Once upon a time / Thomas brodie sangster fanfic

Part 20

POV: Alice
We walked into a little room just Thomas and me. There was a table and some chairs I sat down on one. Thomas looked at me concerned and sat down in the chair next to me. "I don't know if this is going to make you feel any better but you did the right thing today. Not only have you made me very happy but now I can finally become king and can my father leave this place in peace." He said and took my hands in his. I couldn't stop it anymore and I started to cry. He placed my head onto his shoulder so I could cry on there. "Shhhh... It's okay. Cry as much you want, I don't mind." He said while stroking my hair calmly. "This was they only way. Their was nothing I could do." He said and that made me angry. I looked up at him with anger all over my face. I stood up from the chair and looked at him with fire in my eyes. "Nothing you could do?! NOTHING you could do?! You COULD do something! Maybe something like, ohh... I don't know NOT asking me to marry you! You know I can't say no to a royal because that is disrespectful!" I was screaming at him now. He knew very well that I didn't had a choice when he got down on one knee. That I had to choice him instead of freedom. I didn't know if I needed to be angry or sad, I was both of them. Tears were streaming down my face again. "I'm sorry. I love you and I wanted to be with you. So when my father told me I needed to get married in 2 days I saw my chance." He said and walked closer to me. Hands out like he was approaching a wild animal. "Please forgive me. I'll do anything to make you feel home here. I didn't know you hated me." He was saying, tears now streaming down his face. 'I didn't hate him, how could he think that? Okay I maybe have screamed in his face but I don't hate him. I maybe love him a little.' I thought and I feel my knees getting weak. I fell down to the ground crying my eyes out. Thomas fell with me and hold me tight, he was also crying. "I don't hate you. I just don't like what you did." I was trying to say through my sobs but Thomas heard it and just hugged me tighter. "I love you Alice." He said with a shaking voice. "I like you too." I said back not wanting to say 'love' yet.

"Let's go to the party." Thomas said while he wiped away my tears. I looked in the mirror and fixed my make-up as much as I could. Thomas gave me a hand and together we walked into the ballroom. There was orchestra playing sweet and lovely music. Everyone looked at us and clapped, the king looked very proud from across the room and the queen just stared at me with a deadly look in her eyes. I hold Thomas' hand thighter not letting go for a second. He looked at me and smiled sweetly. We walked towards the middle of the room. Thomas took my right hand in his and placed my left hand on his shoulder, he place his left hand on my waist. The orchestra played a waltz song and we both started dancing. It felt amazing again just like our first dance together.

When we were done my mother came to me and took me to a quieter place. "How is my sweet girl?" She said and gave me a warm smile, I missed that smile so much. "I'm okay mother. Where is Nova?" I asked while looking around the room for her but I couldn't see her anywhere. "She went to bed. It was a little to much for her." My mother laughed and hold my hands. "You're going to be okay, I promise." She said again with her warm smile and before I could reply Thomas came. "Hey love, can I talk to you?" He said and I looked at my mother, she just nodded and I kissed her cheek softly. Thomas took my hand and we walked through the castle to a part I haven't been before.

Thomas stopped by a door and opened it for me. I walked in first, it was a bedroom. It was bigger then mine, there was a red carpet, wooden walls, a beautiful bay window with dark red curtains, His dark wooden canopy bed was covered with white blanket and pillows, He had also a desk and closet, the only thing he had what I didn't have was a couch in the middle of the room and a balcony with two glass doors. I looked around with my mouth open. "Is this your bedroom?" I asked still looking around and then ran towards the window. "Exually 'our' bedroom." He was saying while scratching the back of his neck. I turned around to look at him in shock. 'Was I ready for this? I don't even know about my feelings for him.' I thought "Tomorrow your stuff will be here." he said and walked towards the bed. "Is there something else your not telling me?" I said with a smile like a joke but he looked serious, like there was really something he was not telling me. My smile faded and I sat next to him on the bed. He took a deep breath before he spoke. "There is a tradition in our family. We need to stay a virgin until we get married and then on the wedding night we lose our virginity. But I understand if you don't want too or not ready." He told me stroking my cheeks with his thumb. I know he loves his family so much and I don't want to break a tradition, even this tradition. I sight deep and spoke. "It's okay. It's a royal tradition and I don't want to be the one that breaks that tradition." I said with a bittersweet feeling. Thomas smile got wider and wider and I knew I'd just made him very happy. The whole time he asked me if I really wanted to do this. I always think for a second but at the end I always nodded yes.

I can tell you that night was magical.
