Part Thirteen: Going Along with Being Chosen

"But surely his father won't allow it, right?" Sky asked.

"He will if he knows you and he does," Eric said.

"Right because he was tired of me training with Cam..." Sky said, "we should get going back in..."

"Yeah. Let's go," Eric said

"Ok.." Sky said as they walked back in.

Everyone was looking at Sky and Eric, but they were mainly looking at Sky. Sky felt uncomfortable. The Prince walked down and walked over to Sky, smiling.

"Sky, my love, I've chosen you to be my wife-to-be." He said.

"H-Huh? Wh-why me? I'm a peasant girl," Sky asked.

"Because you are not like the other maidens here or in the kingdom. You don't care if you rant to anyone," he said as he was smiling.

"O-oh..." Sky said, "to be honest with you, I don't know your name. I only know you has the Prince..."

"Oh. That's a problem, but it can be solved right away. I'm James Jackson or you can call me JJ, James, Jackson, or handsome," James said.

Sky giggles at the last name James said, "Handsome really? I say Mister Flirty," Sky said as she smiled.

"Or you can call me that. Anyway, shall we dance?" JJ said-asked as he held out his hand for her.

"Su-Sure," Sky said as she takes his hand.

James took Sky to the middle of the dance floor. The orchestra started playing a slow dance. Sky doesn't really know how to dance.

"Hey Flirty?" She whispered.

"Yes, my love?" He whispered back.

"I don't know how to dance..." Sky whispered

"Oh?" He whispered, "follow my lead then"

Sky nodded and followed his lead. They were dancing a while later. Sky was smiling. James noticed and smiled. He was glad that he saw Sky's smile.

James chuckled a bit as he smiled.

A while later, James and Sky finished dancing. Sky was smiling as she yawned.

"Tired, lovely?" JJ asked.

"N-no," she said as she yawned again.

"You are. You can stay here for the night, if you want," he said.

"I would, but I told my aunt that I would be coming home late and my date is still here," Sky said.

"I can go tell your date that you're staying here for the night and to tell your aunt that as well," JJ said.

"I don't have any clothes to change into for the night or for tomorrow," Sky said.

"You can wear some of mine."

"Wouldn't that be weird?"

"No, plus you are my bride-to-be, my love"

"Fine, but where will I sleep?"

"You'll sleep with me," he said as he smiled.
