Chapter 1: I'm Home
Carter's POV
It feels good to know that you're going back home. Back to a family that loves you and cares about you. Working with The Princess Protection Program takes most of my time. After dad retired, I became the new Major Mason there and I have more than just that job. I occasionally work for the Costa Luna Air Force, which means I can fly planes and helicopters, which is an experience that came in handy when Queen Rosalinda or Rosie as I like to call her, was on her way to give birth to our daughter Hazel. And trust me when I say that a helicopter is way faster than a limo. And another job, which is the Head of security, in other words, Rosie's personal bodyguard and the person in charge of all security. Oh, happy day.
Yes, me and Rosie are happily married for 5 years and we have a 4 year old daughter. YAY! But one thing I will never forget… the day Rosie broke my hand, squeezing it while giving birth… hahaha…. Those good old days.
I finally reached the airport "Requesting permission for landing" I say to the guys in the tower. "Permission granted… and welcome back Captain Mason" he said and I smiled. It was good to be known around here.
I landed my plane and got down and then I went to inside the airport. I told them not to inform Rosie about my presence, I wanted to surprise her. I just came back from India and I got a whole crate of Indian Mangoes… The best in the world or at least that's what I'm told. Rosie loves fruits and she's all about eating healthy and stuff cause after getting pregnant, she just had to get in shape. I don't know why though, she looked hot and sexy to me…
It's still 4:00 A.M which meant that Rosie was still asleep. I called Henry who was our driver in the palace and he came over with my white BMW, a gift that Rosie bought me when I turned 22, she's the sweetest.
Henry arrived and I decided to drive. I took him to his home which was near the airport and told him to take the day off. Then I drove to the palace and entered to find that Alejandro, our head butler was already waiting for me. He is the sweetest 55 year old man ever.
"Ah… welcome back Mrs. Mason… How was your journey to India?" he asked.
"It was good Alejandro, I brought a crate of Indian Mangoes. Get it into the kitchen for me will you. And I'll handle the rest." I told him as I went upstairs, eager to see my lovely and gorgeous wife. But before that, I entered my daughter's room. She was sleeping like and angel. I crept out and went to my own bedroom and I entered quietly, making sure not to wake the sleeping beauty.
She was still sleeping; her back faced me so I turned around to see her face. I was shocked by what I saw… dry trails of tears on her cheeks and the picture taken on our honeymoon in Hawaii was in her hand. She's been crying and I don't blame her. I've been gone for 2 months and a half and if she ever goes for that long, I'd probably be crying too.
I walked to the other side of the bed and slid under the covers beside her.
I wrapped my arm around her waist and buried my face in her hair. Mmmmm…. It smelt like vanilla as usual. I stayed there and just inhaled the scent of her hair until she spoke.
"Hazel, honey… not now… mommy needs her sleep…" she said as I giggled.
"but mommy… let's play" I said trying to imitate my 4 year old daughter's voice and hoping that Rosie was too sleepy to notice.
"No, honey… not now…" she replied, still sleepy.
"But whyyyyyyyy?" I whined and then I remembered that Hazel doesn't whine, cause Rosie taught her that it's not appropriate. Hopefully she didn't notice…
"mmmm… why?... ask your mommy Carter, why?... she's never around and I've got work to do later, honey… I'll play with you after I finish my work, okay" she said, slightly awake now but still not sober enough.
"Heeeey! I'm not 'never' around… I'm around… it's just this once… then I promise that I'll always be here whenever you need me" I say defending myself.
She turned around with a shocked look on her face. "Hi honey" I say with a grin on my face.
She just looked at me for a second then she threw her arms around my neck and kissed me. I licked her bottom lip, asking for an entrance which she quickly granted and soon enough our tongues we're battling each other, but the lack of air caused us to pull apart.
"I missed you" she says as she started kissing my neck and when she found my pulse, she began sucking on it and I threw my head back and let out a little moan.
"well… someone is excited today" I say as she stopped and looked at me.
"You have been gone for two months… how wouldn't I be excited and my wife just showed up in my bed" she said as a smirk crept upon her face. She gained an American accent fast. But she still talks in her princess way when she's around important business people and ambassadors and what not's.
I smiled back then suddenly I heard the door open and I saw a little girl running towards me. "mommy… MOMMY" she screamed as she leaped into my arms. "Hi there pal" I said, as she kissed me on the cheek.
I kissed her on the forehead then put her down. "How about you go get ready so we can have breakfast" I said then she stormed out of the room excitedly.
"I'm so excited that you decided to surprise me… especially on our anniversary" she said and I just stood there shocked. Oh, crap… crap, crap, crap…. I totally forgot about our anniversary.
"uh… yeah… yeah, that's what I did… yeah… our anniversary" I said, trying hard to hide the fact that I forgot… again. But apparently I'm a bad actress because her hands were crossed on her chest and she was tapping her foot. She does that when she's angry. And by the looks on her face, she's fumed.
"You forgot again, didn't you?" she asked firmly. And I just nodded. "I'm sorry… I've been so busy and… I'm sorry…" I try to explain but she shakes her head and walks away.
I'm so stupid… how could I forget… and for the 6th time too. I am the worst wife ever. I get so caught up in my missions that I forget my own wedding anniversary.
A few minutes later, I go down to the gardens where we usually have our breakfast. As always, there is a table set under the shade of the biggest oak tree I've ever seen and the place was pretty close to the kitchen so it was a perfect place for breakfast.
Rosie always said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and that it should be enjoyable. That's why Rosie decided to eat breakfast outside, cause the cold air can refresh the mind and stuff like that.
I reached the table just to see that my chair was moved to the other end of the table… what the hell… she must be really angry…
Usually, Rosie would sit at the end of the table then Hazel would be at her left and me at her right, but this time, she put me on the other end of the table, far away from her.
The silence was killing me, but I had no right to speak. Thankfully… my daughter broke the silence.
"Mommy… why is mommy Carter sitting on the other side of the table?" she asked Rosie.
Rosie smiled at her then glared at me. "well, honey… it's because your mommy Carter forgot that today was a very important and special day to us". Hazel just nodded then looked at me and with her fingers she gestured a 'shame on you' .
I just smiled… Why the hell did I teach her that?...
Breakfast finished and Rosie left for her meetings and to handle other country business. And Hazel went to attend her princess classes which were only for 4 hours then I could spend time with her.
I sat in the living room, watching T.V and I came across and Interview which was recently made with Rosie a couple of days ago.
"Hi… I'm Alexandra James and I am here today with Queen Rosalinda Marie Montoya Fiore – Mason" The interviewer said as she walked over to my wife.
"Hi… I'm Alexandra James and I'm so glad to finally meet you" she said as she took Rosie's hand and kissed it. At this point I was furious, but I guess that's what interviewers do, right?
"It's nice to meet you too, Alexandra" Rosie responded.
"The pleasure is all mine… so…" Alexandra started asking Rosie about Costa Luna and how is it like to be a young queen and more stuff like that which wasn't interesting at all. But I started focusing when Alexandra asked a question that interested me. "And how is your marriage life lately?" she asked.
I saw the look on Rosie's face. She seemed confused about what to answer but she did anyway. "Well… it's not bad"
"What do you mean by not bad? Are there a few bumps on the road for you and you wife?" she asked as I was getting more anxious to hear what Rosie said.
"There are a few bumps on the road of our marriage, and we are going to go through it and pass it together" Rosie said and put on a fake smile.
"That is so true… but here's THE question… where is Carter Mason? We don't see her much these days and when we do see her, she'll just be here for a week and then disappear again." Alexandra asked as I screamed at her through the T.V "WELL IF YOU MUST KNOW… I WAS WORKING!" I say but then I shut up to hear what Rosie said.
"Carter is currently saving a princess somewhere on the planet… she comes back for two weeks or so then she leaves for quite some time… I know that most of you are wondering… why keep up with this… she is always gone… then why don't you divorce her?" Rosie said the word divorce and my heart just fell to my stomach but I continue to listen to what she is saying "The answer is simple… I love her so much… that I cannot stand not having her around me … yes, she might not be around all the time but she always finds a way to come back" she continued as tears fell from her eyes.
"But don't you deserve someone better?... Someone who will always be there when you need them?" Alexandra asked.
"Carter is always there when I need her… she is my whole heart and I can never leave her for anyone else" she said and the tears started forming in my eyes. She deserves someone better.
I snap out of my focusing mode to see that Hazel is standing beside me. "I don't like her" she said pointing at Alexandra.
I looked at her, confused then I picked her up and sat her on my lap. "oh, sweetie. Why don't you like her? She looks like a nice person" I said to my daughter, noticing that she already has a few tears flowing down her face. I get worried and I look in her eyes with a reassuring smile "Honey, what's wrong? Did something happen while mommy Carter was gone?" I ask her and she nodded.
"Tell me… what happened" I tell her in a soft tone but she shakes her head and keeps on crying.
"Hazel… you can tell me anything… I'm here for you" I say as I turn her to face me. She nods then looks at me "But promise me that you won't get mad at mommy if I tell you".
I look at her with a smile. "I promise, pal. Now tell me… what happened?" I say as she pulled me closer so she can whisper in my ear.
After hearing what she said… I just looked shocked that I couldn't move anymore. She told me what happened then she buried her face in my t-shirt and sobbed. I rocked her gently to calm her down.
I just can't believe it. Rosie would never…
I hope that it wasn't too boring. It will have Adventure in chapters to come... =D
