Deadly Beloved

Blooming Love

: Macey's POV :

I had awoken in strong, heavy, comforting arms. I was being held close to another, and as I slowly looked up, I came to find that that someone was Elijah, who was sleeping peacefully, cuddling me as if I were a teddy. I slowly and awkwardly tried to lift his arm so that I could get up, I only moved it a few inches before it's grip tightened around my waist, a gentle murmur passed Elijah's lips before he moved, though only slightly. His suit
seemed to carefully 'scratch' the skin on my right arm, I turned by head just enough so that I could see his eyes flutter open. He appeared to be in a trance before he slowly and peacefully looked down at me. We looked into one another's eyes for a few moments before I decided to break the silence "Good morning.." I seemed to speak gently, sleepiness apparent in my voice as he seemed only to gaze at me for an extra few moments.

"Good morning little Miss White.." he spoke in a hushed tone, one hand gently stroking my hair as he looked down at me.

I could see the guilt in his eyes, although he did try his best to hide it , it was there. As was the regret, the upset, the self hatred...But there was also love, compassion and caring.

: E.M's POV :

I had..Violated her, no, it didn't go far, but even so...I can't really come to terms with it if i'm perfectly honest. All I could do was hold her close and stroke her silky locks of pale, blonde hair and stare down into her brown eye and her blue eye. She was beautiful, so pure and innocent...I wanted desperately to ask her to be mine..But after such actions..I could never...To think that she would accept such a request after my lustful actions was vile. And yet she lay there in my arms, allowing me to hold her. Perhaps...Maybe there was slither of hope for me yet. I slowly released her and watched as she rose up and stood, I then sat up and looked at her "Macey...May I...Ask you a question?" I couldn't help but stutter and hesitate.

"Of course.." she replied sleepily with a yawn and a stretch, blinking like a maternal doe.

"Now, I know this is an incredibly..Cheeky request, if you will..However..." I stood up and gently her her petite hands in mine "Miss White..Ever since I had first laid eyes upon you...I must say I have been smitten, and I would be honoured if you would forgive my previous actions and consider being mine...For you have stolen my heart, Miss Macey White, in a way no woman has done before.." I spoke warmly, looking into her bi-coloured eyes, I saw her cheeks tint pink as she seemed to be in shock.

: Macey's POV :

My cheeks burned and my heart skipped multiple beats "I don't have to consider your offer Elijah, i've been waiting for you to ask for so long.." I could feel my eyes beginning to well up as I smiled "Yes..." I whispered, which this he gently cupped my chin and kissed my lips tenderly, I savoured the kiss and wrapped my arms around him, pulling him close, as if I were to never let go. Could this possibly be my happy ending? My Prince Charming as they say?
