The Princess Diaries 2: - My Own Version

Still not mine! They are Meg Cabot and Disney

Part Two – Out Of The Sheets

Clarisse gazed at the letter in front of her, not registering what it said, she didn't particularly care what Viscount Mabery had to say on the way Mia would one day run Genovia, she knew for well that the man didn't like her, or Mia, or any Renaldi ruling over her country for that matter. She sighed deeply, and put the letter to one side, taking off her glasses, and leaning back in her chair.

The sun shone brightly through the large windows to her right, she closed her eyes slowly, pushing her chair back slightly, forgetting about anything, and just finding peace for a few short moments. In the now quiet atmosphere of her office she dozed off in to a light sleep, dreaming of passionate fantasies with her head of security.

Charlotte walked along the corridor, she saw Joseph peering in the door of Clarisse's office.

'Just marry the woman! Then you wouldn't need to sneak around, and hope no one is watching!' Joseph turned to Charlotte and smiled.

'At least I've not tired her out like you seem to have!' Charlotte looked horrified. Her mind was somewhere else entirely! 'Relax, I didn't mean like that!' she looked extremely relived. 'No, look!' he pushed the door gently open. Charlotte saw her reigning monarch fast asleep in her chair. She smiled.

'Should we wake her?' Charlotte asked 'Princess Amelia will be back any minute!'

'No,' Joseph knew Clarisse was tired 'Let her sleep, I'll carry her back to her suite, I'm sure her bed is infinitely more comfortable than that chair!'

Charlotte nodded and smiled, 'and you would know how comfortable her bed is!' she thought, giggling to herself as she walked away, leaving Joseph to take Clarisse to bed.

He lifted her off the chair into his strong arms, she murmured something unidentifiable,

'Shhh, go back to sleep love.' She murmured something else and said no more. Joseph carried her all the way up to her suite, and laid her on the bed, removed her shoes, and turned to leave, he heard her move a little on the covers.

'Stay with me' she whispered. He turned back to see her watching him.

'You were awake?'

'No!' she laughed 'you tickled my feet when you took my shoes off.'

'Sorry' he sat next to her on the bed, cradling her in his arms. He gazed into her blue eyes, they sparkled up at him, 'How did I get you?'

'You were a very lucky, attractive, handsome, sexy man, who knows some very naughty Spanish, some very seductive dance moves, and is divine in bed!' Joseph raised his eyebrows 'See, Mr Romero, you have it all, what is not to adore! The real question is how did 'I' get you?'

'I shall top you their Ma'am, you see, other than your beautiful eyes, that sparkle like the sea, a figure like a goddess, a smile that can heal the deepest of wounds, you are the kindest woman, you care for everyone, things have happened to you that would have killed many people, but whatever the situation you have carried on, you have fought for your country, and still been home to be mom, your boys always came first and yet you still found time to relive Charlotte of her grief at the loss of her mother, you took her under your wing as if she were your daughter. Still you ran an entire country, even when you lost one quarter of your heart to some careless teenage drunk. You are my hero, Clarisse. And I will love you forever for the way you make me feel!' Tears spilled down Clarisse's face.

'One thing, 'a quarter?' of my heart, how does that work…You, Mia, Philippe, Pierre and Charlotte…That's five!'

'Fine then, a fifth of your heart, but it was still a huge piece.' He kissed away the tears from her face, working his way down until he reached her lips, she captured his kisses, getting faster, and more passionate, their tongues entwined in one another, fighting for entry into the others mouth. The pair passionately held their kisses, breaking only for gasps of air, then regaining their connection.

'Oh my…' Mia shrieked and turned and rushed out.

'Ooops!' Joseph laughed, Clarisse giggled then scrambled off the bed and ran after he granddaughter.

'Mia!' She cried 'Mia…come here! Listen to me…' she caught hold of her hand just as she reached for the door to the Library. 'Mia!' she gasped 'Please don't be angry!'

'I'm not!' she looked confused 'I'm not, I just…well that wasn't what I thought Charlotte meant when she said you were asleep!' Clarisse laughed. 'You love Joe, don't you Grandma' Clarisse nodded, looking a little embarrassed 'It's ok! I think it's cute!'

'Cute?' Clarisse laughed 'Parliament seem to think it is 'shaming the country' and 'a disgrace to Rupert's memory!''

'Really?' Mia looked shocked 'Are they blind?' Clarisse laughed 'Seriously, Grandma! How can they not see that you two are perfect for each other?' Clarisse looked stunned.

'Have you been talking to Charlotte?' Mia laughed

'Duh! And practically everyone else who has ever seen you two within 5 metres of each other!'

'So we are palace gossip?' Clarisse raised her eyebrow

'Of the best variety!' Mia grinned.

'No! Mia that isn't good!' Clarisse looked worried

'It is! Come on! You deserve some fun!' Clarisse frowned again and sighed. Walking into the library. She gasped and jumped, clutching her hand to her chest.

'Oh! Joseph! I really wish you wouldn't do that!' He laughed at her. 'you'll have to make me a map of all the passages! It may come in handy' she winked at him!
