The Queen

Chapter 7

"Did you check the event planner's propositions for the alliance ball?" Levi asked me from my desk.

It's currently 10:30 PM. Throughout the day we've been changing seats so that we don't melt our ass into one, due to all the work we've had. Right now I'm on the floor sitting crisscrossed with my laptop on the coffee table, papers surrounding me, while the couch is behind me being my back support.

Levi, on the other hand, is at my chair with his leg propped up the desk. He is chewing his pen with furrowed eyebrows.

"Nope, we can do that now," munching a fry from my dinner.

Louis came by to visit and dropped us our dinners since we've been stuck here all day long.

"Sure, check your email," He said back while typing. Levi stood up from the chair and stumbled a little bit. "Fucking ducks, my leg is cramping." He groaned, limping toward the couch.

He laid on the couch while I opened the email. We checked the whole document, changed some things, and added comments.

The event is going to be Saturday afternoon, meaning that they have two and a half days to prepare, but knowing the number of professionals and volunteers we have, there's nothing to worry about.

"So, they arrive at four and the event starts at five. We go with the normal protocol for the alliance; my arrival, the King's arrival, we say hi, sign alliance papers, fiesta party, blah, blah, blah." I say, resting my head on the couch.

"For how many days do you think they should stay?" Levi asked with a yawn, making me yawn.

"Hmm, maybe four nights and five days, aka until Wednesday?" feeling my eyes become itchy with sleep.

"I think that's good. Are we done for today? If not, I'm sorry my Queen but I've failed you as a second in command because I can't function anymore," Levi mumbles making me chuckle.

"Yes, we are," I say while stretching like a cat.

After we organized some papers and planned the day for tomorrow, which took us 20 more minutes, we head out. Levi's right arm was around my shoulder while my left arm was around his waist. Maya and Owen followed us silently to the bedroom hallway, bidding their goodnights once we got there.

I say it back, used to the surprised faces, and enter my room. Levi continued heading to his room, walking like a zombie. At this point, I think he is sleepwalking.

My room is prepared for the night, thanks to the ladies. I go to the bathroom, do my thing, and head to my closet for some pajamas. Once I'm changed and ready to sleep, I notice that there's a small tea tray at my nightstand with a note.

"Fleur, this tea will help you sleep. Drink it and go to sleep right away since it's quite strong. - Louis" (Flower)

I'm not crazy enough to drink something like that but since I know Louis' handwriting (that's almost not legible) I can tell that this is not some kind of creepy guy trying to kill me.

I take a sip, my buds receiving the sweet tang of honey and camomile. It had some other weird taste to it that probably came from the other herbs.

Once I finish it, I wrap myself under my sheets, relaxing my whole body.

Let's see if this works.

"No, don't touch her, you don't know if she is going to turn into the Hulk if we wake her up." a voice whispers.

"Oh shush it, son! We should probably leave." another voice quietly said.

"What?! We are witnessing history right here! I need to take pictures." the first voice spoke again in a hushed tone.

What the fuck is happening?

I peel my eyes open, feeling the grogginess in them. The light coming from the windows hits my eyes, making me shut them immediately. Since when is light so fucking bright?

I hear someone inhaling towards my right, and my eyes go directly towards it. Levi and Louis stand there frozen as if they were caught doing something.

Huh? What are they doing in my room so early? 

And why is the light so freaking bright?!

I sit up on the bed, rubbing my eyes.

"Umm, what are you guys doing here? What time is it?" I asked, giving them a weird look when they don't respond.

"Uh, guys? Is everything okay?" I repeat, grabbing my robe from the end of the bed

"Right, umm- Nothing's wrong, but congrats chica, you slept 12 hours straight." 12 WHAT?

"Really?!" I exclaimed, surprised.

"Yes Fleur, anyways, do you feel a little different by any chance?" Louis asked with a suspicious face. (Flower)

"No, I feel alright. Why?" I asked.

"Oh don't worry, just checking if my special tea worked, and apparently it did perfectly," he responded.

A flash went off, which I immediately noticed was Levi.

"Oh for fucks sake, give me the phone!" Going after him once he started running and dogging me around my room. I launch myself to his back, now being in a piggyback.

"Give it or else!" I warned, gritting my teeth while trying to catch the stupid phone.

"Or else what? Spank me? Please do." he said laughing, raising his hand so that I wouldn't be able to reach it.

I wrapped my hand around his bicep and sent a little heat towards it.

"ARG!" he screamed with a high-pitched voice, dropping the phone to the floor.

"Oh shut up, drama queen." I scolded, hearing Louis hollering in the back.

On the screen, the big numbers signaled 11:37 AM. Entering the password, which by the way is 69420, I went to the camera roll to find around 100 pictures of me sleeping. Some had Louis and him doing a selfie with me sprawled like a cat on the bed, and others were close-ups of my face.

He really had a death wish.

"No please, Alex! Don't delete them." He whined, still hugging his bicep as if I burned his whole arm.

"Too late, buddy," I said, giving him back his phone.

I fix my bun from last night, which now looks like a bush from running around, and walk to the bathroom.

"Well, we'll be heading out. Remember the dress fitting you have this afternoon for the party-", "Fiesta-party." Levi interrupted, correcting him.

"C'est la même chose. Anyways, I will order some breakfast for you." Dragging Levi through the door. (It's the same thing.)

I didn't even get the chance to respond, so I finally closed the bathroom door. I saw myself in the mirror and let's just say, I don't look like a raccoon anymore. My eyebags are no longer there and my face looks energized. Obviously, I still felt a little weak from the 2-week sleep deprivation but those 12 hours definitely helped.

I let out a sigh, let's get the day started, shall we?
