10:41AMJune 23rdThe Sitting Room
Complete and utter devastation. That is the only way to describe how I feel right now. I try to do the honorable thing, I bare my heart to this woman, and it all blows up in my face! I…cannot even muster the heart to write right now…
Later:
I suppose I deserve what I got. Trying to sabotage her like that destroyed any trust she might have had in me before I even wanted it. Everything was so perfect, and then everything became so horribly wrong. Here's the story…
Last night, I went to see her again, just as I'd promised. I threw pebbles at her window to get her attention. After a while, I heard Lily's voice drift out the window.
"Prince charming is throwing pebbles!"
And Mia poked her head out the window.
"Nicholas! What are you doing here?"
I cleared my throat and replied with a corny rhyme,
"Rapunzel, rapunzel, with hair so fine, come through your window, climb down the vine."
She took one gander at the vine and simply replied,
"The feat you ask dear sir isn't easy, and I wont respond to that line because it's far to cheesy."
I had only hoped she would come at this point. She popped back into her window and I heard only furious whispering.
My heart skipped a beat when she reappeared through the window and began to climb out. She struggled with it a little bit and got stuck, but when she got loose she fell right on top of me!
"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!" She whispered
"Don't worry. I'm used to it." I joked. But it was still true.
When I finally recovered, we got up and I led her to the stables. I heard Lily's voice behind us.
"Go rapunzel, go! I'll cover for you." I made a promise to myself to thank her later.
After that was an interesting night getting to know Mia. She's even more wonderful than I had imagined. I even felt brave enough to tell her my secret desire to dance with her again and she was kind enough to allow me to, despite having no music. Things started getting bad when we accidentally fell asleep.
Even though its summer, it got pretty cold last night. I woke up with Mia in my arms, and her face buried in my chest. We woke at about the same time.
"Good Morning." She mumbled happily to me, looking up at me with a sleepy face.
"Good Morning." I replied, almost laughing.
"We stayed up all night." She said simply, and she scooted closer to me.
"We did." I laughed. Then it hit Mia like a ton of bricks.
"We stayed out all night!" She sat bolt upright. Then she turned to me and laughed.
It was then that she noticed the man in the boat out on the lake. The man had a camera and had been recording us since we woke up. I'm not going to go into details, but Mia was furious. She thought I was the one who sent the man with the camera. She called me names and refused to listen to me. It hurts to think about it.
After Mia stormed off, I slowly made my way back to the castle. I had underestimated the loyalty of the castle staff to Mia until I was on the receiving end of many glares. I packed up my things and left as discreetly as possible, avoiding as many people as I could. I am home now, thankfully. I think I should get some sleep. Tomorrow is the wedding (My uncle relayed that, much to his dismay, the wedding was still on), and I'm still not sure if I am going. At least I didn't ruin everything for her…
