Not Your Typical Princess:Selection Fanfiction (COMPLETE)

Chapter 41

Charlie POV:
"Charlie," I feel someone shake me awake. "Char, wake up." I open my eyes to see Chase.
"Hey," I say.
"Hey, Xander leaves soon." She says brushing my hair away from my eyes.
I nod, "okay."
"Miss?" I turn to see my maid, Suzy. "Can I get you ready?"
I nod, "yea, sure."
"I'll see you in a little bit then." Chase kisses my cheek, "it's going to be okay... You know that right?"
She is talking about Xander, "yea... I know."
Chase gets up off the bed, "see you."
I hear the water running in the bathroom, "Miss Charlie?" Suzy asks.
"Coming."
"I made the bath hot miss, I thought you could use it." She says.
I hug her, "thank you."
Suzy has been my maid since I was little, she is like an older sister to me. "You're welcome miss."
I climb into the bath and sit in the hot water, Suzy sits on the edge of the bath. "You doin' okay miss?" She asks.
"No, I'm going to miss Xander so much."
"I know miss, but you'll see him next month," she says rubbing shampoo into my hair.
"I just hate being away from him. I see him for a week then we say goodbye all over again..."
"I know it must be hard, but it's worth it... Love it worth anything."
I turn around and study for face, "who are you in love with?"
She blushes, "no one..."
"Suzy! Tell me!" I laugh. She opens her mouth to respond, "it wasn't an order." I stop her.
"I know. His name is... Gram."
"Gram..." I think for a moment, "you mean my guard?"
She nods her head and blushes as she rinses my hair.
I laugh, "cute! But no making out on my bed." I jokingly command.
She laughs, "yes miss."
Once we are done I get out of the tub and change into my dress for the day. It's navy blue with pink flowers on it, it hits my mid thigh, I match it with sparkly silver shoes. (Pictured above)
"It's beautiful," I say. "Thank you."
"Your mother told me that you might like a dress like this." She then whispers, "I think Xander will too." I giggle and nod.
I walk out and whisper to Gram, "have fun with Suzy... Just not on my bed please."
He laughs, and takes Suzy's hand, "yes miss."
"Charlie!" I turn to see Chase, "let's walk down together." She is wearing a maxi skirt with a crop top, a little bit of her stomach is showing. The skirt is navy and her top is black.
"You look really cute," I say.
"Thanks. Xander is going to love your dress."
"Right?" I laugh.
When we get to where the plane is taking off, Xander sees my dress and grins at me. I run over to him and jump into his arms, wrapping my arms around his neck.
I hear and click of cameras, but I don't care. "You look beautiful." He smiles as he sets me down.
"Thank you." I say. "I'm still waiting for my kiss."
He laughs and presses his lips to mine. More cameras take our picture.
My parents come out, when my dad sees what we are wearing his eyes go wide.
I hear some of the conversation between him and Chase, "don't you think your outfit is a little showy?"
"No," Chase says. "It covers more skin then Charlie's."
"Don't throw me into this!" I exclaim walking over to them, holding Xander's hand.
"Your dress is pretty short, don't you think?" Dad asks.
"Oh, hush." Mom says. "I think you look beautiful darling. Both of you do."
"Thanks." We say.
"Your majesty's, the plane is ready." The pilot says.
"Thank you." Xander says.
"Well, son it was good seeing you." My dad shakes his hand.
He hugs my mother and Chase, "see you soon." Chase says.
"Yea, see you in about 2 months." He says.
He takes my hand and leads me away from my family, "I know this is hard but I'll see you soon." He brushes a pice of hair out of my face.
My tears are falling down my face, "I wish you didn't have to go."
"I know my dear, but I'll see you next month when you fly out. Then the month after when I fly here." He kisses my forehead. "Don't cry, I hate seeing you cry." He wipes my tears away.
"I love you." I say.
"I love you too," he presses his lips to mine.
"Sir," the pilot says.
"Yes, one minute." Xander says.
I wrap my arms around him, he hugs me back. He kisses the top of my head, "I love you and I'll see you soon."
"I love you too." I say, he kisses my lips one last time then walks up the stairs.
I wave to him, he waves back and walks into the plane.
My tears fall down my face. "Charlie?" I feel a strong hand on my shoulder.
"Daddy," I wrap my arms around him.
"It's okay darling." He says, hugging me tight.
We have to get off of the runway so the plane can take off. I wave to him one last time and we head inside.
