"You! What are you doing here?" I screamed, covering myself.
"I came for you," He said that as if it made complete sense.
"I don't want to see you. Go away," Instead of going away as I had wished he would, he walked into the river, slowly trudging towards my showering self.
"I said go away!" I shouted, turning away from him as if that would help but he didn't heed my words.
"I know you did," He replied, a small smirk on that handsome face that I had grown to both love and hate.
"Then why aren't you going away?" I asked, now beginning to take slow steps back as he got closer.
"Because I came to see you and I'm not going anywhere until I see you," Was that supposed to be flattery? Why don't I feel flattered then?
"If I say so myself, I think you've seen too much of me," I mumbled and he seemed pleased by my words which only frustrated me further.
"Too much of you is never enough for me. The more you show, the more I want," Now I felt flattered.
I turned around to look at him but it was too late, feeling a strong grip on my bare waist, I was heaved into the air as he carried me in his arms, pushing us both back against a rock as I gulped back a surprised scream.
"What do you want?" I finally asked the question he'd been patiently waiting to hear and he didn't waste another second to answer, grey eyes glinting with underlying mischief.
"I want you,"

Once Upon A Crown

"Why does this time of year have to be so busy!?" Beatrice shouted as she hung the washing up on the lines while I sat on a stool, making her a flower headband to cheer her up. 


"Yes. As soon as Eleanora's ball is over, we all have a day to rest before we have to start with the preparations for the crown prince's ball. The two events are big events and they're happening only weeks apart from each other," 


"What!? It's Val's birthday!?" Why in the bloody world am I only learning of this now!? 


"Yes. His birthday is on the 27th... so 2 weeks from now but the ball for his birthday will be held a day after his birthday, on the 28th. You didn't know?" I shook my head at her with a pout and she chuckled at me, shaking her head. 


"I have to get him something. What do you get a man that already has everything?" I thought aloud and Beatrice hummed, trying to help me come up with something.
