Hey guys! Sorry about the wait :$ I had a rough couple weeks. On the bright side, March Break next week!
Anyways, I need books to read. Preferably one's that i could then proceed to write fan fiction about, ideas?
This idea is from the lovely NinjaBallerinaAndProud I thank you!
Disclaimer: This is Ally Carter's lovely idea.
"And I'll keep you a daydream away, just watch from a safe place, so I never have to lose."
Daydream Away – All Time Low
Third Person
A month passed in a hurry with not much occurring. Mr. Goode and Princess Cameron often visited their shared passageway. However, it was rare for both of them to meet at once. When they did their conversations revolved around little things. The Princess spent most of her time coming up with a plan, one that would make her worthy of being the Princess of Gallagher. She had promised herself that she would earn her position of Queen. Few believed this was likely.
Cammie POV
Liz and Bex had been sent off to town by Aunt Abby seeing as how my coronation was in a matter of two months and preparations needed to be made. It was I who had told her to send the two of them. Oh, how I regret that decision now. I stand in my chamber's closet with my dress partially on attempting to tie my corset myself. Most ladies my age could manage it themselves but I had always had someone to do it for me. Of course, there were other lady maids who could do it for me but they were always pesky and looking for a topic of gossip. I also was not willing to put myself through another conversation about finding a suitor.
I decided to beckon to one of the other servants to summon Macey. She could manage this herself so she would likely be able to aid me. I was waiting when I heard the door to my chamber open. There was no mirror in my closet as I was not accustomed to it. I often just wore whatever Liz, Bex or Macey asked of me and they were trust worthy as to whether or not it looked well enough.
I raised my voice to let Macey know I was in the closet, "Macey! Dear god, how long does it take you to get here from town you'd think you lived in Blackthorne!"
It was common to make references to Blackthorne in the castle but they were often jokes. I was not sure if they occurred outside the castle walls too as I hardly was able to go out.
I heard Macey enter the closet behind me and said, "I cannot believe I still am not able to tie my own corset. Perhaps the three of you could teach me tomorrow evening."
She proceeded to gather my laces and tie them together. I waited patiently feeling the well known tug of my insides being crunched together. Well perhaps that was a tad melodramatic yet, that's how I felt. Once it was done I held up the necklace Liz and Bex had chosen for me to wear.
"You may as well hook this for me too," I said holding it in reach for her hand.
As she reached over I noticed something odd. The hand that reached over was not delicate and small like Macey's rather it was large and strong. Shocked, I spun around.
"Zachary!"
"Gallagher Girl," he said smirking and tipping his hat.
"What on earth are you doing here?"
"It is not in a servant's polite interest to leave the Princess in her time of need. I was told by one Ms. Anna Fetterman that you required assistance from Ms. McHenry. I assumed any task that was assigned of her could be done by me."
"Were you not aware that it is impolite for a male to enter a female's room as they are changing?"
"Ah, but I'm a servant and you're a princess," he replied.
"Oh never mind," I muttered.
"Where are your lady maids today anyways?"
"Fancy one of them do you?" I asked raising an eyebrow. A part of me however was a bit afraid of his answer. This feeling was odd. He was after all just a servant but he felt closer much like a friend. They had not had many conversations since the day in the passageway. They were more or less about how close the coronation date was.
More odd than anything that had happened today was when he responded with, "Not even close, Princess." It may have been him calling me Princess that made my heart swell with relief but I think it was more to do with the fact that he, unlike everyone else, was not in love with one of my best friends.
"If you must know, they've got to town."
"Why haven't you gone to town?"
"I cannot Zachary, It is not Princess like."
"As if you haven't before," He replied with a smirk. How did he know?
"Well, I have a meeting arranged with my Aunt."
"You have to make appointments to see your aunt?" He asked incredulously.
"Of course not, this is for an actual meeting I have business to discuss."
"What about?" he asked raising his eyebrows.
"That is for me and the current queen to discuss"
"It's a shame you do not trust me Gallagher Girl."
"Don't be silly, of course I don't trust you," I said smiling.
"You insult me," he said taking a step towards me. "What is this meeting possibly for?"
"If you must know Zachary," I said. "It is so I can make amends for what my father did.
"What did he do other than make a barrier between here and Blackthorne?"
"Nothing," I said. We both knew he was a great ruler but the barrier was the only wrong thing he did and I was going to fix it.
I hadn't noticed that we had been stepping closer and closer to one another. We were nearly face to face now and in shock and realization I took a sudden step backwards, nearly tripping. Zach quickly righted me and smirking said, "Careful Princess, can't have you breaking."
That was the second time this had happened as if the first wasn't embarrassing enough.
I was righted but her hands were still around my waist. I looked up at him. We were slowly leaning into each other as if to kiss but just as realization dawned on me the door slammed open.
"CAMERON ANN MORGAN!" Macey screamed. "You had better have a brilliant excuse for calling me here."
She was clearly making her way towards my closet and I looked up at Zach in fear.
"Goodbye Gallagher Girl," he whispered smirking.
He went back towards my balcony doors located at the back of my closet just as Macey walked in.
"What is the matter?"
"My corset I couldn't tie it, I have that important meeting with Aunt Abby."
"Oh very well," she said coming around behind me.
"Cameron this is tied," she said.
"Yes I just did it myself, how is it?"
"Not very well, awfully sloppy, we'll have to teach you the correct way one day." Thank god for Zach's lack of corset tying skills.
"Yes, I agree. I'm awfully sorry about wasting your time Macey."
"What else are friends for?"
I smiled at her. She helped me with my necklace and then off I went towards my Aunt's office. During the walk only one thought crossed my mind, I am falling for Zachary Goode, a servant. A new complication has now been added to the stress of my soon to come coronation.
What'd you think? Review please...more reviews = faster updates :P
Oh, and let me know if you have any ideas of scenes like this ... you know some fluff n' stuff ;)
