Chapter III
First day
ALLICE POV:
I was dreaming about him. In my dream Tarrant was sitting next to me. He was telling me how he love me, and how he have missed me since I left.
“I really missed you, Sweetling. And if I only could tell you how I love you. But it doesn't matter. I wouldn't dare to say it to you.” That was strange. He was saying it now? Ah, doesn't matter. It's only a dream.
“I love you, Tarrant.” I just said to encourage him. But then that dream changed to other one, where I was sailing in stars. I don't remember anything more. When I woke up in the morning I saw Hatter sleeping next to me, holding my hand. I was really touched by this view. When he was asleep he looked so peaceful and beautiful. I was gazing at him for quite long when he opened his eyes and woke up.
“Good morning!” I said smiling “I fell asleep yesterday, I think I was a bit tired after journey and all that what happened. I'm sorry.” I stood up and looked for some fresh dress in my bag.
“Don't apologize, Alice. I should apologize about sleeping in same bed. It wasn't right.” He was backing to doors with blush on his cheeks. So adorable! “Please, forgive me.” And he rushed out of the room. I only could shout after him that it's ok, there's no problem. So I did.
“Don't worry Tarrant! It's no problem, we're friends!” I hoped he understood and won't be bothered by it. “Hmm, I'll go and wash myself” I murmured to myself. I took soap, dress and towels and went to get myself clean.
TARRANT POV:
When I show Alice her new bedroom she was mesmerized. She was like that little girl I first met. Jumping on the bed. I couldn't stop grinning. It made me really proud that I and my work was the reason that she was happy. “Look at the ceiling!” I said, and then I realized that my Alice is the most beautiful in the world. She was just perfect in every way. “I made it especially for you, Alice.” She turned her gaze onto me and I could see her brown eyes. Eyes which were looking at me, showing be how she was happy.
“Thank you, Tarrant.” She said and grabbed my hand. Then she just lay on the bed looking at the ceiling. I was looking at her all the time. She didn't noticed when she fell asleep. Then I could tell her everything.
“Alice, my beautiful Alice. You don't even now how lucky I am having you right here beside me.” I touched her golden locks. “ Your hair is like sun. Your skin is so delicate I'm always frightened I could hurt you. I love you so much. Since I saw you coming here for second time to kill Jabberwock.” I wrapped one of her curls on my finger. It was so silky. “I really missed you, Sweetling. And if I only could tell you how I love you. But it doesn't matter. I wouldn't dare to say it to you.” I felt my heart will fall apart. But I gad to be strong. Then something strange happened. Alice shook her head and then...
“I love you, Tarrant.” She said while dreaming. How was is possible? I couldn't believe it. It was like spark of hope. But what if it was only dream? On the other hand, she was dreaming about me. Me! No one else. I lay next to her, still holding her hand. Only for a while, I thought to myself. But accidentally I fell asleep. When I woke up it was morning.
“Good morning!” Alice said to me, smiling like an angel. “I fell asleep yesterday, I think I was a bit tired after journey and all that what happened. I'm sorry.” She stood up and then she started to look for something in her bag. Then I realized what happened. I was sleeping with her. She must be mad at me. Stupid, glaikit radge cheil!
“Don't apologize, Alice. I should apologize about sleeping in same bed. It wasn't right.” I backed slowly to doors I felt hot from shame. “Please, forgive me.” Then I run down to calm and prepare some breakfast.
“Don't worry Tarrant! It's no problem, we're friends!” I heard Alice. I felt a bit better when she said that. Then I remembered last night, when she said those beautiful words. I've just longed for more.
