SCARS AND BRUISES II fate : winx saga

tiny cabin

"Ready for the time of our lives."

A few days later, Alex and I have grown closer than before our first misunderstanding. On our last date we were having a picnic in the woods. "It's time for you to announce the relationship", William tells me as him, Saul, mom and I sit in his office. 

Well, Sky, Stephen and Riven are also here. Sky is supposed to be here as my brother and Stephen sneaked in as Saul's brother. It doesn't matter if there's one more person to join the round table. Alani could be here as well.. 

"It's only been a month. Don't you think this is quite early?", Stephen intervenes, "We've got seven more months to plan the wedding." "Isn't the coronation more important anyways?", Riven asks. God, these two couldn't be more obvious. William gives them a serious look and Saul tries to ignore it. 

"You're here to listen, not speak", he simply obeys and turns to me, "Scar, what do you think of it?" "I'd like to get to know him better for some time before we announce the relationship. Can you give me a week?" "A week? Studies have shown that-" "We don't take a look at studies here, Stephen. Thank you", William interrupts his words half jokingly half seriously. 

Sassy William.. interesting. I kinda prefer this kind of William over the strict one. The sassy William would probably stop the wedding.. It's not like it's about Alex but I'm still not emotioanlly ready to marry someone. How could I? I had to jump from seeing Stephen again over having to decide between him and Riven to marrying a stranger. Seems like it's enough emotional trouble for a lifetime. 

"We're planning to have another date this saturday and then we can announce the news." "Fine then this meeting is over", William smiles politely and stands up to go and do something else that involves my relationship and that I really don't need to know. It's better if I don't know about it.

"Stephen and Riven being here kind of messed it up, hm?", Saul asks me when it's finally just him, mom and I for a moment. Sky made Stephen and Riven leave with him so I could finally have some minutes off. I wouldn't mind meditating or reading a book for a day. This actually sounds like heaven to me. 

"I mean I know I have to get anything from the past out of my mind and Alex is friendlier and more normal than I've expected him to be but I didn't get used to this situation yet. How would I marry someone like him? I'm probably anything else than his parents expect me to be. He said-" 

"Whatever he said, Scar, it doesn't matter. They need you, not the other way around. Plus, I'm always here to support you. I wasn't always easy when it came to your and relationships but you also know that I think no one would be good enough for you so you'd rather stay alone.. in my opinion." 

"I know.. I actually think that Alex is quite good enough.. no, I'm wondering if I'm good enough for him. He's been talking to me about how he'd wanted to just do something normal.. something that everyone else does. He's not a prince like anyone else. He's better. And I'm anything else but normal. Just because I'm doing better here, we cannot forget about the issues that I've had before. I'm not good at anything." 

"Scar, love, don't say and don't think something like this", mom tells me softly standing up to hug me, "You're right about not being normal. You're just being yourself and that's the best way that you can be. I'm so proud that you're rather yourself with all the sad and happy moments than to live every day like the other. Not being normal is the best that you could do." 

I smile at mom. This is exactly what I've been hoping for whenever I was wondering where mom might be.. when I was told that she's left us. I wanted this kind of relationship. It took us many years to share these emotions but here we are. Waiting was more than worth it. 

"Alex' brother has married Diaspro's sister. Can we call off the wedding for this at least? I cannot be a part of the same family as her", I groan more jokingly now. "Believe me, I'd rather kidnap you to the first world than to have you sit at one table with her if I could", Saul jokes grinning. 

"Sounds like there's something you need to tell me about. What did this girl do?", mom asks confused but also interested so Saul and I grin at each other and begin to tell her about Diaspro's many attempts to amaze Sky.. anything from flirting to using her magic.

Saul and I had fun explaining our relationship with Diaspro to mom. After I got back to my room, I made myself ready for the date with Alex and here we are riding on our motorbikes to the cabin in Eraklyon's woods for out first night together. We'd have dinner together, play games, joke, laugh, and anything else that we might do in the heat of the moment.

"Thank you for spending the night with me. I promise I won't kidnap or drug you", Alex chuckles as we enter the cabin which is more like a chalet. It's not that big but it's got a tiny kitchen, a small bathroom and a smaller area with some comfortable seats and a perfect bed. It's big but not too big so we would still be forced to be close. I actually can't wait to lay in it and feel Alex' arm around me and how it would feel if he would kiss me and- 

"Are you listening to me?", Alex interrupts my thoughts grinning at me. "Excuse me, I got lost in my thoughts", I apologize shaking my head so I might think clearly once again. Don't act weird, Scar.. "You were staring at the bed", Alex states amused making me blush. 

"We should try this wine out, don't we? I've heard it's great", I change the topic and grab the wine out of our basket and fill two glasses with it, mine is pretty much empty after a few sips. Alex notices this and leans over to me. "Are you alright?", he asks softly, "No need to be nervous, princess." Is it me or is his voice raspy? We just got here and I've already managed to making this situation weird. Great.. 

"I'm not nervous", I claim, "This wine is just so tasty." I'm about to fill my glass once more when Alex is quicker than I taking the bottle. He fills the glass and I immediately take it for another few sips to pretend that this hasn't heated up quickly. Alex instead leans over to me and presses me against the kitchen counter softly letting his hands rush over my skin from my chest to my stomach to my sensitive zone. This happened so quickly but I'm already ready for him. "Didn't we feel like this would happen?", he whispers against my ear huskily, "Let's finally take care of this tension."
