We hanged out for a while. It was getting late. I told the guys I had to go. I wanted to walk Flora, her mother, and sister home. I wanted to make sure everything went well. So, I left and headed back to Lynphea.
When I got to Lynphea I went to the palace to see how everything was going. I got there in good timing. The party was still going but coming to a slow end. I walked in looking around for Flora, her sister, or mother. I didn't find any of them but instead I found someone I really did need to have a convention with.
"Helia, so happy you came back." Queen Rachel said when she saw me.
"Hello again Queen Rachel." I said.
"You came back in time. The party is coming to a slow end. But doesn't mean I don't have time for you." She said.
"Actually, I wanted to talk to you about something important." I told her truthfully.
I think right now will be my only time when I will be able to get her alone to talk to her about Flora. I really need to see what she is thinking. Because Flora is going nowhere.
"Sure. Come on. We can go over her for some privacy." She said leading me to a bench.
"Thank you." I said.
"What is the important subject you need to talk to me?" She asked.
"Queen Racheal, you are like family to me. That will never change. But Flora is now family too. She feels like you don't like her." I told her.
She didn't say anything right away. We just sat there in silence for a bit. She then looked at me and said,
"I never wanted to make her feel like that. Why does she feel that way?"
"When we had that dinner as a family. All you did was go on about me and your daughter. Krystal has always been a close friend to me. Even a sister. But there is never going to be anything more. I am sorry to say that. I am in love with Flora. She is my everything. I would love for you to get to know her for her." I answered her truthfully.
"I am so sorry Helia. I never meant for that to happen. I know when you and Krystal were younger, I thought maybe more could happen. But I always saw you my son. I am sorry. I will get to know her. I promise." She told me.
"Thank you. That is all I am asking for. I really want all my family members to get to know Flora for the amazing loving person I have fallen in love with." I told her.
"I will. Let's go find them. They must be somewhere around here. I need to apologies to Flora for my behave and first impression." She told me.
*Flora's POV*
After a while my sister and mother has found us. They look like they were having fun. I am happy by that. I was also having fun. This has been a good time.
We were just sitting at one of the tables when we saw Helia and Queen Racheal coming over to us. They were both smiling. Helia came over and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I gave him a kiss back.
"Flora, my dear want to apologize for my behaver and first impression. I never wanted you to feel like you were not welcomed or wanted. I hope after today we can turn over a new leaf and get to know each other better as family." Queen Racheal said.
"I would love that." I told her truthfully.
"You had a talk with my mother. Didn't you Helia?" Krystal asked.
"Yes, he did. He told me the truth about everything. I never know I was pushing you away. I never wanted to do that. Yes, when they were, I thought something could have happened. But now seeing him with you Flora. I could never say he could have another person call a wife. You really do make him a better person. I wish I saw it sooner." She told me truthfully.
"It's okay. There is no better time then the present." I told her.
We smiled and she gave me a hug. We then spent the remaining time together. She was really wanting to get to know me. I now feel like everything is coming together. We were becoming one family.
