Before It Struck Midnight. *COMPLETE*

Chapter Six - Just A Dream.

I was woken up by someone picking one up before placing me down onto something soft, a bed I'd assume. I feel myself waking up as I turn my head towards the figure holding me. Again, I am way too tired to figure out who it is.

"Shh... Sleep, Princess..."

I hear a whispers as he gently tucks me under the blanket, causing sleep to instantly take over.

-----------------------------------------------------------

I am woken up in what seemed like seconds later.

"Princess?... Princess, it's time for breakfast..."

I hear a voice, it did not take long for me to figure that it is Brenden, I notice his voice being so soft, so soothing.

I open my eyes before sitting up on the bed, I see him by the door with a tray of food in his hands. He begins to approach me as I sit up against the backboard of the bed.

Immediately, I started feeling like something was off.

He sits on the bed, before placeing the tray of food by one side of the bed so that he could cpuld scooch closer to me.

I tuck back my legs so he doesn't place his backside on them. I notice him stopping when he reached my knees.

"Good morning, Princess..." he says, while I look right into his eyes as he looks straight back into mine. I can feel a funny sensation building up in my stomach.

"G-Good morning, Sir..." I reply, I quickly look away as I see him smirk. I don't want to look at him, I can't look at his smirk because I know what will happen.

"You know... You have been an extravagant guest so far, Princess. Of course, despite that little incident last night... I think you will make a good soul mate"

I look up at him in surprise at the last sentence he just said. Did I hear him correctly? But I know for a fact I did. A soul mate?...

He acts as what he said is an everyday thing... Like it is a no biggie... But I can see the honesty in his eyes and how he meant what he said.

Then I can see him reach out his hand towards me, swiping a strand if my hair off my cheek, placing it behind my ear. A gesture that made me flare up.

"Can you answer one question for me?..." he asks me.

I just nod.

"Words, Princess... Words... I don't know what you want or mean if you don't use words..."

"Yes... Yes sure..." I reply.

I notice him twiddling his thumbs. First red flag. Then I see him do something that I have never seen, think or expect he will ever do. He looked nervous.

"Emma..." he calls out my name.

"Yes?...".

"Do you love me?..."

My whole world suddenly stops... Freezes in time. It takes me a few seconds to comprehend what he just asked me, within those few seconds I blush like crazy.

"What is up, Princess. Why are you blushing so much?" he asks me, but by the smug look on his face, I know that he clearly knows why.

"I... I just feel warm... That's all... It's warm..." I try and convince him of my lies but, it does not seem to be working.

"You know... I know a person by just looking at them, I am very observant, I think that this is something worth noting about me for next time... When you try and lie right infront if my face"
