One Of The Selected (Sophitz)

Chapter 7

I woke up and saw a sleeping Fitz besides me and I recalled last night's events. I smiled at the fact that me and Fitz had kissed. I flicked some hair off his eyes and he seemed to notice the movement because I then saw his beautiful teal eyes. 

"Good morning beautiful," he said a small playful smile on his lips. 

"Good morning," I start getting up and immediately miss his warmth. 

"Where are you going?" he asked as I brushed my dress, wiping any dirt that was on it. 

"We have to sneak back inside, my maids could be worried about me. What time is it?" he looked at his watch. 

"9:45, so breakfast just finished," I picked up the basket but Fitz didn't move. 

"Fitz get up please," he pouted. 

"But I'm tired and I just want to cuddle," I roll my eyes at his childness. 

"I want to as well but you have to get up first, please for me," he groaned and got up, folding the blanket behind him. He tucked it under his arm and with my free hand he laced our fingers together and we made our way through the gardens and into the palace. We dropped off the basket and he escorted me to my bedroom, giving me a quick kiss and leaving. Once I entered the room all the girls pounced at me. 

"Oh my god! We were so worried!" Tiffany said. 

"Were you with Fitz the whole time?" Amelia asked. 

"Yeah I was. We had a romantic picnic during sunset and we accidentally fell asleep." I explained. 

"So I take it, it went well?" Mary asked. 

"It went better than I expected. Before we fell asleep, he kissed me." Then all hell broke loose! Mary started talking about what color flowers should be at our wedding and Amelia and Tiffany just squealed and jumped up and down. 

"We're so happy for you!" 

"Thank you. But can you guys get some warm water running? I wanna get out of these clothes as soon as possible," Mary nodded and rushed in the bathroom, the sound of water filling the room. 

"We're all set!" I thanked her before stripping off my dress and stepping in the warm water. After a nice warm bath I wrapped myself in a towel. 

"I don't really feel like wearing a dress today, can you grab me a pair of pants and a shirt from my drawers?" Amelia nodded and soon came back with an outfit in her hands. 

"Thanks," she nodded and left the bathroom leaving me to change. It felt good to wear something that was actually comfortable. 

"Can you not do my hair and make up today? I really just want to take a break from all of that," They nodded but still brushed and dried my hair for me, putting it in a ponytail. 

"Thank you guys, you're the best," they all smiled and gave me a hug. 

"You might want to talk to Della and Biana, they're both very eager to know about the date," Tiffany said. 

"Okay thanks for telling me. I have to go have breakfast now," the girls waved to me as I left the room. I made my way to the dining halls but then I bumped into Biana and Della. By there face expressions, I knew I wasn't going to have breakfast today. 

"Yay! You're here! You can finally tell us how the date went!" Biana clapped her hands and grabbed my wrist and dragged me to her bedroom, Della following us. Once we reached to her bedroom the three of us sat on her bed. 

"Now spill. And details."

"Fitz took me to this special place and we had a picnic," both of there smiles disappeared as I told them.
