My day with the King and Queen of Italy
It all started out with my mother and I. We were simply having a disagreement on what I was going to wear to attend a ball . I wanted to wear un bel vestido(a pretty dress). I love Italian so I would learn new words or phrases whenever I was not helping my mother out in the fields. Anyway my lovely mother commanded me to put on la gonna e camicetta(skirt and blouse), that she bought for me to go to the ball with. Soon enough I got tired of arguing with her and I just decided to go for a walk. On the way back from my walk, I noticed someone staring at me , it was as if he was literally trying to pierce his way into my soul, but with his eyes. I finally caught his eye and smiled, he then winked at me and I blushed. I didn’t know if it was to “play hard to get(as my sister says)or just simply go up and talk to him, but I would need to be very brave and I was not brave, I was very shy! I did not take that long to make up my mind, it was like two, three seconds tops, when I looked back up, I saw that he was already half-way towards me, I quickly tried to neaten my hair and straighten my clothes, for he looked really cute, little did I know that I was in for a Royal Treatment. As he came up to me, he started off by telling me his name. He introduced himself as Prince Joshua Kyle Mc conney, son of King Edward and Carmen, Elizabeth, Juanita, Costa-Brava, Cortez, Mc conney. Then he asked me what was my name, and I told him that to only expect three names and he laughed with his boyishly-charming voice. I told him that my name was Alyssa Theresa Oliveire, and then he took my hand, kissed it and said why don’t I call you Bella(beautiful) instead, and not thinking at first (because I know exactly what the word meant) so I threw his hand down, and stormed off down the hill, trying to find the path, for it became dark so I could not see my way. Prince Joshua came running behind me, trying to explain that it means beautiful, and I tried to ignore him but I failed epically; We talked on our way down the pathway, well he talked, I mostly listened. He told me that I was the only one allowed to call him Joshua, because I made him feel normal and he found that it was a girly name, so I convinced him that it wasn’t a girly name and that it was very manly. Anyway, he went on to say something that would make no complete sense at all, if I did not know a little bit of Italian. ”Dove abiti la mia bella?”(where do you live, my beautiful)he charmingly asked me. I told him” Giùpper la colinna e valle oltre il largo, e l’ultima casa a sinistra(down the hill, in the valley pass the lake and the last house on the left). I basically said it in Italian to impress him. Unfortunately Joshua did not notice, for he was worrying so much that it was dark and a beautiful woman like me, should not be out with no one to protect me from any thieves or bandits. I was kind of what you say day-dreaming, so I just said what was on the tip of my tongue, which was, I always have you to protect me, and for a second there, I thought that he was blushing. The next moment it hit me, how was I going to reach home, my mother and father would be so worried about me. Eventually, Joshua persuaded me to be calm by wrapping his strong and warm arms around me, but I got kind of delusional so he just held my hand instead. Soon enough, he told me that I would have to be staying in his house, but his parents could not find out that I was there. We came to a sudden halt, when I asked why, he said jokingly, ”Did you expect me to make you walk all the way there?”, and I returned jokingly, ”No I expected you to carry me!”. That line set him off, he ran towards me playfully and lifted me up and spun me around, the both of us eventually fell on the grass and laughed about it. I was going to get up when Joshua turned to me and took my face gently in his hands, looked into my eyes as if it were a doorway straight to my soul and said ”Alyssa, mia bella(my beautiful), alas I have never felt this way before, I think that I have fallen for you, please don’t leave me, don’t go!” “Choose me, over all of the others that have chosen your heart, I want to be yours, take me!” While talking, he knelt down, and my heart skipped a beat. He asked me who I was choosing, and I was to stunned to even breathe, so he stood up and again took my face in his big, strong, gentle hands and he inclined his face towards mine and kissed me passionately but yet still gently. “Please, please choose me!” , Joshua begged. He picked me up from the ground, took my hand and lead me towards una bella carrozza trainata da cavalla(a beautiful horse-drawn carriage). “Is this for us….um I mean, is this for you?”, I sputtered out. “Il mio amore, certo che è per noi. Lei mi ha scelto, ricordare!?!(my love, of course it is for us, you chose me, remember?)” Joshua helped me inside and then got himself into nel carrello(the carriage). “Vi ringrazio sempre così gentile, il mio protettore!(I thank you ever so kindly, my protector) “ , I blurted out and hugged him, but quickly jerked away. “Perchè ci si allontana. È vero che tu non mi ami, quanto ti amo. Avvicinarsi per favoure il mia Tesoro?(why do you move away? Is it that you do not love me as much as I love you? Come closer please, my darling)” he spoke so softly, that it was barely a whisper. As we arrived, dawn broke, e la carrozza tirò a un punto morto(and the carriage jerked to a standstill), so it threw us out of our seats, and I fell asleep, so that with that jerk, I got up. He pulled me out of the carriage so fast, that the food I ate the day before I, well ran away, was about to come back. I was kind of pissed at him, but I could not stay angry at him for very long, he just has to look at me and I’d melt in his arms, but when I turned to my left, the view that I saw, had me shut my mouth instantly and stand back in awe. We made it safely into the castle, without anyone seeing us. Joshua escorted me quickly down the enormous hallway, but sadly we ran straight into the King and Queen. Joshua started to fumble, but I stepped in for him and said that I was lost and he found me and when he asked me where I lived, I told him but he did not know the place so he brought me here, and he would drop me tomorrow, but on the journey here, we fell in love and I won’t ever leave his side. ”Neither would I!” Joshua vowed and pulled his long arms around my waist. “Interesting!” the King said sternly “why don’t you join us for dinner, um… what did you say your name is?”. “Il mia nome è Alyssa Theresa Oliveire” I announced proudly to them. Che è un bel nome(that is a beautiful name), the Queen said to me. Ringrazio la mia regina(thank you my Queen) I told her.
