Crazy king

Working as fast as she could Harper striped the bed,folding the big fluffy comforter and placing it to the side doing the same with the fluffy blanket underneath.

She then reached for the sheets to pull them lose from the mattress. Jerking them up forcefully causing air to be caught between the sheet and the bed.

Which formed a slight breeze carrying her exotic heavenly sent across the room to where king Evander set at the old mahogany deck. Immediately his head

snapped up and a low groan escaped from his wicked red lips. His hands gripping the arm rest on the chair so tight the wood cracked.

Startled by the sound of the wood cracking Harper jumped. Throwing the sheet into the air stumbling over the wheel of her cart .She fell backwards with her arms failing in the air ,squealing out in panic she squeezed her eyes shut bracing herself for the pain to follow.

However that didn't happen before she landed on her bottom in the floor two strong arms caught her in mid air.

Her failing hand smacked her savior in the eye causing him to wince in pain.

" Ahi... Be still I've got you" King Evander called out as he pushed her back onto her feet and rubbed his redden eye.

Glancing up at the powerful King that she had just smacked in the eye she hurried to turn around to apologize

" Oh, ...Oh, ..Your Majesty ..I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hit you. Please let me get you an ice pack." She stammered ,turning to dash out the door only to be caught by the wrist before she could take a step towards the exit.

" I think I'll be fine."

Bowing her head she nervously apologized again . " I'm truly sorry Your Majesty and I thank you for saving me from falling .

Stepping back to look at the little witch in front of the him a devilish smile curled on his lips. " Truly sorry ,and thankful" he hummed " Would you be willing to show me how thankful you truly are." He raised a brow.

She gulped, " Uh..u.Uh.. what ... I. mean how Your Majesty." She stammered, with a million thoughts going through her head.

Surely he wasn't asking her to have sex with him right here in his room. Was he?? Her eyes went wide and her face turned red she wiggled her hand desperately trying to pull it away from him.

After reading her mind he chuckled

" By going out on a date with me tonight. What did you think I was talking about? He smiled ,offering her a slight bow.

" Bu... But Your Majesty I can't do that"

She stutters nervously.

" And why not, is it because you have another date?" He ask ,narrowing his eyes down on her as if he was daring her to lye to him.

" No.. No Your Majesty it's nothing like that. I have to work tonight. " she explained but didn't know why she did. But for some reason it just felt like she should.

He smiled, " I'm sure I can speak to King Alexander and he will be happy to give you the night off."

"I don't mean here at the Castle Your Majesty. I have another job too at a restaurant in town."

" And may I ask why are you working so hard." King Evander ask confused thinking about what he read in her file .She still lived at home with her father and grandmother so why would she be working two jobs.

" Because I will be starting my classes at the University in the fall and will need to concentrate on my studies." She babbled and tugged on her hand trying to get it lose from his grasp .

As she continued explaining things to him for no apparent reason. "So I plan to only work a few hours a week here at the Castle, and quite my other job. I have already spoke to his Majesty about it and he said it would be ok."

" I see ,what time do you get off work ? I will pick you up from there." He said, not giving her any other choice but to expect the date.

Needing to get back to work before she gets in trouble she sighed " I work at Gabby's until nine, but I really don't know where you plan to go that late at night and my curfew is at midnight."

" That's fine, I wouldn't want you to get into any trouble at home. So where should I take you, perhaps out to dinner or a movie."

" Yes that's fine, but Your Majesty, I really need you to let go of my hand so that I can

finish my work before I get into trouble." She pleaded,

" Oh, yeah,"he shook his head to clear his mind "of course forgive me , I wouldn't want you to get into trouble because I have detained you. Just leave the sheets with me and I will make my own bed" He said, releasing her hand and taking a step back from her.

She blinked ," Are you sure you know how?"

He chuckled, " Of course, I know how darling. Now hand them to me and you run along."

Troubled and confused by the thoughts running through her mind and the strange behavior of this Crazy King she hurried to stuff the used sheets inside the laundry hammer on her cart .Placing a set of clean ones in his hands, bowing her head excusing herself from the room.
