I jumped awake, with cold sweat on my forehead, I looked over to the window and saw that it was still dark outside, I got out of bed and walked over to the window, and opened it. Immediately the cold breeze hit, my face and it startled me slightly.
I walked over to my nightgown that was hanging on the back of the door, wrapped it around my shoulders, and slowly opened my bedroom door, I quietly walked out of my room making sure I wasn't being followed and made my way out to the back gardens. Once I had made it there I took a seat on one of the benches situated in front of the water fountain the sound of the water crashing against itself was like music to my ears, it made my body melt into the wooden slats of the bench and I never felt more relaxed in my life, that was until I was rudely startled out of my daydream by a cough, I turned around to find Chris standing behind me.
“Couldn’t sleep my dear?” he asked in a soft and gentle voice, he normally was pretty gentle when he spoke to me unless Xavier had pissed him off.
“Yeah, unfortunately, I had a nightmare so I wanted to come and get some fresh air before going back inside, hey Chris? I asked.
He gave me a smile and sat down next to me.
“The castle seems so peaceful at night time, don't you think?” I said leaning my head against the backrest of the bench.
“Honestly rosa I never really notice, Rosa I have been meaning to ask you something, is everything ok when ever your alone you seem to cry to yourself?” Chris looked at me with a concerned look.

“Yh I'm fine don't worry, sometimes I just miss my home but it doesn't matter I can't go back there now,” I said while watching the stars.
I looked at him and he looked super confused, I gave him a slight shrug of my shoulders and stood up.
“Come on let's go back inside, it's starting to get cold.”
We headed inside and I made my way towards the library, as I knew that the grand fireplace was always lit and I still didn't feel like sleeping, Chris followed me through the hallways which had photos of his family hung in all different-sized frames. And a few decorative ornaments here and there. As we made our way into the library I grabbed a book about
mythical creatures thinking that being in a place full of them I should do more research, I sat down in front of the fire and started to read.
Chris came and sat beside me resting his head on my shoulder he went to grab my hand but I moved it away before he could as I noticed what he was trying to do, i saw him glare at me from the corner of my eye, and this brought a small smile to my face. I heard him give out a little sigh, which honestly I found super cute. I looked toward him and I was taken aback by his next movements, in one swift movement he was kissing me, I didn't know how to react and when I didn't kiss back he bit my lower lip to show his disaprovement, which made me gasp slightly and I finally kissed him back, I felt him smile against my lips which made me want to tease him so I started to pull away slightly as I did Chris emitted a slight growl which made my skin crawl, and it gave me goosebumps all over my arms and legs. Chris finally pulled away after what seemed like minutes remembering that we both needed to breathe, he rested his head on my shoulder and started nuzzling his face into my neck, it ticked so I let out a slight giggle.
