Loving him

Taylor's POV

When I got to the castle the doors open to the same gentleman who did the last time I was here. When I walked in I saw Maximus. My heart was beating faster. My eyes met his greenish brownish eyes. Was I in love? I keeper asking to my self. "Hello Taylor I'm very happy to see you". He said it with a warm smile, my eyes still on him him. "I'm happy to see you too Maximus". He came to me and held my hand and said. "Come to my garden we can go there and talk". I smiled at him and followed him. His hand was so soft and warm I never wanted to let go. When we got to the garden it was beautiful so many flowers, and the warm breeze was perfect. When we walked through the garden I saw a table for two and two chairs. He pulled my chair out and sat on the other chair across from me. "so how was the ball"? He asked with a smirk on his face. "It was fun. But not when I was asked by my father to marry the kings son. But thank god the queen called me so I was able to walk away with out answering". He looked at me with still a smirk on his face. "What did she want"? why was he smirking I think he's making fun of me? OMG he's still smirking and looking at me with those eyes. Those eyes that make me melt inside. "She gave me a ruby necklace, but it wasn't from her she said it was some young gentleman who gave it to her and asked to give this to me". He looks at me and says. "oh. Do you know who that young gentleman is"? I look at him and he still has that smirk on his face and then it hit me. "It was you who have that to her and told her to give it to me".

"Yes it was".

"But why didn't you give it to me yourself"?

"Cause your father. I didn't want him to see me". We talked about a lot of things, about our childhood, and many more. But then it was silent until he broke the silence and said.

"Where's your mother"? My eyes were filling with tears, my mind was going crazy until I looked at him. He saw my tears in my eyes until I talked and that's when they started to go down my cheek.

"I was 5 years old when she died. And I saw it all".

***Flashback***

"Mommy, mommy look what I can do"!

"Be careful sweetie, your gonna fall off the wall and your gonna hurt yourself"!

"I promise mommy I won't fall"!

"Come on sweetie lets go cross the road we need to go and get some cookies for miss lily and them"!

Boom! boom! boom!

"Mommy! Noooooo!"

***End of flash back***

While I was crying and talking Maximus was holding me.

"My mother got hit by a car that was driving fast. the car went all the way across her and they didn't even stop. I was there with my mother while she was bleeding out. Until somebody saw me and called 911". He looked at me and saw that my eyes were red. He kissed my four head and was still holding me and took me to one of the rooms. He was pretty strong to carry me and go up the stairs. When we got to a room that was so big and pretty, he laid me down on the bed. "I'm sorry that you saw your mother die like that". I sat up and looked at him. But he wasn't looking at me.

"Why would you be sorry"?

"Cause I went through the same problem when I was 6".

"What happened"?

"She died cause my father he was a mad man he abused her. Every time she would see my father she would tell me to go to my room cause she knew what was going to happen. Well the last time I saw her and my father they were in there room, and my father was beating her with a candle holder I ran up to him and I tried to tell him to stop but he hit me with it. And when my mom grabbed him and pushed him out of the way she grabbed me and put me in my room. And she told me never treat anybody like this and if anything happens to me please promise me that you'll stay strong. I promised her and before she could exit my room my father stabbed my mother in the chest with a knife. My mother looks at me and smiles and told me to not be afraid that she would always be with me. She took her last breath with a kiss on my head". When I heard that I was crying thinking who in there right mind would do such a thing. I saw that he had tears in his eyes. He was holding them back. And not one tear came down because he promised his mother that he would stay strong.

"Were was your father in all this"?

"He flee. I never saw him but that day. And I still never see him I don't know were he is". We were starring at each other in the eyes until he came close to me and our lips touched. It was sparks, it was flawless, it was fearless.
