"There you are" Letitia said with a few pins in her mouth " so which dress shall I wear this one" she asked holding up a silk beige dress with wide long sleeves the material of the dress had gold stars all other and a thin gold ribbon around the waist " or this one" she said holding up a similar styled one just in brown and gold and no strs on the material.
" I told her the first one" Lucy said pointing at the beige "but she wants your opinion" she said shrugging her shoulders.
"I agree with Lucy" Susan said sitting down and looking at the creative room "but I don't know if they still have my dresses" Susan added indicating to her sister to come forward.
"Oh thats all right a seamstress dropped a dress for you and in our rooms the wardrobes are full of beautiful clothes." Lucy said like it didn't matter. Lucy sat down at Susan's feet and gave her a bunch of gold and silver hair clips.
"Really, thats amazing" Susan said picking a silver flower pin and placing it in Lucy straight brown hair. Letitia came out from behind the screen in the biege dress with a gold earings and a gold necklace, she twirled around and stopped facing the female Pevensies.
"You look so beautiful but your stealing my spotlight" Lucy said laughing
"Wow!" Susan gasped "You look amazing everyone will be after you" Susan said thinking of her brother Peter. Lucy walked over to the double bed and picked up a dress which was lying there.
The underdress was flowy and biege with 3/4 sleeves and the over dress was strapless and aquamarine blue with light silver patterns.
"She made that in a day I need to go and say thank you" Susan said holding it up and staring at it.
"Go ahead but don't take to long we need to make you ready for an amazing night"Letitia said. Susan knew where the royal seamstresses room was. Susan walked really fast looking at the marble floor and not up.
"Oops, better look where your going" Caspian said smiling and picking up the book he fell, automatically Susan bent down to pick up the book and there hands touched. Susan sighed and got up.
"I guess i'll see you at the party" Susan said, Caspian looked like he had something more to say but Susan wasn't in the mood to hear anything "Bye" she added and walked off. Caspian was upset he had wanted to ask her if they could talk. He looked back to see Susan walk around a corner away from him. Oh well Caspian thought he'd find her later. Susan heart was beating as she turned the corner. She couldn't get his cute jokey smile out of her head as she knocked on the seasmstress's door.
"Come on in" a tired voice said. Susan pushed the door and peeked her head inside to see a rosy, chubby women sitting on a sofa with a mug of a steaming drink." Oh, Queen Susan I never knew you were visiting me is there something wrond with the dress?" she asked her face all worried.
"Of course not I came here to tell you the dress you made was amazing and that if theres anything I could do for you do not hesitate to ask because its the least I could do." Susan said smiling sympathitacally.
" Oh you are too kind your highness" she said getting up and walking to the desk with lots of ribbons and materials,
" Thank you so much" Susan said " Ive got to go and get ready for the party, I do hope your coming"
"Of course I am, I am the one who made all the royal highnesses clothes" she chuckled " Goodbye and I hope to see you there dear one" Susan walked out of the room feeling happy.
The evening rapidly approached and Susan hair was curled and her aquamarine dress was put on, Letitia had given Susan a silver necklace which sparkled non-stop. The hall was full of Narnians and Telmans, the colourful clothing filled the room and the smell of the food was delicious. All the Kings and Queens were supposed to enter togather after the party started 'a big entrance' the faun with the trumpet had said. The massive wooden doors were closed and on the other side were the guests. Caspian was wearing a Silver Telman tunic and to Susans eyes looking gorgeous, her brothers had made the effort and were looking handsome, Lucy was adorably cute going round telling everyone how beautiful they were.
" And know for The Kings and Queens Of Narnia, King Caspian The Tenth, King High Peter the Magnificent, Queen Susan the Gentle, King Edmund the Just and last but not least Queen Lucy the Valiant." all five royals stepped forward and the massive wooden doors opened everone was staring at the doors as they all walked down the space which had been cleared there were cheers and laughs as the 5 Kings and Queens sat on there throwns. The music started and the party was on a roll again.
Everyone was dancing, Lucy with anyone she could reach, Edmund with any girl he thought was cute, Peter was just dancing and drinking and Caspian was in the corner only wanting to dance with one girl. Susan was watching her siblings with joy she had danced and worn out her thin dancing shoes, she had hardly made eye contact with Caspian and was feeling guilty. She needed air Susan got up and walked out where a massive fountain was she was feeling tired but satisfied. As she stared at her reflection in the water she smiled. Narnia was her new home.
"You look beautiful" a voice which made Susan heart melt with love. Susan span around to see two brown smiling eyes staring at her.
" Oh! Wow thank you, you look extremely hansome too" Susan spluttered feeling stupid and out of place. Caspian stepped forward and lifted his arm indicating for Susan to take it, she hesitated at first and then linked her arm with his. She could feel his body heat and hear him breath her heart was beating fast and she was getting sweaty palms. Caspian could her her sweet steady breath and feel her thin body slightly leaning on him. He wanted to say something, make her smile but he was stuck,
" Caspian" she started, Caspian turned to look at his angels face they had to talk about what had happen it was going to happen sooner or later,
"About the kiss" they both started, they stopped walking and looked at eachother for a moment. Susan smiled and her mouth opened till she was laughing Caspian joined in.
" You first" Susan said not wanting to go first the two stopped and Caspian took Susan hands.
" I do not know" he started with his telman accent which any girl would love "what that kiss meant to you but" he stopped to look at Susan who was looking at the ground " but It meant alot to me." he stopped and breathed deeply. Susan smiled and bent her head slightly looking at Caspian.
"I could speak or do this" she whispered moving her head so close to Caspian. There lips touched as they carried on gazing into eachothers eye. When the kiss was over, Caspian laughed,
" I thought you hated me and that the kiss was charity" he said jokingly.
"No!" Susan gasped smiling a little " I'd never hate you and that kiss was a memory incase I never came back" the two looked at eachother a laughed.
" We should get going back inside" Susan said after they had kissed again " They are probably missing us" she chuckled she then stopped, Caspian paused worried
"What is it"
"I don't want Peter to know yet, he can get quite protected and it would ruin your relationship with him" she whispered in his ear smelling his intoxicating smell that she loved. Caspian smiled and put one hand on her waist and the other on her neck tipping her over and kissing her in chic style.
Susan giggled.
