In love with the Princess

chapter 57

Ryder's POV

The angels of the world are always given the evilest demons.

At least thats what I tell myself. Lilliann Cordelia Wells is a pure angel being put through the toughest things it seems possible.

Overpowering some of her thoughts, pushing away all the bad habits and redeeming some of he worst actions, she has almost freed herself in a way.

Our relationship moved fast from the beginning. In a time where we both needed help, and we were in pain, we found love.

Dare I say our love was even 'love at first sight.' I was grieving. Not the loss of my father but the loss of my mother when he passed away.

When my father left this world he took my mother with him. Yet he left me in the shadows. They left me.

I tried to kill myself, twice. There is no denying that. I eventually accepted the fact that I wasn't going to get better. I was set on the idea that that was as good as it gets.

When I even look at Lilly for a moment she takes my breath away. She leaves me to wonder how I ever even thought that way.

I used to think I would hate myself for kissing her. I thought I would get fired and my dreams would be crushed just like that.

Oh how I wish I could tell myself that it would be the best descision you've ever made in life.

Lilliann Cordelia Wells saved me. Not only from myself but from my past as well.

She is struggling. I can see it clearly. Her father is slowly cracking her glass heart to pieces. I'm trying to help glue them back together before that one piece just collapsed the whole thing.

Lilliann Cordelia Wells is the angel with the hardest demons. And that demon is her father.

As I walked back to the kitchen I decided she needed a day away. The world was ways revolving around Phely and I as well as work.

So I called the only girl I could think of that was her best friend. Esmay Fields.

She agreed to come over for a 'girls day' today and Carlos and I could hang while they went out.

So I set to work making breakfast for everyone.

As I had just finished the baby moniter went off and Phely started yelling.

I ran upstairs so that Lil could get rest. She was already on her way to her when I told her to go lie back down.

"Ugh I love you." She mumbled as she went back to the bed. I couldn't help but smile when she said those three words.

I picked Phely up and rocked her gently. Her cries slowed down into little coos. "Did my sweet girl have a nightmare?" I whispered.

She snuggled her small body into my arms and chest. I couldn't help but hold onto my baby girl tighter.

Men are always dependent on women. For technology, businesd, economy, reproduction, etc. Yet they still think they can hurt women and that they will never be  enough.

That may be for other men but for me I need these two ladies. To think I ever even lived without them is surprising.

I walked to our bedroom with Phely asleep in my arms. Lilly was laying on our bed staring at the ceiling.

"You okay love?" I whispered. I got under the sheets with her.

"It's terrible how I can't sleep without you. Pathetic isn't it?" She turned her head to look at me as I let out a chuckle.
