Claire's POV
"Are you guys stalking me or something?" I asked, kind of weirded out. How does everyone know about the kiss?
"Is this some type of reality TV show that the other realm watches?" I gave him another question. They seemed to just be bursting out of me. This made Valdus let out a chuckle as he shook his head. I could feel my face turning pink, heat filling my cheeks and chest. Was I getting angry? No, probably frustrated with the lack of knowledge.
"Atticus sent me to make sure you were feeling alright." He stated with a smirk. I frowned.
"That still doesn't explain-" he interrupted me.
"Obviously I asked why you wouldn't feel alright and I basically forced the info out of him. It's what bff's do." He stated, pulling out a Hershey bar. I looked at him, and saw a faint resemblance to the wizard working as a butler downstairs. They would make great friends.
My eyes zeroed in on the chocolate bar and I narrowed my eyes at him. He looked jolly unwrapping the chocolate until he looked up at me. He pulled the chocolate bar behind him, looking appalled.
"Fuck no." He said, getting up slowly. I started getting up slowly also. Friends share, right? Apparently wrong, seeing as He made a break for it. The idiot ran out of my room.
"Just one piece!" I shouted, running after him. "Give me a piece!"
"Dobby is a free elf! Dobby obeys no command!" He shouted, and rounded the corner. I ran faster, rounding the corner also, but hitting a strong chest as I was doing so. Arms wrapped around me as my knees went a bit wobbly, almost falling on my non existent butt.
"Claire!" My mothers voice gasped out. I looked up to see who's arms I was in to see red eyes. Atticus, really?
"How undignified and rude!-" she started the lecture, standing next to Atticus. I felt like scoffing, but I was still shocked a bit myself. Where did Valdus go? Why was my mother acting as if Atticus was a king? I mean, he is, but none that she knows.
"It's quite alright." His deep voice grumbled out with a chuckle, silencing her lecture. I backed out of his arms, him letting me go with much reluctance.
"Mother, who-" I started, not finishing my sentence as I let my eyes sweep over Atticus's appearance. He was wearing a suit. Atticus was wearing a suit. Blood red tie, everything else black. His hair was still messy as always, but power still radiated off of him. He gave me a mischievous smirk as my breath caught in my throat.
"Claire, where are your manners?" Mother asked, seeming a bit shocked. I snapped out of my shock as I looked at my mother.
"Uh-" I started. She raised her eyebrow, and I could see Atticus holding in a smile, lips tilting upwards. I pointed behind me.
"I was running..." I started again. Did I really have no words to say?
"Yes, and what are your reasons for running throughout the corridors like some type of maniac?" She questioned. I thought for a second, still frozen.
"There was a roach!" I exclaimed, finally thinking of something to say.
"A roach?" Mother asked slowly, seeming confused. I nodded my head furiously. Blush was covering my cheeks as Atticus stared at me intently.
"I told you to never leave your windows open!" She exclaimed, when in fact, she never told me that before.
"Please excuse me Mr.King, I have to go get one of my maids to deal with this. I will leave you with my daughter Claire for the time being." She said, striding off while narrowing her eyes at me. I did a double take at her words. Did she know that he's a king?! I looked up at him with questions in my eyes.
He gave me a grin, showing me a dimple.
"Mr.King?" I asked, still confused at how my mother was treating him.
"Atticus King. You can call me Atticus." He nodded, taking a step towards me. I automatically took a step back. I almost sighed in relief. She doesn't know that he's a king, that's his name. He raised an eyebrow.
"Or Atty." he said with a moment of thought, taking another step towards me. This time I didn't take a step back. I stood grinning up at him.
"What do you want from my mother, Atty?" I asked in a bitter sweet voice. He winced.
"Nothing from your mother, actually." He stated, his hand cupping my cheek. A thumb brushed over my blush, an expression that I couldn't read took over his features. Hungry was it?
"Atticus King, multi millionaire, looking for a wife. Your mother seemed quite taken with me after lunch, suggesting that I meet her brilliant daughter." He said, a ghost of a smile appearing. My eyes were widening. She was trying to marry me off?! He grinned at me, flashing two fangs. He suddenly backed away, adjusting his suit.
My mother walked back towards us, faking a laugh.
"It was just a grape dear, there are no roaches in our estate." She let out another fake laugh. She was obviously trying to impress Mr.Iabductedyourdaughter over there. I sighed.
"Of course, forgive me mother." I apologized as she nodded.
"Have you been introduced yet?" She questioned as I nodded.
"This is mr.King-" she began anyway. "He will be staying with us for a while." She beamed a smile at him as my eyes widened again. I looked at Atticus and narrowed my eyes. He gave me an innocent smile.
"We shall treat our guest with respect. Tomorrow morning you will give him a tour." She stated as I looked at my mother. I felt like groaning. Isn't that what we have maids for? Instead, I gave her a lame smile and nodded.
"Of course mother." I agreed. She nodded at me.
"Now back to your room, it is quite late for you to be up." She ushered me away from them and turned to walk the other direction. Before Atticus followed her, he turned and held out something to me. I looked down to see a Hershey bar. I took it from him and looked up to see him smile and turn around.
That night, I stuffed my face with chocolate, and grinned to myself. He is so cute.
