A Whole New World

chapter 21

After what happened past few days when I was in the Fort and what happened yesterday night, I am disturbed. On one side I want to give him a chance and go back with him but there is another side of me which doesn't want to give in. It wants him to suffer as he made me all those few days. I want to ignore him and refuse going with him but one look at him and the only thing I want is him.

He us staying in my room upstairs as I am staying in grandma's room. I don't have anywhere to go for work so I decided to clean the garden which has overgrown and all the flowers are wilted, not even a single one is left.

I changed in to casual home clothes and went out of the back door towards the garden. It must be 7 in the morning, I assume Alpha is still sleeping. I went down on my knees as I started trimming the dead parts but later realized that the whole plant is dead even the roots so I had to remove all of them and have to replant.

I started removing all the dead plants with sadness, it was like Grandma's kids and now look at all of them. If she was here she would be so heartbroken. An hour has past and I was sweating profusely because of the Sun rays. It was hot today and I was thirsty but was waiting for it to be done first and then go inside to have water. As I was busy plucking dead plants, I sense a presence behind me and I instantly knew who it was. He was being so quite but still I could feel him.

"Here, have this" he said as he gave me bottle of water, I inwardly thanked him and took the bottle from his hand without turning to look at him. As I was drinking water he kneeled beside me and start removing the remaining dead plant's and he was quite fast.

"It's okay, they are almost done.. you don't have to" I said as he was doing my work. It was quite amusing to see an Alpha king who is feared upon his people doing such a harmless job. He was so focused at the task in hand as if it's the most important thing in this world.

"No you go inside, it's hot and you are sweating" his voice held Care and a little firmness as if I have no choice. I sighed and stood up, I don't know why I feel like listening to him whenever he tells me do something.

I walked inside and towards my room upstairs, I took a bath and wore a casual shirt and jeans. Then I decided to make breakfast for him, he must be hungry. I don't know what he would like to eat, their food and our food is so different so I decided to make little of everything. Sam has done grocery shopping for me when I was in hospital which I am grateful for.

I fried some eggs, made some pancakes and some sausages. I also prepared a bowl of fruit if he don't like any of other thing. I prepared a coffee for both of us which I don't know if he would like so I also made an orange juice. As I had set the table he walked inside and was sweating. His white shirt has dirt on it along with his hands.

"Uhmm I have some clothes that are to big on me, I hope they would fit you. What about you go take a bath and I will bring them to you?"I said at which he nodded. I went upstairs with him following behind. I went to the closet as he went to take a bath.

I had some shirts which are too sizes big for me which will fit him, I found a plain grey shirt which I think would fit him. Then I find some swear which were also a little big on me and I have never used before because they were big on me. I placed both the clothes on bed and went downstairs after informing him.

I waited for him on the breakfast table, for a moment it felt so good. I felt like a normal couple me making food for him and be helping me in my chores. But I know that once we will go back to magic realm everything will be gone. He is a king who has responsibility of whole kingdom on his shoulder.

I heard footsteps and when I looked up and involuntary smile came on my face. The grey shirt was snug around him, clutching like a second skin. The swear were almost his size. Overall he was looking handsome as ever.

"You look good" I complemented at which a small smile came on his face but he seems a little comfortable maybe he hasn't worn something like that before.

"Come on, I made you breakfast. I don't know what you would like so I made a little of everything" I was nervous as I fiddles with my fingers. He sat on the seat beside mine.

"It smells so nice, this made me finish my work outside hurriedly" he said as he looked at the food and then at me. I smiled at him and then he filled his plate with little of everything. As he took first bite a small came on his face and he closed his eyes for a moment before looking at me.

And the next moment he took my hand and placed a kiss on it startling me in the process. And then he went back to eating as if he hasn't done anything but then I realized it's his way of complementing my food. He believe in actions more than words. And I could feel butterflies in my stomach and tingling sensation at the place where he touched. And I am pretty sure I am blushing profusely. So I looked down at my own plate and ate breakfast

After breakfast with mostly him finishing everything on the table. We went out for a shop, I just wanted to show him some of my favourite places or maybe want to visit them for one last time because even in my heart I know that I will leave with him and that's a given. I can't stay away from him and he can't live here abandoning his kingdom, it would be too evil of me to ask him that. I can't undergo that pain ever again, it was unbearable.

We wander off around the park near my house silently but that silence was not uncomfortable. I think I can stay silent for my whole life if he is beside me. My hand was in his and to others we would look like a couple, a happy couple.

When we were back I told him that I wan to go out for lunch in my favourite place where grandma and I used to visit. He was confused when he looked at my car which means that he has never seen one before. He looked cute and innocent at the moment when he was studying the car with his curious gaze. That curiosity increases even more when I started driving so I took it on me and told him about how Car works. At the end of it he was quite comfortable.

When I parked infront of the restaurant, the nostalgia hit me like a train. Grandma and I are coming here for so many years. This was our happy place.

"Are you okay?" Alpha asked from beside me and I cane back to present.

"Yeah, let's go" I smiled tightly as I stepped out of the car with my hand bag. He followed my lead and we walked inside together.

"My beautiful and my favourite customer" a happy voice of Mr Smith came as soon as he saw me. I smiled lightly at him as he came near me.

"How are you?" He asked me.

"I am good, what about you?" I asked him.

"Fine as old wine" he joked making me chuckle lightly.

"I am sorry Celeste, I heard about Mrs Whitlock and... I am so sorry" he looked sad at which I felt tears in my eyes and I tried my best to not let them go. I but the inside of my cheek to not let myself cry.

"Is he with you?" He asked me sensing my sadness and changed the topic thankfully. He was talking about Alpha whose gaze was on me.

"Yes" I cleared my throat.

"He is a... friend" I said at which Mr Smith smiled and Alpha stiffens and growled lightly which only I could hear.

"Your usual table?" He asked and I nodded.

He showed us to our table and then gave us menu's. I ordered for myself and Alpha when he looked confused looking at it. I ordered steak for both of us and I already know that he would like it.

"Are you fine?" He asked as he looked at me. I nodded but looked away and stilled when my eyes fell on a familiar couple entering inside the restaurant. The guy's eyes fell on me and he tensed, then the person behind him also looked my way and her smile was also gone. Her hand which was around his arm was gone instantly. I wanted to scoff at them but decided to look away from them. They are together that'd a good thing then, they both are made for each other, no doubt.

"Alpha tell me something about you?" I asked him, he was stunned for a moment but then composed himself and was about to speak when an annoying voice interrupted him

"Hey Celeste!" She greeted.
