Mateo's POV
I placed my hand on Valerie's shoulder so she'd stop crying and also to stop making me feel bad but she pushed herself into my arms and hugged me tightly.
I found myself rubbing her hair with my hand. "It's been a long day, you should get some rest."
My little flower nodded, agreeing with me so I led her to her room as she held my hand tightly.
Her room was right across from mine and I told her so as I opened the door to her room.
My room was slightly larger than the room I gave her and when she set her eyes on it, I heard her gasping. "Mr Theodore?" She said as she brought her palms to cover her mouth because I could see that she was extremely mesmerized by what she saw.
That tingling sensation filled my stomach. I felt suddenly important and special. I felt good about myself to see her smile.
"This room is mine?" Her sparkling eyes gazed into mine and I smiled with a nod. "Can I go?"
