House of Knights

Chapter forty-two - he was my present.

March 2024s- Thundering out in the land

On the outskirts of London

Phoebe Jade Taylor's pov:

Will you marry me? Cole asked. I sat in dead silence thinking. His mother came into the room, she heard us arguing. She looked in peace for once, "Pheobs you can get married in Greece, no one would be able to break that union. " "What are you saying? To rule in Greece? To have a life there, not being with my family?" "It's an option, Jade. "  She muttered. "You want me to go against my family?"  I said. "Have they not gone against you already and you're already with no child yet-" she responded.  "I know I know," I replied by raising my hands. I took a breath and stared at them both and said " I need time to think." Then I  left. 

I ended up by the lake.  I sat on the edge of the curb. 

What kept running through my mind was my mother, I was living her life. Just like her, with Colin. I understood what she went through, she found something but she knew she couldn't keep it.   But this time the one asking to get married is the Gordans not how it was with her and him.  They didn't last as long as I and Cole have, surprising since Cole was named after Colin, meaning Coles's full name was Colin. So it's like copying her life.

 The 1140s -Demi Marie Taylor's pov:

It was a sunny day on the outer bank of London, I wasn't married at this moment in time. I laughed to myself I was by the Lake, grinning to myself. My feet were wet, I was in shorts and a crop top.

The sun was streaming down. I had previously met the young Robbert Wills. My family was trying to put their matchmaking skills to good use but I never listened.  I looked at the water moving slowly it was so peaceful.  I felt hands crawling onto me gripping me tightly. O laughed to myself "Colin Gordan!" His voice was sweet like honey, "How did you know it was me?" "I just knew." He gripped my top and pulled me in. Leaving me with kisses. When I caught my breath I said "This is perfect." "Could you imagine being here?" I couldn't, even though I wanted that so much. I answered him with a deep kiss.

He picked me up and took me inside the cottage. My body was on his moving along together touching, the feeling was getting to me. The touch, the movements, and the joy that came with being with him. He was my present, and unknowing future. His mother was out of town, he had brought me up to his bedroom. It was like a fairy tale that seemed too good to last. That's why I was trying to space out this relationship because I saw myself betraying him at some point.  

  March 2024s- Thundering over  the land

Wendy Grace Taylor's pov:

I was with Rory, he kept saying I should try and see my sister's point of view.  We argued over it, he didn't see my point of view. She still was with a nobody, how was that going to look to the family? The wedding was fast approaching, I had my dress sorted and I had April be my maid of honor.  I had recently seen my goddaughter the littlest princess she was so beautiful. I loved spending time with little Jas, I loved babysitting for her and her future husband.

Thinking about the whole situation with my older sister she had everything a girl would wish for, she was a bloody princess of goodness sake! What else would she want? I mean your family give a suggestion not to be with someone who will only break you apart, and considering he had no title what was she still doing with him?
