She gave a firm nod. What else was she supposed to do? “Hey, some people feel attracted to the unnormal. And having a prince walk around campus is definitely nothing normal.” she said. “But hey, people like me are not attracted to anything, so you don’t need to fear anything from me.” she shrugged. “I’m Sarah. New to college and trying to get her life in some kind of order.” she said. “Not that I am succeding so far. But I’m working on it.”

Sarah stayed silent. She let his words sink in. he was a prince? Of France? since when was france a kingdom. There was a reason why she never had been good at history or any historical things. “Well, Shawn…” she said, trying to make his name sound normal. Which was. Shawn was a completely normal name. “The reason why I treated you normal was because I don’t know who you are and I just arrived here three days ago.” she pointed out. “You’re welcome, no problem at all. And Thank you for the coffee.” she said.

“Okay, who are you?” Sarah asked when she looked at the rather tall man in front of her. He looked charming, yes even attractive. But she was confused. It was her thrid day at college, she knew no one. And here she was, getting a free coffee from a man who was right in front of her. “And what did I do to deserve a free coffee on a rainy day like that?” she asked further, hesitating at first but finally taking the coffee from him. “and what would you want in return for that coffee? I’ve learned people do nothing like that only to be kind. They always want something in return.” she pointed out. 

Coming back outside, he greeted her with a bright smile. His arm wrapping around her shoulders, he made sure to keep her close to his body. When she then said she found the key to his house, he stopped in his tracks, his mouth dropped open but a hint of a smile in the corner of his lips. “You did what? And you found… Wow, I clearly underestimate you.” he said, shaking his head a little before continuing his walk to the car. “Okay, where else have you already been? Is it even worth showing you the town?” he asked with a soft chuckle. “You know, I don’t think it’s considered breaking in when you got a key, so…” he said, opening the car door for her to let her get in. He then placed his bags in the trunk and walked around to get into the drivers seat. “You simply visited my house and you had access to it. No need to get in trouble with the cops. And even then, I ould bail you out. My father was a cop and so is my brother. I have great connections there.” he said with a grin. “Shall we head home?”

Sam stayed silent about the information. It wasn’t like he knew where she was. He just remembered her talking about different places she liked to go, places she always hung out at. He wasn’t a stalker, and even if he hated his job, he took it serious. So he wouldn’t just look up her address. “What the hell? No!” he said, clearly annoyed she thought something like that. “What do you think I am? A creep?” he asked, his voice getting a tiny bit louder but quickly silencing it down before anyone else could hear them. “No.. I don’t have her address.” he stated then. He knew it was obvious that he really had no clue where to go first. “I just know I will find her. She told me she always goes for a breakfast near the Eiffel Tower on Sunday.” he pointed out. But who knew she would do it this time as well. Looking back at her, he was still shocked that she actually thought he would be a stalker like that. “You know, it’s really rude to assume things like that.” 

“There’s nothing more we could ask for.” Alan said with a little smile. It was perfect. everything was. And nothing seemed to come their way that could ruin this luck. If you would’ve asked him a couple years ago if he fell for this cute shy girl from the first second on, he would’ve said yes. If you would’ve told him the two have a future, he would be the future king, not to mention having a wonderful family, he would’ve probably laughed. This was better than any novel he had read, any love story he heard about. It was just better. Because it was his love story. “A puppy sounds lovely. Just one more thing to talk about. Would it be okay to have a dog running around the castle?” he asked. “And what kind of dog. I assume we can’t have  a really big one.” he pointed out. Alan knew he would take good care of the dog, help Declan wherever he could. 

Alan smiled at her words. He felt the same way. He just wanted to stay like this forever. But the mentioning of his old shabby apartment made him laugh. “You mean the horrible place over my bookshop. The night I invited you over for the first time and this place was just a mess?” he asked, still chuckling before looking down at her. “I miss that too.” he grinned, leaning his head against hers and just holding her in his arms. 

Isabella shrugged a little. She wasn’t sure if it was okay to have a puppy in the castle. Then again, it was going to be hers soon. Her father was gearing for her to make decisions. “I don’t see why not?” She questioned. “I will talk with my father about it. I am sure he would be okay with it if it’s for Declan.” She replied as she reached for his hand and held onto it. 

Sitting there and waiting for her answer seemed like a whole eternity to him. Yes, it actually had been maybe a minute but for someone who was just proposing to the love of his life, it felt a way longer. And he was so positive, so optimistic that Harley would say yes. She was the perfect match for him, just as he was for her. Josh was convinced about it. But as longer he was waiting, as more he started thinking that there was actually a reason why she hesitated. But who was he to take it very serious right away. He would try to make a light joke, lighten up the mood that seemed to drop more with each second. “Usually, you don’t take so long to say yes.” he chuckled softly but seriously, he started sweating now as well. He swallowed, his heart beating faster and faster as he waited for her answer. And suddenly, Harley tried to say something. Instead, she just got up and left for the bathroom. If that was morning sickness kicking in, it couldn’t be a badder moment. But he still tried to relax. Maybe it was really just that, not the fact that she didn’t want to marry him. Getting up and following her, he found the bathroom to be locked. That was the moment where he really started questioning it. 

“Harley, love,  why did you lock yourself in there?” he asked, still trying to smile but he knew what was to come. He just wasn’t ready to admit it. “Hey, please, open the door. Morning sickness is just the start of what else is to come.” he hoped it was just that. But he knew it wasn’t. “Or did you actually got sick of my horrible way or proposing to you?” he laughed a little. It was a nervous laugh.

Harley placed her back against the door, trying her best to control her breathing. She heard Josh on the outside, she could hear that there was a bit of hurt in his voice. He tried his best to keep positive outside that door, and it just broke her heart. Just she wasn’t ready. She wasn’t even ready to face Josh and tell him no. If she told him no was he going to leave her? That was the last thing she wanted. She wanted to be with him forever, she is in love with him. It is just her stupid ex fiance that ruined this for her, bringing these horrible memories back. All she could think about is what if her and Josh did get married and send out invitations? All these people showed up and then they decided to call it off? She couldn’t do this twice. 

Smiling when the dog walked off and over to his own little bed, he was able to move closer to Harley to finally wrap his arms around her. Looking over at Rex once more, he could see that this dog was planning something and whatever it was, he hoped he wouldn’t do it right away. “I think I can handle it. As long as I have you all for me now.” he grinned, leaning closer to place a kiss to her cheek. “Now, that is proper time between you and me.” he grinned, feeling more than happy. When she mentioned that he did like Rex, he only rolled his eyes. “Only because I accept him, doesn’t mean I automatically like him.” he pointed out, He lives here, so do I. That’s it.” he grinned. “Plus, we’re having a baby and as much as I’m looking forward to that, I do want to enjoy the time I have left with you before it is here. Nothing will be the same anymore.” he said. He was excited yes, also a little afraid. His first child, in a city he just had moved in with a woman he knew for a year. Sometimes it felt everything was going too fast but if it would be bad, would it feel so right then? Josh knew this was a sign. A sign that Harley was the woman he wanted to spend his life with. So why not making it offical?

“You know. Sometimes, I wondered if what happens here, happens too fast.” he started off, taking her hand and playing a little with her fingers. His eyes were focused on their hands while he continued. “But it just feels so right to be with you. I know it’s crazy but I am so in love with you, you probably have no idea what this is doing to me.” he grinned. Finally looking up into her eyes, he kinda knew how afraid she was of this. But Josh was sure that she was the one. And he didn’t want to let her go. “I’ve been thinking of this for a while and I actually got you something.” he said, letting go of her hand to slip into his pocket to get out the little ring he was carrying along with him for a month now. He held it up, enough for her to see when he stared into her eyes. “I love you, and I’m sure that you’re the one I want to spend the rest of my life with. You’re not like anyone else I’ve met before. You’re far better. And with this baby coming our way, I don’t think I could be even more happier. So please, would you give me the honour and be Mrs Branson?” he asked, a goofy smile on his lips. He was nervous but so in love. 

Harley grinned when Josh kissed her cheek. She was glad that she was going through this pregnancy with a loving boyfriend. She wouldn’t have want it any other way. Sure she was a nervous wreck, she was afraid she wasn’t going to be motherly towards this baby. Her personality was a lot different than most women. Of course there was that little bit inside of her that was dying to come out eventually.

The blonde stared at Rex for a moment until Josh started talking. As soon as he went on about his whole speech she felt her heart drop in her chest. She knew what this was, she had been through this once before. Her and Josh never talked about marriage, or even her past. She never wanted to go through it again. Marriage to her was just a ring and a piece of paper, and she honestly didn’t believe a paper should marry you. Her heart was just beating so fast. Would Josh leave her if she said no? She loved him too much, she didn’t want to lose him.

For Daniel it was the first time visiting the United States and with that, the beautiful California. He had heard that it was pretty hot there basically throughout the year so he was even more excited to relax at the beach, go on a sightseeing tour and whatever came to his mind. He was alone, not traveling with his family this time. No, before he would start getting proper educated in how to be a king (even if he was far away from that) he wanted some time off. And people in America barely knew anything about the royalties in France. Or at least he hoped so. Today turned out to be another exciting day. For the first time, he would go to some goat yoga session. He had heard it was quite popular here and he was curious to find out how it really was. Entering the room, followed by his bodyguard who was undercover as his friend, the two went over to their mats and sat down. Was it weird for a man to try out yoga? Maybe. But Daniel was open for so many things. Why not this?

Looking around the room, his gaze fell on some girl with red shining hair. She seemed quiet, not even daring to look into his direction. Why would she? He was just a normal man here. But he found himself drawn to her and nearly missed the moment where the tutor started talking and telling them to get into the first position.

Sophia was visiting her best friend Skylar out in California. Her friend was becoming more and more successful, and with a friend that was successful meant there was a lot of perks. They were at some fancy yoga studio that had sessions with goats about once a week. She heard about goat yoga, but never thought she would ever get to try it. Skylar was the one that brought it up, she attended the studio for normal sessions, and was always too scared to go by herself for the goat yoga.

So here Sophia was, sitting crossed leg on her mat just talking with her friend. The room had already about eight people in there, until finally two men walked in. One was attractive, but she wasn’t here to date. She as here to do her yoga and hang out with goats. Just then, the instructor came in and had them get in their first pose. Sophia quickly followed directions, and the instructor announced the goats will be coming in. “Oh gosh they are so cute!” She said to Skylar as a baby goat came prancing her way. “Hello!” She smiled as she gave the goat a little scratch. 

He needed to chuckle. It was cute that he wanted to do that for him when it was easy to just call someone who would clean the mess up for him. But he promised to stay grounded, to do this himself. “Alright, the roof it is then.” he grinned, going up witht he Irish lad. As soon as they were up there, he looked around. Fireworks were still flying in the air. Once again, he let out a little laugh but nodded. “Living in New York City will make you realise that this city is not familiar to sleep.” he grinned. “But it’s nice, though. Whenever you feel lonely, you know here is always a place for you to be. And there are some quite nice places.” he said. Alec walked towards the edge, sitting down at it. “And New York is so beautiful.” he said with a little sigh.

He then looked at Shane. “Tell me, is Ireland as beautiful as this?”

He smiled at him when he got her jacket, the two left and went out in the streets of New York City. Walking next to him, she really had no clue what to say to him or what to talk about. That’s when she was happy when he suddenly asked her something. Her favourite movie. Oh, that was an easy question. “Okay, first, it’s mean to just name one right now. But I guess, two would make it fine.” she said. “I would say Pretty Woman and Dirty Dancing.” she grinned, looking over at him. “Those movies not only taught me to believe in romantic but I also found my love for dancing.” she said. “What about you? What do you consider your favourite movie. And what got you into it?” she asked him, sounding a way too excited to get to know him. 

Sam tried to follow her but all she earned from him was a groan. “This doesn’t make sense at all.” he spoke. “And you’re using the word dramatic a way to much in one sentence.” he said, shaking his head. But he couldn’t help but to smile a little then. Somehow, she was okay. She was not afraid to talk back at him. She definitely isn’t that shy as she appeared in the beginning when he met her. “Thank you for sharing your gummy bears with me.” he said, a bit more quieter. He didn’t want anyone to hear it, for no certain reason. And he decided it was time to stop any conversation between them. even if it wasn’t exactly what he wanted. Leaning back and going through the emergency routine, he was ready to get some sleep. He would be awfully jetlagged when he would arrive in Paris. But he heard Kaylie’s voice speak up again. And that’s when he turned his head. 

“Well, sure.. I mean, there’s not much to plan. I will just show up and say hello. And tell her what I feel for her.” he shrugged. What else was he supposed to do?

“No, definitely not.” she chuckled, but still feeling the pain in her foot. She was surprised to hear that he wanted to let her stay at the castle. Would his parents be okay with it? Or his grandparents who still owned the castle after all? She didn’t want to bother anyone, after all she was just a rising star at the music sky. “Are you sure it’s okay for me to stay here? I don’t want to do any work for the staff that is probably working all day.” she spoke but right in that moment, she got picked up bridal style and it made her heart race faster. She couldn’t hide the blush that was coming across her cheeks. After all, she was a girl that got impressed by every man that could lift her up so easily. He was nearly a decade younger and yet he was so strong, so attractive, so charming. Yes, she even forgot about the pain in her foot. She knew she was heavy and it was completely okay for him to take breaks on their way to the guest room. When they finally arrived there, Charles made sure to place her down carefully and she smiled at him. “Thank you.” she said. 

She shook her head. She wouldn’t need anything. Just help so she could get out of the dress. And she wondered if this feeling of being so attratced to the other was mutual. “Actually, if it’s okay, I would like you to stay. At least for a while longer.” she suggested, hoping she wouldn’t sound too much like a fool. “Only if you want of course.” she smiled. 

Charles was about to leave until she asked for him to stay a little while longer. He felt his heart beat faster in his chest, giving her a small nod. “I will go get you an ice pack and I will keep you some company.” He smiled before leaving for a moment to run down and let the maids know that there was going to be a guest staying. He then grabbed an ice pack and a towel along with a glass of water and walked back up to the room. He then knocked on the door a couple of times before making an entrance. “I brought you some water.” He said holding up the glass a little before placing it on the nightstand and then placed the ice onto her ankle. “This should make your ankle feel a bit better.” He said. “You need to be better before your concert.” He smiled and then walked over to the chair that was on near the window to sit down.

Masika continued to stay silent. And she was looking up at the waitress. It seemed like she started sweating at some point, not stopping to put cheese on her food. That was until the bag was empty and she had to leave to get new one. She didn’t say aynthing, she just smiled before she left. As soon as she was out of sight, she couldn’t help but to laugh loudly, causing a few people to look at them. “I’m sorry you didn’t get any cheese but I don’t think I’m able to share some of mine.” she shrugged. But then, she grinned and gave in. “But because you’re my boyfriend, I think that’s what I need to do for you. Your girlfriend is sharing cheese with you.” she spoke. “But we wait the two minutes.”

“Definitely not.” Josh agreed with her. Besides, he never wanted her to see him throw up except he was sick or maybe a little too drunk. Those were maybe the only excuses to see someone throw up. Everything else was just embarrassing. “Yeah, we should do that. I always liked to see that in movies. It’s romantic and we can sit closely to each other. How can you not like that?” he questioned with a ittle laugh. But he also wondered. If she had never seen a movie like that how comes that she knew scenes like that. 

Josh grabbed for her hand and got up on is feet, giving her a small nod. “I’m gonna be outside in a couple minutes.” he would only threw on some other clothes, pack his things and the two could head home. There they could get changed into some much more warmer clothes before actually going for that Sleigh Ride through Minnesota. Luckily, Josh had some connections so this woul dbe easy to set up. One call after she was gone and everything was ready for them. 

Standing still and trying to keep her breath low, Maggy had to admit that she was more than nervous. Her heart was racing and he was right with every word he said. She had feelings for him, god she was stupid if not. He was great. Funny, smart and well, her boss. That was a fact that made everything even more interesting for her. But no, he knew what was going on and Maggy would be smart too. She knew he was playing a little game with her, and sure, the moment he came closer made her a little nervous for what was maybe to come. 

She let out a huff, suddenly feeling more confident again as she walked over to a different table and continue cleaning that. “Nonesense. If you would really know a woman, you would tell if she puts up an act or not. And if she’s playing with your heart.” she told him with a little smirk. “Every womanc an do this. It’s not hard to seduce men like you.”

Alan already laid in bed when he heard Isabella come inside their bedroom. He put his book aside, giving her smile when she laid down beside him. “I’m glad he is. He found the hang of the royalty quite well, don’t you think so?” Remembering that it took him much longer to get used to everything. But for a little boy, everything was exciting and impressive. That’s why it was a lot easier. “I have to say you’re doing a perfect job as mother. Not that I am surprised about it.” he said with a soft smile. That’s what he wanted. He wanted this with her. A family, a life together. And it all seemed like a dream. He gazed into her eyes and he could see in them how happy she was. She derserved all this. She knew her story, it wasn’t always easy for her but somehow, as long as they were together, everything seemed so easy for them. 

“I love seeing you that happy. It really suits you, my dear.” he said, his hand reaching up to let it cup her cheek. His thumb softly running over it. “I think I haven’t seen you that happy before in my life. It must be the happiness of a mother that makes you shine even more.” he said with a little grin. “Don’t ever lay that down. I mean it. The world would miss her sunshine.”

Isabella pulled the covers up over her body and closed her eyes just feeling his touch. “I have the perfect husband, and a perfect child. I don’t know what else can make me even more happy. “Maybe a puppy?” She teasingly asked. “I know Declan would love a puppy. He keeps talking about one and carries that stuffed dog around all the time.” Now at the thought she was leaning towards getting a puppy for Declan, but she did know that having a puppy is a lot of responsibility as well, and she didn’t want the puppy to be taken care of by the staff. There wouldn’t be a relationship then.
