Chapter 6: Nothings Too Impossible
CeCe P.O.V
"Ouch, I can't breathe!" I yelled out of breath.
"Now, now, your highness, a princess should be fitted properly for her annual engagement party." Aina explained.
"But why doesn't it involved breathing?" I asked gritting through my teeth.
"Well you know what they say? Beauty is pain darling." She replied.
I rolled my eyes.
"CeCe is that you?" Rocky asked walking in the room. "Wow that gown looks fantastic on you."
"Why thank you Rocky. You know what? Why don't you wear it for me while they fit it. I'll go to the kitchen and us some ham and cheese sandwiches?" I explained putting on a fake smile.
"CeCe, I know what you're doing and it's not working. So you're just going to have to deal with it into their done." Rocky replied with a smile.
"You know what then, I hate you and we are no longer friends." I lied, being sarcastic.
"Your highness, that is no way for a princess to be talking." Aina said.
"Serves her right Aina, She doesn't know the meaning of respect." Rocky said.
I stuck out my tongue at Rocky.
"Remember what we talked about? A princess should always be poise, respectful, graceful and show some dignity." Aina explained.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah! Those are just some of the main steps to becoming a confident woman and I should treat others like I would want to be treated." I spoke.
"Well done your highness." Aina said gracefully.
"You know what I think? I think CeCe dress should be a little more tighter just the way she likes it." Rocky said lying straight through her teeth.
"Rocky, I love you, but if you don't shut your mouth. I'm going to pick out the ugliest outfit for you to wear at the fundraiser this afternoon." I smiled.
Rocky squint her eyes, "You wouldn't dare?" Rocky
"Oh, but I will." I replied with a smirk on my face.
Rocky crossed her arms together, "Too late, Tinka already design an outfit for me and it will be here in another hour."
"That can be rearranged." I said showing her my phone.
"CeCe put the phone down." Rocky said calmly.
"No you can't make me." I said putting the phone up to my ear.
"NOOO! CeCe give me the phone!" She yelled pushing me down on the bed and knocking the phone out of my hand. Aina and the styles screamed in surprise with their hand over their mouths.
"Your highness! Are you alright?" Aina asked loudly.
Rocky and I were too busy laughing, so we didn't hear what Aina was saying. A few second later, Aina and the design left my room to give Rocky and I some privacy.
"Geez, I thought they would never leave." I said in relief.
"It must be really hard having all these responsibilities? People always on your back telling you what to do or what to wear and how to speck. And here I thought I had it bad." Rocky explained.
"All jokes aside, I think I'll never get used to this." I admitted.
Rocky turned over on her side to look at me, "Why not CeCe? You're doing a great job so far and we've only been here for a week."
I snorted then looked out at her, "That's because Gunther has been doing everything and all I have to do is just stand there looking pretty."
"Well, I think you can change that and show them that you're more than just a pretty face. Any other day, if you wanted something done then you would just do it without anybody else's permission. And "that" is the CeCe I' know and love."
"Aw, Rocky, give me a hug." I said putting her into a bone crushing hug.
"Ouch!" rocky screamed pulling away.
"What?"
"I think your gown just pinch me." She replied rubbing her stomach.
"Oops, I totally forgot about the pins in my dress, sorry." I said putting on a cheerful smile.
"It's okay CeCe, you didn't know."
"Can you please just do me this one favor?" I asked.
Rocky narrowed her eyes at me, "What do you want?"
"Can you please un-zip this dress? It's cutting off the circulation to my air supply."
"CeCe how is that possible?"
"Oh just shut up and do it, please?" Rocky unzipped my gown and I take a deep breath lying back down on the bed. "Thank god, I feel so much better." My phone started to ring so I look down on the floor for it. "Oh! Deuce is calling me." I said picking up the phone.
Rocky whispered, "Whatever you do tell him I'm not here."
"I got you Rocky." I whispered back. "Hi Deuce, how's it hanging?" I asked him.
"Not so good CeCe. I can't eat, sleep and I can't even take a load off without thinking about Rocky. I miss my firecracker CeCe and I regret ever breaking up with her." Deuce complained.
"Aw, Deuce how sweet." I said sighing.
Rocky whispered, "What did he say?"
"He said he misses you." I whispered back.
"Really?" Rocky asked in excitement. "I mean, it's not like I care anyways." Rocky lied looking away.
"Yeah sure." I said corking my eyebrows at her.
"CeCe, are you still there?" Deuce called out.
"Yeah I'm still here Deuce."
"Who were you talking to then? Wait, it Rocky there with you? If she is, then can I speak to her?" He asked.
"No Rocky not here, that's my adviser Aina specking." I replied lying to him.
"Oh! Well when you see her, can you please tell her to call me? I've been calling her for days and she hasn't returned any of my phone calls. The closes thing I have left to her is you and Ty."
"Yes Deuce, I'll make sure to tell her, but if she doesn't want to speak to you then don't be mad at me."
"Why would I be mad at you? You haven't done anything wrong. I'm the idiot here, I sabotaged my relationship with the most beautiful girl in the world." He explained.
"Second beautifies, your forgetting about one person and that's me mwah." I said.
"You're alright I guess." He said.
"Hey!" I shouted.
"I didn't mean it like that CeCe. Believe me, you're gorgeous but you'll never be Rocky." He explained.
"I get it, there no other girl in the world that would make you look back at them twice, because you only have eyes for one girl and that's Rocky." I explained.
"That's exactly what I'm trying to say. Anyways, don't let me hold you up, I'll talk to you later." He told me.
"Okay later Deuce." I replied pressing the end button.
"What did he say now?" Rocky asked anxiously.
"He feels like a total jerkoff for breaking up with you. Now, he wanted you guys to get back together." I replied.
"Well it's too late, I've already moved on." Rocky said sticking her nose up in the air.
"And who would that be?"
"Bob, he's been really great the whole time I've been here and I'm really starting to like him."
"Rocky, we've only been here for a week and you barely know the guy."
"I know enough about him. He's in a good college, he has a twin sister and he has a really good job in marketing."
"Bravo Rocky, anybody can learn that in one week but it doesn't mean you still know them."
"When did you become so smart?"
"It's all in here." I replied pointing to where my brain was at. "I don't need to be book smart to know that. Plus, its only common sense."
"I wish you woul've learn that along time ago."
"Keep playing Rocky and I will find you the ugliest F-in outfit to wear at the fundraiser this afternoon."
"No thank you, continue."
"I think your moving too fast Rocky and it's obvious you still love Deuce."
"I do love him with all my heart, but I would like to do something new for once and that's meet new people. Maybe this break up was a good idea after all and it's for the better anyways. So, I'm making a decision to moving on."
I nodded, "Okay, whatever makes you happy then I'll support you."
"Thank CeCe, I knew you would understand. Anyways, let me go get ready for the fundraiser. Bob is my date for the fundraiser. Later!"
"Later." I replied.
(The Annual Garden Fundraiser)
"Tinka, what is the point of these fundraisers?" I asked walking down the step with her.
"It's really just an excuse for the community to have a party for all the important rich people like us. Oh yeah, and showing off Sweden's most beautiful gardens." Tinka replied.
"Stockholm does have a beautiful garden." I admitted.
"Yes they do. We actually have a lot more people this year than we did last year." She explained.
"Do you think it has something to do with me being here?"
Tinka chuckled, "Trust me; it has a lot to do with you being here. Your Sweden future queen and everyone want to meet you. Not only that, since you're engaged to be married to my brother now, people want the chance to see Sweden most famous couple and take pictures of you guys together."
I chuckled weakly "I don't think I'm ready for that."
"Well get ready, because these people will eat you alive. So don't let your guard down."
I nodded.
"There goes my cupcake." J.J said kissing me on the forehead.
"Hello papa." I replied.
"Are you enjoying the fundraiser darling." He asked.
"It's great papa, really." I replied.
"Good to here, be careful with paparazzi darling, they're like wild animals and they catch everything." He explained.
"I'll keep that in mind papa." I said with a smile on my face.
"That was the same exact thing I was telling her your majesty" Tinka told him.
"Good job Tinka, you keep an eye on my little girl." He said.
"Will do." she said.
"Yes, you girls have fun." He said walking away.
I looked around, "Where Ty?"
"He's with Gunther they've been hanging out lately." Tinka replied.
"Oh, that's great then." I replied. So Ty has been following me and Rocky's advice? Good job Ty.
"Hello Tinka." Lucas greeted walking up to us with some guy.
"Hey Lucas." Tinka said giving her a hug. "Lucas, this is Princess Cecelia."
"But I would prefer to be called CeCe." I said sticking out my hand for him to shake.
He took my hand and kissed it, "The pleasure is all mine your highness and may I say you are beautiful."
I blushed, "Thank you."
"Oh, how rude of me, this is my friend Gale Isberg." Lucas said.
"The pleasure is all mines, CeCe." Gale said kissing my hand.
"Likewise Gale." I replied.
"Anyways, it was nice seeing you ladies. But we should probably get going and meet Bob at the other end of the garden." Lucas said.
"Ladies." Gale said bowing his head goodbye.
"He was hot." Tinka said.
"Tell me about it."
"He was also checking you out." Tinka said looking over at me.
"I know! He is so into me." I agreed in excitement.
"He's also close friend with the man you're going to marry." Tinka said picking up my hand and showing me my engagement ring as a reminder.
"Aw man! So you mean to tell me that you know him too?" I asked getting antsy.
"Of course I know him; he's one of Gunther best friend along with Lucas. Why do you think he didn't introduce himself to me?" Tinka explained.
"I guess you're right. God, does anybody not know Gunther?" I asked.
"Who doesn't know Gunther? do I need to remain you time and time again that my brother is important out here."
I rolled my eyes, "No Tinka, you do not."
"There goes Gunther and Ty now. Wait, why is Susan on Gunther arm when it should be you?"
I quickly glared over at where Gunther was standing, "Why that sparkly wearing, no good, pretty boy wearing! Faithful my a –"
"CeCe! Watch your mouth!" Tinka shouted. I look over at Tinka and smiled at her. "Yikes, that doesn't look too good. CeCe why are you smiling at me like that?"
"Tinka, would you mind walking with me to talk to my fiancé." I asked with a grin on my face.
"Sure, on one condition. You promise you won't blow up like a hot air balloon in front of all these people?" she asked.
"I illusory promise not to blow up like a hot air balloon in front of all these people." I said showing my hand.
"Are you sure because your face expression is very reassuring?" Tinka asked not believing me.
"I'm sure, now let's go." I said. When we got there, Ty was the first one to notice us.
"Hey ladies." Ty agreed.
"Hello Ty." Tinka said talking his arm. "Let's get out of here and move quickly." She whispered walking away quickly with Ty.
"Ah-um!" I said clearing my throat.
That differently got Gunther attention, "Hello darling." He said kissing me on the cheek.
"Who's your friend?" I asked.
"Oh, how rude of me. Susan this is my fiancée Princess Cecelia." Gunther introduced.
"It's very nice to meet Cecelia." Susan said sticking out her hand for me to shake. Her other hand was still wrap around my fiancé arm.
"It's your highness to you and can you take your hands off my fiancé please? I don't think your being very respectful to him or your future queen."
"Oh I'm sorry." Susan replied taking her hand off Gunther arm. "I didn't know there was a law for that?" she said as a smart remark but tried to make it seem like it wasn't.
"There isn't, but there should be a law for that called, all hussies should keep their filthy paw to themselves, especially off other people's fiancé's." I said pissed off. Susan mouth opens up in shock on the way I reacted.
"Cecelia darling, she really didn't mean any harm by it." Gunther said.
"Save it Gunther, I have nothing else to say to you." I said walking away.
"Cecelia!" he shouted.
"Stop calling me that A-hole!" I shouted still walking away.
"Well, hello, we meet again." Gale said.
"Oh hi." I replied.
"Did I just hear you call my best friend an A-hole? What does that even mean?" he asked.
"Trust me, you don't want to know." I replied chuckling.
"So what is a beautiful girl like yourself doing here without a man by your side?"
I chuckled a little, "You mean to tell me that you don't know already?"
"No darling I don't."
"Wow! Some friend he is. You know that guy I was just calling an A-hole?"
"Yes, Gunther Hessenheffer."
"Well that who my fiancé is." I admitted.
"No? I thought he was lying when he told me that he was arranged to be married to the princess." Gale explained.
"Well, I'm here, so he didn't lie about that." I said nodding.
"Can I tell you something?"
"Yes you may." I replied.
"In my opinion, you are way too good for him and you deserve someone better."
"Tell me about it." I agreed rolling my eyes.
"If you weren't engaged to my friend, I would sweep you right off your feet and make you mine." He said.
I blushed, "Well, I –"
"Gale! What do you think you're doing with my fiancé?" Gunther asked walking up to us.
"Where just having a conversation G, cool it." Gale replied.
"That's not what I heard and I appreciate it if you don't come on to my fiancé anymore." Gunther explained.
"What? CeCe, was I trying to come on to you?" Gale asked.
"No, and if he did that's none of your business Gunther." I replied.
"CeCe be quiet! You don't know what you're talking about!" Gunther shouted.
"You know what? I'm out of here." I said marching off in my heels.
"Hey, you stay away from her." Gunther said to Gale then walking after me. "CeCe, can we please go back to the fundraiser?"
"Leave me alone Gunther? I knew this crap was too good to be true. Your just like the rest of them and I want nothing to do with you." I taunted.
"Why you say that?"
"Because Gunther, you had some other girl on your arms. Do you know how that makes me look?" I asked walking by the fountain.
Gunther smirked, "I get it, your jealous."
"I am not!" I shouted.
"Your sudden pausing tells me you are."
"Oh yeah! And what about you Mr. All the girl wants to be with me? You were jealous that somebody else rich can take your spot as king."
Gunther eyes widen, "Are you completely insane? That was the biggest player in Stockholm and I would know that because I when to school with him for 7 years."
"He was just trying to be nice Gunther. And for once I would like for a guy to tell me things I want to hear."
Gunther laughed.
"Stop –stop laughing, this isn't funny Gunther." I yelled as Gunther continued to laugh. "You know what? I loathe you!" I yelled hitting him on the shoulder with my hand bag.
"Well I loathe you too." He said taking my hand bag from me and hitting me lightly with it. My eyes and mouth widen in shock. Before I know it, Gunther pulls me into our first passionate kiss. I wrap my arms around his neck and he wraps his arms around my waist. At that sudden moment, Gunther started to walk backwards and I forgot all about the water fountain being a few feet away from us. But when we got to the edge, I trip over the fountain and both of our bodies when down into the water. It was the most embarrassing moment I've ever had besides farting on national television.
"Oh my god! My hair, my make-up everything is all ruin." I cried out.
"Oh please you'll be fine." Gunther said trying to climb out.
"You plan this, you wanted me to fall in the fountain didn't you?" I asked getting out of the fountain.
"What? How could you say something like that? Did your mother drop you on the head when you were a baby? Because your mental." Gunther explained.
"I'm mental? Screw you Gunther! Your nothing but a user and all you care about is my father crown. You don't care about me." I taunted walking away in my extremely wet clothes.
Gunther Sighed, "CeCe, it's not like that."
"Oh yeah." I said turning around to look at him. "So what ever happen to you taking me out on our first day huh?"
"I wanted to take you out this week, but I was extremely busy. CeCe, it's not easy being me, okay."
"It's not easy being me either, but you don't see me making up excuses." I said.
"Little cookie, please." Gunther said.
"Don't! I'm only in this to help my father out. We will work this out somehow. Into then, let's try to make the best of it." I explained.
Gunther nodded then taking a deep breath.
"I'm going to see if Tinka has any extra clothes in her duffle bag." I said walking away from him.
