Lost love

7: Thank you

Alexanders POV:

As she softly cried all I could think about was cuddling her. Wanting to cradle her problems away. Whilst, closing the door making no unnecessary sound I turn to face the crying girl who sits in front of me. I walk behind her kneeling down as she sits in a low chair, extending my arms around her torso. Wrapping my arms around her upper stomach my fingers interlocking, she moves her hands onto mine. She's shaking. We stay in this position which is rather comfortable until we hear a knock at the door, it was the maid.

Emma's POV:

I don't want to move, I don't want to feel but I don't want to be alone again. Alexander, closes the door lightly making little to no sound and walks behind me is he retrieving something from my desk or placing something on it? I hear him hit the floor what is he up to? I feel his hands around my stomach I jump at the sudden movement. I quickly relax and melt into his touch after I notice I'm shaking, it's quite reassuring. Just as my mind went to ease a feeble knock on the door was heard. Alexander mumbled under his breath, but I can't figure out what it is. He slowly lets me go and he makes his way to the door opens it to see the same maid who passed us on our short trip. The young girl looks down and curtseys to us, she then proceeds to stand to her normal shy and timid position. Without looking up she softly says, "My lady is everything alright, I brought you some tissues along with some flowers to make you smile." I make my way towards her whilst wiping my face with some damp tissue. I hold the tissue in my left hand and put on a weak smile "I'm sorry I have caused so much distress, haven't I? There are many emotions going through my head don't worry this will be normal by tomorrow I promise you, both of you!" My smile becomes dominant. Out of the bouquet of flowers I detach the one that captivates me and slowly place it in the maid's mousy blond hair. Making sure I don't pull out a single strand of hair she grabs my hands, smiles and whispers "I will always protect you m'lady". Pulling me into a hug that lasted a few seconds she let go and went back to her daily duties. Closing the door behind her I turn to Alexander who looked downhearted, walking towards him his gaze catches mine and I bear hug him for what feels like eternity. I could stay like this forever, I wonder how he feels. "Alex?" I burrow my face in his neck, "yes?" he says quietly "you know I'll love you forever, right?" my grip tightens "of course mon amour as I you" I have never felt so safe despite the guards sworn to protect me, he is my one and only guard...
