A Butler And His Princess » Places

         

Edwin's eyes went wide as she held onto him, spinning around. "A-Alice! Whoa there!" He exclaimed as he held her waist still, trying to calm her down. Edwin sighed as he looked at his beloved princess. "Alice.." Edwin said, looking down at her. 'If only...we could be.' He thought sadly. Edwin cleared his throat and let go of her. "I'm sorry, It wasn't my intention to take your first kiss...I guess, I just lost control for a moment." He said, sounding a little distant, as if he was fighting a war within himself. His gloved hand touched her chin as he stared into her eyes. Silence swept over for a few seconds before he spoke. "You need to go to sleep." He said, walking away to her bed.

He finished fluffing her pillows and held the covers open. "There." He said, finishing making her bed as comfortable as possible. Edwin looked over at her smiling. He felt confused. Half of him wanted to kiss her more, and touch her soft skin with his bare hands, but the other half felt like he had to never touch her in that manor again.
