Her Prince Charming?!?

CHAPTER 12: Let Me Explain.....Please

--NATE--

        I feel like shit. Ever since Max told me that night I had come back from taking Robin out what that did to her, I have felt even worse.

        I know the days prior when I took her out weren't the best neither and not that there is any excuse for any of this, I did have a reason.

        A few days before that night, I had found out that one of our biggest enemies whom I hadn't seen in a long ass time and who I thought was dead, was very much still alive and I know what he's capable of and if he ever found out about Robin, I know what he would do to her and I wasn't about to let that happen.

         So I treated her in public like we weren't together because I wasn't sure if he hired several people to come into town and try to spy on me.

         At first I thought I was protecting her in that way. But now I see how childish and unnecessary it was.

         The entire time I was doing this, I was beating myself up everyday and never though did I cheat on her.

         Then when Max texted me saying they were going out tonight to a new club, I almost lost it. There was no way I was gonna let this happen. She was mine and no one else's.

         So after getting her out of the club and back at her house, she quickly gets off the bike, throws down her helmet and before she can even make it onto the sidewalk, she looked to have passed out.

       Luckily I was there to catch her before she hit the concrete.

       I opened up the door and carried her bridal style towards her bedroom.

        As soon as I laid her down on the bed, I was admiring at how peaceful she looked sleeping so soundly.

        I was too afraid to leave her alone. So I took my shoes off and hoodie and laid down beside her.

*****************************************

        When I woke up, it was still pretty early in the morning and looked like sun had just began to rise.

         I looked over and saw Robin still sleeping.

         I knew she would wake up soon and thought I would make her something to eat.

         So I got up and made some coffee, grabbed some Aleve and made her two one-eyes. Which is just an egg in the middle of a piece of buttered toast. And also cooked some bacon.

        When I walked in, I noticed her sitting up in bed and looked over at me.

         "Good morning." I tell her.

        "What happened?" She asked.

         "You passed out." I remind her.

         "Why are you here?" She asks.

         "Because I was worried about you." I tell her while setting down her food and the coffee down on the inn table.

          "That's a first." She says as she looks down at her folded hands on her lap.

          "I don't blame you for hating me or being upset with me. But I would like a chance to explain." I begin to tell her while taking a seat down beside her on the bed.

          It's silent for a moment and then I hear her reply.

         "Fine. But first, I want some water and medicines for my head."

         "Of course. Here." I tell her while handing her a glass of water and the two pills I brought for her.

          "Okay. Go head." She says as she takes the pills.

          "There is no excuse, first of all of what I did. In fact, I thought I could do both but, I couldn't. I wanted to be with you and knew I was acting like an asshole those few days before and wanted to make it up to you but, I guess I went about it the wrong way."

          "You are not only confusing me as hell right now but, you aren't making any sense." She says.

          "You see, before that night, I found out that one of our biggest enemies who I thought was dead is in fact, alive. I know what he's capable of and I was afraid that he had sent some of his guys to come and try and see not only where I was but also, I knew if he found out that I am with you, someone I love, then he would..." I stopped for a moment to collect myself before continuing. "He would hurt you. Robin, this is nothing like your stories. This is real. And I don't know what I would do if I lost you. I don't think I would ever be able to forgive myself." I stop and start crying but make sure I looking away so she doesn't see.

        I then suddenly feel her hand on my back and starts to rub it.

        "I understand what you were trying to do. And I know it isn't like my stories. Again, they are fiction. However, what you did, especially cause I wasn't informed about your plan, it hurt me. Especially when you flirted with that waitress. That was taking it too far. So really, how else was I supposed to take it? And I'm not saying I forgive you entirely right now, cause what you did, there is no excuse for. But....you need to trust me. I know you can't tell me everything cause of your club codes or whatever you call them. I can respect that. But you have to tell me certain things. And I want to be with you but, not if you do things  like you just did and acted." She says.

        I sniffle and wipe the tears and then look at her.

        "I promise I wont. And I promise that if you give me another chance that I will spend the rest of my life proving it to you." I assure her.

         We look into each other's eyes and I then entwine her hand into mine as she sits next to me on the side of the bed and we kiss each other.

         I know I still have a lot to prove to her and have learned my lesson. I know there is no excuse for what I did, but I hope I can earn her trust again and that she would understand the security she will be protected by now. Cause she has recently become the biggest target. Though now, I am gonna do nothing but show so much public affection, she might want me to stop.
