Part 16 (that's so many parts)
Alastor sat at his table, drinking his favourite whiskey. Seemingly relaxed and not caring about anything in the world. That was his outside mood but his inside was still burning from what happened weeks ago. He did something he's never done before, he felt something he's never felt before. He wanted to go back so badly and see her again but he felt like if he did, he'd lose and gain something of himself. And that was something to fear.
He was so curious, so wondrous on these new things but now, they seemed terrifying, not that he'll ever admit that. A sudden knock came at his door, it was a strange thing for anyone besides Nifty to come visit but he doubt it was her. But as a gentlemen he'd answer and if it was trouble, he would deal with it thoroughly. He opened the door and to his great surprise, the princess was standing behind it.
He just finished thinking about not seeing her and now she's here, how ironic. Charlie: "Al-". He shut the door as quickly as he opened it. Not believing what he had seen he opens it again. Charlie: "I-". He shut it again, nope she was really there. He took a deep breath and then opened it once more. Charlie: "can I speak now?". Alastor: "...you may". Charlie was actually here, was she that worried of him not showing up at the hotel or did she really want to see him? She was so full of mysteries.
Charlie: "Al, I know it's weird that I'm here but, I've just been worried lately, you haven't shown up at the hotel in a couple of weeks so I came by". Alastor and her stood in silence for about a minute but he gave in and asked if she'd come in. She agreed to the kind gesture and let herself in. His house wasn't fully what she'd expect it but it seemed right too. Since he's old style, of course his house had to be as well.
Alastor watched in silence as the girl took in her surroundings, his heart started beating like a drum. His stomach twisted at her sight and every movement. It was almost too much to handle but he was good at staying calm so he did that. Alastor: "Take a seat my dear". Alastor directed her at his couch that he had, which she accepted and sat down. He sat down beside her, not saying a word
Charlie: "...Well Al, um, I just wanted to ask if you've been, ok?". Her kindness was pure, even if she was nervous. Al looked at her with soft eyes and a short smile. Alastor: "Ive been fine my dear, just a lot on my mind lately". Charlie: "Well you can tell me about it, if you want?". Charlie's actual concern for him was baffling, he could never understand her eagerness to help others or her kind words or her beautiful smile. He knew, if she'd ever have actually been alive instead of being born here, she would have been in heaven if she'd die.
Alastor: "It's fine, there's nothing to concern yourself about". Charlie took a bold move and placed her hands right in front of her, leaning closer to him, which made his heart beat faster. Charlie: "Of course it does, we're friends after all". She smiled at him sweetly which triggered his stomach twistings to become worse. He looked away from her, feeling like he'd just explode from her sight.
Alastor: "Charlie, it is best if you didn't look at me that way". Charlie turned her head, confused, what did he mean by that? Charlie: "but why?". Alastor raised his head, still not looking at her but looking at the floor in front of him. He didn't know why, he didn't understand these feelings, he didn't know if he should tell her or not. Alastor sighed and then looked at his roof. Alastor: "you sure are one of kind my dear, even your sight influences every action I've taken since that day".
She was still so confused, what day? The day he kissed her or was it another day? Alastor: "I know you might be confused, trust me, so am I, I was so curious on this feeling I had, since I first saw you on that screen, you've made my dead heart beat". These words were true, these words weren't from his head but from his heart. Charlie still couldn't understand, so he's been having these "feelings" since he first saw her? But what feelings could that be? Charlie: "What are you saying, Al?". Alastor finally looked at her, his eyes were soft and his smile was low, this made her heart beat as well.
What he means by feelings, does he mean... Love?
