^ I think that is okay for a dinner. Plus Calista loves simple things.
PS: that isn't Calista. You can decide who Calista is.
Royal Dinner
*Calista*
After working in the company, I slump on the couch, and mum says, "Stop overworking yourself, Callie. You have to look bright and lovely tomorrow.
"For what?" I ask her suspiciously.
She clears her throat, and I'm thinking about the unthinkable. I hope they didn't decide to put the wedding tomorrow. If they do, I will run, or say I don't when the priest asks me.
"Well, Darrel and Daphne invited us to dinner at their place," my mum says.
"Darrel and Daphne? You mean to tell me that the king and queen, invited us to the palace tomorrow night, and I'm just finding out about it?" I ask narrowing my eyes. My mum grinned nervously, "We actually found out about it quite late as well Callie."
I roll my eyes, "First, I'm supposedly betrothed to a prince then, it was announced on media in less than a week now, I'm just finding out that we are having dinner in the royal palace. What should I be expecting next? That we are getting married next week?"
My mum smiles, "Well, if next week isn't so bad, of course, we can organize something for you two."
"Was I supposed to laugh?" I ask my mum.
She grins ignoring my question, "Callie, let it go alright? I know we didn't exactly give you a choice but, we did put the wedding to be at least 2 or 3 months away so that you and Darius can know more about each other."
"This is the part where I'm supposed to feel better right?" I asked rolling my eyes.
"Well yeah," she replies. I go to my room, take a shower, and eat quickly so that I can talk to Chels.
"Okay okay, I know you are eager to talk to me but be calming down o. In case you have forgotten, we have a 7 hours difference babe" she says.
"Sorry, ma. Anyways, my mum just told me the king and queen invited us for dinner at the palace."
"OH MY GOD!!! Why will she tell you something so grand now? sweetie before you know it, your wedding will be next week."
I sigh, "I swear I said the exact same thing. I'm so nervous even thinking about going there. I just want to be on the next flight to New York. If I'm back, it'll take at least 2 years before I'm back here."
Chelsea tsks, and asks, "Do you know how many people will kill to have dinner with the king and queen with their freakishly handsome son?" I reply, "Um no?"
"Well, you should know that I, your best friend, am one of them. Kindly dress exceptionally well in fact, what are you going to wear?" I sigh in frustration, "I don't know. Mum just told me recently. How the hell am I meant to know what to wear?"
She hisses, and says, "I don't know, MAYBE BY LOOKING FOR IT! We don't have enough time to go to the mall so, let's just settle for something in our wardrobe."
I raise an eyebrow, "What's with all the our?"
She ignores my question saying, "Less talking, more action." She switches our call to video call, sits up, and says, "Okay so let's do this. I know you don't want to marry him, but it doesn't mean you will show up in rags right? I know you well enough to know that you won't dress anyhow in front of the king and queen. Seriously though, who wouldn't want to marry a British prince?"
"Me," I answer.
She rolls her eyes, "I'm talking about humans Calista, not you."
At that, my mouth drops open.
