K: so...the king likes the princess?

A: yes, yes indeed.

K: why is he so worried then?

A: well, the king was very...protective with people he cared about.

K:oh.

I opened my eyes slowly as sound flooded my ears. Was my phone ringing? It was, and it was Alvaro. I had 7 missed calls from Roshaun, 10 from Ale, and 5 from Alvaro. As well as hella text messages from all three. I decided to text Alejandro. (ignore date and time lmao)

I shut my phone off and looked at mattia. He was still sleeping. He sleeps too much💀 I laid back down and just was on my phone, occasionally finding myself staring at him.

an hour earlier...
Mattia
I woke up, groggy as hell. It's the shit they put in the IV I swear it makes me like this in the mornings. I looked around, almost moving until I felt someone's head resting on my shoulder. I looked down and saw Calli, peaceful as ever. It made my heart flip. You know I've heard people say your heart races when your around them, and stuff but... it doesn't. In fact, it actually calms down, because you feel safe, and peaceful. Your heart is at ease, knowing harm will not come to you while with them.

I looked at the way her perfectly shaped nose complemented her facial features, and her lips, big and plump. Her smooth, tan skin and soft straight hair. I admired every inch of her, holding her in my arms. I leaned in, and kissed her forehead, softly, closing my eyes. I detached my lips from her forehead and pulled her closer, so her head lay snuggled into my neck. I stared at the ceiling as I said...

mattia: as long as I am here, you are safe. No one can hurt you here...

I looked down at her once more, and continued.

mattia: I guess you could say I fell for the wrong girl huh?

I said softly laughing. Then, for the strangest reason, I remembered a sentence from my parents wedding vows. What they said to each other, when I was little I used to watch the tape on repeat. I recited it from memory and whispered it aloud.
