Princess. Rosie. Poised. Rosie. Perfect. Rosie.

Carter lay on her bed deep in thought. She stared at the ceiling as her mind wandered off. Behind her eyes she could see images of a beautiful girl with pale skin adorned by freckles; rosy lips and flowing brown locks that framed her face. She smiled nostalgically with thoughts of the girl's hair covered in copious amounts of frozen yogurt. Her eyes drifted towards the right side of her bedroom. Her smile grew in size when she spotted Rosie peacefully sleeping.

It had been nearly a month since Rosie had returned to Louisiana from her hometown of Costa Luna. Her mother, Sofia, had agreed albeit reluctantly to let her spend several months with Carter as a vacation. It had taken plenty of time getting on her good side for the girls to eventually convince her.

Carter sat in bed groaning while her muscles burned as she stretched what little drowsiness she had away. She looked Rosie's way again and smiled when she heard the girl mumbling in her sleep. It wasn't anything coherent, but Carter's chest filled with warmth at the adorableness of it.

She walked over to her sleeping friend slowly to ensure that she wasn't having a nightmare.

She sat down gently beside Rosie and observed the girl's face. There was no sign of distress; usually Rosie's forehead would wrinkle and her chin would quiver when she was having a nightmare. Carter was glad to see that her friend was sleeping peacefully. She brushed the girl's hair lightly behind her ear in attempts to see her face better.

Carter sighed deeply and bit her lip sadly. Is this all we'll ever be? She wondered to herself as she looked at her friend lovingly. She rolled her eyes and mocked herself because of how 'cliché' their situation was. And in reality it was slightly cliché, because Carter was so in love with Rosie, her fear blinded her to the fact that her best friend was in fact in love with her in return. She believed there was no way that a royal princess could ever develop feelings for someone who sold bait with her father for a living. It wasn't that she believed Rosie was shallow enough to fall for someone's social status as opposed to their personality, but the fact that Carter herself didn't see herself worthy of such feelings from Rosie.

"Holy shit!" Carter was startled by sparking brown eyes looking back at her. She bounced off the bed in a hurry and stood by the bed with wide eyes. She could feel her cheeks heat up with embarrassment; she hadn't meant for Rosie to catch her staring at her.

"You really must do something about your foul language, Carter." Rosie teased the blushing girl with a grin. "I didn't mean to startle you." Carter shrugged sheepishly and held her breath when she felt her friends arms wrapped around her in a tight hug. "Are you having trouble sleeping?" Rosie asked concerned.

"I-I no, I'm not having trouble sleeping." Carter stumbled with her words as she scratched her head nervously. Rosie pulled away from their long embrace and smiled, happy to know that her friend was okay.

"Are you sure?" Rosie asked for reassurance. Carter nodded and pointed towards her mouth as she grinned to show the girl that she was in fact fine.

"Yeah, positive." Carter replied. She hoped internally that her friend wasn't questioning her reasoning for sitting by her instead of being in bed. Unbeknownst to Carter, Rosie was busy scheming. She was very calculated when it came to getting her way and at the moment she wanted to sleep beside Carter. If only to make her feel better; she told herself.

"Well then, it seems that I'm not able to sleep." Rosie said.

"I'm sorry, Rosie. I suck." She said softly. Rosie scoffed and placed a gentle hand on Carter's cheek. Once she had the taller girl's attention she shook her head.

"You don't suck. That was simply my way of suggesting my best friend sleep with me tonight." Carter nodded and gulped when her mind drifted to fantasies of Rosie in bed with her. She scolded herself for thinking so crudely. "Well?" Rosie asked expectantly.

"You know I can't deny you anything, Princess." Carter said with a smile. Rosie lowered her head slightly at hearing the term of endearment. Yes, many people called her 'Princess', but it was only when Carter referred to her in such a way, that her heart did somersaults and she felt those metaphorical butterflies in her stomach.

Both girls turned around to face Rosie's bed. Rosie motioned Carter to lay down first. She didn't hesitate in complying; she really didn't know how to deny her anything. Rosie smiled and crawled onto the small bed beside her best friend. She rested her head on Carter's chest as their legs tangled on their own accord. Rosie sighed contently while draping her arm around Carter's slim waist. Carter breathed in deeply and placed a gentle kiss to her friend's head.

"Goodnight Rosie." Carter whispered.

"Goodnight Carter." Rosie replied; her smile was so big it hurt.

Carter smiled when she felt her friend's smile against her chest. It warmed her to know that Rosie was happy with her; even if just as friends. She much preferred being her friend than nothing at all and that was one of the main reasons she never opened herself up about her feelings; that and the fact that Rosie lived in Costa Luna. Carter really believed that a 'bait girl' had nothing no place being with a Princess soon to become Queen.

Carter reached for Rosie's hand and gently rubbed her palm before intertwining their fingers. She smiled when she felt Rosie snuggle closer to her and her warm breath against her neck. Carter lay silently as she soaked in the wonderful feeling while goose bumps crawled all over her skin. It wouldn't be long before the girl was finally able to reach her state of drowsiness again. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard low mumbles from her friend. Carter looked down worriedly and waited a moment in attempts to hear what she was saying.

"Abrazame fuerte." Carter blinked several times as she tried to decipher what Rosie had just said. She was positive that it wasn't English so she assumed it was Rosie's native tongue, Spanish. She looked around her room as she thought about her Spanish classes at school, but nothing seemed to ring a bell. She felt the urge to wake the girl and ask her what she'd meant with those words, but Rosie looked too peaceful; it seemed mean to wake her because of her curiousness. Carter sighed and closed her eyes again as she attempted to sleep. She would ask the girl in the morning. And so she pulled the girl in her arms closer and held her tight; it's all she ever wants to do anyway.

Rosie blinked as she woke up from the best sleep she'd had in a while. She rubbed her eyes as she attempted to stand up. She felt strong arms holding her back. Carter was sound asleep with her arms still wrapped tightly around the girl. Rosie smiled and gently maneuvered her way out of the horizontal bear hug. Carter grumbled lowly and Rosie's smile widened. She glanced over to the alarm clock beside her bed and saw that it was half past eleven. Carter had mentioned needing to wake up at nine; they had clearly overslept, so Rosie decided that she'd wake her friend up.

She raised her hand to her friend's hair and revealed her face. Rosie bit her lip as she observed the way her hair fell back into place like a curtain and covered her chocolate covered eyes that were closed almost carelessly, she looked so relaxed. Rosie's heart skipped a beat as she slowly traced the contours of Carter's face with her fingertips. She leaned forward hesitantly and placed a small kiss on the girls' nose as she lingered longer than friends were supposed to. Carter stirred slightly as she stretched. Rosie exhaled a breath of relief. What would she think of me kissing her nose while she sleeps?

"Carter, wake up." Rosie decided she'd go with a direct approach to waking the girl, but it was no good. Carter lay there listlessly as she rested. Rosie smiled and placed a small kiss to the girl's ear as she whispered wake up again; still no response from the taller girl.

Rosie decided to wait another ten minutes before attempting to wake her friend again. As she lay there in bed, she thought of many things while her eyes wandered. She thought about things like her country Costa Luna, her soon to be title as Queen, her mother, but most of all, Rosie worried about how everyone would react to having a homosexual leader. Had Rosie's father still been alive, she'd have felt more at ease with the idea, but that wasn't the case. Rosie feared what her mother was capable of doing; she had made it known more than once that she disapproved of my 'homosexual tendencies' as she so graciously put it. Somehow Rosie's thought's always ended up in the same place. They ended up with her best friend Carter.

She sighed deeply as she stole a glance at Carter. She didn't understand how people could believe that her feelings for such an amazing person would just disappear. She couldn't begin to comprehend why they'd think it was just a silly infatuation; teenage drama and rebellion. Rosie shook her head disapprovingly and continued to look at Carter. She subconsciously licked her lips as her eyes landed on Carter's perfectly shaped lips; Those luscious lips that just made her want to fucking... Rosie stopped her train of thought as it wasn't adequate princess behavior to fantasize with your best friend's lips, no matter how pink and taunting they may be. Rosie chuckled softly as she stopped her mind from drifting yet again. She was being silly, she told herself. What was even sillier was the idea that she had in that moment. Carter seemed to be a deep enough sleeper for Rosie to pull it off. Rosie nodded as she thought of ways to deny anything if Carter were to wake up; she could just chalk it up to the girl dreaming if all came to worse.

Rosie braced herself with a deep breath and propped herself up on an elbow. She caressed Carter's face sweetly as her heart raced and nervousness washed over her. However, she wasn't deterred. If anything, that bubbly feeling in the pit of her stomach and the goose bumps on her skin served as encouragement. Rosie licked her lips one more time as she shimmied closer to her friend and her lips hovered over Carter's. She could feel the air grow tense and thick with anticipation as she pressed her lips firmly against the taller girls'.

Carter breathed in deeply the moment she felt a pressure against her lips. I am dreaming? She asked herself the question several times more as she felt what would appear to be someone's warm breath blow softly on her lips as they pulled away. Rosie licked her lips as she separated herself from Carter's sweet lips. She couldn't believe what she'd just done. Could she be any creepier? That was Rosie's final thought before her eyes widened in shock at the mention of her name.

"Rosie?"
