Eleanor's mornings usually looked like this: Her alarm would ring at 9.30 am. No matter what day it is. She would turn it off and sleep in until 11 am. No matter what day it is. Then she would wake up, check her phone and by then she would get a list from Rachel that listed all the events and interviews she would have scheduled. Of course Eleanor hated going to most of those places, because the only one who would benefit from them is her mom and the monarchy. It doesn't do her any good, it never did. Since she has Jasper as her bodyguard, she would always look forward to those events, because it meant that they'd have some alone time. She couldn't talk to him in the palace that much, because Beck was around. Beck was that kind of guy who loves to mark his territory, which meant, that whenever a guy was around, whether it was her bodyguard or any other guy, he would show them that Her Royal Highness Eleanor Henstridge, was his girlfriend. Jasper seemed unfussed by this, he didn't seem to care, which also piqued Eleanor's interest. He didn't care about Beck and she loved it. He was the first guy who wouldn't back away from Beck. And damn, she loved it.
Today her alarm rang at exactly at 9.30 am, but this time she was already awake, laying in her bed with Jasper. After her confrontation with Jasper yesterday they spent the night together. They had sex, incredible one. He made her feel whole and she couldn't get enough of it. But they also talked. They talked about her life as a Royal, about his life as an ex-conman who now lives a rather quiet life. So now, at 9.30, they're in her bed. They're looking at each other, studying each other. He is stroking her cheek with so much passion and care, she felt like she was the most valuable thing in this whole wide world. They didn't talk about Beck, about her relationship. He didn't dare to ask what she will do and she didn't have an answer to it. He didn't want to pressure her into breaking up with someone and she didn't want to deal with the downfall that would result if she broke up with him. So, they're in bed, avoiding the most urgent topic, enjoying what they have, while they can. "I have to get dressed Eleanor, my shift starts in 5 minutes." He stood up and started getting into his suit. Eleanor just groaned. She couldn't deal with the outside world, with Beck. Jasper sensed her worries and walked towards her. "Eleanor, you don't have to do this. We can forget anything happened and go back to being bodyguard and Royal Highness." She was surprised by that suggestion. "Do you want that Jasper?", she asked reluctantly, hoping his answer would be a no. "Of course not, I've been waiting to be near you, with you, for so long, but if it was your wish, I would comply that wish." She couldn't answer to that. His words were pure honey to her soul. Soothing it. "Jasper…", she couldn't say anything. Instead she stood up and gave him a long, slow kiss. It was chaste but also passionate. "I'll talk to Beck. I want this Jasper, with you, not with him." "Okay my princess."
Beck stopped by 2 hours later. He was in his black leather jacket and jeans. When Jasper wore a leather jacket and jeans, she wouldn't stop staring at him. When Liam and Eleanor go out, because Robert doesn't go out, Jasper accompanies them as their bodyguard and friend by now, and he'd always wear a jacket, jeans, sometimes ripped, and a v-neck shirt, and damn him if he didn't look stunning. He always dressed up to the nines and Eleanor loves it. "Hello my dear." Eleanor was brought back to reality, by a kiss from Beck. She felt the familiarity in the kiss, but that was it. She wouldn't feel anything else. No spark, no love and no passion. Jasper made her feel all those things and she knew that those sparks would never fade between them. After kissing for what must've been an eternity, Beck pulls away, looking happy. It broke her heart to break up with him, it did, because she still cares about him, she always will, but she couldn't do this anymore, especially with someone there who could give her all she ever wanted. "We need to talk Beck.", she said, trying to sound as confident as possible. Jasper was there, in the other room, hearing everything, hoping deep down that Eleanor can do this and decides to be with him.
