Chapter 2: My Everything...

That day was also my first dance class. There was a dance studio in our castle.

They said that, in a royal family, the ball dance is a must. The teachers were a couple. Mr. Oliver Houston and Mrs. Lisa Houston. They told us to choose partners for the dance. Obviously my partner was Allen. Lucy was only 2 and Aiden was 3. I was 4 and Allen was 5. Our age difference really mattered. Lucy and Teers sat down at a corner to watch their elder sister and brother dance.

"Let's see how much do you know about the ball dance." Said Lisa.

Allen bowed to me and forwarded his hand. I was confused.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"You have to curtsey and keep your hand on his hand to start the dance.... You're doing great, Allen." Mr. Houston said.

"Yeah, mom taught me some of the steps before coming here." Allen said.

I did cursey and kept my hand on his hand. We got up and he slowly grabbed my waist. We started dancing.

I was feeling very uncomfortable because no one ever touched me like that. I was very nervous that I stepped on his foot. He got hurt. I could understand. But he didn't react and kept on smiling. And I kept on blushing. It was going just fine until I stepped on his foot again and fell down. He tried to hold me but he couldn't so we fell down together.

The whole time we were dancing until the class ended. Amy came to the studio to speak to the teachers. While we four were dancing ourselves.

At the dining room, Allen sat next to me as usual. Allen, Lucy, Aiden, mom, dad, Henry and Amy and I, we always eat together. Even though they are different from us, but they are the part of our family.

We all were eating then suddenly my fork fell under the table.

"Uh, oh... I'll pick that up for you. Wait...." Allen said and went under the table.

I peaked at him. He picked it up and turned at me. I was wearing a short skirt. And suddenly his cheeks went red. I quickly put my hands on the skirt and pulled it till the knees. He got up. He sat on his chair and was looking in some other direction while handing me the fork.

"What happened?" My mom, queen 'Enchantress Heartfilia' asked.

"Nothing!" I and Allen said together. We looked at each other for a second then turned away.

When I and Lucy were going to bed, mom and Amy came to our room and kissed on our foreheads(as usual). Amy sees us as her own children. And mom also cherish Allen and Teers as her own children. They switched on the night light, switch off the main lights and left.

Suddenly, I heard foot steps.Someone was at the door. He opened the door and came inside. He came near my bed and pushed the curtains to come inside.

"Allen! You scared me! What are you doing here in the middle of the night?!" I shouted.

"Shhh!" Allen said, putting his finger on my lips. "Lucy's sleeping...."

"You didn't sleep?" I asked.

"How can I? You had a bad day just because of me. I came to say sorry. Specially for what happened at the dining table." He apologized.

"Hey, don't think about that much.... We are just kids. I know you didn't do it on purpose." I said.

"Yeah..... May I hug you?" He asked.

"Why all of a sudden?" I asked.

"........ Nothing.....But if You'll hug me then I'll know that we're still friends... But if you don't, then you'll mean that you're still angry with me."

"Oh Allen!" I said as I hugged him. "You are very bad! You shouldn't put questions to our friendship. Because I love you........! I said that without even thinking. Our cheeks went red. "I mean.....we're friends...right?"

"Hmmm.... Good night, Palace. See you tomorrow."

"Uh.... Good night....Hey.....would you come to wake me up tomorrow.....?" I asked in a low voice.

"If you want....then...okay....but mom and Enchantress comes to wake you, right? So....?" He Asked.

"So what? First my mom and Amy goes to wake you and Aiden. Then they come to our room to wake me and Lucy. So come here with your mom." I said.

"But why do you want me to wake you up?" He asked.

"Because I want to see you first in the morning............... Will you be my first thing in the morning?" I asked with a hopeful face.

"I want to be your everything...." He whispered.

"What?" I pretended as I didn't hear what he said.

"Nothing.... Good night...... Palace." He said and kissed me on my forehead while leaving.

I started blushing. I'd put my blanket all over me and covered my face. I peaked out, took a deep breathe and said...

"My Everything.........

.........yes you are...."
