After Jackson carried out his earlier plans of taking her on the shower wall. They quickly showered and stepped out into the bathrooms to complete their morning routine , they brushed their teeth, he shaved and she put her makeup on . He left her alone to dry her hair and stepped back into the bedroom to get dressed " shouting back over his shoulder before he closed the door " Babe what clothes do you want to wear?"

"My bikini and my cover up is in your bag ,I'll just wear that. I brought it just in case Lexi wanted to lay out. "She yelled over the roaring noise of the blow dry.

Closing the door behind him to block out that annoying blow dryer noise he stepped into the bedroom and grabbed his bag out of the closet quickly making his way back into the bathroom " Here Babe, just throw it back in the closet when get ready. I'm going to go make a pot of coffee."

" Ok, I will be done in a few minutes." She chirped ,turning the blow dry back on to finish drying her hair.

He sauntered off into the great room to make coffee. Meting Queen Victoria and King Charles upon his arrival. She had already made coffee and was in the kitchen area wearing a flowing beach cover up and making a breakfast casserole.

King Charles was setting at the table. Drinking a cup of coffee corresponding with one of his advisors at Whitley Castle on a laptop.

"Good Morning" Jackson greeted both of them.

" Good Morning "King Charles greeted, glancing up from his laptop briefly.

"Good morning darling." Queen Victoria greeted him cheerfully.

Strutting on over to the kitchen area he took a mug from the mug tree beside the coffee pot. He poured himself a cup of coffee , turning to face the table, he leaned against the counter crossing one of his long legs over top of the other at his ankles.

" Your up early this morning" Jackson commented.

" I thought l would surprise Lexi this morning with her favorite breakfast casserole."

" Lexi does love her food, I'm sure she will be ecstatic to have one of her favorites."

" I'm sure she will darling, I tried to teach her how to make it before Alex picked her up," she shook her head, sounding slightly disappointed "but as you know, Lexi's not very handy in the kitchen."

Jackson chuckled, " That's ok, Alex isn't ether, but he has a great chef at the Castle. If you send the recipe to my phone I will send it to her, and she will be happy to make it for Lexi."

" Are you sure she won't mind." Queen Victoria ask,sliding the baking dish into the oven, "it makes a large portion it would be a lot of trouble to make for only one person."

Jackson, pulled his coffee cup away from his lips, gulping the hot coffee down his throat, it was a bit painful to answer with the scalding hot liquid sliding down his throat. " I'm sure she won't mind, Karmen and I are staying in the castle right now. And the Kitchen staff takes a break after breakfast. I'm sure they would like to try it too."

King Charles closed his lap top eager to get to know the young prince that holds their families baby girls attention.

" Jackson, Do you and Karmen plan to move when you get married."

Jackson shook his head, " No, not right away. But hopefully we can move to my house in the city before Karmen starts back to school."

" Do you live close to the University?" King Charles ask curious to know more about the young man.

" Yeah, Actually the University is between my office and my house. Which will make it convenient for me and Karmen. I can ether follow her to the University or drop her off on my way to my office."

" Your office, What type of work do you do?"

" I have an investment firm. And I'm also a real estate developer."

King Charles raised a brow, he had heard about all the all the extraordinary renovations that had been done to all the old historic buildings in the north and all the wealth it had generated by attracting new restaurants and businesses to the area.

" So you're the talent behind all the historical renovations?"

Jackson chuckled, "Yeah, I guess you can say that, It was a joint effort, I'm also an advisor for Alex, I drew up the plans and the projected income potential and Alex approved a budget for it."

As Jackson was speaking Lexi and Alex walked down the stairs into the room. "Charles he's being to modest, the damm boys a genius."Alex's deep voice echoed through the large great room.

"I see," King Charles chuckled, " I expected no less from a man that's not intimidated by our Karmen's intelligence. But as protective as you and Alex seem to be I'm quite surprised that you're willing to let Karmen continue taking her classes at the University."

Jackson looked down into his coffee cup thinking about it a few moments before he answered. He didn't want to sound like a whipped puppy ,nether did want Karmen's family to think he was a possessive weirdo.

" Yeah, well Karmen loves school, and the medical school is actually separated from the main campus where all the all the usual rowdiness takes place. The medical students are more focused on their studies so it's pretty safe there."

Queen Victoria placed her hand on her chest, " that's comforting to know, Queen Victoria mummers, "I have always been worried to death about Karmen attending classes with all those ruffians ,she was just a baby when she started her freshman year."

"Momma, I'm sure Karmen enjoyed her college experience. I just wished you and dad would have let me go off to school."

"Sweetheart , I believe your mom and dad made the best decision for you ." Alex professed, " your situation was different, it could have been extremely dangerous for you to attend a University. Don't forget , your dad didn't just need to make decisions on what was best for you but also think about his kingdom. You are the Crown Princess remember, even Jackson and I was treated differently."
