Find Me Alastar

My eyes widen as I look over the water. A castle-a frigging real life castle. “Can we go and look?” I

grab Alastar’s hand. “Oh, please, can we go look?”

He picks up my hand and kisses the back of it. “We can.”

I bounce up and down in my seat in excitement. “Oh my God. Oh my God.”

“We are staying here tonight.” He smirks.

My eyes bulge. “What?” I shriek. “You can stay here?”

Alastar laughs out loud. “You can and we are.”

My mouth drops open and I grab him in an embrace. “This is my surprise? I love it.” My eyes fly back

to the castle over the water. Never have I seen anything so beautiful.

He laughs into my hair as I try to squeeze the life out of him while bouncing in my seat like a child. We

continue up the road to two huge stone gatekeeper houses on either side of a gigantic stone gate. It leads

over the water on a sort of moat kind of set up. My eyes stay glued to the castle in front of me. This is the

most magical place I have ever been to and I am totally lost for words. We drive up to the parking area.

Alastar parks the car and gets out while I stay seated in the car.

I am in awe. I don’t even… I can’t describe how perfect this is. He comes around and opens the door

for me, but I remain still, my eyes glued to the grand castle.

“Come on, out you get.” He smiles.

I inhale deeply. I love this fucking man. I jump out of the car and throw myself into his arms. “I love

this surprise.”

He smiles into my lips. “Aye, I can tell.”

“And I love you.”

He kisses me quickly. “Come.”

I clap my hands together in excitement. “This is my best day of…” I hesitate as I try to articulate my

words. “Forever,” I breathe.

steps as my eyes search the property in wonder. I stop on the bottom step and stare at the windows up

above on the many stories. I follow the line along until I get to the fifth window from the end and I stop

immediately. Goosebumps run down my arms and I get a vision of looking out the window to the pathway

in front of us. I frown and look back to the road behind us.

My face falls.

“What’s wrong?” Alastar frowns as he watches my face.

“Huh?” I am pulled from my thoughts. My imagination is getting the better of me.

“Nothing.” I shake my head embarrassed.

The doorman comes, retrieves our suitcases, and we head to the office.

“Booking for O’shea.” Alastar smiles.

“Yes, sir.” The receptionist starts to type on her computer.

I stand silent, my heart racing, rocked by the vision I just had. I was definitely looking out from that

window upstairs. It’s your imagination. It’s your imagination. It isn’t real. Stop it. I need to go and see

someone about this when we get home. This isn’t right.

“You okay?” Alastar smiles.

I nod nervously. “Yes, perfect, this is just…” I hesitate. “Perfectly overwhelming.”

He kisses me gently. “Yes.”

I look at the kind receptionist and I smile as my equilibrium returns.

“You are in the master suite-” She stands to show him the way.

“I know where it is.” He cuts her off.

“You have been here before?” She smiles.

“Many times.” He smiles kindly.

Huh? He’s been here before. Oh. That’s disappointing. I thought this was a special thing for just us.

He catches my face fall and smiles politely to the receptionist before he heads off to the left. “This

way, Emmaline,” he calls over his shoulder.

I follow him silently as he takes the second set of stairs from the grand foyer.

“What was that look for?” he asks.

“What look?”
