Chapter 8 - Alex
I open my eyes slowly, confused at my surroundings at first, a stable? Oh yes, the memories of last night come rushing back to me. I smile to myself and look down to see Layla's head resting against my chest. The sunlight spilling into the stall make her curls sparkle like magic.
The light.
It was morning.
Shit.
I shake Layla vigorously, and she jumps and looks up at me with bleary eyes.
"Wake up! It's morning, we gotta get out of here!"
Her eyes widen in shock as realisation dawns upon her face.
"Oh shit." She exclaims and jumps to her feet and starts to pull her clothes on hurriedly as I do the same.
In less than a minute we are dressed and out of the stable. She turns to leave but I lean down and kiss her before she can get away.
"I love you." She murmurs, her lips still pressed to mine.
I pull away and take her face in my hands,
"As I love you. And always will."
(Let me just point out that this story is set in medieval times like the TV series Merlin if any of you have watched it you will know what I mean and it will help you picture the story in your head)
