Marriage by law {Completed}

《Chapter Fourteen》

Prince Nicholas paces back and forth in his room with Octavia sitting on the edge of his bed trying to calm him down, telling him soothing words that seem to help just a little bit.

"Nicholas he didn't know, he was in Iraq these past few years for goodness sake calm down" Octavia says calmly.

"He knows Octavia, he knows that I'll be getting married to you yet he pulls that kind of stunt" Prince Nicholas grumbles running a hand through his hair sighing in frustration. His wife goes up to him and hold his head in place gently her eyes soft.

"Why do feel so intimidated by him Nicholas? what did he ever do to you?" 

"He has taken everything away from me and I don't want him to take you away from me" he lowers his gaze onto the ground.

"Hey, hey, hey look at me Nicholas, everything will be alright how about I stay in your room from now on okay? will that be okay with you?" she whispers. Prince Nicholas nods with a weak smile.

"As long as I can keep an eye on you" he pulls her into a hug closing his eyes to calm his breathing "I'll help you move your things" the Prince murmurs into her hair causing her to giggle.

"Come on" Octavia pushes him off her and playfully nudges him aside to go to her chambers. It took half an hour to move her things to his room "wait where am I sleeping then?" the way she looks so lost Prince Nicholas just wants to smash his lips with his but of course he knows better.

"What do you mean where do you sleep? you'll sleep on the bed of course" he chuckles.

"What about you?"

"I'll sleep on the ground Mi Amor" Prince Nicholas holds onto her hand.

"You can't sleep on the floor, I'll sleep on the floor it's only fair" Octavia scolds.

"How about this you and I sleep on the bed but there'll be a pillow in between us" Nicholas suggests earning a small nod from his wife but is still unsure. Princess Octavia goes into the bathroom in the room changing into shorts and an over large size top, when she walks out the bathroom her eyes land on a shirtless Prince Nicholas lying in bed staring at the ceiling with a pillow in the middle "are you going to stand there and stare at my abs or are you going to get in bed and sleep" he looks at her brows raised. She mutters a 'shut up' her cheeks flushed in embarrassment before slipping under the covers on the right side of the bed.

She turns to her side staring out the window looking at the stars floating in the dark night sky, the crescent moon shinning brighter than the whites surrounding it tomorrow morning is the last time I'm going to see my parents until thanks giving she sighs inwardly, eyes getting heavy. The feeling of something being draped over her waist and being pulled into something rock hard is the last thing she remembers before drifting off into a dreamless sleep.

The Princess stirs in her sleep hearing hushed voices talking, her eyes flutter open and is met with a bare chest with arms holding her protectively. She tilts her head up to see the person holding her before going back to sleep only for realization to hit her hard,quickly Octavia jumps out of his hold only to land face flat on the hardwood floor groaning in pain as the two chuckle.

"You alright there Princess" Aaron laughs at the doorway earning a glare from Octavia "oh nice outfit by the way" he winks and her cheeks turn fire truck red in embarrassment.

"Shut up" she mumbles getting up only to see Prince Nicholas glaring daggers towards Aaron, and well Aaron laughing at his best friend's reaction "um Nicholas, how did I end up in your arms?" Octavia throws her hair up in a messy bun waiting for an answer but he stays silent. She walks back to the bed an something soft hits her toes, Princess Octavia looks down to see the pillow that was once on the bed that had divide them was now on the ground. She looks up raising a brow folding her arms above her chest while tapping her foot "I thought we had an agreement Mr Arthur."
