Innocent Beautiful Love

Am i dreaming part 2

Finally we reached at the end of the stairs and we turned left where classical music soothingly played but at a corner where no one could spot us Henry eagerly pulled me to him with trembling hands...it gets worse he crushed my lips with his. With wide eyes and breathless I pushed him away. I questioningly glared at him. In response he gave me a cocky grin "you know you liked it as much as I did ...no girl could ever resist me here they'd always stay for a time then leave with child but noone ever suspects the noble Henry" he said with a chuckle "and you'll be no different even if at first you feel this way I can do things that will make you forget you even declined." He finished with a wink. "Well I'm no trollop like your past girlfriends and I'm not interested in this af-
He cut me off with another kiss while his hand roamed places I only touched when I had a bath... And although I pushed him away he forced himself closer...my screams came out as muffles in his mouth and I felt helpless because no one would here my silent pleas and the soft struggles due to the music. All I could do was pray someone would see us ...no sooner had I thought this with furious tears strolling down someone pulled Henry away and started punching him without mercy. It was then when tables crashed and kettles broke that everyone in urgency ran towards the scene before my eyes. Edmund pried away the individual defending me from Henry. I wondered whom it was; never had I seen such a person here ...not that I've been here that long but still... He did however have the same body built and his hair was also a deep blonde as Chris' ...I brushed aside the stupid misconception that this individual; one who fought off a man for me ,could be Chris and directed my attention to what was happening. At this point the individual though eager to push past and punch my predator again gave up seeing that he couldn't escape Edmund's strong hold. Raising his hands in surrender he said "fine, fine" forcefully...
Hearing his voice I thought... no I have to be dreaming it can't be him...can it ...by God no it can't be. When he spun around and strode up to me to ask "Are you OK love?" With actual concern glowing in his eyes my throat became dry and I just stared at him...I couldn't move I couldn't even wink even the free tears that were rolling seemed to freeze on my face ...it is you. Chris' deep blue eyes gazed into mine...but way past them they gazed into my soul and I felt I don't know, liked...but from him that was more than good enough. "She's in shock." He stated through clenched teeth ....damn right I'm in shock but am I in shock over the fact that you called me love or because you just pummeled a man for me or because you look so concerned or because you're here ...no I can't decide which shocks me more. "Shocked.. What for ...what happened here Christopher?" The duchess enquired glaring at Chris.
"You asked to check why Kaylee was taking so long right?" The duchess nodded urging him to go on "well she was forcefully being kissed by this disgusting piece of dung you have here that's why she was so late" as Chris said this his anger once again became sky high. Seeing this Edmund said "Christopher take Kaylee to her room and stay there with her until your temper cools." Without a word or a slight glimmer of restraint he scooped me up in his arms quite effortlessly forcing me to wrap my arms around his neck and laying my head on his chest to prevent an accident. He walked briskly taking the steps two at a time without uttering a word.
We arrived at my door and he opened it removing his right hand that held my back. He walked in gently placed me on the bed placed the sheets over me and started pacing. As if just realising the door was open he walked over locked it and resumed his pacing. "What if I wasn't there, what if he went further, what if he raped you ...how would I explain this to you father I'm supposed to be protecting you, you're my responsibility...your mine. Why does everyone think they can hurt you don't they get that if they hurt you they hurt me don't they get that! That's why I'm so glad your dad gave me your dory and the OK to wed you and so now everyone will know never to try harming or coming nigh you again...I was going to tell you all this tonight at the dinner but that's ruined but what better time to do this than now so that I can be there as your strength in these times so I'm making it official....Kaylee Spence will you marry me?" I kept silent throughout his entire speech my mouth gaping open when he said some heart rendering things but I couldn't keep quiet now..."Chris I mean Christopher I can't marry you ... You don't love me and I know I don't mean anything but a charity case to you and you're with Brenda I want to but its not fair to you." I said with tears "you're so right ...you mean nothing to me and I don't love you and all the persons I don't love who means nothing to me I send them across the sea to somewhere safe from their own family I pay their expense and everything...Kaylee sarcasm aside I'm crazy over you."
"Then why were you with Brenda?"
"I was with Brenda but it was to get close to you I know it was wrong but I had no other option because I knew your mother would never let me court you. I had to make it seem real ... I'm sorry. Kaylee l love you with all my heart and that dearest is the truth."
