Naughty Neal

"Baby your all that I want when your lying hear in my arms, I'm finding it hard to believe we're in heaven" - DJ Sammy

Kel leaned against the window her fingers idling tapping at the sill. The heat was stifling and sultry but a gentle breeze still played gently through her hair and night gown as she stared wistfully into the distance imagining the clouds to be gallant knights.

She was awakened from her day dreams by the torrid of bird song flooding her senses.

"Oh no! I forgot I have my dress fitting today!" she thought her face a mask of shock and worry. She tugged her night gown off and replaced it with a green spring dress and ran quickly to the door hoping furiously the seamstress was still at there meeting point.

She threw back the door and was surprised to notice a single red rose lying on the mat in front of her door, the petals still fresh and open. She placed it underneath her nose, inhaling the sultry scent, a small smile playing across her lips.

"This must be from Roald", she thought, "oh how I hope it is"

She tucked the rose into the lapel of her dress and began to hurry down the corridor towards the seamstresses rooms not noticing the small white note lying forlornly on her mat.

­­­­­­

Neal swore softly under his breath as he watched Kel hurry off down the corridor. He'd watched in happiness as she found his rose and had tucked it into her lapel obviously smiling because she knew it was him who had given her the rose. But then to Neal's horror she hadn't noticed the note and had just walked off. What if she thought it was from Merric or Edmund? He had noticed them hanging around her every time she came into the lunch hall.

"She couldn't possibly think it was Roald could she?", he thought, "no surely not.. well just in case I might just have to put a little stop to any relationship forming there."

Kel slid gracefully around the corner her dress flying behind her as she ran into the seamstresses room.

"I'm so sorry mistress I slept in, I wasn't able to sleep last night I hope I haven't caused you any trouble, are you still able to fit me in?..."

Kel trailed off as she noticed the stony look the seamstress was giving her.

"Some of us, like myself, do not have the luxury of sleeping in so at your next fitting I expect you to be prompt, there are many other girls who would love me to make there dresses but I chose you because your mother and I were childhood friends.. do not disappoint me again."

Kel nodded quickly shame covering her face. However, a mischievous glint shone in her eye as she took in the older woman. Old Hag.

The seamstress introduced herself allowing Kel to call her Leana as she whipped out her measuring rope and pulled it around Kel waist, bust, shoulders, hips, legs and arms. Kel stared at a spot on the opposite her to stop laughing at the women complaints about how skinny young women were these days.

"Now what would you like your dress to look like?" she asked her eyes staring hard at Kel's body shape, "I think a nice navy blue dress would be good to bring out the blue in your hazel eyes, and maybe a low bust with tight sleeves and a flowing skirt…." Her voice trailed off as she began to note her mutterings on a slate near her.

She looked up in surprise to see Kel was still standing there.

"Well what are you looking at, you can go now I will see you a three days from now so you can try your dress on." (A/N: I can't remember when I said her presentation was to be but I have changed the date as of now )

Kel hurried out of the room laughter shaking her shoulders at the women's grumpiness. As she flew out of the door frame she hit a solid figure waiting patiently in the corridor. Strong arms caught her and she looked up to see Roald's concerned eyes staring down at her.

"Lady Keldry are you okay?", he said his voice deep and worried, " A servant told me I could find you here so I thought I would come and meet you…

Kel flushed as she felt his body press up against hers.

"I'm fine your highness I was just trying on my dress for my presentation."

Roald stared intently at her as if he was imagining what dress she would wear and how she would look. He interrupted the silence with a cough:

" Well I was wondering if you would care to join me in the mess room for lunch now?" he asked.

Kel's eyes lit up with joy and Roald took this for a yes so they began to stroll slowly towards the mess hall their hands occasionally bumping each others.

When they entered the mess hall a hushed silence fell as they walked towards their table. The girls stared enviously at Kel and the men stared enviously at Roald muttering comments about how the prince always got the most beautiful girls.

Neal stared at Roald his eyes never wavering from his attempting to stare him down but Roald just looked back at him confusedly though as if he didn't understand why Neal was staring at him. Neal quickly stood up and pulled a chair back for the approaching friends a smirk flitting playfully across his lips.

"Here your ladyship I saved a chair just for you, come sit near me… oh it seems Roald there is not any chairs left on the table for you, looks like you'll have to sit somewhere else, " Neal said a triumphant tone filling his voice.

Kel knew exactly what Neal was trying to do so she laughed merrily the perfect picture of a lady:

"Oh Neal that's so kind of you but I heard your knight master calling for you." She said her eyes wide and her face innocent.

Neal hurried off to go see Allana, his knight master. He asked her what she wanted and Allana just stared at him and gave him a funny look and continued to eat her meal. Good one Neal.

When Neal returned to the table his and the spare seat had been taken by Roald and Kel. He watched as Kel flirted with Roald her hand patting him playfully on the shoulder.

"Oh Kel you are very funny." Merric said hopefully from the other end of the table.

"Oh yes," Neal thought his face growing hot with embarrassment, "Kel you are extremely funny."
