Draco's POV

I have been waiting for this moment for so long and I still can't believe that I finally have her with me. I have Lexi tightly in my arms and enjoy her gaze on my skin. She looks at me very closely, as if she is storing every millimeter in her little head without taking her eyes off mine. God what I would give to be able to kiss her all over her body right now.

Suddenly the way she looks at me changes - thoughtful, sad, but only for a few seconds. Because this thoughtful and sad look disappears when she discovers my little smile. I want her to be happy, even if it is more than hard to bear in times like these. I will find a way to make all this easier for her.

"Well, shall I show you around the estate now? And my favorite secret spot here on the grounds? We'll take the whiskey with us, of course, if that's what you want." I cough briefly to release the tightening tension. I don't want to rush anything, especially not with someone as unique as Lexi.

"Mmm, super happy to. Can we take the music too?" I hear her ask softly as she takes her hand out of mine and points to the jukebox.

"You're lucky my parents are still at work. Come on, let's go, you'll be thrilled." I say as I put everything into a small black leather shoulder bag and open the door for her.

With a really well played curtsy she walks ahead into the large hallway of our house, spinning in circles a few times to the music with arms outstretched and a smile. This sight is all I ever needed without knowing it.

Seeing her like this gives me a sense of freedom and contentment myself - because I now have everything I never thought I needed before. She closes her eyes and without getting too close to her, I make sure she keeps enough distance from the walls and the sculptures so she doesn't hurt herself. How can a single person make another so ... so... perfect? My heart beats up to my neck. I've never had these feelings before and I don't know if it scares me or if I can and must get used to it - but I won't let on.

I imagine what a future with her would be like, watching her little figure spin and bounce around the hallway like this. How wonderful would that be?

"Let's go to the backyard first!" she snaps me out of my daydream, I immediately smile at her and am pulled behind by her holding my hand, down the stairs and out the back door.

Lexi stops right after the second step on the stone patio and doesn't say a word. I stand next to her, maybe 10 inches further forward to see her face. Her face speaks a thousand volumes as she looks down to the garden. To the left and to the right is a staircase leading down to the garden. It's the perfect day, at least for me, and if I didn't know better, I can see in her face that she feels the same way.

"Do you want to put down roots here?" I ask, smiling, full of satisfaction, watching her finger-pointing as she chooses a staircase to run down. I walk leisurely to the stone railing of the patio and prop myself up on it with both arms, watching every little thing she does.

How she skips through the roses and lilies, past the sunflowers and the lavender blossoms. Never have I seen someone so content, so pure and honest. Without pretending, because she doesn't care what others think of her. Resting my head on my hand, I watch her as Lexi smells almost all the flowers and finally she sits down with the sunflowers. She props herself up on her hands behind her back and looks up at the almost clear blue sky.
