Why Me? (reserved)

I nodded a little, pulling my hood back up.

I road with her. "If its alright with you we should head into the bigger cities."

I nodded a little, looking ahead.

I snapped the reigns riding past small villages. "This must be awful for you." I said softly.

"I'm fine, really"

I nodded and let it be. As the sun set we road into a small city. I got off the horse and lead it to an inn where I helped her down and we went inside.

I followed him inside, looking around cautiously.

It was much fancyer than the other places. There was a desk and I went to it. I talked with the man and got us a room with two beds.

I waited by his side, silent.

He gave us the key and I walked with her to our room. Inside it was simple and cozy. I closed and locked the door behind us.

I layed down on the bed away from the windows, curled up.

I gently sat beside her. "You can talk to me if you want." I said.

"I'm just a little shaken up still..." I said softly, looking up at him. "My heart is still poundng.

I gently held her. "Its going to be okay. I won't let anything happen to you." I said softly.

I nodded a little, leaning against him.

I gently rubbed her arms. "I will keep you safe." I said.

"Thank you."

I nodded and gently kissed her cheek.

I shut my eyes, my head against his chest. "Will you stay here?"

"Stay here as in the room?" I asked looking at her.

"Right here next to me..." I said even softer than before.

I smiled and kissed her cheek. "Of course I'll stay here." I said. "I'll stay here as long as you want." I said.

"Thank you..." I kissed his cheek back, shutting my eyes. I curled my legs up, resting against him.

I held her simply rubbing her back.

I begand to fall asleep in his arms.
