My Tears Ricochet // Alicent Hightower

8. Kiss Her

Kiss her drunk and see what happens. Alicent knocked on Davinas open door. Davina smiled back at her waving her to the balcony.

"Look at our babies." Davina coed as Alicent hugged her from behind peering over her shoulder.

''Hi.''

''Hi.'' Aemond echoed as Draeya got closer.

''Whats with that face?'' Draeya asked touching his chin.

''What? What face? This face? This is my normal face. My totally cool face.'' Aemond informed her.

''Oh is it? It looks more like your nervous whats Draeya about to do face.'' Draeya countered.

''Wh-what are you going to do?" Aemond offered.

''What do you think?" Draeya pondered. ''What do you want me to do?"

''If I say it you are going to laugh at me thinking such things.'' Aemond countered.

''Tell me. I might be thinking the same thing."

''You might?" Aemond whispered

''I might.'' Draeya agreed. He let out a deep breath as Draeya got closer. Davina smirked from the balcony as she watched them.

"About damn time those two kissed." Davina whispered.

"Yeah." Alicent agreed softly sighing into her.

"Well?" Draeya asked Aemond blinked back at her but then she kissed him and Aemond was sure his heart stopped.

''Mama stop them!" Haenry demanded. Alicent flinched back and Davina jumped her cup slipped from her fingers.

''Seven hel-" davina declared looking to a nervous Haenry before she stared down at her broken cup on the courtyard floor below. "Sorry Larys!" Davina called down. "Good thing you are not so fast or else that would have got you." Davina mused. Larys stared up at her a moment longer before continuing on his way. "You see what you did I could have killed Larys." Alicent let out a settling breath. They were not doing anything she had no reason to be jumpy. She was just watching their children from the balcony with her best friend. Nothing wrong with that. Yet alicents heart raced all the same.

"Mama you cant let them be in love!" Haenry declared.

''Shes not in love shes just testing him out.'' Davina offered.

"Testing him out..." Alicent repeated curiously.

''Could she test me instead?" Haenry countered.

''You would have to ask her that.'' Davina reminded him.

''But what if she says no and marries Aemond and never knows how much I love her?" Haenry demanded.

''Talk to her. Be honest.'' Davina instructed. ''Can I tell you a secret love?"

''Is it going to make me feel better?" Haenry countered.

''Possibly not.'' Davina admitted. ''But im going to tell you anyways. I loved a man that was wrong for me. It took losing him to find myself to find the man I was meant to be with.''

"Meant to be." Alicent whispered looking out at Draeya and Aemond again.

''He who shall not be named.'' Haenry agreed.

''Yes. I had to kiss a few frogs before I met my knight. My Harwin your father. Tell her how you feel and when words dont work show her how you feel.'' Davina instructed. ''Your daddy and I talk all the time about everything. No secrets between us. Which is why I love him more and more each day.''
