Please, feel right at home
TARRANT POV:
“Where ur those cookies?” I mumbled to myself looking for them. I searched kitchen when finally I got them. But suddenly I straightened. I heard strange coming from the outside. “Glaikit lazy bastards cannae bide fur sweets! Ah will shaw them!” Again I muttered angry. At last I found biscuits I was looking for, I took them into small basket and rushed out to yell at my company and ask what are they doing here and not there.
“Oi! Ye fat lazy bastards! Whit fur th' white yoo're daein' at mah hoose?! Argh...” I opened door to my house with a kick and stared angrily at everyone when I realized Alice was with them. “Oh, Alice! I'm so sorry I yelled, I mean cookies. Cookies wanted to eat them. I mean eat... cookies...”
“Tarrant, calm down” She come closer to me and hug my tightly. “I'm so happy to see you again!”
“I'm fine... yes, me too.” I said to her while her golden locks where tickled my cheeks. “Alice! You're late again! Naughty! Please sit with us, let's drink tea!” I took her arm and put it on mine. Then escorted her to her chair right next to mine. Of course next to mine, I grinned to myself in my thoughts.
“We were having party for two weeks now, celebrating Frabjous Day. White Queen also be delighted to see you here in Underland again. We'll go to her tomorrow I think. Chess can you go later and inform McTwisp that there is a special guest for the queen? Sooo, Alice!” Here I again turned my eyes for my beautiful Champion “Tell us your adventures in Aboveland! We are so eager to listen everything!”
“Well, let's start from...” after just a second I lost track of what she was saying. I just got lost in those brown eyes of her, those golden locks. Smile when she said something funny. Her hand gestures and quick breath from talking fast, little blush over her cheeks. Here breast was waving rapidly. I was mesmerized my looking at her. “Oh! Tarrant in China I bought something for you!” She turn to me and then stood up and started to unpacking her bag. I come back to senses and look at her interested. She picked small bales of fabrics, some bags with laces and other accessories for sewing.
“Oh my, these is a very nice present, sweetling, but I don't know if I deserved to get such a gift.” I stated touching soft exotic fabric from Aboveland. “Can you tell me later what kind of clothes they're making of it?” I imagined how Alice could look wrapped in this fabric... naked... oh, stop this it's inappropriate.
“O-of course you do.” Alice smile at me and still she blushed, maybe even more. “I'll tell you everything you want.” Then she again started too talk with rest. Again I just looked at her while holding fabric in my fingers letting it slide across them.
ALICE POV:
At first I was a bit scared when Tarrant jumped from house and started to scream at Mally, Thackery and Chess over come sweets. But then he realized I was with them and I saw this embarrassment in his eyes. He wanted to explain in this cute manner of him. I just come closer and calmed him down. I was so happy that I couldn't resist and hugged him. Then he took my arm just like a perfect gentleman and lead me to the table. Just like I've thought they wanted to hear everything I did in Aboveland.
“Well, let's start from when I've left Underland. I went straight to the engagement party. I refused this boring Hamish to be his wife, I told everyone what I was thinking and go with Lord Ascot to talk about business. My late father had trading company and I wanted to expand it to land called China.” I looked at Tarrant. His eyes where yellow with this light pink hiding there... He looked at me with passion, I've felt I blushed. “There I had to persuade traders to begin cooperation with my company. I also have learn about foreign culture of this country.” I told them about people, weather, food, art and finally for Hatter, I told about clothes of China, they listened to me like charmed. “Oh! Tarrant in China I bought something for you!” I go to my bag to take packages from it. I gave him everything and looked how he touched everything, felt each of fabric in his finger. I started to fell jealous about it. I know I shouldn't but I just wanted him to touch me just like this materials. I should feel ashamed but I didn't.
“Oh my, these is a very nice present, sweetling, but I don't know if I deserved to get such a gift. Can you tell me later what kind of clothes they're making of it?” I looked at him when he was touching fabrics then I looked into his eyes to see... see pink? I could swear that it was lust.
“O-of course you do.” I smiled at him. I know I have blush all over my cheeks, I felt hot. “I'll tell you everything you want.” And then I continued to tell my story. Sometimes peek what Hatter was doing. He still had one of the fabrics in his finger. It had slide across his finger all the time, making me yearn for touch of his finger even more. “And that's how I got here again.” I finished my story.
“You are really brave!” Mally praised me. “I don't know if I could go somewhere far away to argue with other people. I'm too nervous to do so I think.”
“Don't say that Mally! I know that if I had you with me I could make even better business!” I stated to support her a bit.
“Don't flatter me Alice.” She replied but I knew that she was touched by my words. “Ok Thackery, it's time for us. Chess ar'ya going with us?”
“Yes, I think so. I need to go to McTwisp anyway. And it getting darker. Time to finish this tea party.” Chess whirl in air and disappeared. “Goodnight!”
“Goodnyt Myss Alyyss!” Thackery jumped onto ground and took Mally between his ears.
“Goodnight Alice!” Mally waved me goodbye from Thackery's head. When everyone have left I turned my head to Tarrant.
“Shall we clean the table? Hey, Tarrant. Hey?” It took my while to get his attention.
“Oh, yes, lets take those cups, plates and pots.” And he started to put all of it on a tray. “Can you take those two? They won't fit on the tray. And after that I'll bring your bag inside to your room.
“Can you show me your place?” I asked. “It's my first time to go inside to your house. I hope I won't bother you tonight. Maybe tomorrow Queen Mirana will give me some small room in her palace so I won't bother you too long.” But somehow I begged him in my thoughts to let me be with him in this house for ever. And then...
“Um... I was thinking... Maybe you would like to live here with me, not on a court with White Queen? I have big house, maybe not so comfortable as White Palace, but it's nice in my opinion.” He stated and watch me with tension.
“I'd love that! Of course if I won't be too much pain for you.” It was just like my dreams come true just in front of my eyes. I couldn't believe my luck.
“Oh, I'm so happy, sweetling!” I love also how he call me sweetling. We took dishes to sink and then he started to show me the house. I couldn't believe it's so big. In front it look rather small but inside there is second floor with 3 bedrooms and nice bathroom. At the ground floor there was nice living-room and big kitchen with table for 6 people. And the most magical place of all - Tarrant's workroom. It was fool of fabrics, figure-models with unfinished clothes, figure-heads with both unfinished and finished hats. I stared at everything with awe.
"Alice, I also have somethin' for ya. But wait, I'll fetch you bag and we'll go to your new bedroom.” he stated with huge grin. I looked at him with curiosity. “Wait here.” Then he go for my bag. Just second after he came. “Let's go, sweetling.” So I went after him. He opened first doors. “This is your room. I hope you like it!.” I looked at my new room with surprise. It was so beautiful. Blue walls, and blue curtains. Blue cape on the bed. Huge mirror on the wall and beautiful dark furniture. I was just amazed.
“It's beautifull!” I jumped on the bed “And I love the bed!” I acted like a 5-year-old child, but I didn't care. He sat next to me, then he lay down next to me.
“Look at the ceiling!” He stated. I had to roll over and then a shock took my words. On the ceiling I had stars and comets and all universe. It looked beautiful. “I made it especially for you, Alice.” He looked at me with this yellow eyes of his, showing how he care about me.
“Thank you, Tarrant.” I replied and grab his hand. I lay on the bed and didn't notices, when I just fell asleep. When I woke up in the morning, he still was holding my hand.
Please, feel right at home
