Chapter 1
'Rose Candy' I unwrapped the hard, pink candy and popped it into my mouth. "Mmm..." I closed my eyes and leaned bock on the soft, heavy covers of my bed. The sweetness in my mouth felt good as I sucked all the flavor out of the little pink square.
The candy was almost gone when I opened my eyes. A cool summer breezed blew through the jade-leafed trees outside my balcony window. It looked so appealing to stand underneath the stars that sparkled with a heavenly glow sprinkled among the pitch black sky brightened only by the pale blue light of the full celestic moon.
Before I knew it I was outside the sliding glass door of my room and on my balcony, arms resting on the hard, grey stone railing looking out among the mansion grounds. My long, pink dress whipping freely in a cool gust of wind as I sighed. It felt good, wrapped in the warm serenity of the night, all alone. There were always too many meetings, suitors...too many PEOPLE to be alone being the princess of Neo France. There was never enough time for myself, things important...love.
There's only one person in the world that truly means something to me. Not one of my fifty-some suitors...no. George de Sand, the French representative for the 13th Gundam fight, the Scarlet Rose Knight, the Jack of Diamonds...my hero. I'm not even sure if he likes me back. Not that my father would even approve of us together anyway. I sighed. "George, my love, my rose knight..." My sea foam green eyes twinkled in the dazzling light of the beautiful moon and my golden-blonde hair swayed from side to side. "Oh George, vous are mon un desir." As I finished the French sentence I pushed a stray strand of wispy hair from my fragile face, a pinkish blush at the cheeks.
Just as I began to sink into a quiet, thinking state, I heard quiet rustling from the ground below. My interest took over and I hastily tip-toed to the edge of the balcony and leaned slightly over. 'George!' I thought with exhilaration. George de Sand was knelt by a rose bush in full bloom and delicately plucked a crimson red rose off the plant, moving his hands in such a was as so not to get pricked by the lethal looking thorns. Watching him was almost like a dream, enchanting. "Miss Marie..." His voice was composed and sensitive as he spoke. I almost choked when I heard him call my name. Had he known I was here this entire time?
"Oui, monsieur?" I asked looking back over the railing still dazed by the unexpected surprise. I felt my face glow cherry red and my cheeks were searing. Then I saw them. His violet eyes. They were elegant and stylish, chic. A luminous dew drop slid promptly off the slick rose petal as he shifted slightly on one leg.
"Miss Louise..." I heard my name being called, this time by someone other than George. I glanced down at George once again before looking back to see Rachelle, the maid, standing behind me. "It's time for you to return to your bedroom. It's 9:57 already, you need to get some sleep before morning."
"I'll be in in a minute..." I replied. I waited for Rachelle to head back inside before I scurried back over to the balconys edge to talk to George one last time. 'He's not there...' I trailed off in my mind. I was about to turn and go back into my room when I saw something out of the corner of my eye. 'The rose!' The crimson rose that George picked from the rosebush below was sitting on the balcony table. I skittered over to the table to retrive the stunning flower. I stood for a moment to contemplate the beauty of the bloom before going inside.
Once back inside my large bedroom, I tenderly placed the rose beside the designer-created lamp on my oakwood bedside table, changed into my pink silk nightgown, slipped beneath my thick bed covers and flipped off the light.
Light flooded the room again after I switched the lamp back on. I dug through my desk without getting out of the warmth of the bed. Finally I found what I was looking for...the bag of 'Rose Candy'. I jammed my small hand inside the mouth of the bag, retreived a paper square from the sack and put the candy bag back inside my drawer. Before turning the light back off I removed the paper from the candy and popped it inside my mouth again.
