Lance and I spent hours playing on his Xbox and as you can guess I sucked at it. After he won yet again, he asked if I wanted a drink of water.

"Thanks," I said when he gave me a glass.

"No problem." He smiled.

"So what's taking Katherine so long?"

"I'm not sure. Maybe she's hanging out with her girlfriend?"

I looked over at him and he began laughing.

"I'm kidding. Calm down."

I rolled my eyes. "Okay, so what about you then? Any love interests?"

"Yes, actually."

I waited for him to say more but he was completely silent.

"Well, who is he? What's he like?"

"His name is Cole and he's amazing. We just don't get to see each other much anymore."

"I'm sorry. That must be tough."

"It is." He sighed.

The front door suddenly flew open.

"Alright, princess it's time to go home. Like now." Katherine said.

"Well, it's just lovely to see you too Katherine. We had a great time thanks for asking." I said in response.

"Okay, great. Whatever. Lance, you should come too."

"Why?" He asked.

"Don't question it. Let's just go."

I stood up now sensing her urgency.

"Katherine are you okay?" I asked.

"Look who's suddenly interested in me." She smirked.

"I've always been interested." The words left my mouth before I realized.

When I saw an adorable blush on Katherine's face I continued in a panic.

"I-in your safety that is." I stuttered.

"Nice save." Lance teasingly whispered.

"Anyway! We were leaving right?" I said as I bolted out the doors.

Katherine followed closely behind as did Lance.

"How have you and your dad been getting along?" Lance asked taking a seat on the couch opposite from me and Katherine.

"Pretty good despite only being here like two days. It feels like I've been here forever."

"That's good." He nodded.

"Yeah, and he said tomorrow was going to be our father-daughter bonding day."

"What a joyous day that will be." A voice spoke.

I looked towards the doorway to see my father smiling happily.

"Hey, dad. What are you up to?"

"I have to go get a few things. Lance, why don't you come with me? I could use your help." He said.

Lance got up. "Of course sir."

"Looks like it's just us now." Katherine smiled as we heard the front door shut.

She had been unusually quiet until now.

I turned towards her. "Guess so."

"What would the princess like to do?"
