How about yourself

" Hum, I think I can see what your goals are now , you're working hard this summer so that you can devote most of your time to your school work this fall." King Evander replied

"Yes, that's what my plan is, now if you will excuse me Your Majesty I really need to get back to work." She smiled politely, standing up from her seat. As she gathered up all the trash from the table he stood up as well. They stared walking back towards the castle when they approached the door ,King Evander reached for the handle and pulling it open for her to enter.

Her eyes widened as she stood frozen in place she whispered ." Your Majesty, what are you doing, I can't enter before you."

" And just why not, if it's your job you're worried about don't. He smiled, as he placed his hand on her lower back to guide her forward. " I can assure you King Alexander will not say anything about it."

She hesitated a moment, looking left and right before stepping inside the castle in front of him.

Once inside she bowed " Your Majesty , if you will allow me to accompany you to your room so that you can change your shirt. I will clean it and hang it back up in your closet this afternoon when I delivered the rest of guest laundry to the other rooms."

" Certainly darling, he grinned as they headed down the hallway towards the service elevator she tried to slow her pace not to walk next to him.

After noticing what she was doing he paused his steps waiting for her to catch up" Come now darling" he ordered, in a deep commanding voice.

When she caught up he scolded her"Don't ever walk behind me, every woman should walk beside her man."

His words took her by surprise and her brows knitted together as she watched the crazy king through the conner of her eye, thinking she must have misunderstood what he just said.

When they reached the elevator she pushed the button for the door to open and they both stepped inside. He leaned back against the handrail and she stood beside the control panel reaching her hand forward she pushed the button to the third floor.

When the elevator started moving King Evander broke the silence between to ease the heavy atmosphere inside the elevator "Harper, you know I'm not from around here, so if there's some place you would like to go tonight we can surely do that." He politely said.

" Any place is fine Your Majesty, just as long as it's not formal." She replied

"Van," he reminded ,waving his hand across the space in the elevator. " We are alone here in the elevator darling."

She glanced around the elevator at the empty space then back up at him , and smiled "Please forgive me Van."

"That's quite alright darling, after tomorrow night I will no longer be a guest at your work place and you will get used to calling me by my name."He stated, only to see her expression change.

The smile slipped from her face the moment he said those words. She ask herself ,what did he just say, he must be joking right??? He doesn't even live around here. How on earth is she ever going to get used to calling him by his name. Does he plan to keep calling her on the phone maybe write her letters like a pen pal. She ask herself.

She was spaced out thinking about what he meant by what he just said . But he kept babbling on about their date she had been trapped into tonight. She wondered if this damm crazy king has lost his mind. What the hell was he even thinking. It's not like he can come back every day to see her.

She brushed his crazy words to the back of her mind and continued to smile politely nodding her head in agreement ." I'm sure that will help."

" We can work on it tonight darling. Jackson suggested a couple of restaurants down by the river front .The Hanger and Crazy Joe's. Is either one of those places somewhere you might like to go."

" Crazy Joe's is fine, the Hanger can get a little wild. That place is where a lot of people make their last stop after they have been out bar hoping all night." She paused when another thought ran through her mind.

One so immoral that it made made a chill run down her spine and she shivered " Are you good friends with Prince Jackson also?"

" Well yes ,I am, Actually I'm well acquainted with both King Alexander and Prince Jackson. I have known their family for years. He smiled

Cautiously she glanced up at him, and even though they were the only two people inside the elevator she whispered " So, your a vampire too."

" Something like that darling, how about yourself." He Chuckled, as if it was a joke but he truthfully wondered what spices she considered herself. He even listen to her thoughts to see if they drifted off to her witch ancestry finding it odd that she truthfully only considered herself to be human.

"I..I'm a human." She stammered

"So do you have something against vampires?"

" No, No Not at all, it's just your age." She howled, while shaking her head around wildly in a half circle.

" What's my age got to do with anything darling? You are a legal adult aren't you?"He asked,as if didn't already know she just turned eighteen.

" Well yes I am, but you said you were older then His Majesty King Alexander and he's like twenty years older then me."

" Handsome young man it's he." He smiled devilishly.

" What?"

" King Alexander, the man you work for , he's handsome don't you think?"

"Y....Yeah, Yeah I guess why are you asking me if I think King Alexander is handsome." She stammered out frustrated

"Well darling, it has to do with what you were talking about. King Alexander maybe twenty years older then you . However Princess Alexis is only three years older than you. Age is just a number it has nothing to do with love."
