Chapter 49: Chapter 49

ATLAS:

I had left the castle a little upset, that female simply drives me crazy with her stubbornness.

I spent practically the whole day at the training camp, I needed to take the stress out of breaking someone's face and consequently instructing the rookies in certain functions.

Is she missing me?

I keep asking myself as I take a quick shower, in the meantime, I'm trying to reason straight and put my mind in order, in a way I know I made a mistake by not respecting her space.

But which male can be without his female?

I dry off and put on a spare outfit that I always leave there in case there's anything unforeseen, I run my hand through my hair making it a mess and I left the locker room heading towards my car.

I get in the car and stay there thinking of a way to get right with my female, to make our relationship pure peace and joy again.

With a few fights and a lot of stubbornness from my princess.

I cross my arms on top of the steering wheel and rest my head on them trying to relax, maybe that way I can clear my mind for possible ideas.

I already know!

I can't contain my silly smile when imagining his reaction when he sees it, I think I'm going to earn even a few more points with my princess, I start the car and he takes off in the direction of a little shop.

There I can't control myself and I take everything I think is necessary to see my partner's smile, I take two boxes in the shape of hearts, two containers that look like those for toothpaste, ribbons, and bows, wrapping paper, a paper bag full with red hearts and flowers and a mug with the words "Stubbornness is my middle name", I paid everything and went looking for a pastry shop.

I find one that is very prestigious, and just by the smell you smell when you enter, you already know that it is the best place for those who love sweets like my female.

— Supreme how can I help?— asked a short gentleman dressed in a light blue apron and a hat like those of a boss, he appears to be the owner of the place.

He probably wasn't expecting a visit from me as his look is somewhat startled and disbelieving.

— I'd like to try your best sweets— I say greeting the old man with a handshake.

— Sure let me get the specials, you can sit over there in the meantime— he says kindly and I quickly leave in search of my order.

I sit down relaxed in the chair indicated to me and wait patiently for you to return.

I see the poor gentleman arrive bringing sweets on two different trays, I marvel at the delicious smell that exudes from each of the sweets.

My princess would love it here.

I taste them one by one, each one with a different taste and texture, but like the others, they are wonderful.

I choose different flavors and ask you to put them in those little boxes with the shape of hearts that I bought, it doesn't take long and my request is granted.

— Now I would like you to put brigadier inside one of these containers and kisses inside the other one— I ask, handing over the containers that look like that toothpaste to you.

— A few minutes and it will be ready supreme— he says and once again I left in a hurry.

I walk around the store seeing different sweets scattered on their shelves, I pick up a small package that had a ribbon that caught my attention for containing different types of candies.

Until it's interesting.

— Here is supreme— I hear and turn around seeing that everything was ready.

— Thanks, I'll take this little package here too— I say arranging the little package in a nice way inside the mug.

The first step is complete!

When everything is finally in my hands, I pay the gentleman and leave the establishment already thinking about my next destination.

I drive to the bookstore in town, hoping it's not closed because it's past seven o'clock.

I arrive and see that it's almost closing, I don't waste time and go in looking in detail at each book there.

I don't know how to choose books, to tell you the truth I don't even like them and I've never imagined myself in a bookstore, but if my female likes them, I must buy them even at the bookstore if that's what she wants.

I choose a few romances and dramas, types of books I've seen my partner read many times and am likely to enjoy.

In all, there were six books that with great difficulty I managed to choose, I ask the girl who works there to wrap them with the gift papers I brought and put the ribbons and bows too.

I left the place feeling very satisfied with everything I had prepared for my female, I got in the car putting everything I had bought inside the big paper bag.

The second step is complete!

I go home nervous when realizing that I had never done that in my life.

Will she like it?

That's all I can think of as I continue driving kind of automatically to the castle, I'm close when I spot a stool with a lady sitting next to it.

On this bench, there were several flowers and they were fascinating, I barely noticed when I stopped the car nearby and walked toward them.

I looked carefully feeling the pleasant aroma that emanated from them, the lady who was sitting before got up and smiled kindly when she saw me.

— What makes a boy like the supreme come look at my humble flowers— he asks and I can see curiosity and then understanding pass through his eyes.

— Your Supreme— I say a little embarrassed by the proud look the lady gives me.

— A male in love does crazy things for his beloved— he says sighing as if he was remembering something— come, my boy, tell me what kind of flower you're looking for.

I spend a while thinking looking at the flowers.

— I want one that shows my regret and the love I feel for her, one that means forgiveness for all the stupid things I do— I say sincerely.

— Of course dear, I have the perfect flower for you— she says picking up a beautiful bouquet of white roses.

I look at the arrangement for a moment, which, as beautiful as it is, I feel that somehow something is missing...

I already know!

I walk past the lady looking for my target and quickly scan the stall when I finally find my target.

Beautiful red roses are gloriously standing out in the corner of the booth.

— I would like you to arrange with these red roses surrounded by white ones— I ask, looking fascinated at the flowers.

— Great choice— she says excitedly already starting to prepare a beautiful bouquet of white and red roses.

Meanwhile, I find myself smiling proudly as I realize that I made the right choice regarding roses.

— Supreme Ready — says the lady extending me the beautiful and decorated bouquet, the same is exactly the way I had asked.

I pay the lady and head happily towards the car, where I leave everything I bought in the passenger seat, taking special care with the roses.

Time to go home.

I drive towards my house trying to control my anxiety, my heart is beating nervously and I just can't control it, which kind of scares me.

It must be the anxiety itself.

When I finally get home I let out a satisfied grunt, remove my belt and bend over to pick things up, only then do I realize that my cell phone at some point I didn't realize had fallen to the floor of the car.

Caught seeing that it is unloaded, I shrug unconcernedly putting it in my pants pocket.

She got out of the car with the bags in one hand and the bouquet in the other, I get a little confused when closing the car door, but soon it is already locked.

Walking towards the door I start to feel my hands a little slippery probably sweating with nervousness, I grip the roses and bags more firmly in my hands.

I open the door making a little unnecessary noise when opening it, I turn around closing it trying to make as little noise as possible.

I take a few steps into the room when I stop suddenly, my princess finds herself with tears streaming down her beautiful eyes. My chest hurts just seeing it that way, a knife stuck in it would hurt less than that.

I try to say something but all I manage to do is stare at her with indescribable concern.

She finally starts to come towards me, I remain alert as she takes wobbly steps towards me, when suddenly her eyes close and her body makes a slow journey towards the ground.

I drop the things I had bought anyway and run at preternatural speed towards her.

I manage to arrive in time not to let her fall, her body collapsed in my arms giving me a feeling of impotence, I despair with her like that, my heart beats so frantically inside my chest that I think it will end up coming out of my mouth.

— GLORIA— I call out of control, then I see her panting beside me— call the doctor— I say running my hand through my princess's hair, and firm her in my arms taking her quickly and carefully to our room.
