The Queen and Her King

The Journey Begins

Third Person

Harry decided to let Brielle sleep for forty-five minutes, her peaceful humming as she slept almost put him out too. When the time came Harry woke her up by whispering to her until she began to stir, she's not the heaviest sleeper so simply the whisperings of sweet nothings are enough to wake her up. He started by leaning in a bit closer to her and brushing her hair from her shoulder,

"Love, it's time"

He whispered, she already began shifting and humming some at the newfound noise that wasn't from the TV,

"Mon chéri~"

He whispered next, more of a purr than a normal whisper at that's alright. The familiar words and the shoulder brushing was enough to get Brielle to wake up. She opened her eyes and immediately locked them with Harry's, though she had only just woken up he could tell she was more alert than she was forty-five minutes ago. She smiled and scooted closer to him,

"Thank you for making me take a nap, I feel way better already"

Harry smiled and gave her a quick kiss in the forehead before she sat up,

"I'm glad ya do, those beautiful eyes of yours look much brighter"

Brielle's cheeks always are lightly dusted with a bit of blush when Harry was around, but simple little things like that only made her light up more. She stretched some and rolling her shoulders as Harry got up and put his shoes back on,

"Yer a very beautiful sleeper by the way"

Brielle looked back to him as she slipped her shoes back on,

"How so?"

"Ya hum when ya sleep, so it's just soothing ta listen to. Not ta mention ya seem ta naturally smile, it's adorable"

Brielle lit up in her cheeks and giggled,

"Oh really? Well I did have a bit of a good dream, I forgot it though but that's alright"

Brielle did remember that dream, but she didn't want to tell Harry about it. It was a reoccurring dream, but it was such a happy one she didn't mind,

"Ah well that's always lovely, even if ya forget the dream at the end"

She took a second as he finished putting on his shoes and stared at him, Harry was in that dream and he did something she never thought he was about in real life, so she chose not to tell him,

"Yeah... well, I should probably get back to work. Wanna come to keep me company?"

Harry smiled and nodded, not noticing she had stared at him for a second with admiration and a bit of longing a few moments ago,

"Of course"

Brielle and Harry walked out at the same time, Harry letting Brielle through the door first. They walked down to her office arms locked and just as they walked up and opened the door to her office, Ben and Evie came from Ben's office looking panicked as ever. Ben ran to Brielle and grabbed her shoulders,

"Brielle we gotta talk"

He said in a rush before leading her into her office. She looked to Harry with a raised brow as their arms slipped apart,

"Alone"

Evie added as Harry tried to follow Brielle into her office. Harry went ahead and paused what he was doing and stared at Evie with a very confused expression. Ben shut the door behind him and Brielle,

"What's so urgent that you have to drag me from the hallway into my office for?"

Brielle said as she crossed her arms and raised a brow at him,
