They had become great friends but to him she was an angel in disguise. He learned her name was Selera. She was gentle and kind in everything that she did. He was glad that Eric finally agreed to come meet her and not be a jerk about it. She was sweet and still very distant from him even if it was only in small things. He wondered if she was afraid of him or something more.
The day Eric was supposed to arrive, he sat in a tree waiting for the plane to arrive in the evening so poor Eric didn't die. Godric only had one thing on his mind, trying to understand her. Did he scare her? Should he return home with Eric after all? Was that asshole right? He hit his head on the tree branch as fell out and she ran over tending to him with her angelic smile again. He lost any idea of leaving her unguarded.
"You alright?" She asked helping him sit up as he rubbed his forehead.
"Yeah just wondering if you are. You seem distant," he said hoping not to make her more afraid of him. She sighed sitting beside him.
"You've noticed," she bit her lip then let go. "I-" She got up and made sure he was tended to one more time then ran off as Eric walked up.
"What was that?" He asked Godric who sat not sure if he should chase or stay.
"That was Selera," Godric finally sighed. "She's upset over something and won't talk about it."
"In your letters you did say that her family had a bad history with marriage," he touched Godric's shoulder. "She might be afraid to settle down into a marriage or any type or relationship. I'll call Sookie and Bill to come help."
"No! No more people to interfere in her world," Godric shot that answer out without even stopping to breath. He got up and looked at Eric angry.
"Alright," He held his hands up in defense. "Just trying to help."
They went inside and he put Eric in the room and went to her. She was in her room crying. He shut the door behind himself quietly so no one knew he was even going to check on her.
"Are you alright my friend?" He asked worried sitting beside her on the edge of the bed.
"I like you but I'm so scared," she whispered.
"Why?" He was taken back at the idea of some how he had scared her.
"I don't know how to be a good wife let alone please you the way I know you need," she looked at him and the tears hurt him. He hugged her and pulled her to him tightly in a hug.
"That doesn't matter to me. You are perfect the way you are," he said kissing her lips softly. She relaxed and he realized she was no longer crying. He relaxed rubbing her back.
