The MANSION {Madre's Mansion}

Sleeping Beauty;..

Narrators POV;.....

Sonia wakes up and finds herself in Desmond's arms. She grunts lazily before realizing the sun is setting. He's been carrying her all day!

"Desmond? "Her little voice calls and the melody in her voice pulls Desmonds face back down in happiness.

"Did we make it? "She questions innocently as she honestly thought death was her portion.

"No. We died and we're currently in jungle heaven. "Desmond replies with his ever so strong sarcasm and Sonias pulls her lips into an annoyed pout.

"You can set me down now." She says as she feels Desmond ought to be tired after carrying her almost the whole day.

"I can but I won't. "Desmond replies without looking down at her and confusion hits Sonia.

"Why? "She questions. Her face reflecting the pure innocence of a confused child.

Desmond smiles at the beauty in his arms. He enjoys seeing the childlike part of her.

He doesn't want to put her down as he doesn't want to lose the opportunity of holding his Disney princess a little longer.

"Because I say so. "He simply replies and Sonia knows at this point there's no use arguing with him. She's sure soon enough his arms would be so tired they'd make him place her down willingly.

Sonia soon begins to feel sleepy hence she lays her head on Desmond's chest and interlocks her fingers behind Desmond's neck. Her ear gently lays against Desmond's chest and the rhythmic beat of his golden heart is enough to coax her into a deep sleep.

Desmond looks down at her and smiles. To some point, he's glad Harry messed up. If Harry hadn't, he may never have gotten the chance to meet an angelic beauty such as Deborah.

Sonias POV;...

I wake up to find myself sitting by a fire and my head laying on Gabbys lap. Her hand gently patting my hair.

I blink lazily as I stare at the other kids around the fire before I gently sit up and Gabby finds I'm awake.

"Finally, you're back. "She says silently and I smile.

"Where's Desmond? "I question and she smiles.

"Your love is something to admire. He and Ekene went hunting for food. They'd be back anytime soon. "Gabby replies nodding towards the woods and I deliberately choose to ignore her first comment.

I stare down at the two dots on my right leg and I run my fingers over the dried green paste as memories of that valley flood my mind.

"I told you he loves you," Gabby says pulling me out of my reverie and I O
just stare blankly at her.

"I wish you saw how hard he fought for you. I never knew he had doctor qualifications. "Gabby says and I'm confused.

"He's one of the reasons you're still breathing.
Girl, he sucked venom out of you. Do you know that alone could kill him!?

That's how much he loves you, and you wanna know the best part?.. "Gabby notes and my eyes pop.

"He gave you CPR! You guys kissed! "she squeals but my brain can only playback what she just said. ~sucked venom out of me with his mouth!? What if he died!?

"Why aren't you acting as excited as I thought you would?? I said you guys kissed and you... Wait a second!

You guys have kissed before!? "She squeals and I instantly feel my face fall pale.

"Why didn't you tell me!? "Gabby screams and I just stare at her as memories of Harry and I kissing each other in the cabin flood my mind.

The feel of his lips on mine and I feel my cheeks burn. I subconsciously put my fingers up to my lips.

"This isn't over. "She suddenly whispers and then I hear his voice;

"Look who decided to come back from the dead. "His British accent flows smoothly into my ears.
