Hello everyone! It seems that I get most of my ideas at 1 in morning, so that's when I'm writing most of these chapters. I hope you enjoy! :3 (Btw I'm going to write all the girls meetings with the prince this time, unlike what I did with plane thing. In this one, there are the meetings for Tova, Chole and Bellamy!)
Tova
After Latasha ran out of the dining hall last night, I know now to be careful around Elizabeth. I saw her talking to Latasha last night, and I'm pretty sure that's why she ran out.
All of us are waiting for Prince Damon in the Women's room, even Latasha. Everyone seems to have somebody to talk to except for me and Elizabeth, but there's no way in hell I'm talking to her.
I sit in a comfortable chair in the corner of the room reading my book. Everyone always called me a nerd or bookworm back in school, but I didn't mind it. It's what I am and I'm okay with it.
The room, which was noisy before, became silent as Prince Damon entered the room.
He clears his throat and begins to speak. "Hello ladies. I will come and speak to you one by one, so be ready. And just be yourselves, I won't judge you."
Damon smiles sweetly as he scans over the crowd of girls. His gaze lands on me of all people. He soon walks over and sits across from me.
"Hello there." I say quietly.
"Hello, Lady Tova." He says to me, smiling. "How about you tell me about yourself?"
"Okay," I answer. "Well, I love to read. And I'm a librarian."
"Really, that's very interesting. We should go visit the library together and I'll show you around. How does that sound?" He asks, looking straight into my eyes.
"That sounds amazing. Thank you, your majesty."
"Please, call me Damon." He takes my hand and kisses it gently. Damon gets up and bows. "I can't wait until our date. And let me say, I love your purple eyes. Very…exotic."
"Thank you." I reply. He seems like a very nice and outgoing person, but maybe he's a little too outgoing for me.
Chole
Being probably the loudest in the room, I was surprised that Damon came over to me next. I was hoping he was going to come to me last, or not at all. I really didn't want to be here.
"Lady Chole," he sings out. "It's nice to finally meet you. May we speak over there?"
I follow him towards a table near the door. I sit down across from him, trying to convince myself to be calm and myself.
"So, Lady Chole, tell me about yourself." He says, leaning his head on one hand and smiling. I almost laugh at his lazy behavior.
"Well, I'm an artist, if that's important." I respond, not really caring what I say.
"That's very important to know, for your information." Damon sounds like a very sassy person.
"Well, that's good to know. Anything else you want to know?"
"Yes, what is something you absolutely despise?" He asks, suddenly curious. "I know it's random, but it's nice to know this stuff."
"Well, I don't like horses…" I look down, embarrassed that I said that.
"I'll remember not to bring you horseback riding then." He joked, smiling. He stands up, takes my hand and kisses it. "Until later, Lady Chole."
At first, I wasn't sure about this. But I might get used to this…
Damon
A few of the girls I've met so far (which isn't that many) have been kind of plain. I'm hoping I get more enthusiasm from some of them.
I look around, trying to decide which girl to meet with next. This is harder than I thought. I soon spot Lady Latasha speaking with Lady Bellamy. I'll save Lady Latasha for last…
So, I walk over to Lady Bellamy and Latasha and greet them. "Hello ladies. Lady Bellamy, would you like to talk with me?"
She nods and follows me to an empty table. "So Lady Bellamy, I hear you're a comic book writer."
"That's correct. I an intern writer for the spinoff series for 'White-Hot' comics—The 'Red Queen' series." She rambles. "The main character, Cerise Rouge, has a love interest that looks exactly like you–"
She covers her mouth with both her hands. She soon removes them and lowers her voice. "I just said that out loud, didn't I?"
"Yes you did." I chuckle.
She face-palms herself a few times before talking again. "I'm sorry about that."
I take her hands and smile. "It's fine, Bellamy." I speak calmly. "I'll have to read those comics. Maybe you'll read them with me?"
She blushes wildly and says, "Sure."
"I can't wait." I whisper. Then, I kiss her hands.
She smiles back at me. I tap her hands to let her know she is dismissed. She stands up and curtsies, then runs back over to Latasha.
I look at all 35 girls again. I'm surprised I'm doing this well. I hope I don't screw it up…
