The New Queen

Chapter Nine

Sarah woke up the next morning, to sun shining on her face. Her head on Jareth's chest, his arms wrapped snuggly around her body, she thought it was all a dream, until she brought up her left hand to look at her ring finger and she smiled happily. Than sadness washed over her face, not because she didn't love Jareth because she did. She was hopelessly and completely in love with him. She thinks she always has been, but didn't realize it until years later. When she saw him again. Sarah is just not sure she would be a good queen; with her being human would they take her seriously, she notice Jareth was starting to wake up. He mumbled something she couldn't make out, she giggled at him. Than laid back down on his chest, listening to his heart beat and him breathing.

Jareth woke up, he squeezed Sarah close to his body, and kissed the top of her head. Sarah smiled, she never felt this way about anyone, and she couldn't believe someone loved her like this. It's the kind of love you only read about in fairy tales and romance novels, but his world was a fairy tale and now she is a part of it forever.

Sarah raised her head off of Jareth's chest and smiled a big smile at him.

"Good morning my love" he smiled at her his voice full of happiness

"Morning" she replied back in the same tone smiling

Jareth's hands were rubbing her back affectingly, he than bent down to kiss her on the lips, he pulled away sadly; she looked up at him worried.

"Is everything okay?" she asked with worry laced in her voice

"I'm fine" he replied calmly

"Jareth please don't lie to me" she said with sadness in her voice

"I was just thinking about, what would've happened if I lost you…"

Sarah looked at him sadly "you will not lose me"

"I almost did…" he turned away from her sadly; she put her hand on the side of his face, and turned his head to face her.

"But you didn't..." he was ready to reply when again she interrupted him "hey, I am here with you, we are going to be married, and have a family, I am going to be with you forever" she quickly got out. He was opening his mouth to say something, when Sarah put her hand on the back of his head, and brought his lips down to hers, kissing him passionately.
