Chapter Twelve
Roger and Alanna were sitting next to each other watching everyone else dance they had gotten tired of it.
"What happened back there?"
Alanna looked out at everyone dancing "Roger, I-Look at Elspeth and Alex, they make such a cute couple don't they?"
"Don't change the topic…. But yes they do."
"Roger, the truth is that…the truth is that I don't know what happened. I just started thinking about everything that could go wrong"
"Such as?"
"I don't know"
"Yes you do. Tell me"
"No, I really don't know"
"Alanna, tell me, we can't do this with secrets"
"It's stupid"
"ALANNA! TELL ME!"
The music stopped. All eyes went over to the newly weds
"Keep your tone down! Do you need anger management? I really don't know, I guess I was scared… that we… would hate each other or something."
"That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. If I didn't love you, I wouldn't have said 'I do'. I know it is the same thing for you"
Lord Alan came over
"I'm leaving now" Lord Alan leaned over and kissed his daughter on the cheek
"Good bye father."
3 hours later
Finally! man I disliked parties before this but now… I really hate them.
"Alanna!"
Alanna turned. Elspeth was running after her
"What is it Elspeth?"
"I…hold on, let me catch my breath…ok. I'm good"
"What did you want to tell me Els?"
"I never got a chance to give you your wedding present"
Elspeth handed a badly wrapped present to Alanna
"You know you didn't have to do this"
"I know"
"Oh Els…thank you so much! I love it."
"And, it is just for you…most of your gifts you have to share with you dear husband"
"Are you mocking my husband?"
"No"
"Too bad…I was going to tell you to continue"
The two girls started laughing
"I could… but here comes you're husband and my fiancé."
"There you two are, come on Elspeth lets leave these two alone. Goodnight your grace."
"Right goodnight Alanna, Duke Roger."
"Come on Alanna, you look exhausted"
Or bored
"Alright" Alanna said
