Chapter 5

Theadosia woke up feeling something pushing against her chest. She woke up to find Alastor almost hugging her like a pillow. She squirmed trying to escape his grasp, but he was far to strong.

He opened his eyes. "Why are you squirming? Did you, I suppose not have enough last night?"

She looked at him and turned red remembering what happened. She realized that they were both nude and their legs were tangled together. Just her thinking about how they slept in the nude made her blush.

"Theadosia." Lowell had sleepily said from across the bed, "I had a good sleep." He rubbed his eyes and opened them to see Alastor hugging her. "Oooo, Theadosia. Hehehe."

"Hey what are you laughing at!?" Theadosia's face narrowed.

"Theadosia and Alastor sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G! Hehehe.

"That's not funny Lowell! Stop it!" She faintly yelled. He put her hands on her face trying to hide her embarrassed expression.

Alastor laughed. "Come on Theadosia he's just a kid." He rubbed her chin gently as if she we're glass.

"KISS, KISS, KISS." Lowell had yelled

Theadosia looked at up at him seeing him grin. Her heart pounded feeling as if it may come out.

Alastor pulled her closer and kissed her so passionately that she never wanted it to end, She just wanted it to say like that forever.

Lowell clapped happily.

Someone knocked on the door. "Sir the carriage is ready to depart in five minutes."

"Why don't you bastards hold it back an hour!" He hastily growled.

"we are way behind schedule we need to go as soon as possible, we cannot waste another minute here!"

"Like I said hold it back an hour before I spill your guts out!"

Hearing them yell made her start shaking she mumbled, "It's to loud please stop please, I-I I can't." A tear rolled down her cheek, she felt as if she couldn't breathe.

Lowell crawled to Alastor and whispered. "Theadosia is crying. She doesn't like it when people yell."

He stopped and looked. He saw her shaking with her hands covering ears, he could hear her mumbling something.

He sighed. "Just hold it back thirty minutes then we'll go."

The man on the other side of the door stomped off.

Alastor sat up. "Theadosia it's okay, please don't cry." He hugged her warmly and as gentle as he could.

"Alastor." She looked up at him and smiled, "Thank you, I know I can be a handful. I'm sorry."

"There's nothing to be sorry about, and your not a handful." He smiled and gave her another hug. "Is it fine if I take Lowell."

"Wait take him where?"

"I'm going to take him to a nearby merchant her in Arkton, so I can get clothes for the both of you. He grabbed his trousers that were next to the bed and slid them on.

She turned her head not wanting to look at him dress himself. She heard as he grabbed and put on his armor.

He knelt down on the ground and set out a hand for Lowell. "Are you ready to go.

Lowell grabbed his hand. "Let's go!"

He got up and leaned over to Theadosia. "we'll be right back." He turned her head to face him, and kissed her.

Alastor did one last smile before he closed the door. She had closed her eyes and fell back asleep

***

She woke up hearing the door slowly creak open. Theadosia immediately wrapped the blanket around her.

She ended up seeing Alastor's face peek out the door. He raised an eyebrow wondering what she was doing.

he shook his head and opened the door so Lowell could come in. She saw Lowell dressed as if he was a prince.

Alastor scratched his head. " I don't know if you'll like the dress, Lowell told me to get it for you"

In her eyes it was beautiful, It looked as though it was soft. It was a pretty dark red color with what looked like golden color flowers on the bottom.

"I like it, I more than like it, I love it!"Theadosia let out a big wide smile.

Alastor smiled, "well I'm glad you love it. I'm going to take Lowell to the carriage and i'll be right back."

when he closed the door she immediately put on the undergarment and slid on the dress. The thing was she couldn't tie the back.

She went to a mirror that was on the wall by the door and turned her head so she could try to tie it.

Alastor had walked in and the door had hit her ankle making her foot slide under the dresser causing her to trip.

Alastor had quickly caught her before she landed on the floor. "Are you okay, your not hurt are you?" He had a worried expression on his face.

"oh um my ankle hurts really bad."

"Don't worry i'll carry you so you don't hurt your foot more than what it is. Also your dress isn't tied, let me tie it for you."

Theadosia looked at him and was about to burst out in tears from all the pain in her ankle. "Okay, I was going to ask for your help ."

"Alright, if you want you can use the dresser to help you balance." He kept tugging and trying to tie it and after a good two minutes he finally finished.

"Thank you for tying it for me, I appreciate it." She gazed into his eyes, It was like a black endless void and was Afraid that if she never got out of that void, she wouldn't be able to see him again.

Alastor scoped her up and went down the stairs.

***

They went inside the carriage and Alastor had put Theadosia on his lap. She had held on to him not wanting to fall from the bumpy ride.

Lowell who was sitting across from them asked, "Are you two going to get married?"

Theadosia looked at him to see that he had crossed his fingers in hope that they say yes.

Her heart started racing and she thought, what if we are, but I don't know if i'm ready yet. Alastor is nice and he treats me as though i'm glass I...I love him.

Every thing went silent for a long moment util Alastor speaked.

"Well that depends on Theadosia, why not ask her." He looked at Theadosia and smiled.

Her had face got red and she buried herself in his shoulder.

"Well Theadosia are you guys going to get married?" Lowell looked as though he was going to jump out of the seat a cheer.

"Um Lowell I don't know yet." She took out her face from his shoulder, and looked at Lowell.

"Theadosia why not just say yes ughh." Lowell whined at the fact he didn't get a straight answer.

Theadosia laughed, "Come on Lowell you dont need to whine."

She had looked at Alastor to make sure he wasn't looking, and then looked at Lowell. She pointed at Alastor and then herself, took out her ring finger, and acted like she put a ring on.

"So you do wanna get married then." He had to what looked like a shocked expression.

She started fidgeting with her fingers and said, "Well um I-I i'm just uh-"

Lowell shouted, "She does! She wants you to put a ring on her finger!"

He smiled. "Well is that so." Before she could say anything he kissed her with so much passion.

All she heard was Lowell clapping, she turned her head to face him, but Alastor turned her head back facing him.
