A\N: Thank you to everyone who reviewed the first chapter. I forget to previously mention that this story is set in the 21st century and it's been 20 years since the curse. I am so sorry updates are taking so long, college is driving me crazy at the minutes, so updates will be rare until July. At the end will be a preview of chapter 3, so enjoy!
Palace ball,
A couple of hours, the ball was in full swing. I had danced with a bunch of guys, every single one of them wanted to dance with me because I am a princess, not because they like me for me. I spotted Chip and my best friend Leah standing to one side and was about to walk over to them when a hand tapped me on the shoulder.
I spun around to see a guy standing there in a tux. His brown eyes sparkled and his hair stuck up all over the place.
"Can I help you?" I asked smiling.
"Would you care to dance?" he asked.
"Of course," I said as he wrapped his arms around me and we began to slow move to the music aware that everyone was looking at us.
"They look happy," Belle said to the Beast who was looking at the boy dancing with his daughter.
"They do," he said agreeing with Belle. This was probably the most happiest he'd seen his daughter in ages.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"Chase," he said with a smile.
"Nora," I said returning his smile.
The song slowly came to an end and Chase released me.
"Nice to meet you princess," the guy said walking off
"You too," I said staring at how hot he was before walking over to Leah and Chip.
"Hey guys," I greeted.
"Who was that?" Leah asked eyeing the direction Chase had gone off in.
"He's called Chase, he was ok," I said thinking about how safe I felt in his arms.
"Nora! He's major babe material! Why do you hate romance so much? Look at your parents, they are so much in love," she said indicating at my mom and dad who were staring into each other's eyes while dancing.
"I am independent Leah, I do not need a guy in my life, not now, not ever," I snapped.
"Come on, let's get out of here," Chip said placing an arm around both mine and Leah's shoulders and leading us out of there.
A\N: Ok, I know that chapter was short, but I'm working on it. Here is a preview of chapter three.
"Nora, I'd like you to meet Chase West, he will be staying with us why we figure out who will be getting the kingdom out of you both," the beast said.
"Hello Nora," Chase said with the same smile from the night before.
I stared in shock. I couldn't believe the same guy I dreamt about last night was the person who was trying to steal my kingdom.
A\N: So, Chase and Nora are both heirs to the Kingdom. Who will get it? Is there romance brewing between them both? Hit the review button for the next chapter.
