A/N: I only own the OC.
Thank you for all the reviews! I hope you all have Happy Holidays this season.
I was sitting on my couch the next morning and watching the news. My face was all over it. I wasn't even sure how I felt about it. I sighed as my phone buzzed. I looked at it; it was Becky. She was coming over now, and I was actually really glad. I needed my friend because I wasn't handling this well. I didn't like seeing my face everywhere. My phone buzzed again and I smiled at the text. I wasn't convinced on Drew until I actually spent time with him yesterday.
Good morning, love. I hope that you are handling this ok... if not please call me. I will come over.~ Drew
I'm freaking out, but you warned me. I am having girl time with my best friend. I will text you later? ~ Jodi
That's fine. I will check on you later. My sister wants to have dinner with us tomorrow night. ~ Drew
Sounds good. I am off work at 17:00. ~ Jodi
I will call you this afternoon~ Drew
I smiled at his use of many different emojis and glanced at the TV again. They were now trying to figure out how I met Drew, where I met him, and all these other wonderful things they could speculate on. I had to chuckle at some of it. My phone buzzed again.
I hope you are handling this well. Please forgive me for yesterday. ~ Stu
I stared at the phone for a long second before deciding what to do. I knew that if I really was going to date Drew, then I would be seeing Stu more than I cared for after what's happened.
We need to be civil and not let Drew know that we have an kind of history. ~ Jodi
I put my phone down as Becky knocked on the door. I opened it and she was holding coffee, donuts, and had a very worried look on her face. She put them down and hugged me. i was really glad for girl time right now. I turned my phone off and put it away. I wanted to enjoy girl time, and not being bothered.
"I had no idea that going out with them would turn into everyone assuming you all are dating now." she said as she handed me coffee and I chuckled.
"Well, I am dating him." I said as she screamed and hugged me again. She seemed happy for me, and I was glad for it.
"I can't believe it! You are?" she asked me and I nodded as we sat down on my sofa.
"Yes, I went to dinner with him last night and he asked me to date him." I said and I had to chuckle to myself because it felt like high school all over again.
"I'm happy for you. I thought you would end up with his secretary the way you guys were undressing each other all night." she said and I about choked on my drink because I didn't expect anyone to notice that.
"Um, no." I finally said as she handed me a doughnut. I took a bite and then it hit me. I had to watch my weight.
"How do you feel about all of the attention?" she asked me as I sat my doughnut down. I sighed and shrugged.
"I don't really know. I'm not used to it, but at least they haven't figured out where I am yet... or who I am. I feel like that's just a matter of time." I said and she rubbed my back.
"I'm sorry, but I am really happy for you. Drew and you seemed so natural when he would see you at the center." she said and I smiled. She was right as Margo came and laid down beside me. I petted her as Becky and I watched the Tv for a second.
"Let's go get our nails done." she said and I looked at her surprised.
"Come on, you just started dating royalty and I feel like you are treating it like you died." she said and I chuckled.
"Please." she said and I sighed. I probably did need to have some fun. I should have been happier.
"Fine." I said and she cheered. She waited while I got dressed. I put on skinny jeans, a comfy sweater, boots, and braided my hair to keep it out of my face. I put on my glasses to try to hide it was me if anyone recognized me. It worked for Superman, but maybe it would work for me. I walked out, made sure that Margo had what she needed, and we left.
"Look at you looking all good and shit." she said and I chuckled.
"I have a feeling that everything I wear or do now is going to be judged." I said and she sighed.
"People are going to love you or hate you no matter what." she said and I knew it as we got into the train stations. We ended up in Trafalgar Square, and Becky lead the way to her nail salon. I was glad that she talked me into it as they massaged my hands and we sipped on wine. We were talking about who we were dating without saying things that would draw attention. We got done and I paid, as she threw a fit that I was paying for her.
We walked out and there was a large group of people on the sidewalk. I put my head down and we started through it when someone recognized me. I was hoping I was just hearing things when I realized that more people were starting to look at me and pulling out their phones. I shared a worried glance at Becky. The whole country was crazy when it came to the royals, and now I was associated with them.
"It's her! The girl dating the prince." a girl yelled and I looked at Becky as anxiety welled up inside of me. Becky pulled me with her as we raced to the nearest underground station, but people weren't leaving us alone. I finally pulled my phone out and called the one person who could help me right now. I just prayed that they answered.
A/N: Who did she call?
