* Arabella's POV *

"You seem unsure." Johnathan can see right through me. "Put me down." He does as I say and I adjust my shirt.

"I'm actually going out today." He hums. "That doesn't sound like a good idea."

"Why not?" Johnathan relaxes before speaking. He at least takes a whole minute to speak again though. Every muscle in his body lowers and I begin worrying what he's about to bring up.

"Allen." He says his name so nonchalantly. "I can take care of myself first of all. And second of all I'm going out with only girls. I'll be okay."

"Says the girl in a diaper." I scoff at him. "What is that supposed to mean?!" He's eyes widen. "Fuck no Johnathan. You are not about to insult me at my most vulnerable state."

"Yes. He hurt me. Now I know to be less trusting."

"Arabella." He huffs. "I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that."

"I know you didn't. Just tell Katherine I left okay?"

"I'd prefer if I guard with went you."

"Whatever just send one up in a hour or something."

Johnathan walks out the door. I need a very long shower. I walk to my bathroom connected to the nursery. I'm not in here often and it's much softer than my regular one. It smells like vanilla and Kathrine.

God, am I obsessed? I remove my shirt. It slightly gets caught on my head and I giggle at the way it stretches my face out in the mirror. I move my hands down to the diaper and tug on it.

It's not budging at all. I huff at myself and roll my eyes. Obviously I need to undo the straps. Once I'm down with that I turn on the shower water.

My hand enters the shower to feel the temperature. It's steaming hot. Perfect.

I step into and audibly moan. I needed this relaxation badly. I spend somewhere near fourth five minutes in the shower.

Once I'm done I dry myself off and brush my teeth while wrapped in my towel. Leaving out the bathroom I realize I had no idea if the guard was in my room or not. Johnathan was right about me needing security. I hate that.

"I have no clothes." I whine at myself for never shopping for more outside clothes. I hear a knock at my door. "Stay outside I'll be right there!" I hear a muffled agreement and continue getting ready.

I eventually pick out flared jeans with a crop top and some sneakers. I've probably worn this outfit multiple times before but I have no clothes. "Come in."

The guard outside walks into my room. It's man bun! The guard that I always forget to ask the name of. "What your name?"

"Zon'Clare Knight." He bows on one knee. "You don't have to bow."

"Johnathan made it very clear that if I don't make you feel like a princess he'd chop off my hand." I chuckle at that.

"Mh." I turn my head and walk over to him. "Yes?" He talks to me in a sing-song voice.

"I need to go to my actual room. This one has no makeup." He moves up to follow me out. "Ladies first." I side eye him.

"We'll be leaving soon. I just need to put on some lipgloss and grab my phone." Thankfully my baby closet had some big me clothes in it and this guard doesn't have to see my mess of an actual closet.

"Okay." We make it to my room and I open the door. I sit down at my vanity and put on some eyeliner. Along with that I put on perfume and grab my phone.

"Let's go. My friends are outside."

"Why are you so okay with me being with you?" I look at him.

"My mom is an overprotective stalker. I've always had a man following me. And plus my friends are rich they're used to body guards." Zon'Clare's eyebrows scrunch up in discomfort.

We walk out the castle and my friends are waiting outside for me. This is a different group from the maze except Elsa is here. Along with Cupid, Izzy, Sarah, Lacy and, Lana.

"Hiya Arabella!" Elsa is obviously the first one to say hi to me. Everyone else speaks in unison and we laugh. These girls are all angels. Unfortunately we live far away from each other.

"All our horses are around the corner. You going to grab one from the barn?" Izzy talks lightly. Softly and calm. I miss being a teenager. Always being surrounded by this. "Yea, you guys just wait it for one more second I'll be right back."

I sprint over to the barns to go grab a horse. I remember when I first went riding with Star. There was this one horse that I immediately clicked with. Where is she?

I turn around at a rustling sound excited assuming it was my horse. My face drops when I realize it's just Zon'Clare being noisy. "Shhhh."

I turn my head back around and see my horse! I skip over to her. "Hey horsy!"

"Let's go for a ride."

"Zon'Clare come over here quickly hoist me up." He does as I say rather quickly. "I quite like you. Grab a horse and follow me and my friends."

I light tap my horse with my ankle as she starts walking in the direction I lead her in. We make it to my friends who have already retrieved their horses and go on our way.

We're now on the main streets and we're all just chatting it up. Zon'Clare is trailing behind us. "Y'all stop."

"What is it Bella?" Lacy looks at me concerned.

"What is that Lady wearing?" I point my finger towards the girl and she starts walking faster.

* Narrative POV *

Arabella and her friends ride around the city for hours. Laughing, smiling, and picking fun at people on the streets.

Zon'Clare gets worried. Why is this young girl acting so rude and entitled. He notices the way she laughs at clearly less fortune people. People who are not as wealthy as her.

He barely knows Arabella but this isn't like her. Zon'Clare presses record on the little radar connected to his vest. He doesn't know what will happen once he shows Katherine how Arabella acts with her friends.
