You and Me

chapter 5

Veralee had forgotten about everything. About what happened last night.About Baela hating her. She forgot all of if.She was so happy for Desdemona and  had just spent the rest of the morning celebrating. She couldn't believe it. Although Veralee would be lying if she said the topic and discussion of a child did not scare her.She knew that very soon she would be in bed again with her husband on top her as he put in heir after heir, into her.The thought it self made Veralee shiver.

Veralee walked into the dinning hall and walked up to the same seat as breakfast beside Jacaerys. Upon arriving Veralee gave him a small awkward smile. She was unsure of where they stood together. last night was just duty, and a vulnerable moment of trust.

Jacaerys returned her smile with a warm one as they both stood behind their seats waiting for the queen. Once the queen arrived everyone took there seats after her. Veralee still felt like an outsider.She really didn't feel comfortable in the red keep one but. It was all to foreign to her. She didn't feel like herself at all.

"prayers" Alicent announced. everyone shut there eyes and put there hands together. Alicent began to prey out loud but it all went through one yer and out the other. This reminded her of to much of her mother, and that really put her mood off.

Once prayer ended, everyone began feasting similar to breakfast and started their normal conversations with each other. Veralee again being left out decided the time to sort out her thoughts and plan how she was going to manage here. She felt a loss in appetite due to alicent praying and didn't really eating much. However Veralee's has had spent years struggling with her problems and knows pretty well by now, she has to. She came up with a routine she must follow. So for lunch she plated an ok amount of carbohydrates, and focused a good portion on vegetables. Veralee sat through an hour of jokes she didn't really get but everyone else seemed. to enjoy, something about a pig. Either way, Vera was glad lunch had ended and was in the hallways just outside the dinning hall when she heard someone call her name.

"Vera" Jace said catching up to the read head. She stopped and turned to look at him.

"Is something wrong?" Veralee askes, Not really sure to why he would want to talk to her.

"wrong? Why would u think that" Asked Jace as he came to stand beside her.

" I'm not really sure, but we haven't spoken since today morning and urm.., It's stupid never mind" Vera tried to justify but started to feel dumb upon hearing her-self out.

"No,no, it's ok. I just. Wanted know how your are doing here. We haven't spoken since today morning" Jace spoke

"Oh, urm, I am still adjusting. This all still feels very foreign to me but I have my ladies which help a lot" Veralee answered.

"that's great, Are you doing anything now" Jace asked

"I was visiting my family I have not seen them since yesterday" Veralee answered.

"Right, well I'll let you get back to that than" He said giving her a slight nod, before walking off. He was going to find his mother on advice about his marriage. When he first heard about it, he absolutely did not want to do it or have any relationship with her. He should have been glad that they barely interacted, but for some reason he really felt this need to at least build a friendship with her. He managed to on the wedding day. But then again that was different it all lead up to that night which required trust.So that meant she trusted him right? Jace was lost in a sea of his own thoughts and at this point just needed some advice.

"Jacerys" A voice called out, snapping Jace out of his thoughts

"Daemon" Jace greeted back

"You seem tense" Daemon observed.
