Everything Darling

Out on the east side of the castle Harper set down at the table still apologizing for throwing her soda on king Evander " Your Majesty, I'm truly sorry. but you startled me. I wasn't really expecting you to come." Harper babbled on only to see the sneaky King quirk a brow.

" Hum, and why would you think such a thing Darling " He smirked, she truly amused him with her thoughts of him being a danger to Alex and the Princess.

" W...Well I don't see any reason you would want to set in the sun and eat lunch with part of the cleaning staff."She stammered

" Am I not the one who ask if I could take you to lunch." He ask, as he read her mind to see if she was going to speak honestly with him or keep her guard up around him.

" Yes Your Majesty, but why" she ask, with her mind wondering off into a thousand different directions. Was he a spy or just some kind of jerk that had sex with maids just to amuse himself? She questioned in her mind as she waited for his reply.

" Why? Because I find you very attractive and I would like to get to know you." He said choosing his words carefully ,trying to ease her mind and make her trust him just a little.

However that didn't happen his words

made her even more suspicious . She question in her mind why he would want to get to know her when he was only visiting for a couple of days.

" Your Majesty, I believed it takes more than a couple of days to get to know someone."

" That's true darling, but every type of relationship needs to start some where rather it's a new acquaintance, friend or a lover. You never know until you get to know them better. And a good place to start is to associate yourself with that person." He reasoned ,Watching as she pondered his words setting silently with a blank expression on her innocent face.

Finally she shook her head asking herself what kind of double talk was that? Bringing her hand up she rubbed her brow , deciding what could it hurt to just go along with this Crazy king for the next two days. Just as long as he don't try anything fish everything would be okay ,right???

She sighed," I guess you're right, Your Majesty."

" Why don't we start by getting to know each other better then. Maybe we can start off by you calling me Van." He said, choosing the new nickname Jackson had given him because for some reason he liked how it sounded more informal and personal.

And he definitely had plans to get extremely personal with this young lady in the future.

"Uh...uh... Your Majesty, I'm not aloud to do that." She stammered

" And just why not. " he ask ,as if he didn't already know.

" Because Your Majesty, your a guest here in the Castle and that would be disrespectful of me." She hurried to explain

" I do understand your reluctance, and if I'm not mistaken you have probably been giving strict orders from King Alexander to address every guest in the Castle with their appropriate title.

" That's correct Your Majesty, and His Majesty King Alexander doesn't tolerate disrespect or discrimination of any kind."

" But Darling there's nobody out here except for the two of us and when we are alone there is no reason for you to call me Your Majesty." He said in a sexy sultry voice as he waved his head across the vast area of the garden void of anyone else's presence.

She sighed, "Okay if that is what you wish." She replied politely as if she was following a request from any outer guest in the castle.

He leaned back in the chair crossing his ankle over his knee coaxing her to continue the conversation " Good now like I said earlier I would like to get to know you better. So why don't you tell me about yourself."

" Like what would you like to know.?"

" Everything darling, for starters maybe your last name, where you live, your hobbies , what you like to do in your spare time,just anything about you." He said, surprising her by how serious he sounded when he said he wanted to get to know her.

If she didn't know he was leaving tomorrow night with the rest of the guest she would have believed he truly wanted to know more about her to start some type of relationship or something. But knowing this would be impossible she smiled politely answering only the questions he had ask her. "My last name is Roberts, and I live in a small subdivision right out side of the City ." She giggled, "Now my hobbies aren't very exciting I like archery and gardening. And as you see I really don't have much spare time, remember I've already told you I have two jobs."

"Yes darling, I do remember you telling me that. Now do tell me more about that why would a beautiful young lady such as yourself be working so hard during the summer instead of enjoying some time for yourself" He ask .

"Well Your Majesty"

" Van " he corrected.

"Uh..Van, like I said I'm saving money for

when I start back to school. I have a scholarship that pays for my classes but to keep it I need to keep a high grade point average. And I also plan to apply to law school. The law school here only excepts the students with the highest grade point average. So I only plan to work about twenty hours a week when I start back to school this fall."

"Hum, I see darling you are a very diligent young lady. It's rare to find someone who is willing to sacrifice all their free time for a long term goal." He complemented

I believe it's worth a small bit of my time. You see I plan to become a Children's rights lawyer and I think being a child's voice in court is way more important then hanging out up town with a bunch of people who's only interest is their clothes and partying." She explained
