Karmen

She grabbed his hand dragging him along with her hastily descended the grand staircase making a mad dash towards the front entrance. When suddenly he pulled her back to him. She turned in his direction puffing her cheeks , and shooting deadly daggers with her eyes .

Amused by the murderous look in his little pets beautiful blue eyes ,he chuckled. "Sweetheart let me walk out first, we don't know if it's safe outside."

They stepped out of the grand entrance, where he quickly surveyed the surroundings ,only to find a shiny new black Ferrari Laferrari Aperta sitting in front of the castle .

When the car door few open a beautiful young girl with chocolate brown hair and big brown eyes came bouncing out . She ran up the stairs filling the air with high pitched squeals and scrams .

The squealing and screaming pierced his ears sending a chill down his spine. He pulled his shoulders together and gritted his teeth. He even squeezed his eyes shut, hoping this wasn't a preview of what was to come in the next two days.

He opened his eyes just in time to see a small figure a teenage debutant dashing in his direction. The hyper teenager squealed and screamed as her perfectly styled her bounced around wildly. She dashed forward in expensive designer clothes and four inch high heel shoes.

He stepped to the side ,hoping not to get bowled over ,just to hear more high pitched squealing and to see his beautiful Princess and the teenage debutant embracing each other.

They vigorously jumping around ,like two overly excited game show contestants.He cleared his throat to gain their attention.

Karmen promptly turned and crusty to the Vampire King ,greeting him in a small shy voice "Good afternoon your Majesty."

Alex instantly cut through the formalities, welcoming his fiancé's best friend . " please Karmen ,call me Alex .Welcome to Eddington castle. "

"Thank you Alex , I'm excited to be here"

" I can tell," Alex chuckled ,waving his hand for the two girls to follow him." If you will please fallow me ,I will take you to your room so that you can freshen up before we leave for our camping trip."

He turned glance over his shoulder speaking to Lexi "Sweetheart I will have Karmen's bags sent up to her room and have Julie come up to help her get ready to leave. Would you like to visit with her a little while in her room?"

" Oh yes, we have so much to talk about." Lexi gushed excitedly, holding on to Karmen's arm with both hands.

Alex lead them through the hallway when they past the spa Lexi pointed towards the big brown double doors . " Alex is so sweet he had a spa built just for me before he came to pick me up at Whitley castle."She moaned ,as if she had just eaten something delicious.

Alex smiled hearing Lexi praise him. "Sweetheart you and Karmen may want to take a spa day after we get back."

" That's a great idea" Lexi chirped ,the two girls walked behind Alex. He lead them back up a different staircase in the direction of the bedroom he had decided to put Karmen in . Lexi continued to babble about the spa and their parents as the two girls followed Alex blindly. Lexi held on to her best friends arm telling about all the wonderful things she and Alex had done since she had arrived at Eddington castle.

"The spa is wonderful, Shelly the massage therapist does everything ,facials, pedicures, manicures just everything, she's very skilled and sweet. And it smells like heaven in there." Lexi praised

On the second floor they walked down a long hallway Alex halted in front of a set of brown doors .He pushed the door open and the girls walked inside.

The room he had brought them to was painted cream colored with a big brown sleigh bed setting in the middle of the it. A brown and cream colored area rug poked out from underneath the bed. The beading was also cream colored with a big dark brown fur throw at the foot of bed.

On the right side of the room a wall of glass doors lead out to a balcony over looking the a beautiful garden in front of the pool .

A big rich mahogany desk set in front of the glass doors, with a big brown leather chair behind it .On the left side of the room

there was a big stone fireplace with a flat screen TV hanging over it .

A cream colored sofa and two cream color chairs set in front of the fireplace. Every thing in the room was luxurious and expensive with beautiful texture and warm lighting a beautiful room ,but with no color.

Every thing was cream and brown even in the bathroom anyone could tell this was a man's room just by glancing around at the masculine decor and pictures that set about and hung on the walls.

Alex stepped inside after the two girls closing the door behind him ,letting them know what time they planned to leave for their camping trip."Sweetheart I'm going to the garage to get the jeep , I will come back in about a hour . Someone is bringing Karmen's luggage up. Julie and Beth are on their way to help her unpack." He stepped over to the sliding glass doors sliding them open speaking to Karmen.

"This balcony over looks the west wing garden, it's peaceful to set out here at night . I think you will enjoy it , it's truly a beautiful garden. This was my room ,when my father was alive. And if you need anything ,my brother's room is right next door " He pointed towards the wall on the other side of the room " he will be glad to help, he has the same apps on his phone as I do. He can contact, maintenance , kitchen staff , maids any thing you need. Please don't hesitate to ask him."

Alex reached forward bringing Lexi closer to him wrapping his arms around her waist "Darling this room has the same command center as yours you can sho Karmen how it works. I will leave you two alone ,so you can have your girl chat."

Leaning forward he pecked her lips and

headed down stairs to get the Jeep .He also

checked to see if Jackson had came back yet. He wondered if Jackson was successful in getting any information from Lady Elizabeth about that creep Dallas Thompson.

Meanwhile back in the Castle the two girls set down on the sofa to chat for a few minutes before Karmen's luggage

Arrived."Lexi King Alexander seems really nice, are you truly in love with him?"

She wasn't surprised by Karmen's question because she hasn't been here very long.

Wanting to reassure her best friend, she patted her on the knee, telling her how she feels about Alex."I am ,He's my world , he is so thoughtful and sweet , when I first started talking to Alex I thought he was smokin hot, and I never dreamed he would be so kind and loving.He put so much thought into picking out the right engagement ring for me. It just blows me away the things he does for me .Oh! , I forgot you haven't seen my ring." Holding her hand out in front of her, she wiggled her fingers "isn't it beautiful?"

Karmen grabbed Lexi's hand to take a closer look at the rare red diamond fire and ice ring .Breathlessly she gushed at the site of the rare red diamond. "It's just gorgeous, I have read about the fire and ice ring and seen a pictures of it in books,but I didn't think it would be this beautiful. You are so lucky ."

"And it's not just my ring, Alex always puts a lot of thought into everything he does for me ."

Karmen hugged her best friend, she sighed "I'm glad you found your true love. You and Alex make a beautiful couple, it looks as though you two were born just to be together." She placed her tiny little hand on her hip as she flipped her hair behind her shoulder, sounding like a true haughty debutant. "Oh! Do you remember ,I told you that I broke up with Brandon .

"Yes, But you never told me what happened."

"You know how he was a control freak. Well, that crap was hard enough to deal with. But then I caught him cheating on me with his nurse."

Surprised by what her beautiful best friend just said, she can't believe that Karmen's possessive ex boyfriend would cheat on her. How dare that damm man ,being a little angry hearing this she grumbled."No damm way Karmen, I'm glad you kicked his crazy ass to the curb. "

" That crazy bastard wanted to give me a boob job. And I'm not talking about one or two cup sizes bigger, he wanted to give me those freakishly huge boobs. I just had enough of his crap. But now I think he is stalking me,"

Before she could ask karmen any questions about this crazy ex boyfriend stalking her .There was a knock on the door , Lexi stepped forward to open it.

Immediately greeted by Julie , Beth and a man bringing Karmen's luggage.

"Good afternoon Princess Alexis, his Majesty said your friend needed help."

With a quicken voice she invited everyone inside " yes , yes please come in I will introduce you ."

Karmen made her way over to where they stood and Lexi starts her interdiction. "Julie, Beth this is my best friend her name is Karmen Boyett ."

Karmen reached her hand out for Julie to shake and in a charming voice said

" it's very nice to meet the both of you."

Karmen saw the man with her suitcases and politely said " sir that pink suitcase is the one I'm talking with me tonight. You can just leave it beside the door ."

Beth scurried off putting Karmen's things away. While Julie offered her assistance, "Miss Boyett if you need anything during your visit here at the Castle, I'm the head maid ,Prince Jackson has my phone number he can contact me directly.He is staying in the room next to you. If I'm already assisting Princess Alexis, I will send Beth , she is very efficient ."

"Thank you Julie, that's very kind of you."
