Nora paced her bedroom reading her poem over and over again. "Nora, you've been pacing for 30 minutes. Sit down." Leo rolled his eyes as he leaned against the door frame. "No! I will not sit down. I have to go in front of a bunch of people and read this! To them!" Nora shouted. "Nora, you're gonna be fine. I promise." Leo smiled. "Come downstairs and eat some breakfast." Leo walked away. Nora sighed, she closed her book and walked downstairs. She sat down on the couch. "Bacon and egg on toast, your favorite." Leo placed down a plate on the coffee table. "Thanks." Nora smiled and she took a bite. "So, did you decide what you're gonna wear to that party tonight?" Leo asked, taking a sip of his coffee. Nora nearly choked on her food. "Excuse me?" Nora looked at Leo. "The invitation was on your desk this morning." Leo smirked. "So, your going?" Leo drank his coffee. "I'm still deciding." Nora took another bite of her food. "alright, but if you decide to go. I can help you pick out a dress." Leo smiled. "Hell no." Nora chuckles, Leo laughs.

Nora walks into the bakery and puts on her apron. "Another horrible day at work." She mumbles to herself. "Hey, look who isn't late this time!" One of her co workers snicker. "Shut up Gwen." Nora rolls her eyes. She walks over to the ovens to pull something out when she hears someone ringing the bell on the counter continuously. "Ugh!" Nora groans, she pulls out a cake from the oven and places it on the counter then walks out of the kitchen. She walks up to the counter as the bell gets louder. "Could you please-" she stops when she makes eye contact with Akira. "Great.. he is stalking me." She thinks to herself. "How can I help you, King Akira?" She puts on a fake smile to seem friendly, but she was really annoyed. "Just a tea please. That's all." Akira smiled. Nora wanted to tell him to leave. but then again, Akira was the king. So she couldn't really do that. "Is that to go?" Nora asked, "please please please be to go." Nora begged inside her mind. "I think I'll stay." Akira smiled. Nora groaned but tried not to make it obvious. "Okay.." Nora mumbled then walked back into the kitchen. Akira just stood there smiling. Nora walks back out of the kitchen holding a mug filled with tea. She softly places it on a table where Akira was sitting. "Here's your tea." Nora gave a fake smile then went to go walk away. "Are you coming to the party?" Akira asked as he takes a sip of his tea. Nora sighs, her face filled with annoyance. She turned around and smiled. "I don't think I'll be able to make it. I have to read a poem out to a bunch of people tonight." Nora said. Akira smiled at her, "Oh well, you can just do it at the party!" Akira stood up. Nora's face fell. "What?" She questioned. "Yeah, you can do it at the party. I'll make a spot for you." Akira smiled. "I uhm-" Nora looked away. "So you're going?" Akira asked softly. Something about his smile drew her in.. "his beautiful smile..." she thought to herself. "No! Stop thinking like that." Nora looked down. "Uhm.. I'll think about it." Nora smiled. "Great, uhm how much do I owe you?" Akira asked. "Oh the tea is 3.99" Nora answered. Akira pulled out 50 dollars and handed it to Nora. "Keep the tip." Akira winked, he walked out of the bakery. Leaving Nora standing there shocked.

"He said you could read the poem in front of the royals at the party? Nora, this is amazing!" Leo said excitedly. "I guess.." Nora mumbled. "What's wrong?" Leo sat down next to her on the bed. "Hm? Oh nothing." Nora stood up. "Oh, I see what's going on here." Leo smirks. "Hm?" Nora turns around. "You have a little crush on the king~" Leo teased. "Shut up! I do not!" Nora shouts. "Oh King Akira, you're so handsome. Just kiss me right here right now!" Leo mocks Nora. "Hey! I do not sound like that!" Nora huffs, she looks away. Leo laughs. "Come on Nora, you're gonna do fine." Leo smiles. "Just go to the party and try to have fun." Leo places a hand on Nora's shoulder. "Yeah.. okay." Nora smiles. Leo smiles back and walks out of her room. "And no kissing!" Leo shouts. "Shut up Leo!!" Nora blushes, Leo laughs.
