Alexandra's POV

Alexandra aged 5

"Xandraaaa oh xandra! Come out, come out wherever you are! You can't hide from meee!"

I giggled as I hid in the wardrobe. I covered my mouth to muffel out the sound.

"I can hear youuuuu."
The boy walked closer to her hiding spot and Alexandra couldn't help but laugh silently.

"Found you!"

She was picked up and tickled all over. She couldn't help but squeal and laugh as Ryan tickled her till she was in tears of laughter.

"Aww Ryaaaan how did you find me so fast. I had a good hiding place." She pouted and crossed her arms and Ryan kissed her forhead.

"Now now Xandra you promised me you would go to sleep as soon as I found you." The boy said sternly as he lifted Alexandra up and took her to her room.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and snuggled her tiny head in the crook of his neck.

She was already beginning to get a bit sleepy. Maybe it was time for her to get some sleep.

He layed her down on her thin matress that she called a bed and the boy sat beside her rubbing her head and playing with her hair carefully lulling her to sleep.

"Ryan tell me the story again pwease pwease pwease." The boy laughed at her excitement. He layed down beside her and placed her small body on top of his large one and she played with the chain around the boys neck that housed 4 rings on its chain.

He began his story. "There was once three children. One beautiful princess." He touched Alexandra's nose fondly. "One breathtaking Queen." His eyes sparkled as he thought of her. "And one dashing handsome king." He tapped his chest and Alexandra giggled.

"They all lived together in a small cottage in the kingdom with a few other children from the village. All under the watchful eye of the mean old ogre who held them captive." He tickled my belly and I laughed.

He's always calling Mr Wilson the orphanage owner an ogre because he's mean and gives us owies all the time but Ryan always fixes them and kisses them better.

"When the King and Queen both turn 18 they leave the horrible cottage and the smelly ogre." He pinched his nose and I copied him. We both made funny faces and laughed together.

"They take with them the beautiful princess and together they move into their own castle. The castle is the size of 6 double decker buses stacked on top of each other." Alexandra stood up and stretched her arms as far as she could.

"Like THIS big Ryan?" Ryan laughed and brought her back to his chest. "Even bigger than that Xandra."

"Wow that's vewy vewy big!" They both laughed and Ryan kissed her head.

"That's right baby. The King and his Queen lived in the castle with their princess with them and even a dog for the princess to play with. Soon the King and his Queen had their wedding." He held on to the rings around his neck and smiled as he thought about it.
