A Journey to the Past Part 1 of the Timeless Journeys of Alexandria Manor Series

Chapter 6: The Confessions and the Proposal Thebes, Egypt 1325 BC

Tutankhamun

A month and a half later, I was sitting in a garden. Ankhesenamun had told me that Alexandria had talked to her a few days earlier and that she wanted us to talk in private, so I had some alone time planned for the two of us in the garden that the two women had built for me, and I was now sitting patiently in the garden waiting for Alexandria to arrive. "Tutankhamun" I heard her voice ring over the garden and I felt my heart race with excitement and nervousness

"Over here" I called back

"You wanted to talk with me?" she asked as she sat next to me.

"Yeah, I wanted to ask, that when you're with me, what do you feel?" I asked as I started playing with the grass

"Well, I feel happy, safe, full of joy and some private feelings that I'll keep to myself for the time being" she said as she looked down at the ground, and I knew that she had the same feelings for me, but how was I going to get her to say it?

'Maybe if I give hints of my own feelings' I thought to myself

"What do you feel when you're around me?" she asked after a minute

"Well, I feel like the whole room is brighter when you're around, and I feel special inside when you direct your attentions to me" I saw her blush "And I feel like I can't live without you" I continued, I watched her think on what I said, and then I saw her eyes widen as if she'd just put two and two together "What" I asked. Suddenly she got onto her hands and knees and crawled over to me, and crawled over my legs, when I looked up at her, I came eye to eye to her bright emerald eyes

"You love me don't you?" she whispered

"I don't know what you mean" I gulped.

"You want me to be yours, don't you?" it suddenly clicked, she knew about my feelings for her, and she knew that I knew about her feelings for me, and I nodded. Just then she kissed me, taking me fully by surprise, and she pulled away and looked me straight in the eye again

"Alexandria?" I asked

"Yes?" she said

"I love you"

"I love you two" she replied and kissed me again, and I kissed her back, eventually falling back into the grass, enjoying every minute of our new found love.

When it was time for lunch we went to the dining hall and sat in our seats with Ankhesenamun who asked "So?"

"What?" I asked in return

"Did you tell her?"

"Yes I did"

"And"

"She has the same feelings as I do" Ankhesenamun gasped, and everyone in the room looked at her

"We'll talk of this later" she whispered, I could see the excitement in her eyes. After lunch we went to another little garden with a pool, and sat on the damp grass under the cool shade of the trees "Tell me everything" Ankhesenamun said eagerly. So Alexandria and I told her everything that had happened earlier that day, and when we finished there were small tears starting to fall down her smooth face

"What is wrong my dear sister?" I asked as I pulled her into my arms

'Oh, it's just that I'm so happy for you two and it seems that you no longer need me" she whimpered
