Hey guys, what do you think so far? I know I keep asking the same things in these introduction things but hey! I suck at introductions sometimes! Much love RSD xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox.
"Lady Mal" I heard a voice say after me and Ben broke apart after our second dance together ended. I turned around and when my eyes landed on Evie I noticed that she was now curtsying to me.
"Evie" I said as she straightened up.
"You don't have to do that" I stated as she stepped in front of me.
"Technically she does" Ben advised.
"Really?" I asked incredulously as I threw a startled look at Ben. I really didn't want everyone to start curtsying me everywhere I went; I knew that when I married Ben that this would happen. But I didn't expect it now!
"Yes" he confirmed.
"Sorry Evie" I apologised.
"It's fine" she dismissed.
"Can I have a word M?" she asked.
"Sorry Ben" she apologised as she threw Ben an apologetic look.
"It's ok" he said before he pressed a kiss to my forehead.
"I expected you two would want girl talk at one point" he added happily.
"Just hurry back" he joked.
"Always" I said and me and Evie both giggled as she linked my arm and she led me away from Ben. I didn't know what Evie wanted to speak to me about; and part of me was starting to get worried. Me and Evie walked next to the barrier so we were a safe distance away so we could have a private conversation without being disturbed.
"So Lady of the Court" she said as she smiled at me.
"Yeah" I agreed as I was suddenly conscious of the weight of my tiara on my head.
"Evie please don't keep curtsying to me" I whined.
"I have to" she stated.
"Hmm" I purred.
"Well how about this?" I suggested.
"You only do it at things like this; not in private" I added.
"Deal" she laughed.
"Come here" she said before she pulled me into a hug.
"How are you feeling?" she asked over my shoulder which made me pull away from her.
"I feel fine now; I know I put you all at risk but I am glad that this happened" I admitted.
"Well-" I quickly amended.
"I'm not particularly happy that Uma is out there somewhere but I think me and Ben had to go through this" I advised and I looked over to see that Ben was now stood laughing with Jay and Carlos.
"To make us stronger" I added as I looked back at Evie.
"I agree" she smiled.
"But promise me something" she added as she took both of my hands in hers and she gave them a light squeeze.
"Anything" I promised.
"You don't hide your feelings like that Mal" She started.
"I didn't know what you were going through, everyone thought that you were fine" she continued.
"Why did you have to hide?" she wondered.
"I just didn't want to let you all down" I explained. This was the truth; I didn't want to let them all down. Since Ben's coronation my family seemed to slide straight into Auradon life and I didn't want to ruin things for them by me struggling. However now I knew different; if I was struggling in any aspect I knew to go to my family; and most of all Ben.
"I most definitely thought I wasn't good enough for Ben; that's why I didn't tell him that I loved him" I continued.
"Which is stupid really" I added as I looked down sadly to the floor.
"I've always loved him" I said as I pursed my lips together.
"And I will make sure he continues to know that I love him; every single day" I vowed as I looked back at Ben for a few seconds before I looked back at Evie; and when I did I noticed that she was smiling at me.
"What?" I asked innocently.
"I'm just noting the change in you that's all" she advised warmly.
"Good or bad?" I asked panic stricken.
"Good" she confirmed.
"You are more confident" she noted.
"I like it" she added.
"Erm thanks" I replied nervously.
"By the way-" she started obviously trying to take me away from my nervousness.
"I love the dress" she said as she stroked the front of it.
"Thank you" I laughed as I looked down at it.
"But don't worry; this is the only Mal original I will be doing" I teased.
"Evie 4 Hearts is safe" I said mock seriously before me and Evie started laughing.
"Good" she said.
"Let's get you back to Ben" she added.
"I think he wants you" she advised.
"How do you know?" I asked as I threw another look towards my perfect Beast.
"He keeps glancing over here" she confirmed.
"I see" I noted.
"Well I can't blame him really I am his one true love" I laughed and I grinned at Evie when I heard her giggle.
"Come on you" she laughed as she slid her hand into mine and we started to walk back towards our friends and family so we could continue to spend this special night together.
