Princess?

Chapter 20

Camilla's P. O. V.

"Babe, this is my best friend, Alex. Alex, this is my fiancé, Camilla"

We're at the ball we planned to announce our engagement. Louis has been introducing me to his friends.

Alex takes my hand, kissing my knuckles, "It's a pleasure to meet you. "

I blush, "And you as well. "

I love Louis, but goodness, this man was beyond gorgeous.

A jawline that could cut you. Lips so kissable. Eyes that could pierce your soul. I just want to run my fingers across his short stubble.

Alex smirks at me, as if he knows what I'm thinking, "You are very beautiful."

I grin, "Thank you. And you are quite handsome. "

Louis clears his throat and looks back and forth between us, "Are you guys finished? Okay. Let's go Camilla. "

Louis starts dragging me away. I look behind me to see Alex smiling at me.

Louis says, "Please don't flirt with him."

I laugh, "I wasn't flirting with him. Babe, I love you. "

Louis gives me a look like he doesn't believe me, "Oh yeah? Did you love Tony, too? Cause look what you did to him. "

I gasp as he says those terrible words, "I can't believe you. "

I start to walk away but Louis grabs me, "Wait, baby-"

I rip my arm away, "No. Don't 'baby' me. I have nothing else to say to you right now. "

I walk away, fuming. I open the double doors to the terrace and walk out, sitting on the bench.

A few minutes later, I look to see Alex walking out, shutting the doors behind him.

"What are you doing out here? This is your engagement party"

I sigh, "I know. "

Alex sits next to me, "What's wrong?"

I groan and lay my head on his shoulder, "Louis just made a comment that was really low. And I mean really low. "

Alex sighs and sets his hand on my thigh. I stiffen, uncomfortable of the situation.

I let it slide until Alex starts drawing circles on my thigh. I quickly stand up, "Thank you for comforting me. But I really should be getting back. "

As I walk back inside, I hear Alex sigh and mutter, "Ugh Idiot!"

I walk inside and immediately find Louis. I smile at him as I take his hand. Louis looks at me in surprise then kisses me.

Louis grabs my waist, "Madam Crowley, this is my beautiful fiancé, Camilla. "

I shake Madam Crowley's hand, "How do you do. "

The lady nods then looks at Louis with disgust on her face, "Americans. I'll never understand the love for Americans. "

Then she walks away. I stare at her in shock then pull Louis to the side, "I've gotten that reaction from a lot of people tonight. Maybe us getting married isn't such a good thing. "

Louis sets his hands on my shoulders and says, "Darling, I don't care that you're American. That's all that should matter. "

I shake my head, "Well it isn't. Especially not when I'm these peoples future ruler of France. "

Louis sighs, "Please, sweetheart. This is the first time they're meeting you. Just give them some time to warm up to the idea. My mother did. "

I bite my lip, "Fine. "

Louis quickly kisses me on my lips, "Good. Thank you. Now go mingle and make friends. "

I give Louis a death look as he lightly pushes me out into the crowds of people.
