My Princess

Part title

Maria's POV

I woke up with a very messed up headache, I don't know how I got into my room, I started to look around me, until I found Xavier sitting on the couch by my bed. He was asleep, but he looked so good, I tried to examine his looks and i found blood on his white shirt, with some bruises on his knuckles. I have no memory of what happened last night but it seemed serious.

"Xavier..?" I managed to call his name in a hushed tone a part of me wanted him to hear me and a part of me didn't. He opened his eyes that shined like a star in the middle of a dark night, "yes? Are you okay?" He surprised me, he looked worried, extremely worried. "Yeah I'm alright...my head hurts and my arms feel sore...what happened?" I said that while looking at the purple bruises on my arms "who's blood is that?" He was afraid to speak but he had to explain "you were drunk and some fucker tried to take advantage of you.." he managed to say that as he got out of his chair "I'm sorry i didn't look out for you properly, I didn't want to interfere with you a lot when you were leaving, I should've at least asked where you were going" he sounded sad and disappointed "I'll leave you to get changed maybe take a shower too, I'll make you something to eat" He was always caring for me, always careful about everything around me, if a fly annoyed me he'd shot it with cold blood.

------------------------

After some time Xavier had changed into something more comfortable and took a quick shower he managed to kill the dried blood off his hands before making her something to eat with a cup of coffee, he knocked on the door before going into her room with the food tray, she was still in the shower which bought him some time to clean her room up since it was a little messy.

She heads out of the bathroom in her bathrobe when she realized he is sitting on the couch with the food on the table while he scanned through his phone.

"Good morning..?" She said with a smile that was followed by a laughter "giving me some princess treatment cause you feel bad?" He was surprised by that comment "good morning drunk queen, it's your birthday and i had to do something for you, plus you deserve a princess treatment throughout your whole life" he claimed as he was heading towards the door "well, too bad I don't give a chance for someone to even try and give me a princess treatment" she chuckles "eat well darling I'll head out really quick I have to get something I'll be back in few don't get wasted while I'm gone" he laughed on his way out.

He makes a quick run to the closest florist and gets her a huge bouquet and he makes sure its all in the color violet since it has always been her favorite color, on his way he stops by another store and grabs her a new dress and a pair of heels then asks for them to be wrapped in a box.

He heads home the house is quiet as usual but it's filled with good quietness, not the awkward one that has been there for a good year. He makes his way to her room, just as he was about to knock, she opens the door. "OH MY GOD? Xavier what is all this?" She gasped and took a step back with a cute smile forming slowly on her face as she tries to process what's happening, "Princess treatment much?" He chuckles as he said that handing the gifts and the flowers out to her. She sat down to open her gift when he stopped her.

"Before you open them Maria can we have a small talk?" he felt nervous saying that but proceeds as she nods her head "last night you said stuff, I..I know I shouldn't think much about them but I can't control it Maria.." she froze, her face went pale "oh shit. What did I say? Was I being offensive or rude? I'm so sorry if I was-" he cuts her off "Maria, do you like me?" She couldn't help but blush, her face was turning red she didn't know what to say, "Maria last night you drove me insane. Please if you do just say it. I'm begging you" she felt shy and embarrassed but she decided that it's time to speak up "Xavier, I hated the fact that you were labeled my uncle It was fucking bothering me the entire time I couldn't help but fall for you every time I saw you but the fact that you were my uncle made me hate myself, when you told me the truth I was happy but disappointed." She finally got off her silence and said the truth.
