Agathas pov:
It feels weird. Only about a year ago did me and Sophie come to this more modern world, believing that we could return to Galvaldon. Not knowing our surroundings, we were lost, unable to comprehend anything and now here I am sat in a coffee shop in London writing up my second novel, a way to earn me and Sophie some money to live, not that we weren't desperate, it just helped. As I type up my novel, I feel a strong gaze on me, one which is burning straight into my soul however, as I'm looking up to see who it is that's holding me captive, there's nothing but people socializing with their friends. I shrug it of and pick up all my stuff, finishing up the last of my coffee and making my way out of the shop. Rain pours heavily on me as I hastily make my way to my car, fumbling with my keys, I feel that intense gaze again yet nothing, not a single soul near me. I immediately find my key and enter, shrugging of my now wet coat and placing down my laptop on the passenger seat. I let out a deep sigh start it up, driving back home. By the time I got home it was no longer raining luckily. Grabbing all my stuff I rode inside our 3 bedroom apartment complex. It was relatively big which I was grateful for, gave us room for a guest and for when we have meetings.
"Sophie" I called out, after not receiving a response, I walked into her room to find her asleep next to a sewing machine with brilliant pink satins around her.
"Sophie" I called again this time louder, waking her up.
"Mhmmmm" She mumbled softly, looking up at me, her eyes scrunched focusing in on me.
"I'm going to make dinner, do you want anything?" I ask, tilting my head slightly.
"Just a salad and a green tea if you could. I've been stress eating a lot lately" She grumbled out, to which received a snort from me.
"Sophie, your idea of stress eating is eating strawberries and plain crackers."
"And I have been having a lot of it, so if you could darling go fetch up my salad whilst I clean all this up." She replied.
"Yes darling" I mimic.
Making my way into the kitchen, I notice that the window was open, finding it strange as we barely open the kitchen window unless it's a really sunny day and today was cloudy and rainy. Dismissing that thought though, I fetch up her salad and brew her green tea whilst grabbing my self some left over chicken and making it into a sandwich.
"Good enough" I mumble as I stuff my face with it.
I feel Sophie presence behind me and watch her as she grabs her green tea and takes out the tea bag, picking up her salad and sits in front of me, surveying my face closely.
"What? Is there something on my face?" I choke out between mouthfuls.
"Not that I can see, you just look... tense is all" She shrugs.
"Mmmm, I've been feeling something watching me all day yet there's no one around me, it's kind of unsettling." I say.
"Maybe it's just the fact that we've been gone a whole year now, maybe it's just hitting home more you know?" She says raising her eyebrow.
"I guess so." I quietly say, if I'm to be completely honest, I do miss my prince, I miss that protectiveness that felt like comfort. Guilt seeped in and I rested my head onto my arms looking up at Sophie. " I miss him".
"Aggie darling..." She sighs out.
"I know I know, it was the plan from the start to get back home but I can't help but long for him." I mumble.
She pats my shoulder and then smiles. " Change of topic... Are you excited for the job interview tomorrow?"
"I guess, if I do get the job then it just means that I won't be able to work on my novels as much." I sigh yet smile.
"Yeahhh but apparently he's really hot and this is the most successive business, it would be such a privilege to work there." She says, grinning.
I laugh and wave her off, "I'm going to bed now, need to get some sleep if I want to be able to look presentable tomorrow."
She nods and smiles at me as I get up and retrieve to my bedroom. Throwing on my nightie I slip into bed and think of my prince, wondering if he is waiting for me or if he has moved on. My heart breaks at the thought and tears fall down my face. My prince... Tedros.
Waking up was rough, rubbing my hands along my face, I felt the crispy remnants of dried tears. With a groan I swing my self out of bed and have a quick shower, washing my face and body. As well as brushing my teeth. I quickly dry my waist length hair and throw it up into a presentable yet casual pony tail, letting it hang loosely down my back. A little bit of makeup, nothing serious, just a subtle and relaxed look. As well as this, I matched myself up with a white blouse and a black pencil skirt that sat mid thigh, some skin coloured tights and black heels. checking my self in the mirror a once over, I grab my Blazer and exit my room.
"Good luck" Sophie yips from the sofa, a green tea In her hands.
"Thanks" I say back.
Grabbing my keys, I make my way over to my car, hopeful for a coffee and from there I quickly drive to the costa and grab a small coffee to go and with 15 minutes to spare I make my way to the company where I will be having my interview. I sip on my coffee and look up at this colossal sky scraper. The words, 'Golden Lion', engraved onto the front. Funny I think, it seems familiar. Looking at my phone, I notice I've spaced out and only have 5 minutes to check in, throwing the rest of my coffee in the bin and popping a mint into my mouth, I make my way in. As I walk towards the front desk, I notice that the lady looks really familiar yet I can't place my finger on it.
"Urm hi, I'm Agatha and I'm here for an interview in..." I quickly look at my phone, " 3 minutes."
The ladies eyes widen and smiles widely and begins to nod furiously, " Yes, that's fine take the elevator right there and go to the top floor, he's awaiting you." Her honey dew voice says.
"Thank you..." My voice trails of as I look at her confusingly. How odd, she sounds familiar too.
I make my way over to the elevator and get in as I let the doors close I find all of the workers looking at me, their eyes trained on mine. I look away and wait for the top floor.
"That's so weird.." I mumble out, rubbing my arms uncomfortably.
The doors ping open and I stroll out, making my way to the grand and golden door. My hand hesitates as I knock, resting against it at first, my stomach making flips and my neck searing red. Eventually I work up the courage to knock, the sound echoing loudly.
"Come in" A deep voice answer.
As I open the door and enter, before I can even look up, I was thrown on something soft, looking to my side I notice that it's a elegant and regal sofa.
"I'm sorry but-" I was silenced with a pair of lips sealed on top of mine, a heavy weight pressed against me.
For some reason, I felt happy, I felt complete, a feeling I haven't felt in a long while.
As the lips leave mine, my eyes flutter open and I gasp at the sight upon me, tears begin to stream down my face.
"It's not possible, how are you..." I begin to sob out but I'm captured into his arms, a reassuring hold.
"I've missed you so much, you have no idea how long I have been trying to find you Agatha." He mumbled out into my neck.
"Tedros" I breath, my eyes trained on him as he moves back and examines my face.
"God only knows." Tedros says as he stands up and straightens his suit out.
"Wait, the people down stairs... they aren't from the schools are they?" I say bewildered.
"Agatha we have so much to talk about, so much to sort out but just know that I promise I will never let you leave my side again, not even for a minute. Your mine." He says confidently, a small smile resting on his face.
Tears continue to stream down my face as I smile up at the man I love.
