Leni

Robbie's sharp voice sent waves of terror shooting down my throat up my spine pulling away from Damian. I glared at Robbie who glared right back.

"Leni that is not how we behave in public we have an image to uphold respectful, courteous, regal not slutty, your young adults Eleanor you know the rules you know why we follow these rules but since you seem to have forgotten I shall remind you of our class.

The Royal family represents England, we are the top preserver of our country's good deeds, history we are idolized by many people around the world. If wedidn't behave we are dirtying our country's name and deeds specially our family and ourselves."

"Damian if you are going to be with my sister you need to be a proper gentleman you ask to hold her hand you kiss her check and only her check you hold the door for my sister you address her by her royal highness she is not to date alone she is to date in groups no less than six or seven, we are to know where you are going how long you will be there, who you will be with, what you are doing, cell phones are on at all time when we call you answer, remember you are always being watched by us by the paparazzi you will be judged by everyone but at the end of the day it's Leni's name on the line so you will respect her our family our rules. Do you understand me?"

I was beyond shaking with anger who did Robbie think he was? Damian seemed to handle it better than I did he simply nodded at my brother but I wouldn't give him an answer I jumped up stomping off

"Eleanor get back here!"

Screw Robert who the heck did he think he was? He wasn't my father nor was he my mum he was only my brother. I get he worries I understand he feels pressure to live up to our family legend but he had no right to do that to me or to Damian! Going over to the bar bowing my head

"What can I get for you your Royal Highness?"

Slowly I let out a breath looking up shocked seeing those eyes staring at me they went right through me leaving me speechless "Lexi?" "Yes Princess that's my name"

She smiled a smile so radiant it could make the sun jealous without me having to say it she poured me a pino noir. I never drank wine before so I was a bit nervous she smiled "Just relax close your eyes and let the flavor rush your mouth I promise you'll feel better"

I did as she said slowly sipping the drink closing my eyes letting out my breath as the strawberries mixed with the cherries and blueberries over ride my taste buds my checks tingled my tongue shock with pleasure. I felt her take my hand a chill went through my body as I opened my eyes.

I saw we were outside she smiled wrapping her arm over my shoulder as we went around back taking my hand she led me inside a back room. She held me steady as we went up three flights of steps. Where were we going? The lighting was dim so I couldn't see going down a hall she stopped outside a door using a key to open she allowed me inside first smiling.

"Welcome to my humble quarters Your Majesty"

"Your royal highness is fine my mum is her majesty"

"Sorry I'm not use to this whole royal family"

"It's fine you can call me Leni I prefer it"

"Than Leni it is"

Her apartment was adorable small with only four rooms the main room was all white with a floral design in the couch recliner and rugs, modest 12 inch TV family photo's lined the walls the kitchen was only a half kitchen with a stove, microwave, fridge/ freezer a table shoved in the corner two small windows which had the curtains drawn. The master bedroom had it's doors closed than there were two smaller rooms that was empty but obliviously belonged to boys.

"I apologize formally in advance my brothers are typical lads and by typical I mean pigs"

I couldn't help but laugh as I sipped my drink shocked to find it was almost empty.

"I know that feeling I have two both older man are they ever disgusting they are so lucky they have a full staff that cleans their rooms for them"

"So wait your brothers never have to clean their own messes up?"

I was probably blushing but I was feeling so warm now. I didn't know if it was the wine the blanket she had wrapped around me or the question her tone wasn't accusing but it did have a disbelieving tone to it. Did I speak to freely? Well I opened the gate I might as well go through it there was nothing to be ashamed about even though my life wasn't normal it was my life. I couldn't lie and why should I either she would accept me or she wouldn't if she didn't I didn't need her in my life. Another swig the last I answered the same way I have heard my uncle say a million times

"No they've never had to clean up anything were Royalty we don't clean up after ourselves we pay people to do that"

Shockingly she laughed letting out a breath I didn't know I was holding I smiled back at her as she filled my glass back up.

"It doesn't mean my brothers are slops or incapable of cleaning we just never had to"

"Aw man my brothers would love that!"

"I'm sure most kids would although Robbie would prefer to do it himself he is just a control freak!"

"He seems nice though Len"

She opened the door to another room across the hall her room I assumed my breath caught as I entered while her brothers adjoining rooms were a deep blue with a once green carpet now covered in stains a bunk bed in one room ripped with covers thrown all over the place clothes all over even on the furniture. The other held a single equally as messy bed.

Hers was a tropical paradise sparkling cherry hardwood floors palm tress fake of course lining the room one wall was an ocean view another was a night sky the one behind her bed was a beach view with painted palm tress a beautiful sunrise. Her bed was a canopy of colors the sheets, pillow covers were black silk with a rainbow colored comforter pink, red, orange, yellow, green, turquoise, indigo, violet.

Her dressers held pictures all over them picking up one I saw it was her with her three brothers her arms around two of their shoulders while another was on bended knees in front of them. "How old are your brothers?" She came up behind me her breath against my shoulder blade sending shivers down my neck why did I suddenly feel so cold? I saw my shirt had slide down my left arm but made no motion to move it even though I saw her eyes checking it out. "Bruce here"

She pointed to the boy on her left side with shoulder length brown hair a huge smile as he laughed. Is 11 and Rennet is 14 and Dice is my twin" "So is Rennet older or younger?" She smiled leaning closer why was she so close? Was this normal between girls? "Is the princess curious about thy age?" "Yes thou is but thou does not need to talk in Renaissance tongue"

She was so close to me now our breath were against each others check once again I had drinking every drop. "Pray me pardon thou Maiden protests?" "Aye!" We both giggled like crazy she fell against me her check against mine. "More wine fair maiden?" I nodded someone had to stop this crazy talk.

Reaching for my glass I felt the world spin swaying I grabbed for something to hold onto she was there in an instant. "Maybe that's enough for now Len lets sit down" Sitting down sounded amazing but was easier thought of than done. She took my hands leading me slowly over as everything spun. As I fell onto her bed I saw the colors of her comforter on her ceiling in the shape of a flag why did they look like something I had seen before? She helped me to sit up my head resting against the pillows which felt amazing.

"I'm older than Rennet I'm 16"

Ah an older woman okay cool I felt the bed creak as she slide in next to me. "Your accent isn't of a Londoner" "No princess that's cause I am not from London I was born in Manchester my mum is from England my dad a New Yorker we traveled with thee Jorvik Viking Festival as well as thee Duke John's Festival (Hertug Hans Festival) up until two years ago my mum felt she was getting too old to do so much traveling plus she wanted us to have a normal up bringing we would miss school from December for rehearsals than for the faire itself which took place mid-January though mid-February we'd have two months in school before being pulled out in mid may for more rehearsal than June thee Duke John's started"

I felt her fingers running through my hair normally I hated anyone touching my hair to me it was intimate. I had to spend so much time while my ladies in waiting did my hair I hated for it to be messed up but I didn't mind her touching it. For whatever reason she relaxed me made me feel safe. Turning over I smiled at her still feeling dizzy her fingers moved to my face. Shivers went through me

"You still manged to earn your way to black belt" "Yea I had great teachers Dominic was awesome he trained me everyday after school the months I was in town for than faire time I was lucky each faire I had someone there who was also a black belt they worked with me before and after the faire and on weekdays non-faire days is it hot in here or is it me?" "It's you"

I answered somewhat cheeky but also a bit serious suddenly I noticed her hair was darker reaching up. I sat up not a smart idea but I was intrigued now grabbing her hair I let it fall through my fingers. "Your hair's darker!" "Yes you just saw that?" She laughed full on as I nodded which made my head spin harder grabbing me she held me up smiling as she slipped her shirt off why was she doing that? "So you think I'm hot?" I was caught off guard did she think I was coming on? Was I?

I was so confused falling back onto the bed I closed my eyes suddenly I felt her on top of me what was she doing? Shivering as I felt my shirt being unbuttoned "Relax let the wine soothe you I'm just making you more comfortable" I saw no reason for her to lie so I closed my eyes "Your mum let you dye your hair?" "Yea she believes in letting kids express themselves creativity besides it's only black with purple highlights wouldn't your mum let you?"

Her delicate hands were massaging my shoulders slow sensual why did it feel so different than all my other massages? Why did it feel so amazing? Why didn't I stop it? I don't know the answers to any of these questions but I didn't stop her even as she moved her hands down further over my back pulling my shirt all the way off removing my bra her fingers digging deep into my warm skin making the little hairs stand up in shivering goodness.

My breathing was deep as my skirt came off. I should stop her but I didn't I let her fingers work their way over my bare back deep in neck my body arched along with hers as each touch sent waves of pleasure through me. Every part of me shot up than fell back completely relaxed and exhausted she collapsed next to me smiling as she ran her fingers over my chest. What had just happened? Why was she grinning?

"I had a hunch princess my gaydar is usually never wrong" What was a gaydar what was she talking about? I had no idea all I knew is I was feeling so peaceful I didn't want it to end. So I didn't ask. I just let her touch me all over as I lay there zoned out envying her freedom her creativity my eyes once again saw the rainbow colored flag as they wandered around the room landing on pictures of her with another girl around her age. She was shorter but curvier with porcelain skin wavy blond hair and blue eyes.

Their arms were wrapped around each other's shoulders. One frame had the words Khloe and Lexi 4 Eva around it the frame was heart shaped. She saw me staring at the picture "My ex Girlfriend Khloe we worked better as friends than as…

Than as what? My eyes went back to the flag that's when I made the connection. The same moment her lips pressed themselves against mine. She tasted like cherries and vanilla. Her moans brought me back to reality, I shot up pushing her back shocked who did she think she was? Why would she kiss me? More importantly though why did I like it?
