Chapter Eight

Laci and Honey weren’t in the room yet. I shrugged out of my dress, set an alarm at six, and went to sleep with a smile on my face.

Beep! Beep! Beep! My eyes opened and I turned off my alarm. I stretched, that was probably the best nights sleep I have ever had. I looked over to see Laci and Honey fast asleep. I ran into the bathroom and took a long bubble bath.

When I was out I went into the closet and began to choose my clothes. I ended up picking some dark denim jeans, a red layered tank top, and a sleeveless denim jacket, with some red high top converse. I fixed my hair and my makeup.

I walked out to check the time and it was six fifty-nine. The clock turned to seven and I heard a knock on the door. I giggled. I pulled the door open.

“You’re up.” He chuckled. “I thought you would be asleep.” 

“I got up early for once.” I laughed.

“You look nice today.” She gave me a small smile.  

“You look very handsome yourself.” I winked at him. He was wearing a black dress shirt, dark jeans, and some black Jordans.

“Thank you.” He smiled wider. We walked to the dining room and saw Prince Alexander and Prince Adan sitting there waiting. I bowed and they stood. Theo pulled out my chair and when I was seated they all sat down. 

“Hello Crissy.” Prince Alexander told me.

“Hello Prince Alexander.” I smiled

“When we are here as friends we can be on a first name basis, it’s only when we are around other people and my mother or father.” Adan smiled. 

“That’s good to know.” I giggled.

“Where are your sisters?” Adan asked. 

“They are asleep; we are never up this early.” I grinned. They all chuckled and a maid began to bring us food. By the time breakfast was over Laci and Honey were awake and downstairs. 

Honey looked kind of odd. I walked up to them and hugged them tight. Honey gave me a tight hug and wouldn’t let me go. 

“What’s wrong Honey?” I asked her. She felt so weak in my arms. 

“He didn’t want to date me anymore,” she was full on crying now. I patted her back.

“What are you talking about?” I was confused.

“Neil didn’t want to date me because you and Laci weren’t dating Ayden and Carlos. They wouldn’t let him date me and he dumped me!” she slipped out of my arms and fell to the ground. She just lay there motionless. 

“Honey get up please.” I grabbed her arms and pulled her up. Alexander stood next to me ready to catch her if she fell. “I’m going to take her to the room.” I told them. Laci put her arm around Honey and we dragged her to our room. We set her down on her bed and she curled up into a ball. 

“I can’t believe that. Can he really be that shallow?” I asked Laci. She nodded and sat down next to Honey. 

We spent the whole day locked in the room waiting for Honey to feel better. After she finally fell asleep we joined her. Days went by and she still wasn’t feeling better. 

Honey and Neil had been dating for four years. Their relationship was almost perfect. One simple excuse and it was all over. Four years gone. They have been dating since eighth grade. Honey wasn’t used to being alone. 

I was still in denial about Ayden. He didn’t know what he was doing he was just mad. In my heart I knew that once we were on a plane back to Utah he would ask me to forgive him and I would. I didn’t want to think I would never be with him, he just needed time and I was willing to give him some. Even though I kissed Prince Theodore I knew he would forgive me.

Thinking about it made me want to cry. I tried to think about something else but I couldn’t. What if we didn’t get back together? How would it feel like to see him with someone else? I covered my face with the sheets and began to cry. Why? 

A week flew by faster than I thought! Before I knew it we had a daily routine we followed. We got to ride horses along the huge fields, we went swimming in a lake in the middle of nowhere, we got to try a lot of new food, and most importantly we started getting closer to the Royals. Princess Averill was going accustom to us and soon enough we all went shopping together. The mall we went to was a huge out door mall. I was just like City Creek but ten times bigger and better. 

Laci was getting close to Adan. By the way they were flirting you could tell soon enough they would become a “thing”. Honey was slowly getting close to Alexander, slowly. I could tell she liked him, but she still wasn’t over Neil. Plus the whole dating game was new to her. Theodore would ignore me most of the time and he would rarely flirt with me. I wasn’t angry or anything. I just flt out of the loop.

Days passed by and soon enough Laci and Adan were secretly dating. Well that’s what I thought. They would always hang out and would always want to be alone together. When confronted the only thing comeing out of their mouths were excuses. Everyone assumed, but none were quixk to judge. 

Honey and Alexander looked like best friends. They were inseperable, if Honey went somewhere Alexander was right behind her. They would flirt all of the time and would always act like a couple.The ony thing that was stopping was that they weren’t official yet.

Theodore and I were okay. We would rarely flirt and talk about normal stuff. It was nothing compared to my sisters though. Deep down I hoped I would get to be with him. Not because my sisters were possibly dating his brothers, but because i felt normal and happy when I was with him. He made me feel special and i liked that. I knew that wouldn’t happen because I still really liked Ayden. 

The days ticked by and soon enough Honey and Adan got closer than ever. It got to the point where Theodore had to talk to me; well that’s how I saw it. We were always left alone and he would always look less interested when I would talk to him. Something about the way he has been acting made me feel like he was trying to push me away. 

I began to give up and I’m pretty sure he noticed. When Theodore and I were left alone I would excuse myself, or make plans with Rita.

“Look, I did not mean to be a jerk.” He walked over to me. I had been sitting in the garden looking at the plants. “I just had a bad relationship and I am not sure I can move on.” He looked hurt. So it wasn’t me.

“Oh, it’s alright, I guess.” I gave him a fake smile and he sighed.

“I do like you.” He caught me off guard. “I do its taking all my strength not to kiss you right now.” He grinned. I began to laugh, so he was trying to push me away.
