The Perfect Princess

Chapter 15-

I followed Matteo upstairs while he rushed a hand through his hair, "Did he hurt you? Are you okay?" He asks while turning around briefly before knocking on a door lightly.

I said nothing back and he barged into the room, the room is empty and then I realise this is the room Matteo has been staying in while he has been here.

I didn't even know.

You see he's a little bit mad because I told him about the encounter I had with Christian.

"Why didn't you tell me when Julian left?" He said while sitting down on the edge of his bed.

I don't think I've ever been in this room before, honestly.

Or if I have I cannot remember. It is in an entire different suite then my room and my parents room is over here.

A room I have not entered since I had my last nightmare when I was 8.

The nightmare I got every night for a full year.

It's been about an hour since Julian vanished and father had to apologise to everyone.

Me, Zaria and Cole went for a walk outside while father, Matteo and the guards sorted things out supposedly.

I'm back inside and I just told Matteo about what happened.

"Well, I was a little taken a back by what had happened." I said back while standing in front of him.

"I didn't even know he was here." He said back as he closed his eyes.

"It's fine, I scared him off with my sword and it feels like only a small bruise." I said again while walking over to him slowly.

He shook his head lightly, "let me see what he did to you."

I took off my red glove slowly with my other hand and the bruise shown instantly on my wrist.

Almost purple colored, a hand print gripping around my wrist.

"Oh god—." He got up and grabbed my wrist lightly while rubbing over the sorest parts.

I winced lightly and he looked down at me and I swear I could see the red in his eyes.

"I'm going to kill him." He said while gritting his teeth and I look down at my wrist as his fingers draw circles around the bruises.

"I'm going to absolutely obliterate him." He let go of my wrist and stalked around the room.

"Did he tell you where he was going?" He ran his hands through his hair again.

I took a deep breath before walking over to him, he had his back to me while looking out his window.

I placed my hand on his back slightly and I felt him flinch underneath me, "I'm okay Matteo, you can calm down."

He turned around slowly to meet me and his eyes went instantly to mine.

His gaze made me feel all fuzzy and warm inside.

I smiled at him softly and he smiled back, "Okay. As long as you're okay."

He wrapped his arms around me quickly greeting me in a hug, "You should've seen me, I was on fire." I said into his torso while he smushed me into him.

"I wish I did see you, I bet you beat his ass up." He spoke against my head while kissing it lightly.

Shooting tingles straight through my body, everywhere.

"I did. It was the best feeling, we can try someday. If you'd like to get your ass beat, of course?" I pulled away from his hug while his hand went to my wrist again.
