So, I haven't uploaded, and this was so short! I'm sorry. But next chapter will be better! PROMISE!
After the meeting, when all goodbyes were said I was quickly whisked away and by then we were already on our way to the airport. I was leaning my head on Xander's shoulder, and his jacket was draped around my shoulders.
"I have an uncle" I mumbled, he nodded; a small chuckle escaping his lips.
"Yes, I presume you had fun" 'Fun' wasn't the word to describe the feeling in knowing that I had a true and honest family member alive and with me.
"You could say that" I mumbled, and tightened my grip around his waist. His cool lips pressed a kiss to my forehead "Thank you" I mumbled to him, I could feel his lips curl into a smile
"My pleasure" Soon, we reached the airport and boarded upon a small private plane and begun our journey halfway across the world. As I peered out the window, realizing that I wasn't in my little town anymore, but Paris, France about to go to Romania.
"Xander?" My voice was a plea, my eyes stinging. I froze up because… what do I do? Where do I go?
"Kazimia" I looked at him, he cupped my cheek with his hand; and leaned forward placing a comforting kiss on my lips. I wrapped my fingers around his hand, and looked into his eyes.
"I'm scared" I mumbled, and he pulled me into a hug as I started sobbing into his chest.
"Hey, I look at you every minute and think about how strong you are" I nodded as he whispered in my ear "And how beautiful you are, and how brave you are and that alone tells me you can make it through anything" He kissed the top of my head as I fisted his shirt.
"I can't-" I began, which was quickly shushed by him. My sobs grew in size, still remaining quietly, his thumb running up and down the spine of my dress.
"I know you can!" After the sobs lightened, I was left with runny makeup and a throbbing headache. I fell asleep like that, instantly, leaning on Xander.
I felt a huge mass lying in front of me, and instantly, I snuggled up to the figure, hearing a laugh as hands tightened around my waist.
"You're awake" I hadn't even remembered falling asleep, and now, we are in Romania. I wanted to cry, and glancing down I noticed that I was still in the evening gown.
"Your clothes are put away" He answered, I supported myself on my elbows as I peered around the room. A small fireplace in our room, a long dresser on the adjacent wall, the bed was on the wall opposite the fireplace and the door on the adjacent wall. I got up, and slowly began going through the drawers before picking out some clothes and entering the bathroom. Yeah, not a real fine time to shower. I quickly learned the hot know from the cold since they were labeled with words not colors and stripped myself and stepped into the shower. What if he leaves, then were will I be? What if he's one of them? What if I just threw my life away? I mean, what if- I stopped myself as I peeked at my skin. Red from my subconscious scrubbing that made my skin almost singe.
What if Lucius really wants me? I could feel my breath pick up in panic, as the tears of anxiety began, and I slid down to the floor of the tub. I'm trying, God, so desperately to understand all of this, to trust Xander with everything that I have; but it only gets harder. The door opened, and immediately I tried to hide my tear stained cheeks, but looking up at the messy ponytail of strawberry blonde hair, I only broke again. She stopped and looked at me, then reached over and turned the shower off. Her own eyes, red and puffy as she grabbed a towel and wrapped it around my huddled body.
"We can only try" I reached my arms out and wrapped it around hr neck as her sobs filled the bathroom.
"I can't even tell if this is all real or not sometimes, and I'm still trying to fucking understand" Crying felt good to me, at this exact moment it did. She sorted through what I brought in the bathroom as I dried myself and dressed in my underclothes.
"After seeing you on the plane, I wondered how long I would hold. Cried like a baby" She laughed as she bent to help me put on my shorts.
"Really?" I haven't spoke in hours because my voice was croaky, things aren't how they used to be.
"Yeah, Sev's been a hell of a help" She smiled tearily at me, before getting up and wiping my tears with her blue painted nails.
"Don't forget you're not in this alone anymore" She smiled before she kissed my cheek and hugged me, leaving me sitting on the edge of the tub. After the door shut, I nodded, hanging the dress on the back of the door and quietly slipped out the bathroom. Xander was facing the door, and I crawled onto the bed, and put my hand on his shoulder. He turned, and looked at me as I began settling down; realizing what I wanted he did the same; huddling closer to me.
"I'm beginning to become worried about you" I tangled my legs with his under the blanket as I laid my head on his shoulder. I tousled my fingers through his soft, silky brown hair as he leaned over and kissed my shoulder.
"I know, I'm hoping to God, that I'll be fine, with you that should be easy" He smiled, and kissed my shoulder again. When he pulled back, I gazed into his eyes, never noticing how the both of us were inching closer and closer until we could feel each other's breath tingling our lips. He looked at me as I pushed my lips a little forcefully on his, who began fighting back with a burning passion as he gripped my hips. As I fisted his short brown hair, I parted my lips; feeling his silky tongue slide into my mouth.
I can't even began to explain what he tasted like; sweet, like candy almost, drawing me in more. I fisted his shirt as he rolled onto his back, along with me on top of him.
"Stay wi-" I gasped out as we quickly broke for air, myself rolling onto my back with Xander hovering over me. His lips smashing against mines again
"'f course" I fisted his shirt harder, as his grip on me tightened; him slipping his tongue into my mouth again
"You sure?" Of course not, of course I wasn't really sure.
"No" I breathed, he pulled away from me and just gazed into my eyes. I hated that feeling, it was as if he could see right through me. He pulled me closer as he listened to my wildly beating heart, and his chest frantically rose up and down. My chest was pressed against his chest, legs still entangled. My breathing slowed, as he repeatedly kissed my forehead. I liked being held in his arms, something about the idea of safety and comfort.
The frequent crackling of the fire and the dim light from the flames had us in almost silence. I nuzzled my face into Xander's neck.
"Xander?" He kissed my forehead again, and answered me with a 'hmm?' I sigh into his neck "I-I love you" He froze, and slightly pulled away from me
"I love you too" He smiled, rubbing my cheek with his thumb. I felt so sated, so serene, it was as if none of that had never even happened. I could finally stop worrying about them, and start focusing on the good things, like my Uncle and Godfather Henry, and Kenny and Sev, and, and Xander, especially Xander.
