Here we go- last chapter for this story!
I'm not sure what woke me up. It was either the warm sunlight flowing through the windows- we hadn't thought to draw the curtains- or his hands gently stroking my hair. I smiled before I opened my eyes. When I did, I was in line with his face. He smiled slowly at me, still stroking my hair. 'Hello,' he said.
'Hello,' I replied back. We just stayed like that, not having to speak.
I propped myself up on one elbow after a while. He did the same, and then fell back, leaning up against the headboard, then came forward, wrapping his arm around my shoulders, and pulled me towards him, so I was lying, my head just below his. I snuggled my head into his warm body, while his fingertips started tracing shapes on my shoulder.
'What time is it?' I suddenly realised that if it was late, my family would either be getting up, or already up and looking for me, as I was obviously missing from my own bed.
'It's ok, it's still fairly early. I haven't heard a sound from anywhere. The maids are probably just starting to get up.
'Well how are you going to get out of the house without anyone seeing you? It wouldn't look right if you walked into the kitchens from the wrong direction.'
I'll just have to be quick and sneak out of the front door- as it's still early, your family won't see my, and I'll keep to the walls. I'll keep low, and then walk in through the back door. I should probably go now if I want to get out without anyone spotting me.'
'He moved out from underneath me, so I fell back on the pillow. I looked at him as he quickly got dressed. Just before he opened the door, and I said, 'Hey.' He spun around.
'Thank you for staying with me last night. Love you,' I faintly smiled at him.
'I'm so glad I did. And I love you too,' he answered, and he turned to leave. As he quietly shut the door, I sat up, smiling to myself.
We couldn't be separated now. There was full proof now- we were in love.
