Fairytale Classic Ending

I smiled at his beautiful face. He had soft, wavy brown hair and startling emerald eyes. His face was almost aristocratic looking, except for the softening at his cheeks. His lips curled into a smile as he caught my eyes on him. I could feel the heat rush into my cheeks as I looked away.

Only now did the roar of those around us reach my ears. Suddenly, I felt a soft hand under my chin, as my face was lifted up. My breath caught at the sight of his face being so close to mine. How had he walked so fast? He had been across the room just seconds ago. I noticed the hall fall silent and I could suddenly feel a hundred eyes on me. They were waiting for me to pull back or hit him.

My heart clenched at the thought. I didn't know how to act. And then, as if he had seen the confusion in my eyes, he dipped his head and placed his soft lips on mine gently. He slowly kissed me, waiting for my reaction. Carefully, I began to respond and within seconds the small innocent kiss had turned into a passionate embrace. I felt as if my head had joined the clouds and would never return. I felt him slowly pull away as air became a necessity. I looked into his eyes and found that he was searching mine. I answered with the first real smile I had given since I had arrived.

I saw him relax as he wrapped his arms around me protectively. I smiled again as the whispers broke out across the hall. After four years of rivalry no one had expected this, that's for sure. I sighed as I leaned back; contented to be in the arms of the one I loved so deeply. It was a relief to know I wouldn't have to hide my feelings.
