Talia (Completed)

Of course

*Talia's P.O.V.*

I watched as Charles made his way over and sat next to me. Well, slouched. He his back against the arm rest and his arms spread across the back off the couch.

"So, what do you know of my history?"

"Your mother, for starters. She moved here with you when you were 17. Your father passed away from lung cancer and you needed a new start."

As he continued telling me family history, I couldn't help but let a few tears out. I breathed deeply, trying to calm my emotions.

"I'll stop there, you already know that" He laughed nervously.

"Thanks... And, Urm..."

"Want me to talk?"

I nodded.

"I know all about your family history. Actually, I knew your father,"

I looked up at him, the last tear making it's way out.

"He worked with my company for a little while. He was a good man. He told me often about you. Your beauty. Your hair. And how your smile lights up the room... He was right" He smiled.

I gave out a small giggle as a memory of my father floated into my mind.

"So, why am I so important again?" I sniffled.

"He said someone should protect. He said I was perfect. He said .... I could make you happy, without doing anything. Just .... being there"

I gulped as I looked back down. I noticed he was holding my hands with his own. I smiled and fell forward. I pushed him a little down the couch as I rolled over until he was holding me. I felt his arms tighten around him as I snuggled into him.

"Will you? Protect me..."

I felt him breath in heavily as he started to stroke my hair. As he continued doing so, I tilted my head to be met by his gaze. He smiled down at me and planted a kiss on my forehead.

"Of course"
