Princess?

Chapter 26

Camilla's P. O. V.

"Oh I love this song."

Tom looks at me, "Oh yeah?"

I nod. We're sitting in the foyer, listening to the radio.

Tom holds his hand out, "Dance with me"

I bite my lip, "I don't know if I have enough energy for that. "

He smiles, "Cmon"

I get up and walk over to him. I set one hand on his shoulder, he sets one on my waist and our other hands are clasped together. Tom lifts me up and sets my feet on top of his.

I look at him in shock, "I'll hurt you. "

Tom laughs, "Are you kidding? You're light as a feather. Now shhh, I want to hear the song. "

I quiet down and lay my head on Tom's shoulder as he sways us back and forth. Tom presses his head against mine, humming along with the song.

I can't help but burst into laughter as Tom dips me. A servant walks into the room, "m'lady,"

Tom and I quickly break apart. I clear my throat, "Yes?"

The servant says, "Would you like some tea?"

I nod, "Yes, that would be lovely. Thank you. You better bring it to my bedroom. I think I need to rest. "

The servant nods and hurries out of the room. Tom sighs and grabs me by the waist, "I'm sorry. I've tired you out. It's my job to take care of you, and I've tired you out. "

I shake my head and set my hand on his cheek, "Don't worry about it. I had fun. I haven't really danced in awhile, so thank you. Louis is always hovering, ever since I've been sick. I know he cares, but I'm not as weak and helpless as everyone seems to think I am. "

Tom shakes his head, "I know you're not weak and helpless. I can still see the strength in your eyes. "

My eyes flicker down to his lips and back to his eyes. I can tell he noticed, by the way he's looking at me. I clear my throat and take a step back, "I'm heading to my room. You can go down and have lunch, if you like. "

Tom nods, "Thank you, m'lady. I'll be up in a bit to check on you. "

I nod in surprise as he walks away, going downstairs to the kitchen. He always insists on eating in my room. He never wants to leave my side for long. What's going on now?

I head back to my room, getting into bed. My phone starts ringing. I answer it, "Hello?"

"Darling, how are you feeling?"

I smile, "I'm fine, Louis. How is Scotland?"

Louis sighs, "It's gorgeous. But it would be so much better if you were here. Is Tom doing alright? "

I can't help but smile again at the mention of his name, "He's doing an amazing job, yes. I'm very thankful for him. "

Louis says something to someone then says to me, "I'm sorry love, but I've got to go. I'll talk to you soon, okay?"

"Okay, I lov-"

I stop talking when I hear the line go dead. There's a knock at my door, "M'lady, there's someone here to see you. May I come in. "

"Come in, Tom. "

Tom opens my door and walks in, followed by Tony.

I gasp, "Tony? What are you doing here?"

Tony quickly sits in the chair seated next to my bed, "I heard you were sick. I needed to come see you and make sure you were okay. "

I smile, "Thank you. But I'm fine. "
