Picking a Prince

Chapter 1

Today is the day of my 18th birthday. It's not going to be like every other girls birthday because I'm not just some girl. I am the princess of Spades. Today not only will I have a fabulous party, but I will also have 20 guys coming to try to win my heart, my hand, the crown, and the kingdom. They will be here for the next couple of weeks until I choose just one to be honest I really don't want to choose. I'm not ready to get married. I want to find true love.

"Princess Lavender, It's time," my maid/best friend America says.

"Yes, I'll be right there," I call out taking just one more look at myself in my beautiful dress. (Above photo)

"Please miss you don't want to be late."

"I'm here," I say as I walk out of my closest.

"You look stunning. If I do say so myself I did a good job."

"It's amazing America. Probably your best yet!"

"Just wait to see the dress for your party princess."

"Well I better get going."

I ran down the hallway and almost run into one of the guards.

"Sorry Princess," Mason my guard says.

"No, it's my fault. I just want to get meeting these guys over with."

"It won't be that bad princess."

"Yeah, 20 guys in my home trying to win my heart. Definitely not bad at all," I say with a little laugh.

"You'll be alright. Now if you will follow me I will take you too them."

"Of course."

I follow Mason down the stairs and to the formal living room where 20 guys await for me. I take a deep breath and motion for Mason to let the first one come out. The first one walks out with a killer smile.

Taking a bow he says," It's an honor to meet you Princess Lavender. I am James."

"James it's absolutely wonderful to meet you," I say with a smile.

"You look absolutely gorgeous."

"Thank you. You don't think it's to much?"

"Absolutely not. A princess must always look fabulous."

"Thank you. Now if you will please enter the ball room on the left I will see you soon."

"Of course. Thank you," James say with an other bow before walking off.

"See I told you it wouldn't be so bad," Mason says.

"Oh hush. He was just the first one. I still have nineteen more to go."

One by one more come and go until one comes out.

"Princess," he says without a bow.

"Hello," I say.

"What size are you? I'm guessing a 36C?"

I gasp completely offended,"How dare you say that to me. Mason, please show him the door. He may leave."

"Yes, of course your highness," Mason says escorting him out.

While Mason is escorting him out I walk into the room with the remaining 10 guys. They all go silent when I enter the room.

"Now I will tell you right now if you are even thinking about offending me like he just did you may leave now!"

The boys all look at each other not saying a word.

"Okay I will meet you all one at a time here in a few minutes," I say as I exit the room.

Mason is back and continues to let the boys come and meet me. They are all very pleasant after my little talk with them.

"Just one more princess," Mason says.

"Okay send him out," I say completely exhausted.

The last guy walks out I have to admit he is absolutely handsome.

"Princess Lavender, it's a true honor to be in your presence. My name is Scotty," he says with a bow.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Scotty."

"You have such a lovely palace."

"Thank you."

"I hope that I will be your true love."

"We shall see. Now if you will go to the ball room on the left I will see you soon.
