Chapter 11

King of My Heart

King of My Heart by Taylor Swift

I'm perfectly fine, I live on my own / I made up on my mind, I'm better off bein' alone / We met a few weeks ago / Now you try on callin' me "Baby" like tryin' on clothes

Salute to me, I'm your American Queen / And you move to me like I'm a Motown beat / And we rule the kingdom inside my room / 'Cause all the boys and their expensive cars / With their Range Rovers and their Jaguars / Never took me quite where you do

And all at once, you are the one I have been waiting for / King of my heart, body and soul / And all at once, you're all I want, I'll never let you go / King of my heart, body and soul

And all at once, I've been waiting, waiting / And all at once, you are the one, I have been waiting, waiting / Body and soul / And all at once

Late in the night, the city's asleep / Your love is a secret I'm hoping, dreaming, dying to keep / Change my priorities / The taste of your lips is my idea of luxury

Salute to me, I'm your American Queen / And you move to me like I'm a Motown beat / And we rule the kingdom inside my room / 'Cause all the boys and their expensive cars / With their Range Rovers and their Jaguars / Never took me quite where you do

And all at once, you are the one I have been waiting for / King of my heart, body and soul / And all at once, you're all I want, I'll never let you go / King of my heart, body and soul

And all at once, I've been waiting, waiting / And all at once, you are the one, I have been waiting, waiting / Body and soul / And all at once

Is the end of all the endings? / My broken bones are mending / With all these nights we're spending / Up on the roof with a school girl crush / Drinking beer out of plastic cups / Say you fancy me, not fancy stuff / Baby, all at once, this is enough

And all at once, you are the one I have been waiting for / King of my heart, body and soul / And all at once, you are the one I have been waiting for / King of my heart, body and soul / And all at once, you're all I want, I'll never let you go / King of my heart, body and soul

And all at once, I've been waiting, waiting / And all at once/ 'Cause you're the one I have been waiting, waiting / Body and soul / And all at once

Sansa - September 2017

"I think I like this one best, Sansa said, looking at the large windows that reminded her of her apartment in San Diego, reminded her of the windows Jon had pressed her naked body against. She smiled at the thought. This was the fifth Seattle apartment she had dragged Margaery to.

"I think you should take it!" a very pregnant Margaery said. She was due in a month but she was more than willing to go apartment and dress shopping with Sansa. That coming weekend was Ned and Catelyn's 30th anniversary and the kids decided to throw them a fancy party at a downtown hotel ballroom.

Sansa filled out the paperwork and put down her deposit. From there, they headed out to the dress stores.

"Ah, I love having an excuse to buy a new fancy dress," she said wistfully as she glided her hand over a few hanging on a rack.

"Yes, I'm going to live through you since I'm going to have to wear a muu muu," Margaery said while gesturing to her big belly.

"Oh, Marg, you're glowing!"

"Fine. I'm a glowing cow," Margaery laughed. "So tell me. What's going on with you and Jon?"

"Nothing really," Sansa replied. They'd been hanging out since she got home, mostly with Robb and Margaery or Arya and Gendry, but nothing had happened romantically.

"Well you two seem very comfortable around each other."

"We are. It's been nice," Sansa said simply.

"And do you want more?"

"Desperately."

"Ah! Yes! I'm so happy to hear that. You two belong together." Margaery gave her a little hug. "And you're sure you're ready, right?"

"I'm more than sure," Sansa said happily.

After Sansa found the perfect dress, they drove back to Robb and Margaery's house. Jon was there, watching a football game with Robb. She could have sworn she had seen Jon's eyes follow her tight jeans as she walked by and sat next to him on the couch.

They cheered at the good plays and complained about the ref's officiating. Every time Jon got up to grab a drink or a snack, he always brought one back for Sansa. Once, he accidentally called her "babe" as he asked her if she wanted another iced tea from the kitchen. When he came back to the couch with her drink, Sansa tried to not notice his blushing face. It's just a habit for him, she firmly told herself, trying to not let her imagination run wild; it was like she had a school girl crush again.

"Alrighty, I'm gonna go home, I need to start packing up my stuff," Sansa said after the game ended. She said bye to her brother and Margaery and Jon walked her out to her car.

"So you found an apartment?" Jon asked.

"Yeah, it's really similar to my apartment in San Diego. Big windows." She looked over at him out of the corner of her eye and saw he had a big smile that he tried to cover up.

"That's awesome, Sans." He rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "So do you need to go home and pack right away or would you like to grab some dinner with me?"

"Dinner's good, I'm pretty hungry."

"I'll drive." They hopped in Jon's truck and he took her to an Italian restaurant down the road.

They talked about their past year and discussed what they plan on doing next. It was good and fun but still nothing romantic happened when Jon brought her back to her car at Robb's. Jon got out of his truck and gave her a hug by her car, placing a kiss on her forehead. It was the first time she felt his lips on her for over a year, it felt luxurious and made her shiver with want.

"Good night, Sans."

"Night, Jon," she said, giving him a smile and getting into her car.

After packing up some of her things, she laid in bed thinking of him. Her mind drifted to the guys she'd been set up with and the guys that showed interest in her, both in London and San Diego. They were classy, well-off men with high paying jobs and fancy cars. But they couldn't make her feel the way Jon makes her feel. The love she felt for him that last night they were together before she left for London couldn't have happened for anyone else but Jon. And now that she's been back home, he's shown nothing but care and gentleness to her. The loving look he had in his eyes when they were together was still there, plain as day. While in London, she had been secretly and selfishly hoping she would get to keep his love after everything she had done.

If he still loved her, he seemed determined to take his time and do things right with her. Sansa knew he'd do anything for her.

Her mind traveled back to their nights in her room, to the nights where he ruled and he taught her how to rule the bedroom with him and she smiled.

And all at once, that feeling of love washed over her. Sansa knew Jon was the only one for her, the one she never wanted to leave again. Her broken bones had mended and she knew it was time to make him the king of her heart.
