The doors to the main sitting room burst open and interrupted the embrace being enjoyed by Phillippe and Diana. Diana's parents had left the room shortly after Lilly, Mia and Michael, and so the two young people had taken the opportunity to enjoy themselves.

They both jumped back from each other as the doors swung open, panicked by the sudden noise and movement. The guy in the doorway smiled a suspicious smile, clearly guessing what had been going on prior to his arrival.

"Hey Phil, what's going on?" James asked as if he didn't know.

"Jay, great to see you, I guessed you wouldn't be far behind your mother" Phillippe smiled, realising it was his cousin, and not a servant or one of his or Diana's parents, that had caught them doing, what they were doing, but still ignoring the question he'd been asked.

The two young men shook hands and Phillippe caught sight of his other two cousins behind James.

"Laura, Nina, come in and sit down" the two girls did as they were told, both giving there older cousin a bright smile. They were pleased to see Phillippe as they always were, but now they liked him infinitely more than they did before.

James, their brother, had been their favourite person in the world. He'd looked after them and always been there for them but lately, since their parents had started arguing, James had changed and Laura and Nina had started to realise they definitely preferred their cousin to their rebellious and often nasty older brother.

Diana smiled at the two girls who came and sat on the sofa beside her.

"Diana, this is Nina and Laura. They're the daughters of my Aunt Lilly and Uncle Boris. Girls, Diana is my fiancee"

The three girls greeted each other and then Diana's attention went straight back to James. Her eyes had locked on him as soon as the doors had opened and apart from her brief glance at the girls next to her, Diana had kept her gaze on Phillippe's male cousin the whole time.

"And this is James" Phillippe pointed to the young man next to him.

"Call me Jay, everybody else does" James smiled and extended his hand in Diana's direction. She got up and reached her own hand out to meet his. As soon as her hand was in reach, James took hold of it, raised it to his lips and kissed her knuckles, before letting go.

Diana blushed a deep red and Phillippe looked uneasy about the whole thing.

"Diana is my fiancée" the young prince pointed out, again, but James's gaze did not move from the blonde girl in front of him.

"Fiancée?" he echoed, "You're a lucky guy, Phil"

Diana went even more red, if it were possible. Here was a guy, probably the most gorgeous guy she had ever seen, and he was saying her fiancé was lucky to be with her. There was no way of knowing that Phillippe and Jay were related. They looked nothing alike. They were both tall with dark hair, but that was where the similarity ended.

Phillippe was good looking, almost an exact replica of his father, although obviously younger and taller, with green eyes and dark hair and a smile that could melt your heart. He looked smart in the suit he wore, but standing next to Jay, well, he suffered by comparison.

Jay was gorgeous, in a different way. He was more relaxed than his cousin and when he smiled he looked especially sexy. He had blue eyes that were so bright they were almost blinding and seemed to hold so many feelings.

Diana suddenly realised that whilst she stood, staring, thinking about the many attributes the two young men in front of her possessed, the conversation had moved on without her.

"So what's with the new look?" Phillippe asked, noticing his cousins clothes were not as smart as they had been on his past visits.

"Thought it suited the new personality better" he grinned, "I got sick of being the good little boy. Trust me, Phillippe, doing what you want to do is much more satisfying than doing what's expected of you. Give me rebellion over compliance any day"

Phillippe looked unimpressed.

"What are you rebelling against?" he was interested to know.

"Everything" Jay said seriously, "but my father mostly. I hate the way he treats my Mom. The only reason we're here is because Mom couldn't stand to be around him anymore. Only I realised that he wasn't the only screwed up idiot on the planet. There's a lot of them Phil, a lot of control freaks in the world who are just out to get you. Teachers at school get their kicks out of telling kids what to do. I don't stand for it anymore because I don't see why I should" he explained, wandering over to a nearby chair and sitting down.

"So you act like this to get at your Dad and your teachers?" Phillippe struggled to understand his cousins flawed logic.

"Yeah, them and anyone else who thinks they can control me" Jay put his feet up on the coffee table, "Why? You got a problem with that?"

Phillippe had no answer to that. He did have a problem with that, more than one problem, and not just with Jay's attitude either. He didn't like the way he acted, the way he looked at Diana, the way he insulted his family. It seemed as if his cousin, James, had changed so much, he was barely recognisable, personality-wise, as the same person. The young prince didn't see the point in starting a fight about it now though. If Aunt Lilly and Uncle Boris were having problems, Phillippe didn't want to make matters worse by arguing with their son. Besides, if Lilly and Boris could sort out their problems, maybe Jay would change again and be more like his old self. At least, Phillippe hoped that was what would happen, before too much trouble was caused by his rebel of a cousin.

A/N : Hope you enjoyed that. More about Lilly & Boris (and James) coming soon. In the meantime, please review and I will keep writing as fast as I can.
