To Be Loved

Under the willow tree

Alex POV

Mathew and I sat under the willow tree in the garden. I had my head leaned on his shoulder. While he had one of his arms around me. In his other hand he held the saluted crackers packages.

"Sweetheart will you tell me that day when you were six? The one I overheard." He asked.

"The one when I was sick?" I asked

"Yes."

"Alright."

Young Alex POV

I was playing with my toys in my play room when I sneezed. My body started to hurt a little. Getting up I went to find my mommy.

I walked down the staircase when i came across my daddy's head butler Matthew. "Uncle Mattie."

"Yes my young lady." He said bowing down to my little level.

"Where's mommy?" I asked

"In the drawing room." He kissed the top of my head and walked away

"Ok" I made my way to the drawing room. I walked in and saw her. "Mommy."

She looked up. "Yes baby."

"Mommy I feel yucky." I coughed out.

She got up and walked over to me she picked me up and felt my forehead. "Your burning up sweetheart." She held me close.

I lead my head on her shoulder. A few minutes later I heard my father and Matthew walk in.

"Is she alright M'lady?" Matthew asked.

My father came closer. He came closer to us. "What's wrong pumpkin?"

I looked at him. "I feel yucky daddy."

"She burning up darling." My mom told my dad.

He looked at me and felt my forehead. Then picked me up. Holding me in his big arms he looked at my uncle. "Cancel all my meetings." He looked at me. "I'm going to be with my daughter."

"Yes sir." Matthew walked away after leaving a kiss on my forehead. "Feel better little one."

My dad carried me up to mt over sized bedroom. He got me changed and layed my down on my bed. I layed there beside me and pulled me closer to his body.

A small sneeze escaped from my little body. He got a tissue and put it against my nose. "Blow sweetheart." I did what I was told.

He then throw it in the trash and rubbed my back. A few minutes later he put on a movie and we watched it together with watched all kinds of movies.

I fell asleep for the night in his arms. The next morning when i woke up he was still laying beside me. He pet my hair out of my face. And just layed there with me all day.

Adult Alex POV

I looked at Mathew. "He never left my side those days that I was sick."

"You named me after your old head butler right? What type of person was he?" He asked.

I smiled at his thought. "Matthew was a great man. He did a lot around the manor and for my dad. I don't how to describe him. He was always laughing, making jokes spending a lot time with me making my smile and happy no matter what. He would sneak my treats every now and again. Sometimes before a meals tell me if he gives this to me now that i still had to eat my supper or whatever meal it was. He was just such a goofy person. When my parents died he was still trying to keep a smile on my face. His smile was the last thing was on his face when he was killed. He died protecting me. He threw a knife at the killer after he was stabbed. He died in my arms. Smiling." Tears started to fall down my hot checks. "I miss him." I said smiling.

I told him all about growing up all the memories that I had about my parents and my uncle. He seemed to enjoy them. Asking questions about them about me.

"Why did you want to know Mathew?" I questioned.

"Well if were going to be with each other then I want to know all the thing about you. About my beautiful mistress." He kissed me on my check. He smiled at me.

We sat there enjoying the nice day for the time being but I could see the the black clouds weren't down yet it was going to rain again. Mathew and I just sat there talking to each other. I nibbled on more crackers while you were there.

I got up and sat on his lap and cuddled into his neck. He wrapped his arms around me keeping me from falling. I wrapped my arms around his neck.

He was so warm so safe. "I love you Mathew." I said kisses his check.

I felt him smile. "I love you so Alex." He hugged me tight the loosened a little. But still had his arms around me. "I love you and our little one." He placed one hand on my stomach as his other arm was kept around me. I smiled and let his hand be.

We were given a sheet of questions and were told to design our own character and I had already made Alexandria so I did it on her. One question was to make up a past for our character so thats was I did. So I hope that you like it. There are so much more chapters to be uploaded so can't wait until next week.
