TJL#19# Tale Of A Lonely Princess

No One Else

Crystal's POV

" They fought?" Torren asked me.

" Yeah, terribly." I said and they sighed.

" Plan failed." Sophia said.

" Horribly failed." I said.

" No worries. We have another plan for this." She said.

" What plan?" I asked.

" I was thinking what if we lock them up in the room?" She asked me and my eyes open widen.

" What?! No, no,no,no. They will kill each other. No need to lock them up in a room." I said in horror. " I don't want to be an orphan."

" They won't. Love will be bloomed. No worries. I asked your aunt about them. I got a killer idea." She said smirking evilly. That made it clear that her idea was definitely killing. That's what her smirk was saying. I shook my head.

" Don't even try to lock them in a room." I said.

" It will work." She said.

" I can't lay down lifelessly. My back hurts." I said to her.

" Ok, I will give you a hint then you can open your eyes. But pretend that you are still not fully recovered." She said.

" What kind of hint?" I asked her.

" I will send Torren out of the room. Once he goes out you will wake up." She said. " Again don't over act it." I rolled my eyes.

" Mamma C is coming. Lay down." Torren said and I quickly laid down on the bed closed my eyes.

" Thanks for watching over her. Is she still sleeping?" I heard my mom.

Come on Mamma C, sit beside little C. She needs your soothing touch to get encouraged and feel to be loved. Mom means magic. Whenever I am with her I feel like I can win everything, even I can climb the Everest. She means that much to me. People may think that I am over dramatic but that's what I feel. Do I have to take my feelings?! No. Never ever I will do that.

" Yes, she is still sleeping, Mrs. Kingsley." Sophia said.

" Oh, ok." Mom said and I felt her sitting next to me. She started to run her fingers in my hair.

" Torren. Go check downstairs. Thea was searching for you awhile back." Sophia said.

" Yeah, going." He said.

I heard him going away. I counted one to five. Then slowly opened my eyes and batted my lashes for a few minutes. Then again closed my eyes and looked up at my mom.

" Crystal, you wake up?" Sophia said. I wanted to roll my eyes watching her acting skill but I controlled myself.

" Wh..what happened.. happened to me?" I asked her acting like I haven't seen Mom yet. Suddenly I was pulled into a tight hug by my Mom.

" Mom!!!" I acted getting extremely shocked. " You here at home?!" I asked her.

" Yes, baby. I am here. Your mom is here with you. No worries." She said kissing on my forehead. I pouted.

" What happened to me?" I asked them.

" You fainted this morning, got a BP shoot. I called Mrs. Kingsley to come and visit you." She said and I nodded. I hugged Mom.

" Are you feeling better now?" She asked me.

" Don't know still feel weak." I said to her.

" Then lay down." She said to me pushing me a bit. " Sophia, will you please inform Thea to bring something to eat for her?" She said to Sophia who nodded and walked out of the room.

" Mom, you are really here?" I asked her.

" Yes, doll." She said patting my cheek.

" You won't leave me, right?" I asked clutching on her hand.

" No, I won't " she said.

" You won't?" I asked.

" No, baby. I won't." She said. "Tell me why did you faint suddenly? How did you get that BP shoot?" She asked.

" I was so tensed about you these days. I just can't concentrate on my works. Then you were to going back today. I was so upset this morning. I... I just can't hold this back anymore. I can't be worried all the time thinking you are alone there. Why can't we live like a family, Mom? Why not?" I asked her. She remained silent for a few moments. I sighed deeply not getting an answer for her.

" Cause this is our fate, Crystal. We can't change it. No one can change the fate." I heard my dad as he entered the room. I smiled.

" Hi, dad." I said to him.

" Really? After giving everyone heart attack you just have to say 'hi'?" He asked as he sat across me. I extended my hands towards him and gestured him to help me to sit down. He helped me to sit straight as Mom fixed the pillows behind my back.

" Did you miss me?" I asked him. He just sighed and hugged me tightly. I hugged him back. " I told you dad no one can resist little C. She is cute as hell. Because east or west C is the best." I said to him. He chuckled.

" Yes, you did." He said

" See, Mamma C is also here. The beautiful Mamma ever. Isn't she?" I asked him. He looked up at Mom for awhile. Then nodded.

" Yes, she is." He said. I smiled widely.

" Yeah, she is." I said and Mom looked at us with widen eyes then she sighed.

" I will go and see what they have managed for your dinner." Mom said and she was about to leave but I hold her hand.

" Don't go." I said to her showing her my puppy eyes.

" Stay." Dad said and she sat down. " Why did you faint suddenly?" He asked me.

" I was worried and upset about Mom. She was able to go back today. This why I was upset and she is alone there in Naples. This why I was worried about her health issues. And no one helped me to find out a groom for my Mom who will take care of her properly. This is why I lost my senses." I said to him and both of them looked at each other then looked away. " What happened?" I asked them.

" Take rest. I will be back. Be with her." Dad said and left the room.

I chuckled inwardly. Jealousy kicked in, Dad?! No worries, I am not going to hand my mom over to anyone but you. Your love is secured for you. No one else is going to take her away. No one.
