Chapter 11: Like a Fairy Tale

CeCe P.O.V

Today was a very important day for me. It was the night of my royal engagement party and everybody was going to be there including my mom. It's been nearly 18 years since she saw my father. Let's just say things are really awkward between my mom and dad since she got here. It was like they never stopped loving each other.

"Wow, you look stunning CeCe. Just like a princess in one of those fairy tales books." Rocky said sitting on the bed next to me.

"Thank you Rocky. I'm just happy Aina had enough sense to give me room in this dress so I could breathe." I said turning around to look at Rocky.

"Wow Rocky." I stared trying to find the words to say. "Look at me? Look at you! I am borrowing that gown. Better yet, I'll have Tinka make me a gown just like that."

"She did do a really good job didn't she?" Rocky asked.

"Good job? Girlfriend has some serious skills." I told her.

"Are you nervous about meeting on these new people tonight?"

"Honestly, heck yeah." I replied chucking.

"I see you and Gunther have been getting hot and heavy around here lately." She smirked.

"Please don't remain me. We still haven't been able to keep our hands off each other this week."

"Did you guys…you know?"

"No. What is with you Rocky? It's like you're turned into this horny person since we came to Sweden."

"I'm sorry. It's been a while since I got any. I'm really starting to get irritated."

"It's cool, your sexual frustrated. If I had two hot guys fighting over me, then I wouldn't bone them either." I said sarcastically.

"Then you understand." Rocky replied. "Wait a second, are you being sarcastic."

"NOOOO." I replied sarcastically again. "You got Deuce and Bob. Bone one of them and get it over with already. I shouldn't have to deal with it."

"You don't get it. I can't have sex with one and not have sex with the other. Wait that didn't come out right. Let me try this again. If I sleep with one of them just because I'm sexually frustrated then it's going to look bad on me."

"Then you'll just have to stick it out, won't you." I replied. "Why don't you have sex with Deuce? He is your first and only."

"Then what if feelings come back. I'm still trying to get over him. He made it a lot worst when he kissed me last week."

"Wait, Deuce kissed you last weekend?"

"Yes. It happened after my date with Bob. We were talking and he kissed me on the lips. Now I have only a couple of weeks left to pick who I want to be with."

"By then your sexual frustration should be solved." I said.

"Actually, I was going to make a choice tonight."

"Do you know who?"

"We will just have to see won't we?" Rocky replied.

"Girls." Tinka said sticking her head inside the doorway. "What are you two doing? People are waiting downstairs."

"Coming Tinka." We both said.

I arrived down stair to a very nervous Gunther pacing back and forth in the corridor.

"Oh good you're here." Gunther said walking up to me. "Your look beautiful."

"Thank you, you look handsome yourself."

"I wanted to make a good impression on your mother tonight." He said waiting for me to take his arm.

"Gunther you don't need to impress my mother. She already loves you."

"Really, does she love me like how my parents love you or –"

"SHHH." I said putting my hands on his lip. "Why does it matter?"

"Because she's a police officer and I would like to be on a police officer good side."

I chuckled, "Then you have nothing to worry about. My mother said you'll be good for me in the long run."

"It's funny because my mother said the same thing about you. She also said you would give her lots of beautiful grandchildren." Gunther blushed.

I laughed at this.

"Here they are. Let's get these two down stairs and pronto." Aina announced.

"Your nervous CeCe?" Gunther whispered in my ear.

"A little, are you?" I asked.

"Usually I would say no but with you I'm always nervous." He replied.

I smiled and blushed extremely hard.

"WE PRESENT TO YOU THE FUTURE KING AND QUEEN OF SWEDEN. PRINCE GUNTHER HESSENHEFFER AND PRINECESS CECELIA JONASSON!" the announcer spoke.

Gunther and I walked down the staircase gracefully while everybody stared and admired us.

"Just keep smiling baby. We'll get through this." Gunther said speaking through his teeth.

"I can manage." I replied weaving to everybody with a smile.

Finally we made it to the ballroom and there were still hundreds of people staring at us like we were ghost or something. It did freak me out just a bit."

"Champion your highnesses?" The waiter asked holding out a tray.

"Why thank you." Gunther replied taking two of them and passing me one.

"Thank you Gunther." I said taking a sip.

"Oh, there she is." Mrs. Hessenheffer said hugging me. "You look beautiful darling you really do." She told me. "And Gunther, you make your mama very proud." She said pinching his cheek.

"I know mama." Gunther said turning red.

"Darling don't smuttier the children. Let them have some space." Mr. Hessenheffer said.

"Hi Mr. Hessenheffer." I said giving him a hug with smile.

"Cecelia, you look beautiful. My son is a lucky man." He explained.

"Yeah, but not as lucky as I am to have your son in my life." I admitted. Oh my god, what am I saying? Did I just admit my love for Gunther?

"May I have this dance?" Mr. Hessenheffer asked me holding out his hand.

"Yes you may." I replied taking his hand as he guided my over to the dance floor.

Gunther and his mother danced right beside us. We would glance and blush over at each other. Yeah, I am definitely falling in love with Gunther Hessenheffer.

Tinka P.O.V

"Did I tell you how beautiful you look tonight?" Ty asked.

I smiled, "We go through this every time Ty and you never seem to stop making me blush."

"Then my plan is working." He said with a smile.

"What plan?" I asked confused.

"A plan to keep that smile on your face for as long as where together." He replied.

"AWW baby." I said kissing him on the lips.

"Can I cut in?" Lucas asked.

"No you can't." Ty replied bluntly.

"Ty, don't be rude." I said.

"I'm sorry Tinka bell." Ty said looking over at Lucas. "You may not have this dance." He said.

I glared at him, "You know what? I'll love to dance with you Lucas."

"You what?" Ty asked looking over at me in surprise.

"With pleasure." Lucas said lightly yanking me away.

I looked back over at Ty. He had one of those expressions on his face like he just lost everything he owned. I smirked at him and started to waltz with Lucas around the dance floor. I know Ty wanted to kill Lucas right about now.

"So Tinka bell, I hear you and that Ty guy our dating."

"Where doing more than just dating Lucas. He's my soul mate and I'm falling in love every time I'm with you." I replied.

"That ridiculous! I can't believe you thinking about spending the rest of your life with some street argent." He complained.

"He may be many things but he's a better boyfriend then you will ever be."

"You don't mean that do you? Tinka, I know I made a big mistake but I love you. You're the best thing that's ever happens to me."

"I'm flatter. Sadly I don't love you. My heart belongs to Ty Blue."

"Hold on, let's just think here for a second. Tinka you're making a huge mistake. What would your mama and papa think?"

"For your information, my mama and papa met Ty and they love him. How dare you use my parents as a ploy to win me over? You should be ashamed of yourself. Now if you excuse me, I have a very pissed off boyfriend waiting for me." I said about to walk away.

"Tinka bell wait." He said grabbing my arm.

"Let go of me." I said stepping on his foot and walking away.

"My shoe! Tinka bell, wait, come back here." he called out.

Rocky P.O.V

"That wasn't a pretty sight." I said looking over at Tinka walk away from Lucas.

"It was pretty amusing if you ask me. Knowing Lucas, he probably deserved it." Bob said as we continue to dance.

"Bob where do you see yourself in 10 years?" I asked.

"Um, running my own company. Married with children and I'm hoping you'll be that girl. My sister was hoping too, she really likes you."

"I like her too." I replied with a small smile.

"Where do you see yourself in 10 years?" he asked me.

"I seriously don't know. I'm going to college and I don't know what I want to do after that. I love dancing and I'm really smart. It's hard to choose what I want to do."

"Okay, do you at least see yourself married with children?"

"Yes that I could see. I'm afraid I don't know who with." I replied looking up at him.

"You're still in love with Deuce are you?"

"Wait, when did this become about Deuce?"

"Rocky I can look at you and tell who you were thinking of. You're not a hard person to read."

"So if you know that then why are you still trying to be with me?" I asked just realizing what I said to Bob.

"You want to know the reason why? It's because I was always told never give up. If you want something you keep fighting for it, especially if the opportunity is still there. Your worth fighting for."

"I am so sorry Bob. I didn't mean –"

"Save it, you enjoy the rest of your evening." He said walking away from me.

"Oh come on Bob!"

"Is everything okay Rocky?" Deuce asked.

"No everything is not okay Deuce. Since you came here everything has been falling apart. Why couldn't you just stay in Chicago where you belong?" I told him running off.

He followed me out of the ball room into one of the other rooms in the palace.

"Rocky wait!" Deuce shouted.

"Why do you keep following me?" I asked getting upset.

"Because I care about you Rocky. I will always be here for you boyfriend or no boyfriend. You're my best friend and I love you."

"I love you too. That's the part that scares me and Bob knows that now too."

"He knows what?"

"He knows that I won't be able to get over you."

Deuce chuckles, "It's funny because I feel the same exact way."

"Deuce, are you crying?"

"Don't even worry about it. I'll be fine." He replied wiping away his tears.

At that moment, I did something totally unexpected. I pulled my ex-boyfriend into a passionate kiss forgetting everything that just when on in the ballroom.

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but I love you Deuce Martinez."

"I love you too Rachel Blue." He said kissing me deeply on the lips.

CeCe P.O.V

"Finally you and I could dance." Gunther said leading me onto the dance floor.

"Your father is quite the character." I said.

"Yeah, papa could be sometime strange but funny at the same time. He taught me everything I need to know about becoming a man."

"He did a really good job." I said peck kissing him on the lips.

"Thank you. CeCe, I was thinking maybe you and I could go on a picnic next week sometime."

"I've never been on a picnic before. Sounds like fun."

"I'm so glad you're saying that because my parents want you to meet my grandmother."

"Oh, your parents and grandmother is coming with us?"

"Well my grandmother lives in a farm on the country side. You'll love it there. I know I do."

"Don't have to keep explaining yourself Gunther, of course I'll go."

"Really, great." Gunther grinned.

"Excuse me." King J.J. said. "May I have this dance?" he asked.

"Sure, of course. She is your daughter." Gunther replied passing me over to my father. "I'm going to go fine Bob. See you in a bit Cecelia." He said walking away

"Having a good time pumpkin?"

"That best father. How are you feeling?"

"I'm alright I guess. I've had better days."

"Are you sure everything fine?" I asked looking into his eyes for answers.

"I'm sure. Although, I am troubled about one thing."

"What may this be about?"

"Your mother. She looks even more beautiful then I remember. I can't help but feel guilty about losing you girls over a stupid crown. Love more important than any crown. Let me ask you something."

"What is it father?"

"Are you in love with Gunther? Does he make you happy?"

I smiled, "Yes he does make me happy. I think I may be falling in love with him."

"I'm stunned princess. I'm mostly very happy to hear that."

"I'm glad, love you papa." I said hugging him.

"I love you to pumpkin."

Someone cleared there throat from behind us. I turned around to see who it was and there was Gale standing right in front of me.

"Your majesty, may I have this dance with your beautiful daughter?" he asked winking at me.

"Yes you may. See you later." He said kissing me on the forehead and walking away.

"You look exquisite tonight CeCe, honestly." Gale said taking me by the waist and dancing with me.

"I didn't think you would be here tonight." I said.

"What! And miss my best friend engagement party? What kind of guy do you think I am?"

"Well let's see, your cocky that's one, your sneaky that's two and you're a jackass that's three. Are those good enough answers for you?"

He grabs me by the wrist tightly, "Let go of me. You're hurting me."

"You listen here gorgeous. You may be future queen of Sweden but I get whatever I want. After all, they don't call me the top playboy in Stockholm."

"Well you need to get of me. I don't care who you are or what they call you."

"Who's going to make me? I will have you one way or another. I always get what I want."

"Not in this life time." Gunther spoke turning Gale around to punch him in the face.

"Gunther, how dear you hit me! You don't know who you messing with!" Gale said.

"I know exactly who I'm messing with. You don't know who you're messing with. Stay the hell away from me and my fiancée or I'll seriously have you locked up and tell them to throw away the key." Gunther said. "Guards! Escort Mr. Perkins out of here!" he shouted.

"You don't know what you just started." Gale said staring at Gunther with anger.

"But I do." Gunther replied.

Gale was escorted out of the ballroom giving me one last glance before leaving.

"Are you okay CeCe?" he asked running his hand through my cheek.

"I'll be fine. You want to get out of here?" I replied.

"And leave our engagement party? It's a bit rude don't you think?"

"Yeah I guess you're right." I chuckled.

"Do you want to sleep in the same room together? I kind of like having you by my side." He asked.

"Yeah sure, sounds like a plan. I like having you cuddle up next to me." I admitted.

"Then it's a deal?" he asked.

"Deal, let's steal it with a kiss." I replied pulling Gunther into hot passionate kiss.
