Lost in Time

CHAPTER 9 INVITATION

"Roe? Robin? Aren't you going to eat breakfast?" Granny called us.

After that lake incident we went back to our room. We just sit there silently as we stared at the wall.

We broke from our trance and got up. Roe went out first still wearing our jogging outfit.

"Of course granny. I can't wait to eat those delicious waffles I've missed." He asnwered cheekily at our granny.

I smiled at him as we walked to the kitchen. The smell of waffles makes mouth water and my stomach grumbling.

"Mmmm.." I breathe and took a seat.

Roe quickly piled food on his plate and start digging. Devouring the food in just seconds. I took my time savouring the delicious taste of waffles.

"You should teach mom how to make this granny. It's superb!" I praised her while chewing the food in my mouth.

"I would send her my recipe darling." She grinned at us. She's such an adorable person.

"Oh I almost forgot, there will be a party tonight. And we got an invitation." She said sounding excited.

"Where?" Roe asked without looking up.

"At the castle, the son of the mayor have returned and they're having a homecoming party for him." She said.

The castle, I thought. We've never been there before. It will be our first time there.

Such a rich family to even live in a castle.

"Okay, what do we wear?" I asked smiling at granny. She just grinned again.

"I've got that covered." Granny sure is excited to go she even got our outfit covered.

I continued eating and I helped granny with the dishes afterwards.

Later that afternoon, granny lead us to her room. We entered her walk in closet and walk farther. It's surprisingly huge. She opened a double door and variety of gowns were hunged in there.

Wow! Granny sure to have it covered. I thought to myself.

I looked at Roe and laughed as he face palm himself looking at the suites and tuxedos in there too.

He's gonna hate it wearing those clothes.

I've chosen a white dress. It's simple yet elegant looking. It's back is slightly bare with a fabric hanged from my shoulder to my butt. The dressed reach up to my ankles and I paired it with a white stellitos.

My long black hair was in a ponytail with some of my strands braided above my bangs. Granny kept my makeup light. Emphasizing my natural features. I looked at my reflection one last time at the mirror and went outside granny's room.

My brother and granny waited for me at the door. He's wearing a white tuxedo with a black bow tie. He looked very handsome with his hair being brushed up. My granny wearing a nice black silky gown.

I reached for my brothers arm snd looped my arm around it.

"You look lovely tonight." He whispered and I giggled.

"And you look handsome too." I responded earning a cheeky grin from him.

"Your beautiful Robin. You surely would stand out at the party. And you too Roland." She exagerrated as we entered the limo.

The host of the party arranged to have a limo to fetch every guest.

Few moments later were entering a wide gate.

Oh my! The palace is magical.

We stepped out of the car and entered the extra wide and huge double door. A polite man dressed in a fancy suite lead us to a huge hall where the party's being held.

I sucked my breathe at the sight. Elegant would be an understatement.

There were people already scattered across the room. There's an orchestra and a beautiful singer at the corner singing a song.

I looked up at the high ceiling and saw the huge chandelier thats very elegant.

Everything is very beautiful and amazing. I can't believe this place is real. I thought it only exist in movies. My brothers also fascinated by the sight.

"Is this for real?" He said while looking around.

"I thought I'm just imagining things again too." I squeezed his arm and he look down at me with that cheeky grin again.

"Lots of lovely girls in here too!" He said excitedly as he eyed the women.

"Com'on you two, we have to find our seats." Granny dragged us towards the table reserved for us to seat.

A baritone voice spoke and welcomed all the guest in the hall.

I guess the party's getting started.

I looked around again and my eye landed on a very handsome blonde boy. He's looking at me too. He smiled at me and my heart skipped a beat. Butterflies erupted on my stomach.

He walk towards our direction not breaking our eye contact when he's suddenly dragged by an older man to the center of the hall.

"Welcome home Jerrod! Son of our mayor Robert West and Valerie West." The man said as the boy stood between a georgeous woman and the man who dragged him.

So he's the mayor's son. Jerrod West. I sad to myself.
