Alice in... her Dreamland?

Williams secret ingredient

I could do nothing but stare at him for a minute. His eyes remained downcast as I asked him, "How mad do you get?"

"It's hard to explain... but as much as I don't want you to be scared of me I have to tell you for your own protection..." I just kept looking at him. "My eyes kind of turn red and my skin gets even paler... I start to shake uncontrollably... I won't act anything like myself... I'll be laughing... and not normally, a lot, and loud, and like the Red Queen... if you're within ten feet of me I'll more than likely attack you..." I started backing away as he lifted one of his hands. I fliched and turned away. "Look at these..." he told me, wiggling his fingers. "As many times as I trim them they remain deadly sharp..." he whispered and turned away from me. "I don't know what causes my moments... no one does... but if I start to show signs like what I told you get the fuck away Alice." I was taken aback by his cussing, he seemed so propper... then again, so did everyone else here... but I was also surprised by how much he cared about my safety... is made him even hotter.

I stepped closer and wrapped my arms around his waist in a comforting hug. He stiffened up for a moment but then relaxed and turned around to hug me back. "I just want you safe Alice... without you Wonderland will change all over again and I can't take that."

"Shut up you're ruining the moment." I said and he laughed. 

"I like you Alice..." he replied. "Hey do you think you could let me go this is approaching disturbingly long." I blushed and backed away. "You know... I actually didn't mind it," He joked with a cheeky wink. I blushed even more and decided that maybe I should roll out the dough... then he hip-checked me and made me fall on my butt... needless to say the jerk laughed at me as I rubbed my sore spot.

"No, I make the pizzas," He laughed out, "it's my job."

"Fuck you."

"Maybe later," he said with yet another wink.

"Pig."

"Such a harsh accusation for someone you just met."

"You're also someone who let me hug him 'disturbingly long' and liked it."

"I didn't say that, I said I didn't mind it." He said as he patted my head like I was a little kid.

"Shut up and make me food, it's hard traveling from one world to another you know."

~1 hour later~

"Such.. good... so... amaze...:" I breathed as I inhaled cheesy goodness. 

"I told you," William laughed and called Peter saying the pizza was ready. I'm pretty sure I heard him say 'Finally' as I picked up a second slice and went to town on that one. "Slow down or you'll get sick," William warned as he hung up and slid his phone into his pocket. 

"Would be worth it... so good... room for more..." Third slice. God I am such a pig but OMG this pizza is amazing! I finally managed to slow down to ask him, "What the hell is your secret? This is the best Pizza I've ever had!"

"Extra garlic on everything," he said seriously and then cracked up and added, "and a lil somethin somethin," with a wiggle of his eyebrows. Even though I knew he was joking I dropped the slice I was working on anf gagged on what was in my mouth.

"Go ahead and put the rest away for Peter... I've lost my appetite.." He laughed and put the oven on warm before slipping what was left inside. "That was not funny!" I shouted before throwing out my plate and washing my hands.

"Yes it was!" He chuckled, his hands flat on the table in laughter. "Hey, if you don't like eating that then maybe I could just give it to you directly?" He asked as he stood, eyebrows dancing yet again as he closed the distance between us.

"...what kind of girl do you think I am..?" I asked, barely above a whisper.

"mine.." he whispered back no les that a second before Peter walked in, saving me from even more embarrasment... or so I thought.

He saw us, backed up and said, "maybe I should come back later..." I looked up at William and he came even closer.

"Kiss me, I know you want to." he whispered, his lips right next to my ear, his warm breath wafting over my neck.

"Not that type... girl.." i whispered back as my knees buckled and my head spun in cirlces. "Catch me.." I whispered as my legs gave out and I fell. William caught me and carried me up to my room, leaving my dress on as he layed me in bed and covered me up.

"Goodnight my dear Alice," he whispered as he kissed me on my forehead. His lips lingered there a moment before he pulled away and rubbed my arm slowly and softly. "I've waited a long time for you..." He then slowly rose from my bed and walked away, his head down, thinking of what he just did.
