The Ball of Balls

Chapter 19

Robert was grumbling on his balcony. This party was even more stupid than he had imagined. There were no interesting princesses and in a minute he had to sit at the table with Samantha, the princess of BBC, Charlotte, the mambo dancer, and Stuart, the awkward lad. Robert's mom, named Yolanda, walked to him and said: ''It is not easy, I know..''

''No, I don't get why a big ball like this has to be organized to find me a princess,'' Robert answered.

''Or a prince of course! I don't judge...'' Yolanda said with a broad smile.

''A prince?'' Stuart said interested. He had come secretly to the balcony. Robert sighed deeply because of his presence. Behind Stuart stood Rebecca and she said: ''Sire, it's time for dinner.''

''I am coming...'' Robert said and he gave his mother a hug.

''My highness, can I guide you off the stairs?'' Stuart asked while offering his arm.

''I prefer to fall from the stairs,'' Robert said while walking past Stuart.

Yolanda waived after Robert and then looked at Stuart, who was looking back with a pedoface.

''Oh, Stuart. Do you remember Wade's Ball of Balls? I was so in love with him. But you wanted to dance with me all the time, so I couldn't talk to him much. When he finally asked me to dance, relieving you, I was so very happy,'' Yolanda said, totally up in the clouds.

''And I was that happy too,'' Wade said, Robert's father and king of the Land of Winchats, who also had come to the balcony. Yolanda and Wade hugged each other. Stuart stood just a bit too close to make it uncomfortable.

''What are you looking at?'' Wade said, while pushing Stuart's face away. ''Too the dining room you! We have guests to receive!'' He screamed bossy and Stuart ran down the stairs. Stuart tripped and fell in the arms of Samantha.

''Look at this, Charlotte, a silly lad falls in my arms. How dare he?'' Samantha said, before dropping Stuart on the ground. Charlotte stepped over Stuart and walked hand in hand with Samantha to the dining hall. Stuart's eyes were full of admiration. He wiped the drool on his mouth with his sleeve.

''Oh look! There is prince Robert!'' Charlotte said, while pointing at one of the tables. Robert was surrounded by all kinds of princesses.

''Oh, there is no room left next to him...'' Charlotte said sadly.

''Then we make room next to him,'' Samantha said, while pushing the girls aside.

''Hello ladies. How are you?'' Robert said dryly.

''Goooooood,'' Samantha said with a flirting tone. Charlotte curled her hair in her fingers and tried to make her boobs look bigger. Stuart had made it to the dinner table too and said nervously: ''I-I-I think I'm a-a-also supposed to sit at this t-table.''

''Good for you,'' Samantha said, not interested. ''So, Robert, you are looking for a new princess? What are you looking for in a woman?'' She pouted her lips.

Robert thought for a moment and said: ''A real companion, who I can call a mate.''

''And full breasts I presume?'' Samantha said, while Stuart got a deja vu from one of his wet dreams.

''Hmm.. that couldn't hurt,'' Robert said flirty. ''But the person is important to me, I don't like-'' suddenly Robert was interrupted by clinking glass. Robert looked to the other table and said that Yolanda had stood up to give a speech. Everyone in the room became silent.

''We welcome you all to: THE BALL OF BALLS!'' Yolanda shouted through the room with an enthusiastic voice. ''May my sweet son, Robert, find his true love tonight!''

Wade stood up too and winked at Charlotte and Samantha. ''Today our son will become a man!'' he exclaimed loudly.

''Dad, you're embarrassing me...'' Robert said.

''Time for the appetizers!'' the french cook named Fleur shouted. Fleur started handing out little bowls of salad, soup and bread baskets.

''Stuart, did you check the guest list? I think one guest didn't show up,'' Rebecca said. Stuart grabbed the list from his pocket and said: ''That's right. Let's hope that they will come later.''

Stuart walked around the table, sat down opposite of Robert and said: ''I will keep their place occupied for now.'' That comment made nobody happier.

''Robert got his appetizer from Fleur. He wanted to take a bite, but saw that Stuart was looking intently at him.

''Dude, why are you giving me that awkward look?'' Robert said to Stuart. Fleur walked past them with a ladle and hit Stuart with it. She said: ''No food for the staff, Stuart, non non.''

''You may have a bite from me,'' Charlotte said. Stuart turned completely red and passed out.
