be opened and therefore we would be staying at my parents’ palace for the next couple of months. We eventually had to pick up our daily routines again and soon I was in meetings with ministers and travelling through the country to open hospitals and schools. So far Nathan had always travelled with me on these trips but today he had to go to Lindenburgh, a country that neighboured both Tokito and Dardoland, for the renewal of a cease-fire agreement. I had to stay at home because I had to receive some royal guests. The days crawled and even though the guests were nice and very pleasant, I could not fully enjoy their company. And the nights were the most dreadful, I missed Nathan every waking moment and even in my sleep did I dream of his touch. I was beginning to get a little worried about myself; I had no idea that I could become this obsessed about a guy. I discussed it with Lila but she waved it off and said that every woman in love behaved the exact same way. I was happy that I had such a good friend.

Nathan was due to return in the late afternoon and I had left him a note at the palace, saying that I would be on Yirdo, waiting for him. I had asked one of the servants to row me to the island and armed with food and a blanket, I arrived there.

I was lying on my stomach, reading a book. I couldn’t really concentrate on it though because I knew Nathan could arrive any moment. With every sound of the wind rushing through the trees I looked up, checking if it was him. I could not believe how much I had missed him and how lucky I was to have had the chance to marry him. Suddenly I heard soft footsteps approaching.
“Hey.” Nathan said as I looked up at him. I smiled up at him, I was so happy he had returned! I never thought I could miss anyone as much as I had missed Nathan. I put my book away and sat up. He came to sit next to me on the blanket which was spread out on the beach. I put my arms around him and hugged him tightly.
“I’ve missed you.” He said.
“I’ve missed you too.” I let go of him so that I could look him in the eye. “Please don’t leave me often. I hate not having you here. You’re like the sunshine in my life or something, you light up my day.” Nathan laughed. “I thought you were a rain person and enjoyed rain.”
“All right, then you’re the rain drops in my life that make everything fresh, healthy and new.” I said as I cupped his face in my hands and kissed him. He quickly took over the kiss and slowly pushed me down on the blanket. Before he could go any further, I pushed him away.
“Are you hungry?” I asked, smiling slightly mischievously.
“Yes, hungry for you.” His gaze ran over my body approvingly and this made me blush.
“I was talking about food.” I said quickly. He sighed, and asked, as if it was some daily routine that he had to do and did not enjoy: “What is there to eat?” I rolled over and reached for a plate of pasta that was standing on a chair.
“Pasta?” I offered him.
“Sure.” He took it and put it in between us. He pulled out one string of spaghetti and put one end in my mouth and the other in his. I nearly bit his finger in the process but managed to start chewing it. I giggled as I chewed it slowly. Our lips met when we had both finished our half of the string of spaghetti.
“Ok, I’m full.” Nathan announced when he pulled away. He carelessly put the plate beside him somewhere. “It’s hot here!” He suddenly stated and to emphasize on that statement, and took off his shirt and threw it away from him. I was observing him amused, it was so obvious what he wanted to do but at the same time I found it amusing to resist him. I knew, though, that my resistance was being torn down with every smile he gave me and him taking off his shirt certainly didn’t help. He had probably done some exercise when he was away on the trip because he looked even fitter than usual, which was nearly impossible. Or maybe I was just imagining it because I
