Our Little Secret

Kade (5)

I didn't sleep to well last night. I was so anxious about taking to the king and queen and meeting everyone. Well mostly Roman. I woke up around 12 which gave me just enough time to get ready.

I put on a black suit with a white undershirt. Once I got ready, I texted Jason and asked him if he was coming. He told me he wasn't going to and I said it was fine. Jess showed up to my house around one and we left around 1:30.

We decided to leave early. Jess couldn't wait. It was really awkward between us. The last time I saw her she was under me but she's clearly over me and I've never been into her so it was fine.

As we drive there my mind wanders off. What if Roman and I have alone time? I won't be able to handle myself. I would want to just rip his clothes off. But I'm here to make a deal with the palace. So that's what I'm going to focus on. Or at least try.

I hear Jess shift in her seat. I look over at her and sigh. I decide I should say something.

"Are you nervous at all?" I asked in a deep husky voice.

"I am a little. But Jason promised me money since technically you guys are using me. So then again I'm not that nervous." She responds.

"Just don't embarrass us. Or you can kiss that money goodbye." I say.

She looks away from me and stares out the window. I do feel bad about how rude I am but I'm not going to lose sleep over it. I look out my window. The streets look clean. You can definitely tell this is the rich side. That's when I see the palace. My heart starts to speed up.

The driver pulls up to the gates and they open.

"We're here. Leave your bags their maids will grab them." He says with no emotion.

I grab my stuff anyways and let Jess go in before me. Before I walk in I look up at the top of the palace. I will say, it is beautiful.

As we walk in I can hear everyone at the entrance. I look around inside. It was very nicely decorated. As I'm looking side to side, my eyes find its way to Roman. We lock eyes for a good 30 seconds and he breaks it by clearing his throat.

I look away and hear him say,

"Jess, it's wonderful to meet you."

Him and Jess hug when we look at each other again. I nod my head and he does the same. I look over to the queen and I take her hand and kiss it.

"It's very lovely meeting you miss." I say with a light smile.

"Please, call me Gwendolyn or Gwen." She says with a smile.

I look over to the king and shake his hand.

"I appreciate you meeting Jess your majesty." I say with a more serious tone.

"I appreciate you driving all this way. Please call me Charles." He says.

I nod my head and look towards Roman again.

"Roman, go bring his stuff up to one of the rooms. Mr. Harris you may follow him." Charles says.

"Please call me Kade." I say following Roman.

Great. Just what I need alone time with him. I will just have to keep in mind that I'm here so he meet his possible wife.

"Umm here you can take this room. Or if you want I can get you a different one. I don't mind. Is it big enough for you? Gosh your one person it should be. I mean that will all respect." He goes on.

Oh my god. It took me a minute to realize but he's nervous. Nervous to meet me. This sparks an idea. Teasing people. My strong suit.

"Roman." I say in a deep husky voice cutting him off.

He gulps.

"Yes Kade." I could see the panic in his eyes.

"This room is fine. Now I do have to talk with your parents." I walk closer to him.

We're so close we could kiss. I stare at his lips wondering what they would look like if-

"I'm gonna go downstairs I'll see you around." I whisper leaning into his ear.

As I walk out I look behind me. He's frozen in place. I'm glad to know that he's nervous. Maybe he feels the same way as me. Either way, I'm going to mess with him until he confesses. And if he doesn't then I will know how he feels about me.

I walk downstairs and I'm greeted by a maid. She tells me her name is Mathea and told me to go meet the king and queen in the dining room. I hear Roman walking down the stairs and i glance behind me. He looks at me and I turn around and continue walking.

I see Charles sitting at the head of the table and I nod my head. He tells me to sit and i do. I look over to Gwen. Charles starts speaking.

"Kade, I don't want to waste any of our times. I've been noticing some of your work here in the country. You might live a few hours away but word travels fast. I actually have some of my guards in your mafia." He says looking at me.

This catches my attention. How could I have not known. That means whoever it was, was reporting it back to the king. This makes my stomach turn. I do some brutal things to people.

"With that being said..." he says cutting my thoughts off.

"I was wondering if you would want to join forces." He says cutting to the point.

My head shoots up at him. I laugh slightly.

"I'm sorry I don't mean to laugh but I actually was going to ask you the same thing. Which is pretty funny. I guess we just have a similar mindset." I say.

Gwen is smiling ear to ear. I hear Charles chuckle.

"I guess we do. I think we will make excellent partners." He says.

Roman joins us at the table.

"Kade would you like to tell him the news or should
I?" Charles says.

"Oh I would be happy to." I say smirking.

"What is it?" Roman questions, avoiding looking at me.

"Well let's just say you will be seeing a lot more of me." I say straightening my suit.

Romans face drains of all the color it had. I slightly laugh at this. He forces a chuckle.
