A/N – It hasn't been too long this time; I've been as quick as I can! Hope people like this chapter! I can't believe I finnaly finished it, lol! Please R and R!
Saturday 11th August, 9.18am limo on the way to Grandmere's
Just great! I over slept so Grandmere is going to murder me, I haven't had time to phone Michael and my phone has run out of credit! Plus I have to spend the entire day learning how to walk, dance and sound like a princess while always looking fabulous in my dress! This is going to be the most boring day of my life and I feel so guilty about going to the ball with James, I feel like I'm betraying Michael!
Saturday 11th August, 11.23am Grandmere's suite
Grandmere is in panic mode! The violinist has cancelled, the decorations are late and she has all her staff racing around the hotel having no idea how to fix things! The good news is while she is dealing with all these 'crisis's' she doesn't have time to lecture me on my manners, walk, dancing skills or, anything else! I miss Michael so much; I just wish I could tell him that I forgive him! He has been so patient and everything and now I can't even …
Brrring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tina's calling me!
Saturday 11th August, 11.48am Grandmere's suite
I told Tina about forgiving Michael, she says that it won't kill him to wait one more day! I suppose she's right but I just want to talk to him and tell him how I feel, I can't believe grandmere won't let me phone him from her suite… but she is in total panic mode, maybe she wouldn't notice if I …
Saturday 11th August, 4.13pm Grandmere's suite
Ok so she wasn't incomplete panic mode! Typical! The decorations have arrived and another flutist has been found. The ball will go ahead! Great! Well I've been taught how to sit, stand, walk, talk and dance like a princess and I have an itinerary for the evening …
6.45pm – Greet guests
7.10pm – Dance first dance of the evening with James
7.15pm – Talk to prime minister about his road improvement policy
7.45pm – Meet with members of parliament
The list goes on! What a fun evening this is going to be!
Paulo just arrived to do my hair, I don't know why they are doing it so early, it will be down by the evening, but Grandmere says that we must do the hair first so we can see how the eye shadow looks with the slides and experiment to find the perfect shade, Brilliant!
Saturday 11th August, 6.08pm Grandmere's suite
Finally a minute to myself, Grandmere has been lecturing on how to act all the time I had my hair and make up done, she's only gone off now to answer the phone! I mean come on, I'm not a kid, what does she expect me to do throw a tantrum and start throwing food around? Well I officially dreading this now, Grandmere just showed me the guest list and she has invited like a million celebrities not to mention all of parliament and like anyone in Genovia who she knows the tiniest bit. Basically, if I screw up tonight I'm dead! Oh no she's back to… Oh My God!!!!!!!!!!!!! James is in hospital with a chest infection, I'm dateless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Saturday 11th August, 6.14pm Grandmere's suite
I know that sounded totally selfish, I mean the guy's in hospital and all I can think about is how I'm not going to have a date for a stupid dance, but, he'll be fine a few weeks, I'll be known for the rest of my life as the 'princess' who couldn't get a date to her own celebration ball! Not that I don't feel bad for James, he'll be in hospital for two to three weeks Grandmere says but he's not I too much pain and he'll be fine once it's cleared up! But I still don't have a date with only half an hour to go until the guests arrive! Grandmere says that he did it on purpose and is tying to find another date for me, but with half an hours notice there's no chance! I'm going to be the dateless princess who everyone feels sorry for!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Saturday 11th August 6.40pm Grandmere's suite
Five minutes until I have to start welcoming people and still no date! I'm doomed!
Saturday 11th August 7.13pm Plaza Bathroom
Oh My God. That's all I can say that was the best evening of my life! I was standing in the Ballroom talking to the prime minister's daughter and trying to smile when they announce over the speakers that they had a special request! Then Michael gets up on stage and starts singing Princess of my Heart! It was so sweet, just like in one of Tina's romance novels! Then he came down off the stage and said in front of everyone,
"I love you Mia, please forgive me!"
"Of course I will!"
And I just fell in to his arms and we kissed not even caring who was watching! Everyone clapped (apart from Grandmere whose face was like thunder, oh well guess we'll have to work on that one!)
And now he wants to know if I'm coming out to dance, of course I am!
