My Knight & My Lady
Chapter 8: Sleep Over!
"Big brother!" Ally runs and I receive her with open arms, I hold her tight do to the thought of Ally getting hurt the same way Musa was.
"Riven… I... I can't… breath"
"Oh sorry Ally…"
"Wow you must have really missed me for you to give a bear hug like that"
I smile to the thought that she doesn't know the real reason Musa is here, all she knows that she's staying here because her castle was 'infested' with rats and roach.
I give Musa a nod as a signal that she can come out of the carriage, my father ask the maid to send Ally to her room since she's too young to understand the conversation.
"Welcome Princess, I really didn't expected anything like this to happen, and I'm sorry for what happened"
"It's ok no need to apologize besides you didn't do anything"
"I know but, Ally is my youngest and hearing what happened to you is like having a knife stab my chest, as it could also happen to my little one, but you are always welcome here and always safe"
"Thank you"
"Now I'll have the maid put your things in the special royal guest room, Riven why don't you show her around while dinner is ready, and welcome back home son"
"Thanks dad, oh and I hope you don't mind but detective Mark will be visiting once in a while, y'know for the investigation"
"No problem at all I'll be sure to tell my advisor and the royal guards, now don't get lost in the maze"
"We won't dad… right this way my lady"
"You have a maze?"
"Yes"
"Can we check it out?"
"Of cores my lady"
"Riven"
"Yes?"
"You can stop calling me that, and start calling me by my real name"
I smile and so does she, I take her to the royal garden since is a little bit different than Musa's her garden has fountains, trees, bon fires, tea party tables and obviously the different types of flowers. My garden has flowers, but only a few benches and few trees' shading the bench, and the maze, in the center is the water fountain shaped like a heart. My dad told me when I was kid if you tossed a coin ever year on your birthday and if you were good enough, you would find your true love… and he was right.
"Riven your garden is so simple and so peaceful, I like it"
"Thank you, now what do you want to do?"
"Well I would love to see my room, and the rest of the palace, but the palace can wait, I just want to rest a little and get ready for super"
"Sure thing Princess"
MUSA'S POV
Riven takes me to my room, right before he leaves he helps me unpack we stood in silence and I wouldn't blame him I mean I did kissed him in an awkward moment. When I thought he was leaving he turned me around and hugged me, I knew that I blushed I felt my face turn hot, I responded the hug and I felt a few tears roll down my cheek.
"Don't cry my love" he said that I was his love? Usually I would smack to whoever said that to me, but with Riven, it was different. '
He pulls me back to take a good luck at my face, he smiles as he wipes my tear off my face oh so ever so gently, I couldn't' help but smile, and so did he, he lifted up my chin a little and gazed at my eyes then it happened again, the kiss. That oh so amazing passionate kiss, every time our lips would press against each other I would want more, I didn't know what I did all I know is that my body automatically got closer to him, he put one arm around my waist and the other holding my face, one of my hand wrapped his neck and the other laid on his chest.
Our moment was interrupted by a small giggle.
"Oh sorry…" she blushed a little "Um dad said that dinner will be done in a few… see you at dinner" she ran towards her room giggling.
"I guess I should get ready too, see you at dinner princess"
"Sure will"
Riven leaves and I put on a short dress not too short just a little above the knees, it was baby blue with dark green stripes I wore a closed Jordan shoe that the colors matched my dress, I wore my long hair in two long pigtails, once done I meet Riven and his family at the dinner table.
"So daddy how long is Princess Musa is going to stay with us?"
"Um a month or so, just until her infested castle is cleared"
"Oooh, Hey can I sleep with the princess tonight Riven?"
"Why are you asking me?"
"Because I saw you and her kissing"
The king's eyes widen and looked at Riven and me. But he didn't ask anything, the way he looked at us was enough.
"I don't know Ally"
"Come on I've slept with daddy and you, but never with another princess"
"Ally I really don't think that's such…" he was cut by her little sister
"Please… PRETTY PLEEEEEAAAAASSEEE!"
"I don't mind"
"You sure Musa?"
"I'm sure of it"
"Yey, it's going to be so much fun, right after dinner I'm going to bring my favorite movies, books and we can do our hair, how does that sound princess?'
"Sounds like fun"
"Yey, my first sleep over"
My eyes widen a little; she's 10 and never had a sleep over? I had tuns of them with the Winx; maybe her father doesn't like her friends.
After the dinner, Ally runs to her room to get her stuff, Riven says his good nights and reminds his sister not to stay up too late since she has to go to school.
"Hey Musa, can you brush my hair and make a French braid? I'll do your afterwards"
"Sure thing"
Ally sits in front of me, letting go her messy bun hair, it flowed down to her waist, it's color was a red and burnet kind of mix, as I brush I ask myself over and over why did she wanted to sleep with me, so I decided to talk to the little one as I untangle her hair.
"Say Ally… why did you wanted to sleep with me?"
"Well I have 2 good reasons, reason number 1 is that my dad doesn't know who my friends are nor their parents so I don't go to their place and they don't come to mines and that comes to the point of me not having a sleep over. Reason number 2 is that even though you aren't my mom I miss sleeping with her and I also don't have a big sister so I thought maybe you could pretend to be my sister for a while, don't get me wrong I love my brother but he moves too much. And daddy snores too loud."
"Well isn't that interesting, but what is it that you miss about your mom?"
"Well everything, whenever I would have a bad dream, she would sing a lullaby to calm me down and wait until I fell fast asleep"
"What was the lullaby that she sang?"
"Constant as the Stars Above"
My eyes widen, my mother used to sing that to me when I used to have bad dreams.
"You know, I know that song by heart"
"Really?"
I nodded saying yes.
"Please sing it; it's been so long since I've heard it"
"Alright"
"Let me get my music box"
Ally gets the music box and I hear the tune that I so long remember, and I start to sing.
Constant as the Stars Above (From Barbie as Rapunzel)
Constant as the stars above
Always know that you are loved
And my love shining in you
Will help you make your dreams come true… will help your dreams come true
The lamb lies down and rests its head
On its mothers downy bed
Dolphin plays in the moon light glow
And butterfly dreams about violet rose…dreams about violet rose
*Riven hears Musa singing so he stays behind the door waiting for her to finish
I'll cradle you in my arms tonight
As sun embraces the moon light
The clouds will carry our songs tonight
Our dreams will run deep like the sea… our dreams will run deep like the sea
(Musa and Ally together)
Constant as the stars above
Always know that you are loved
And my love shining in you
Will help you make your dreams come true…will help…your dreams… come… true!
"Oh it's just like I remembered, now sit on the floor so I can do your hair"
I giggle and sit on the floor letting Ally do my hair, I could tell that Riven was listening for 2 reasons, reason 1 I heard him walking and he suddenly stopped and 2 I can see his shadow from the half open door.
"Hey Musa"
"Yeah?"
"Thanks for singing the lullaby; it really means a lot to me"
"No problem Ally, it means a lot to me as well"
Once Ally was finished she tells me all about her friends, school, her family, we watched movies, ate snacks take silly pictures. I felt all warm and cozy in side, I'm an only child and spending time with Ally is like feeling complete, I felt like I had a little sister to play and spend time with.
We both fell asleep in my guest bed filled with pop corn and all types of candy. In the morning I was the first to get up and clean up most of the mess. Ally woke up a few minutes later, she took a shower got dressed and helped me pick up the rest of the room, she left to the kitchen to greet the chef and his staff I was left to take a shower and get dressed. I was wearing a black t-shirt that read "Princess Coming Through" a not too jeans, and a pair of pink Jordan's, my hair was loose. Held back with a white ribbon.
I was walking down the hall looking at all the paintings of Riven's family, I wasn't paying attention I bump into some one. It was no surprise that it was my knight
RIVEN'S POV
"A little distracted aren't we today princess?" I said as I rub my forehead since I bumped into my princess.
"Ow, sorry Riven, I was just looking at the paintings"
"Nah its ok, so you coming down to eat breakfast?"
"Aah no duh?"
The princess and I walk down the hall and down the stairs talking the usual things, we would bring up our feelings once in a while, but it was kind of awkward but I kind of liked it, once we reached the dining hall and we got seated dad asks Ally how she spent the night.
"We had so much fund dad, Musa French braided my hair and I did the same to hers, we watched movies and stuff, we had tuns of fun"
"Well I'm glad you did"
"What about the song?"
"What song big brother?"
"I don't know you tell me?"
"Oh you mean the lullaby mama used to sing to me in bed?"
"Mmjmm"
"Yeah we sang it, I didn't knew that Musa knew the song, but I'm glad she did, it's been so long since I've heard it"
"I'm just glad you had fun kiddo"
Ally smiled then gasps when she saw that she was going to be late for school. She gave all of us a kiss goodbye and went off to school. Once we were done eating my dad had some things to attend too, and Musa wanted me to show her more around the castle. So I was going to be her tour guide around the place.
