Dinner was as normal delicious. They had the second best chef throughout France besides the King. At the table were seated Captain James at the head of the table, on his right were Jim and Tim. Across from James was Anne and on her left was Kim who was sitting next to Ron.
The maid, served the food which included chicken, fresh fruit and vegetables and wine. Ron was not use to eating high class. Let alone in such an elegant manor. When everyone was served, they began to eat, in silence. James began to conversant with Jim and Tim about all the weapons they use in battle. Then James turned his attention towards Kim.
"So Kimberly, how are you are my dear?" he asked.
"I am fine father. Why do you ask?"
"Because I've been gone so much lately, I'm beginning to miss my family to much." James answered, "Which is all the more reason to end this war and soon. Am I right Ronald?" he raised his glass towards Ron.
"Yes sir, indeed." Ron said raising his glass also.
"We all miss James terribly, but you are needed more somewhere else." said Anne.
"I know, dear." James answered, then the room grew silent.
"How long will you be here father?" asked Jim.
"Two weeks at the most. I report to the King tomorrow with the full report. Oh and by the way Kimberly, there is a fine gentleman I met at the palace. Lord Joshua is his name. I think it is time for you to find yourself a suitable husband."
"Lord Joshua? What's he like?" Kim said with concern.
"He has alot of money and is very popular with the royals." Kim's face fell. He's has alot of money and is popular with the royals? What about handsome or funny or kind?
"Excuse me, I'm in need for some air." said Kim as she stood up and strolled out of the dining room.
Outside on the balcony...
Kim stared out into the sunset. It was beautiful with its combining colors of red, pink and purple. She sighed taking it all in. It was the perfect romantic setting.
"Good evening Ms. Possible." a voice distracted her from her thoughts. She turned around and saw it was Ron. She smiled at his as he made his way towards her.
"Hello Ronald, you may call me Kim if you'd like."
"I think your father would like me to refer to you as Ms. Possible."
"Well, if I say it is alright, then you may call me Kim. It'll be our little secret." She whispered as she winked at him.
"Alright then, Kim." he smiled as he said her name. It was a beautiful name, "Enjoying the sunset I see."
"Yes. It's beautiful. It takes my breath away."
"Indeed, I too love sunsets." It grew quiet. But then, Kim broke the silence.
"So Ron, tell me about yourself." she turned and looked his way.
"Well, there's nothing really to tell. I was an orphan."
"Really?"
"Yes, but I am a lieutenant in the army."
"I know and a loyal one at that. My father really depends on you."
"I know. All France does as well." Ron looked over at Kim as she grew quiet. There was a look of melancholy in her beautiful green eyes, "Why so sad, Kim?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean why do you look so sad? Aren't you happy that your father is home?"
"I don't know. He's leaving in two weeks. I feel like one day...he won't ever come back. And he's always gone and I miss him terribly. What I want most is that one day when he comes back that maybe he'll stay for good."
"I'm sure your father knows how hard it is for you. And I'm sure that he misses you just as much as you miss him."
"I'm sure too." Kim said, smiling over at Ron who was smiling at her in return, "And also, I don't like that he's been gone most of my life and is already makes decisions on who I should marry."
"I think he means well Kim. He loves you and has your best interests at heart."
"Maybe your right. You know I never talked to anybody about any of this. I actually kind of makes me feel better. You're a good listner."
"Comes with the territory. I listen when your father gives me orders all the time." Kim bursted out laughing. Ron joined in and laughed too. She had a pretty smile.
"True." she giggled some more. After that she gazed into Ron's brown eyes. They gazed at each other until their was a little feeling of awkwardness.
"Well then, I guess I better get back to dinner."
"Of course, Kim. I must say it was a pleasure talking to you." He took her hand and he kissed it, "Kim."
"Why thank you, Ron." she blushed again then Ron turned towards the door and disapeared into the room. Kim was left with millions of thoughts running through her head. He's cute, funny and easy to talk to. She sighed.
Uh oh! looks like Kim and Ron are getting a little closer. Ooh la la! Please comment!!
