Chapter 3
My Everything
King Eric and Queen Annie decided to have a big banquet/party for the prince's visit. They spend all morning planning the music, guests, food, and decorations for the party. They were so busy they didn't even notice when noon came along. When the bell rang, they immediately looked at the clock, and then realized the Prince of France was there. They had their maid let him in and led the throne room, where Kind Eric, Queen Annie, and Princess Ruthie would meet him.
"Hello, Prince Martin!", exclaimed Annie.
At the mention of his name, Ruthie's head snapped up and she realized that the Prince of France was none other than Martin Brewer, the boy from her dream!
"Hello, you majesty, how are you today?", he asked.
"I am just fine, and you?", Annie inquired.
"I am fine.", Martin replied.
"Martin, I would like you to meet my daughter, Princess Ruthie.", announced Eric.
"Hello.", said Ruthie, while shaking his hand.
"Hello.", Martin replied, while also shaking her hand.
They both stood there and stared into each other's eyes for a minute.
Martin's pov
When I looked at Ruthie, my heart melted, she is so beautiful. I think she might be "the one". I am definitely going to make it a point of getting to know her way better.
Ruthie's pov
The second I looked at Martin my stomach got butterflies. He is gorgeous! I am definitely getting to know him. Mom was right, this won't be bad at all.
Later at the party…
The party was awesome. Music was blaring, people were talking and dancing, and everyone was enjoying himself.
Martin knew he really liked Ruthie. Throughout the afternoon they had gotten to know each other better and found they had a lot in common. He realized he loved her. But wasn't sure if she loved him.
After a little while, Martin decided to sing one of his favorite songs to Ruthie. He was dancing with her when he decided, so he asked her to stand in front of the stage so he could sing to her. He got up on stage, and began to sing.
The loneliness of nights alone
The search for strength to carry on
My every hope had seemed to die
My eyes had no more tears to cry
Then like the sun shining up above
You surrounded me with your endless love
Cause all the things I couldn't see
Are now so clear to me
You are my everything
Nothing you're love will bring
My life is yours alone
The only love I've ever known
Your spirit pulls me through
When nothing else will do
Every night I pray
On bended knee
That you will always be
My everything
Now all my hopes and all my dreams
Are suddenly reality
You've opened up my heart to feel
A kind of love that's truly real
A guiding light that will never fade
There's not a thing in life that I would ever trade
For the love you give it won't let go
I hope you'll always know
You are my everything
Nothing your love won't bring
My life is yours alone
The only love I've ever known
You're spirit pulls me through
When nothing else will do
Every night I pray
On ended knee
That you will always be
My everything
You're the breath of life in me
The only one that sets me free
And you have made my soul compete
For all time
You are my everything
Nothing your love will bring
My life is yours alone
The only love I've ever known
Your spirit pulls me through
When nothing else will do
Every night I pray
On bended knee
That you will always be
Be my everything
When Martin finished singing, he walked back to Ruthie and asked her on a date. When she said yes, Martin was so happy she said yes, he almost didn't hear her suggest a picnic, which he gladly accepted. They decided on going the next afternoon.
