Lost Princess

Five

Hearing that an old friend of Philip's was coming to visit has Anastasia worry for Mary, but Mary seems to be finding other people. Francis told her that she is one of his best friends and hopes that Ana and Olivia would get along. Olivia saw the blonde herself and couldn't believe it. Her best friend that she met when they were kids is back. "Anastasia?" She looked to see Olivia.

"I'm sorry, but who are you?"

"It's me, Olivia. You, me and Francis would play together along with Philip. Francis always chased you." She tells her as she grabbed her hand to see the small scar that was created when she fell. "You fell that day and Francis carried you inside with me and Philip behind you two. He was so scared."

Francis looked at her shock that the girl he has been around and started sleeping with, the girl he fell in love with is Anastasia. "I remember." He says taking the blonde's hand in his as Olivia smiled at them. "Ana, it's you that mother told me about."

The blonde started to remember a little more of that day. Being chased by Francis as Olivia and Philip laughed at the two till she fell. She remembered that day, the only other day she remembered before the screams and being pushed down. Looking at Francis, she smiled. "I remember that day, before I told you and Nicolai about the screams and being pushed. We were close before I was taken away."

Francis hugged her as he was happy she remembered some things. "I would like to spend time with her, Francis." Olivia stated. "I want to help her remember things."

"Sure." He says as he looked at Anastasia. "If you need me just have someone come and get me." He kissed her. "I love you, Ana."

"I love you, Francis."

Olivia took her friend's hand and walked away. Francis turned around and looked at his mother. "I think she's the lost princess of Rome."

"I think so too."

Mary saw Anastasia and walked over to her. "Hey, it's been a while since we spoke."

"It has." She says. "What's going on between you and Philip?"

"I don't trust him with Olivia. He's been around her this whole time..."

"Mary, you chose to not marry the boy. Yes he isn't in line, but I know you love Philip." She tells her. "Maybe talk to him instead of jumping to conclusions."

Mary smiled. "So, you and Francis."

"Are you okay with that?"

"I never loved Francis. It was always Philip. Be happy with him. I'm trying to find a way for you to marry him."

"Catherine is doing the same thing." She tells her. "If you see Francis before I do, tell him I'm going to find myself a place to relax and enjoy a book."

"I sure will."

Olivia heard Anastasia and knew why Philip is around her. Mary can't seem to know who she wants. Yet, Anastasia and Francis want one another making her go tell him where Ana was going to be at as she spends more time with Philip.

Francis saw the one woman he was looking for far from the castle and under a tree where no one can't see her. He ran out to her as Olivia and Philip watched them. They saw him kiss her causing Ana to lay the book down as she wrapped her arms around him. "I'm glad he found the one girl he wanted."

"He got her back, Philip. That's our friend Anastasia the blonde headed girl that Francis always chased around as we sat laughing at them." Olivia told him. "He loves her."

Philip knew right then and there. "She's..."

"Mmhmm." Olivia stated. "Francis will be happy with her."

Philip looked at Olivia who was smiling at them and knew that she wants that kind of love that his brother and Ana have together. He walked away with her as Francis and Ana broke apart. The blonde touched his cheek smiling. 'Want to get away, love."

"As long as you are with me." She tells him as she kissed him again. "First, let's finish what you just started, but in your room."
~~~
The door to his room opened as Francis and Ana walked in kissing. He chased her down like he used to, but this time, he gets to kiss her. He pushed Ana against his door shutting it. "Francis?"

"Hmm..."

"Let's take it slow." She moaned out. "I want to spend whatever bit of alone time I can with you."

Francis smiled as he kissed her as he undid her dress. "I want that too." He tells her as the dress dropped. "I just want you as my queen, my wife and the mother of my children." He kissed down to her stomach. "Ana, will you marry me?"

Anastasia looked at him shocked. Francis looked at her just for her to kiss him. Pulling away, she smiled. "Yes."

Francis picked her up and carried her to his bed. Laying her down, Francis took his clothes off before he kissed her again as he entered her. Moaning against his lips, Anastasia and Francis were going to make it to where they can be married. Starting with Francis making sure she bares his children.
