On the way to the ball, Rachel and I bumped into my mother and Jeremy talking to each other.
'Oh hello dear. you truly do look wonderful!' mother said while embracing me.
'Thank you and so do you!' Rachel replied for me.
What were Jeremy and my mother talking about? It couldn't have been me. It must have been about the ball or dad. Right? Well if that was the case, why was he staring at me? His eyes held many different emotions, sadness, hurt and an other which I couldn't place. It's not like I looked good. I'm not saying I looked bad, but I don't know, I wasn't beautiful at least not that beautiful.
'-Do you have a escort Madeline?' my mothers words broke me out of my trance.
'Uhm well actually no-' I was interrupted by Rachel.
'But she is holding out for someone who by the way have a date either' she aimed the last part towards me.
'Oh and who is this mystery man?' my mom asked.
'Let's just say you know him pretty well' Rachel saved my ass.
At this stage, Jeremy was staring at me with his jaw clenched. His eyes only showed hurt because he knew who I was waiting on.
And it wasn't him.
'Well don't think that I won't ask you about this later' mom warns me. Oh no.
I start to feel a hot sensation creeping up from my neck. Damn. Why did I have to blush now?
'Aww honey whats so embarrassing?' mother asked.
'Afraid your mother will find out about your lover boy?' Rachel teased with a giggle.
'He is not my lover boy!' I said getting redder by the second.
'Excuse me ladies. I hope to see you later. Your majesties' he said with a bow.
He then stormed past my out of sight in a few long strides.
'That boy is too formal his own good' mother said with a small chuckle. 'Well anyway, I better be off to. Remember to make a good entrance we can't have your future kingdom thinking badly of you'
Wow! Thanks mom. That's a 'No pressure' situation then.
We continued on our way until we got to the massive double doors.
'Here goes nothing' I muttered so softly that only Rachel, who was clutching onto my arm, could hear.
The doorman opened the door and everyones head turned to us.
And in his loud, deep voice he announced our arrival
'Princess Madeline Gray and Miss Rachel Fletcher'
