Beldina the Beautiful

The morning after

Beldina opened her eyes to a dull light, she waited until her eyes adjusted to the dimness in the room, as a smile formed on her lips, she grinned from one ear to the other, and her tugged on her hand to see that she was still being held by Jardans hand, smiling at herself again she could feel the giddy feeling somersaulting in the pit of her stomach, she tried to stop the small sighs escaping her mouth but some how she was much to happy. She could still feel his heat around her hand the warmth enveloping her own, he had staid with her all night holding her hand and whispering in her ear sweet nothings and that she would be all right, and that he wouldn't leave her, sighing as her eyes darted to his still sleeping form, his head was laid on the mattress next to her, so close that she could touch his curly hair, the silken strands had fallen over his arm onto chest, he smelt so good thought,  it was morning but much too early for them to wake, looking over at the  clock she notices it still only four in the morning. Trying to sleep again Beldina closes her eyes, but the excitement that was bubbling up inside her wasn't given her any chance of that, puffing out her cheeks she turns to look at Jardan again smiling, damn she had to stop that, he had only sat with her, it was normal sort of, people did that, didn't they, then she watched as Jardan began to stir, and she couldn't pull her eyes away no matter how much she tried she wanted to watch him wake up beside her,  Jardan was awakening and she watched as he slowly opened his eyes slightly lifting his head from the mattress next to her lifting his silky strands and looks straight at her,  looking back at him and  wondering what kind of man sat all night with someone that he was supposedly hunting down, "Hey, your awake." She says before she could shut herself up, she sounded too excited, she didn't need him to think that she was hitting on him, so Beldina smiles sweetly at him slowly dislodging her fingers from his, Jardan tries to straighten up but he doesn't move back, he takes his hand back slowly and coughs as if he is suddenly uncomfortable and embarrassed that he had still been holding her hand, which she didnt care for one minute, she had liked it too much, pulling his hand back and rubbing it with the other he says softly almost whispering, "Cramp I think." smiling and melting her insides, oh god she was being stupid, he had only sat up with her, cleaned her puke and held her hair, and he had done all this for what?

Beldina lifts herself up onto her elbows aligning herself eye to eye with him, and she watched as he rubs his hand and arm, "Sorry about that." Beldina says avoiding his eyes with her own embarrassment,  Jardan shakes his head with another stunning smile and says, "Its of no importance, are you well? Do you feel better?" Beldina nods enthusiastically and amazingly so, she felt great smiling meekly at him she gives him a flutter of her eyes and says, "Thanks for sitting up with me or sleeping with me..." But before she realises what she has said she watches Jardans face brake into a broad smile and lifts one brow, Beldina's eyes widen and quickly adds,  waving her hands about frantically, "I meant thank you for staying with me last night." Jardan laughs again deeply as he watches her beautiful green eyes flick from side to side from embarrassment, she often rolls her eyes, and he had found it fascinating the first time they had met, and the way her neck and cheeks turn red like it was now, the way her eyes widen and the way she bites her bottom lip and leans her head to one side, he had noticed all these things about her because he liked her,  but in truth he  had actually liked staying with her last night although he was stiff and sore, he actually enjoyed the feeling of being of help to her, she had been drunk, scared and frightened, all her feelings had poured out of her because of the alcohol she had drunk, and he had liked it, because she had portrayed herself to him in more ways than she would have normally, and he didn't want her to feel like that again, and he knew that he wouldn't be able to finish his mission, he would not take this woman back to them, he would however go back with her as a friend and he would help her to solve what she could and put to rest her mixed feelings about her mother and her home, he wanted to help her, rubbing his head he realised that he had made this decision the first moment he had met her at her booth that evening, he had liked her then, and he wanted to do it, this was what surprised him, he had never felt like this about any of the girls from his homeland, he hadn't even really been out with many, he just didn't want to, he had never really connected with any of them, he wanted to be here though, with Beldina.
