Chapter 8

It was now 3 in the morning and you were fighting sleep.

Every time you would drift off you would jolt back up.

Erik here right now felt like a dream. A sweet peaceful dream you wouldn't dare to wake up from.

You knew in the morning he'd be gone.

"Analise. Your eyes are hardly open. C'mon lets go to bed."he said picking you up and carrying you bridal style.

"No you're gonna leave me." you whined into his chest trying not to cry.

"I already told you i cant be here the whole time. My people need me and i cant abandon them." he layed you on to the bed and pulled the sheets over you before climbing into the bed beside you. He pulled you close to him, and you layed your head on his chest while he stroked your hair.

"Erik I've missed this so much. I need you too. Promise me you'll be careful so you can come back to me." you said faintly.

"I promise. " he vowed seriously.

"No. pinky promise. If you break it i get to break your pinky. " said smiling with your pinky in the air.

He laughed lightly. "I pinky promise Ana." he said while wrapping his pinky around yours. He tugged your pinky to his mouth with his and kissed it gently. "Now get some sleep. I know your tired."

You pouted like an angry child.

He gave you a stern look.

"Goodnight Erik. I love you." you proclaimed with heavy eyelids. Everything went black before you heard Erik's voice one more time.

"I love you more my sweet little angel."

The bright rays of the sun broke through your window as you stretched out on the bed. He was gone. You sat up and looked around. You saw a tray of food on the nightstand. Erik must've made you breakfast before leaving. You saw a note placed under the cup of orange juice you grabbed it and began to read it.

Dear my beautiful Analise,

Good morning! As you have noticed i am gone. Duty called. But dont worry i pinky promised a special girl (who kinda looks like you but prettier ) that i would come back. And i would like to keep my pinky unbroken. I also obviously made you breakfast. I didnt burn it but im sure it tastes awful. I left you money to buy good food. It was the thought that counts. I hope you'll take care of yourself Ann. You know i love you see you soon.
