The Queen and Her King

Trouble

Brielle POV

I sighed and playfully rolled my eyes,

"I apologize on their behalf, they simply do not understand when to be formal and when to be giggly teenage girls"

I said as I moved out of the way for Harry to come in,

"Ah its alright, not the worst I've seen since I've been 'ere. Now I've been thinking, is there a specific reason as to why ye wanted to see me?"

I was reminded of the fact that we were indeed meeting for a very serious topic, I shut the door behind him,

"Oh yes, I wanna have a chat about what happened earlier today with Audrey. Come sit"

I said as I walked over to the emerald green velvet couches, I love these couches okay? Anyway, I sat down and patted the seat next to me. He sat down next to me with a sigh,

"She was just bein' annoying. Wouldn't stop flirting and touching me, took a few shots but ultimately what got her hands off of me was my yelling. I saw the fear, I haven't seen that since I got 'ere. I'm used ta it"

He said with a bit of a smirk,

"Do you like scaring people?"

I said, sounding a bit more worried then I would have liked,

"Eh, depends. I don't like people I like bein' scared of me, that just makes me feel terrible. But people like her, I don't mind growling at them"

I slowly nodded and leaned back,

"Anyway, what exactly was she doing when it came to being annoying?"

He chuckled,

"She said that I had and I quote 'a nice body', which is funny ta me because those are comments I get from the Isle, not 'ere. Not ta mention it was terribly worded"

I chuckled in return,

"I didn't know you were picky about how people worded things"

He finally looked back at me and made eye contact,

"I don't normally do, but bein' around ya has given me a standard"

I smiled and looked down at my lap, I could already feel the butterflies coming back just from making eye contact,

"Anyway, how are you feeling about the incident now? You seemed really worried when I was there earlier"

He sighed and leaned back, sitting almost exactly how I was minus the crossed legs,

"I was worried I had upset ye, ya looked... different than I've ever seen ya. Ye were unreadable"

My smiled slowly drifted away. I looked the completely different direction now,

"When I'm doing a job I push everything else I'm feeling aside. It doesn't matter how strong my emotions may be, it all shuts off when there's a task at hand... even if it would be better to act more human. Not to mention internally I was fuming"

I said, feeling bad actually. It would've been better if I had been more personable at that moment instead of such a robot,

"It's alright lassie happens to the best of us. I do it sometimes if that helps"

He said in a less cocky tone than before. I didn't turn to look at him yet, I took a deep breath before finally turning around again,

"So the only reason you were quiet and timid was that you were worried that I was mad at you?"
