BRING ME TO LIFE // Prince William

Chapter Twenty-Four : Brother's Forgiveness

It was the next day as Evelyn and William decided to sleep in.  Her head was in the crook of his neck as his right arm was wrapped underneath her as a way to bring her closer to him.  Her arm was wrapped around his middle as they had no alarm to wake up.  

It was nine thirty in the morning as she started to feel him lightly kiss her head as to which she closed her eyes tightly shut not wanting to wake up.  They had an exhausting night the night before due to her brother bringing home Will's ex-girlfriend and them reaffirming their feelings for each other before making love to each other.  

Evelyn slept naked while Wills had on a pair of boxer-briefs.  

"I know you're awake," William said quietly, almost soft-spoken.

"I don't want to wake up," she replied groaning slightly as she placed a soft kiss to his neck as he tightened his grip on her slightly.

Just as Evelyn was about to give him a kiss as she leaned in she heard a knock on her door and let out a sighed.

"What now," she groaned. 

"Are you expecting anyone?" He asked as his eyebrows furrowed.

"Not that I know of.  Let me go see who it is."

She pressed her lips to his and got out of the covers as he watched her get into some comfortable clothes - one of them being his white shirt he wore underneath his button up last night.  She ran her fingers through her hair as the knocking was consistent.  Not even thinking to look through the peep hole, she opened the door before revealing her brother Eric.

"Eric?" She asked her voice slightly tight from the stunt her brother pulled last night.  "What are you doing here?"

"Mum told me where you live.  Mind if I come in?  I think we need to chat about last night."

"Er, yeah, come in," Eve opened the door more for her brother to step in.  

This was the first time he was seeing her new place as he hadn't been able to with being in the military.  He could see why Evelyn would choose this place.  It was spacious and private which was something that William and Evelyn needed, especially right now as they were just in the beginning stage of their relationship.  

"Nice place," he comments.

"Thanks," she bites her lip as she leads him to the sofa.

She grabs one of her grey fluffy faux fur pillows and holds it to her chest for comfort as she brings one leg under the other.

"I'm really sorry about last night.  I realized I was wrong after you guys left.  It wasn't the way I wanted you guys to meet Kate and I handled it poorly.  Please forgive me?"

Evelyn and Eric had always been the closest out of all of her brothers so when Eric did this Evelyn was surprised and thought it was very uncharacteristic of him.  She felt hurt that he would not only do that to her but also her boyfriend who was very sweet and just wanted their families to come together and be close with all of them.  Evelyn felt the need to protect him - they both felt the need to protect each other.

"I do, thanks," she sent her brother a small smile.  "I am happy for you Eric and I hope at some point we can meet Kate at another time because she seems lovely.  But I think you also need to apologise to someone else too," she pointed at her bedroom door to which he nodded his head in understanding.

Wills soon came out not much longer after as he looked more presentable knowing that her brother was out there.  He sat down next to Eve as put her hand on his knee for comfort, letting him know she was there for him.
