SCARS AND BRUISES II fate : winx saga

love

"Love - a simple word, a deep meaning."

Scar's POV:

"Princess", Alex greets me the next day and gives me a kiss on my hairs. Sky, Riven and Stephen will leave today. I'm sure that I'll see them soon. Alex also suggested that we could visit them so he could get to know the girls as well but it's still sad to see them packing their bags into the car. 

I didn't have enough time to hang out with them. I was especially hoping to hang out with Riven like we used to. Smoking a joint is probably an issue when being a queen. At least Alex is here and we enjoy being around each other. I take a look at him and immediately smile. 

He's supported me. He's been listening to me. He's been sharing his secrets with me. We're a good team. Stephen made me realize that I actually trust Alex. I wasn't so sure before, I could also be blinded by wanting to like him but I actually do. I instinctively take his hand in mine making him smile down at me.

"You're staring at me", he notices. "I'm not staring. I'm admiring", I correct him giving his cheek a light kiss. "It's the same thing, love." Love. I could get used to this. It feels so intimate and close. Like mom and Saul. Saul teached me to wait for a man who'd risk it all for the one. 

I understand what he means now. He's risked it all for Sky and I and he'd risk it all for mom. He's raised the bar. Alex tightens his grip around me and buries his face in the crook of my neck. His stubble scratches my skin but I don't really mind it. "It most definitely is not", I say pretending to be outraged but his breath on my skin lets my voice sound shaky. 

"Later, love." I feel Alex grin into my neck as he watches if anyone could notice how close we actually are. He raises his head more quickly than I imagined him to do so. "Is this a dare or a promise?", I smile flirting making him chuckle. "Both, princess." I've never been into nicknames but it's different with Alex.

"We're ready", Sky announces and walks up to us first. "You're alright, Alex, so don't mess with her. I don't want you to end up shot by little thunderbolts or your head mashed up by disturbed emotions", Sky tells Alex making me roll my eyes. Alex however giggles. 

"No worries, we're fine", Alex nods and gives Sky a brotherly hug, "Take care of you." "We'll see each other soon, alright?", Sky promises me as he walks over to me for a tight hug. "Of course. At least we didn't fight this time", I joke. Sky and I don't often fight.

The past two years have only been very complicated with him and Stella breaking up, me and Stephen messing around, Rosalind and dad coming back and more. Still we've always managed to stay strong together. Riven and Stephen say goodbye to Alex as Sky walks over to mom and Saul. Saul and Sky.. I'm glad they've settled their issues when he found out about Saul almost killing dad. 

"S, I know you'll miss me but you'll see me again", Riven jokes making me shake my head. This guy is unbelievable yet so full of love he wouldn't believe it if he saw what I see. "Sure, I'm heartbroken", I reply dryly as I hug him. "He's so done when you're back, isn't he?", I ask Stephen sighing. It must have been hard for him to be here especially so close with Riven. Although I've seen them laugh together a few times.. Interesting new friendship. "What can I do? Big mouth, big rules." 

"Don't be so harsh to him", I ask him nicely, "I've heard that an old, wise friend of mine wasn't always innocent either." "I guess you're talking about the soldier of the year, huh?", he shows off himself. "It's been one point difference, Stephen. No need to fall in love with yourself", Alex adds. I look from one to the other interested. Sounds like I haven't heard about their history a lot. But they also seem to get closer again.

"By the way.. I've been talking to Dominic", Alex tells me so only I can hear him as we walk back to the castle, "I know you've had a rocky start but he's glad that it's you who's going to be with me." "Is he?", I ask surprised. I can't even believe it. Dominic didn't seem like he could ever even be fine with being around with. Especially after our quick fight. 

"What did he say?", I ask interested so I could confront him about his lies. He doesn't need to like me but he shouldn't tell Alex lies. I know these games and I most definitely won't play it. I'll either stop it or win it before Dominic even starts. 

"He's been worried about me but he's realized that you're different from what he's expected and that you and I seem to fit. I mean, there was no reason for him to be worried but I'm his brother so I guess he was trying to be protective. He's hated Becca from the beginning, you know." "Interesting", I nod but smile at Alex. He believes his lies so it's my time to reveal Dominic's true self to the right time. Alex deserves so much more than such a shitty brother.

I needed a break from thinking of a way to tear Dominic down so I went to the gym in the basement of the castle. Right now I'm boxing to reveal my anger. "A princess working out in a box ring", I hear Dominic behind me and instantly turn around surprised. 

How'd he find me here? More importantly, why'd he has to get on my nerves now? I've been thinking about his lies enough. "Excuse me but I'd like to be on my own", I quickly state not wanting to interact with him for too long. I won't fall for his lies. Yet he comes closer and closer. Didn't he hear my words?

"What the hell are you doing?", I exclaim not caring about my language when he's way too close to me. I've taken a few steps back until my back ended up against the wall. What's his damn plan, kill me? Yeah, well, not going to happen. 

I know how to defend myself which is why I push him off of me when his face comes closer to mine each second. Would he kiss me - his brother's soon to be wife? Weird. "Don't touch me", I hiss warning making him stay back. Well, at least as much far away as before he was about to kiss me.
