His Maid, Her Prince 24 I Still Love Them

Now I laid curled up into him on my side. His strong arms wrapped around my waist while his head rested against my own. And that night I didn't fall into a dreamless sleep. Instead, I dreamed of getting sweet revenge.

Thomas POV

"Get a picture."

"I'm trying."

"They look so cute~"

"He's waking up. Get the picture."

My face rested on something soft. I slowly open my eyes to see Ava's chest directly in front of me. My arms still secured around her face. I turn my head to be met with the faces of Ava's friends and my siblings. I groaned and buried my face in her chest again. Ava slowly started to move to fully wake up. I could feel her looking down at me and I felt her body start to get warmer. She's blus.h.i.+ng.

"AHHH!" She screamed moving one her back which caused me to roll on top of her. She groaned due to my body weight. I heard snickers. I hate those two.

"Thomas can you please get off me." The way she says my name. It drives me insane. I soon got off her and she sat up to look around. The next thing I know 3 girls are charging at her causing me to fall off the bed.

"Need some help baby brother?" Mathew snickered at me. I accepted his hand and stood up.

"We need to talk." My brother said.

Ava's POV

"I'll be right back." Thomas kissed my head before leaving.

"Hey, Anna how was the kiss with Mathew?" I wiggled my eyebrows.

"YOU HEARD?!"

"Of course. I was half-conscious half not. Plus I s.h.i.+p Anthew."

"Oh, G.o.d." She muttered.

"Cam you have some explaining to do." Now turning my attention towards her.

"I do?" She asked shocked at why I was asking.

"Ye. Why are you mad at Rachel?"

"How did you know?!" Shock yet again clearly written across her face. Once she knew I wasn't going to give up she started explaining, "I found Rachel and Roshan together." I paled at the mention of Roshan's name.

"So just because we don't like him doesn't mean we have to hold it against them."

"Ava are you okay?" Belle asks coming forward. I managed to squeak out a 'yes'. Sure enough, before she could start to interrogate me the Queen came in.

"Ava? Can I speak to you in private?" She looked sorry for me.

"Of course." Everyone filled out of the room sending me encouraging smiles. She sat down next to me and toon my hand in hers. I looked up into her ocean blue eyes seeing the sorrow and grief in them.

"What's wrong?" My voice slightly wavering.

"There was a fire. And there was this family."

"How does this relate to me?"

"We happened to find out that, that family happened to be related to you." s.h.i.+t.

"Who?" My voice cracking.

"Your G.o.dparents. There were no survivors. We think that these are the same people who are raiding our country. There are similar cases to this that are still being investigated."

Tears started to stream down my face slowly but surely. I buried my head in the pillows. No matter how horrible my family as they were always there for me. I felt her get up and murmur something to someone. I felt the bed dip and looked up to see Thomas. I lunged at him and buried my face in his chest.

"I'm hungry." He chuckled at that before leaving. I crawled into bed and pulled her close.

"AVA!" I quickly got up seeing Rachel and Anna there. The ran toward me.

"I'm sorry."

"I still love them and I miss them." I was able to croak out.

"We know," Anna said slowly stroking my hair. We moved towards the bed and just sat there.

"We need ice cream." Rachel thought thoughtfully.

"Yes, we do." A smug smile on my face.

"Why do you have a smug smile on your face."

"Because Thomas is bringing me food."

"Lucky I wish someone would do that for me," Anna said as she flipped through the channels.

"Really?"

"Yes!"

"Anna, you good?" I looking towards her.

"Yeah."

"No, you aren't."

"Fine. Before I saw you almost dead I saw Book at the party and she said I'm next."

"You saw Brook?!" I was almost talking normally again now.

"Yes!"

"Wait if Brook said your next than she thinks I'm dead then that means-"

"She's involved." Anna cut me off.

"Do you know who attacked you?" Rachel asked me.

"Roshan." Letting no emotion come through.

"No your lying!" I just stayed silent before Rachel ran off.

"She going to tell him you know?"

"I know." I breathed. Well, that took a turn.
