Alarick
Three weeks have passed and I have settled most of the tension with the neighboring rouge territories. Several treaties and delegations were made. I gave those rouge's what they wanted for now. It relives me to know that I had a little more control over my life.
Emily was situated on the other side of the bed with three blankets piled on top of her. She likes to be really warm when she sleeps. Especially when I'm not there to keep her warm. I usually return back to our room very early in the morning. She was so cold without me there that I had to get her a heating pad.
I wondered how she stayed warm when she was by herself. When I asked her, she said something about how Zamora kept her warm , and that she couldn't now because Zamora was gone.
It didn't make any sense. She was half awake when she said that .
My phone suddenly rang, causing Emily to flinch slightly.
It read , "MICHAEL" across the screen. I rolled my eyes.
In a irritated voice, I answered.
"What Michael?"
He sighed and replied, "You really need to watch how you answer this damn phone."
I pinched the bridge of my nose out of frustration.
"Just tell me, is everything okay on your side?"
"Yes" He replied. " Every thing is fine. But...Is there anything you want to tell me?"
Oh. I forgot to tell him about Emily. But it seemed like he already knew.
"Oh-"
"It's okay , I'm coming over anyways to meet her. But I just want to let you know that Council want to hold a meeting with you. They found out you weren't in office. Dad bad talked you."
I sighed lowly. This was expected.
"That's fine. We had a...Disagreement."
He cleared his throat and sounded irritated.
"Whatever Alarick, You and Father need to get your s**t together. We cant have any disagreements like this. Father is on his own now, there is no doubt that he could rebel against you if he wanted."
I looked over at Emily , "I know Michael."
"Handle your f*****g Daddy issues!" He quickly hung up.
Emily began to wake up. When she opened her eyes, she seemed elated to see me.
"Your here!" She threw all of the covers off of her body and situated herself on my lap.
While she was straddling me she threw her arms around my neck.
I was trying so hard to control myself around her lately. I love that she is able to show her affection , I know it's innocent , but damn she makes 'taking it slow' so hard.
My hands traveled down to her ass and I gently squeezed.
She let out a small moan. Cute.
She pulled away from my chest and looked up at me.
"I-Im hungry." She squeaked out.
I smirked at her and we stood up. "Go brush your like how I showed you. Then meet me downstairs."
While she was getting ready , I began to freshen up in another bathroom.
For the Council meeting , I decided on going simple today. An Armani suit and I paired it with a grey tie.
I put on my business flats and I jogged my way downstairs to meet Emily for breakfast.
When she saw me , she looked me up and down.
"Why are you dressed like that?" Right. She's never seen me so dressed up.
"I have to go to a meeting, but don't worry, my brother will be here to keep you company."
I began to start preparing her food. When I turned back around , she was crying.
"W-Why are you leaving me?" I rushed to her side and pulled her in my lap.
"No Emily, I would never leave you. I just have to handle some business.
She was used to a schedule now. I usually left to finish dome business work only when she fell asleep. But I would always be back when she woke up.
To her this is unexpected.
"You have a brother?" She asked.
I nodded. "You'll like him, He is going to keep you safe."
"O-Okay." I put her food in front of her and she began to eat.
After a while , the door bell rang.
"Ding Dong!"
I've learned that she likes the doorbell now. What a little weirdo. I smiled at her goofiness.
I took long strides towards the door.
It was Michael.
We acknowledged each other, but before he stepped in , I stopped him.
"I know your not like dad , but don't be f*****g racist."
There are barely no people of color in the Kingdom. I know he is going to be surprised when he sees her.
"The fact that you even have to say some s**t like that offends me. You know I'm not like him. Idiot."
He blew me off and simply walked pass me.
We both stepped in the door frame and watched Emily eat from a far. As I was about to introduce them to each other, Michael interrupted me.
"I think I'd stop being gay for her"
I laughed internally.
"Shut up." I shoved pass him and went to comfort Emily.
"There is a surprise upstairs in the bathroom for you. You can sleep with it when you want to take a nap."
Her teary eyes lit up a bit.
"R-Really?"
I nodded my head.
"When I come back , I want you to tell me how much you like it."
She giggled a bit.
"Okay!"
I turned around and spoke to Michael before leaving.
"She is very quiet and shy. Don' t be so damn scary looking. And be nice. You asshole. She doesn't understand sarcasm."
He gave me a confused look.
"I'll tell you about where she comes from when I get back."
He crossed his arms and sighed.
"I don't know why you think I cant act like a f*****g decent human being. Get out of here."
" f**k off."
He laughed.
"I hope your late."
"Michael , please don't let anything bad happen today. I trusted you with the kingdom, I'm hoping you can take care of a small girl."
"Oh my God , Alarick. If you don't trust me , why did you invite me over.."
He invited himself over but okay. He's right though. If I didn't trust him , I wouldn't be leaving right now.
