Pretty little promises (Mialotte)

Chapter 17 | magical

(Mia's pov)

Weakly, Char breaks out from under the blanket and throws her arms around me, as I gently stroke her back in soothing motions.
"Sweetheart, it's all okay." I breathed out.
Her loud sobs slowly progressed into sniffles as she took many deep breaths. As her chest rested on me, I felt her heart racing and her whole body still shaking roughly. Softly, I pushed her to my side, her head automatically rested on me and our hands linked.
"Okay baby, do you want to tell me what's wrong?" I asked in my most caring voice as possible.
"It's just, my past.." she responded with light tears dripping down her sodden cheeks.
"I see, sweetheart. If you're ever feeling like this again, you can always tell me." I smiled.
"Thank you, Amelia." Charlotte let out as we locked in eye contact.
I broke the eye connections by blurting out, "Amelia?"
"Yeah, Amelia Roberts. That is your name." Charlotte replied with a cheeky grin balancing on her face.
"Well, yes but-" I began until she interrupted me,
"You liked that, didn't you?"
I froze.
Char continued, "You like being called Amelia. I'll make a mental note of that, Amelia."
A smirk playfully danced over my lips and I felt as my cheeks blush a bright shade of pink.
Char leaned in and kissed my lips gently.
"Thank you for being there." She whispered out.

I can't believe we had our first kiss.
It was magical.
It felt like it was out of a Disney movie. I mean she is my princess.
I vaguely remember when as a little kid, I would gaze out of my window, wishing to find my true love like the royalties do in the movies.
After I wished on a star, I would blow a kiss into the sky hoping that my soulmate would receive it. Although I'm unsure if she did, I know she's definitely receiving them in person, now.
A bubble of inspiration blew in my mind as I gazed over at Char who was still in awe of the kiss.
"Princess, how would you feel about watching a movie?"
I asked, sweetly.

(Charlotte's pov)

Princess? I love that new nickname, it makes me feel so much more confident and pretty.
With the distraction of the pet-name, I couldn't concentrate on what she was saying, so I just nodded in response.
I got taken out of my thoughts when Mia spoke,
"You really enjoyed that kiss didn't you? You haven't stopped smiling."
I felt my cheeks flush a bright pink before my grinning continued and I giggled,
"Who knew you would be such a good kisser?"

From there, we both sat in comfortable silence for around five minutes until she broke it by asking,
"What movie would you like to watch, baby? I was thinking something by Disney."
A gasp made its way out of my lungs as I spoke,
"It's like you can read my mind!"

We both laughed cutely before turning out the tv that lay on the wall, directly across from Mia's bedroom.
From there we binge watched many Disney original romance movies before Mia turned to me, beaming as she turned on her speaker.
"May I have this dance?" She politely whispered into my ear, her hot breath tickling down my neck.
"You may." I answered before taking her hand and she lead me to my feet while positioning her arms around my waist.
A famous song from a Disney movie began to play as I mumbled along the lyrics and cuddled closer to her.
Our rhythmic dancing swayed around her room in a synchronised pattern.

"I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream
I know you, that look in your eyes is so familiar a gleam
And I know it's true that visions are seldom all they seem
But if I know you, I know what you'll do
You'll love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream"
