Chapter 248: Late night talk (1)
"You want me to sleep here with you? Your mother-"
"I know what time she wakes and I will be sure to not let her find you here when morning comes. You fail to realise sometimes how I don’t want my mother to find us together. I don’t need to hear about children and marriage right now. Wait here," Rafael said, getting out of the tub first to find something to dry off Annalise with.
"I think if your mother knew that we were like this right now, she would be silent. Excited, but she would give us some space to make a relationship grow. Getting angry with anyone interrupting our time together. We are supposed to be going into town tomorrow which means she might come knocking at our doors early to remind us," said Annalise.
Annalise stepped out of the tub and drained the rest of the water. She hugged her chest as the air suddenly became cold.
Rafael returned to her side to wrap a large blanket around her to cover her entire body and then lifted her to take her to the bed.
Annalise enjoyed every second of being lifted around and not having to do anything for herself. She could get used to this. Why did you need to use your feet when there was a strong handsome knight around to lift you? The queen had many knights around her and if Annalise were in her place, this was how she would travel around.
She sat quietly on the bed after she was placed there and watched Rafael look around his clothes for something she could wear to bed. Annalise started to imagine how hilarious it would be for her to wear something belonging to him. He was like a giant compared to her.
Rafael picked out a light blue cloth shirt with long sleeves for Annalise to wear to bed. It should reach her thighs and the long sleeves would help to keep her warm from the cold night air since he had to open the window so it wouldn’t be too hot inside when he added a little wood to the fireplace.
"Thank you," Annalise said, accepting the shirt to put on while Rafael went to dry himself, and get dressed for bed.
