It took several days but we eventually reached the king. We neared the castle and rode swiftly every step. We got nearer, slowed and jumped off of our horses. We gave them to a stable boy who took them and we ran forth to the keep. There the king sat on his throne of gold. He wasn't as I'd expected and yet he was somewhat familiar to me.
'Who are you? And what is it you want?'
'King Gilbert, your highness, this is Lady Wendy and I am Lord David. We came to tell you of the invasion in the South'
'What invasion?'
'The French your highness'
'The French! Invading! Jim! Send out troops led by Nick, Warrick and yourself'
'Yes, your highness'
'Thank you Jim. You two; with me!'
'Yes your highness'
We didn't know what is it was that the king wanted to talk with us about. But by my reckoning it would not be good. He led us to a room which was furnished with a bed lined with red and gold, a dresser, a chair, and a wardrobe.
'You may stay here. You cannot return to your town'
'We understand'
'Wait…you are not wed?'
'No your highness, I have been asked many a time but my father had denied every offer. He was waiting for someone suitable'
'I understand, how old are you?'
'But twenty-three'
'But twenty-three and still unwed? I do not believe it! You are the only woman I have met of your age unwed! Are you not looking for a suitor?'
'I am, and my father's dying wish was that I wed and his dying words were he gives his blessing to anyone I wed'
He nodded in understanding and left the room. I looked to the floor in embarrassment of the topic just discussed. I sighed a deep breath and a lock of my hair came loose tugging at my eyelashes. I ignored it and blinked. David took a step towards me and tucked the lock behind my ear causing me to look up at him. His eyes flickered between mine and my lips. Mine flickered betwixt his gorgeous eyes and his glorified lips. They parted slightly and his hand griped my chin. We leaned in and our lips connected causing a spark of electric through my body. I loved it.
Computer is preparing to hibernate
'NO!' I shouted at it.
The screen went black.
'NO!' I screeched
There was a knock at the door and Cathrine came in.
'Are you ok?'
'The computer turned off just as she was kissing David!'
She let out a giggle.
'It's not funny!'
'So is! Hey Sara; get in here!'
Sara came in blurry-eyed. She looked half asleep.
'What is it?' she yawned
'You know Wendy does that Hero Quest thing'
'Yeah'
'Her character kissed another one and the computer shut down' she laughed
'It's not funny'
'Oh my god; I want details!' Sara said now fully awake
Cathrine and I laughed at her sudden change.
'Ok, so the two of us were with the king, he showed us to a room and talked to us and then he left me and this other guy in the room and my character got embarrassed cause the king asked her why she wasn't married and David kind of kissed her…' I said smiling like I was in a daydream
'…Then the screen went blank' Cathrine added bringing me back to reality.
'Yes thank you! Thanks for the reminder!'
'Welcome'
We had been crashing at mine since Sara was in an argument with Grissom and Cathrine's house was flooding and no-one else had offered to take them in. So we had decided on a "girly sleepover".
