A/N Hello my nearest and dearest! I'm back with the last chapter! I'm very satisfied with myself. I just forced my lazy and tired self to sit and type the last part of this fairytale and I did it! *_* Yey for me haha.

Thanks to all of you who reviewed and just read this story without leaving a review (I know, you are here haha), because my traffic shows high results haha. Thanks! Though, I'd rather read your reviews, guys, and know what you like or dislike in my story.

Ok, enough of that. I'm giving you the last chapter and I hope you will like it as much as my sis and I do ^_~

The Frog-Prince

Chapter 4

"Megumi, wait up!" he kept on calling for her but she didn't listen and continued running through the picturesque night garden.

"Why are you running away from me?"

"Leave me alone, Yahiro!" she cried between panting.

He couldn't leave everything like that. He had to look into her gorgeous chocolate orbs and find out what was wrong.

So Prince made a quick movement forward and caught her by the arm, causing them both to fall on soft green grass.

Yahiro ended up on top of her, but he didn't notice it and was trying to catch his breath.

"Let me go!" she said hopelessly knowing that he wouldn't.

"Why did you run away?" he asked searching for her eyes, but she refused to look at him. She didn't like the idea that her hands were pinned by his, or else she could smack him for such stupidity.

"Your proposal is nonsense, Yahiro. You're a Prince and I'm a common girl, a musician's daughter to that! Do you know what it means? We don't belong together. We live in different worlds and…"

"Is it all you wanted to say?" he interrupted her with annoyance in his tone. "I don't see any problem at all. It was your wish and my father will grant it. The main question is that—do you want to be with me, to become my Queen and share your life with me?"

She shut her eyes and a loud sob escaped her throat.

"It's so sudden. I don't know. You are too forceful, Yahiro. Please, let me go," she tried to struggle but it was pointless. He held her hands tightly yet carefully. "You are so cruel".

"And you love me".

"Huh?" his statement made her turn her head sharply and look at him with widened eyes. "What made you think this way?"

He smirked briefly.

"You proved it in the pond yourself, remember? Only true and pure love could break the spell. So? Will you try to convince me in opposite or will you just admit the obvious and agree to become my Queen?"

"Stop teasing me, Yahiro!" Megumi's cheeks turned bright red and she began kicking him as hard as her position allowed her.

"I'm not teasing you. If you are afraid, I understand. I'm scared too, because I have been dreaming of this moment for 8 years and now, when it has finally come, I can't organize it the way I want!"

He sighed heavily and gazed into her eyes tenderly yet a little sadly.

"I wanted to tell you that I love you since I was 10. But the day I summoned all my courage, you just left without saying goodbye".

"But you were at your uncle's castle back then" she said totally surprised by his sincere words.

"It doesn't matter!" his cheeks flushed. "You left and I felt empty. I realized that there was no one to trust and rely on in this world. I didn't want to play with others, I felt betrayed. And all I could do was giving the others a cold shoulder. Yes, I became distant, cruel even brutal and cold-hearted. I didn't trust anyone. And when I turned 18, my father and my godmother decided to cast a spell on me in order to reveal my good nature. They didn't know that I was miserable all that time because you were away. But now…you are here" his voice got gentler. "You came and saved me from that terrible feeling of emptiness in my heart. Thank you…"

His eyes softened and a light smile appeared on his good-shaped lips.

"Now, when I can see you, look into your eyes, feel your warmth, touch your hair, hear your sweet voice… I want to say those words I couldn't tell you 8 years ago".

After saying that last he let go of her left hand and brushed her cheek with his fingers carefully.

"I love you, Megumi".

Lots of new emotions rushed through her, forcing the girl to tremble under the pressure of his body. It was the first time someone had ever confessed to her.

"I love you even after you left me, even after not getting a single letter from you. I still love you. Do you know how much I missed you? I was turning to stone, I was going insane and…I was losing myself".

"Is it true?" she gazed at his sad face, laying her free hand on his cheek. He leaned in for the touch.

"It is" was his frank reply.

"I didn't know that I caused you so much pain and sorrow. Forgive me, Yahiro. I really didn't mean to make you suffer. I wanted to say goodbye, but you were not in the castle, so…"

"There is only one way for your to get my forgiveness" he interrupted her, taking her hand away from his face and pinning it to the ground next to her head again. Then he announced with power and confidence in his smooth voice.

"Stay by my side by marrying me. There is no way that I will let you go away anymore".

"Yahiro, you are embarrassing me!" she began struggling again but the result was the same.

Prince arched his eyebrow elegantly while a knowing smirk was playing on his lips.

"So, you answer?"

"I will!" she shouted at his face while hers was all furious and red. "Are you happy now? I will! Now get off of me or I'll scream and if I lose my precious voice, you will pay for that!"

But sudden warmth on her mouth interrupted her little outburst. When she realized what happened, her eyes widened in indescribable shock.

"Shhh…" he whispered, caressing her lips with his. "I won't forgive myself if you harm your angelic voice because of me".

She wanted to protest but couldn't. All her body got limp due to the new sensation she was feeling right now. Yahiro took her first kiss without asking for permission. But somehow…she wasn't upset with this fact.

His shy touches to her lips were gentle and soft, and soon Megumi found herself closing her eyes and wrapping her arms around his shoulders. She didn't even notice when he freed her hands and when his arms embraced her lovingly.

The kiss didn't last long. Both teens were not experienced in that way of showing affection they had for each other.

And so, when Prince raised his head a little and looked into her innocent chocolate orbs, he said.

"I'll ask you once again. Will you become my Queen and share your life with me?"

The maiden smiled shyly at him and nodded.

"I will".

He chuckled not believing that this moment was happening for real.

"Now my father can make your wish come true".

"I guess".

Smiles were exchanged as two young people hugged each other and stayed like that for a while, just lying on soft green grass of the garden in each other's arms.

The only sound could be heard in the silence of the night…

…a sound of two hearts beating as one.

The end

A/N sooo? How was it? No really, I can't believe that it's the end myself *sobs* but it is, my friends. Push the green button and shower me with your impressions! I'm waiting! ^^

Always here for you,
