A Throne and a Baby

Chapter 7

All I saw was red "you have a lot of nerve calling my home

number"

he was silent

"how could you do it"

"look I'm not proud of myself for what I did to your mother. I thought she

would return and forgive me but one year went by then another then

another. Then I realized that she was not going to return, I figured that she was happily married with kids. I Stopped looking then started living my life; I haven't met another woman since your mother."

"Stop I'm done, no more I can't even talk all I ever wanted was you. I asked

mom when you were ever coming home but you never came. She told me you

died just so I wouldn't fell any emotion about you not being over here."

my eyes started to blur "I'm going to say what I always wanted to you so I

can get you out my system 'I love you dad'" then I hung up the phone and

hurried called max, he answered on the first ring.

"hello, Durango"

"hey, Max you called"

"ellie yeah, what are you doing now"

"nothing"

"okay, I'm on my way home then I will be over okay"

"alright" when I let him go I went to my room where Lola was laying down on

the bed when I went to my dresser where a picture of me and Gloria were

gardening. I took my necklace off and went to take a shower as I let the

hot water run down my head and body it felt like all my problems just

washed away it made me just think would I ever forgive him for what he did

or not. I will think it over as I grabbed my blue pajamas and waited for

Max to get here man I need a drink with the day I had I mean I'm not an

alcoholic. Sometimes I just needed a drink remembering I had some champagne

in the fridge maybe I could get some before he arrived.

Grabbing the halfway full bottle of champagne I had three small glasses

before I heard the door. I have heard that I was a lite weight from

others. I never really believe them until now I couldn't walk straight so

when I wobbled to the door and opened Max was standing with a strange expression.

"Hey come on in" leading the way to the living room, Lili and Lola stayed on their pillow next to the television. Sitting on the couch waiting for him to sit next to me He still didn't say anything since coming here.

"So what did you need to talk to me about." still waiting for him to speak.

"Elle I need to know something, okay" turning so that he was facing me. "Elle what where you really doing at the charity event"

"Really be honest, I was meeting a man that I hope to never see again."

"Oh, who was that?"

Taking another sip "My Father" Max was silent for a moment, He seemed like he was shocked about something that I didn't understand.

"Elle, who is your father" trying to get as much information from me.

"That would be the king of Denmark" Taking a larger drink "Mr. Tyler McDock"

"Are you serious" shocked

"Yes" wanting to cry, glancing at Max who was just staring at me "why do you want to know"

He took a deep breath, "Elle you asked me why was I there, well I was there with my father and mother"

"What do your parents do" Paying more attention, what was he going to tell me now.

"My parents are.... a royal family"

My brain was not catching what he was saying to me, what did he mean a royal family. When the piece came together I looked at him. "So you are what a prince"

"Correct" just that one word made me wonder what else he had to tell me.

"From where"

"Spain, my father met you when you were with your father"

Thinking back, I remembered him standing next to Gregory asking to speak to Tyler. Gregory did say that he was a king. Looking at Max wondering why would a prince be in a small state like Iowa and not in Spain having people cater to him.

"that is great to know I guess" standing up, heading to the kitchen to grab some cracker cause I needed to get my mind on something else right now. Things where changing way too fast for me to even catch up. Tyler was a King, Max was a prince, and what next Chloe is a princess of Russia. Laughing at my own joke I turned and bumped into Max.

"Sorry about that"

"It's okay," walking past him "so what was the reason you wanted to tell me."

He was silent again "Because now I don't have anything stopping me from doing what I really wanted."

"What would that be" turning around to see Max walking forward, when he grabbed my face I knew that he was going to kiss me. When his lips touched me it felt like I was just floating, I didn't even notice that I had dropped the bag of crackers. His lips felt light against mine but when he stood up straight.

"Elle, I'm sorry" he sounded like he did something wrong

"Max its okay, plus I liked it" grinning to show him that I was not lying. "So what made you do that?"

"I wanted to tell you that I have always liked you Elle but my family wouldn't allow me to even do something that would hurt the family reputation"

"What do you mean by that" taking a seat on the couch, that kiss still had me felling a little light headed.

"My family only allows royal blood to become family"
