Gravensnod (manxman)

Chapter Seven

Philo

What.

The.

Fuck.

What the actual fuck just happened? Did Alexei seriously just kiss me and put his hands onto my bare ass? How did he go from showing Genevieve off to the country to them breaking up? My mind wouldn't stop as I quickly shoved a pair of boxers on before wandering into Louise's room. I didn't care that she was asleep as I jumped onto her bed and shoved her shoulder.

"Louise! Wake up!"

She groaned before slowly opened her eyes and staring up at me. "Go away."

"Fine. Then I guess you don't want to hear about the kiss I just had."

Before I could get off the bed her surprisingly strong hand was pulling me back towards her. "What!?" She squeaked while turning on the lamp next to her bed. After quickly telling her everything that just happened and then yesterday when we were outside, she looked shocked. I mean I'd be shocked too. "Oh my god."

"I know! I just... can't believe it."

My fingers then rested onto my lips, the lips that Alexei had just been making out with. "I don't want to be that person but is he treating you like a rebound? Because you don't deserve to be one."

"I don't think it's that complicated," I grumbled while falling onto my back and pulling the blanket over my body.

She laid down on her side next to me before putting her hands under the pillow. "Are you sure? Philo, the man literally just broke up with his girlfriend and he's already kissing you. What if he tries... something else?"

As I looked back over at her I watched as she gave me a typical mother look which only made me sigh. "You mean like sleep with me? I don't even know."

"Would you say no if he tried?"

"Louise, come on! He's not going to try and stick his dick in me already."

"I'm just worried about you," she whispered while pulling the blanket up around her chin. "And I don't want him to try something on you just because he's single."

Luckily Louise had always been my number one cheerleader when I came out to her. It didn't bother her at all which was such a relief. She had just said she wanted me to be happy. Many parts of my life may have been shitty, but my sister was not one of them. The fact that Alexei was obviously bi not bothering her was just another reason to love her. More people needed to be like her.

"I doubt he will but I promise I'll be careful."

She smiled before nodding a few times. "Good, you better be."

We stayed in a comfortable silence before I glanced back up at the ceiling. "Have you ever heard of a royal being gay or bi?"

When I looked back over at her she was shaking her head with a thoughtful expression. "I've never heard of one before. And if they were their families probably kept it a secret."

"Well, do you think it's weird that he even kissed me? I mean, what makes me so special? I'm not worth being with a prince." A hand was then smacking me on the head, making me yelp. "Ow!"

"Don't talk like that Philo. If he's been so himself with you and even kissed you, he thinks you're special. And you are special and you do deserve to be with a prince. But to you, he's just Alexei right? It sounds like he's been very honest and open and really himself. To the world he might be Prince Alexei Julius Ortega of Gravensnod but to you, he's just Alexei. And that person seems really interested in you. And I'm so excited that someone is making you feel so special."
