Royalty is Two-Faced

Chapter Five: The First Date is Always the Worst... Unless your Date is Royalty.

Chapter Five: The First Date is always the worst... Unless your Date is Royalty.

His smile infected me! I could never stop smiling alongside him. Sure, I met Prince Edryn in only a day... not even that, but it feels like I’ve known him all my life. And the car-ride felt so uplifting, Edryn was going through some events that occur. One of the most important is attending local games, great chance for publicity and can get the population of Teirand to grow to respect their leaders who share common interest. Edryn is mainly interested in horse races, his mother loves golf and Carlin adores baseball... wow, I would have never guessed! Questions about the Royal’s more personal life circled my mind, but I maintained that curiosity for now.

The car pulls up and Edryn looks out the window, “Paparazzi are already circling the building... someone must’ve told them.” He remains silent, “Philip? Can you take us to the Natural Gardens please?” He buckles his seatbelt back on and a smile lurks on his features as the car begins to move. The Natural Gardens, it’s a beautiful place from what I’ve seen on T.V... rumours from the media said that Artic proposed to Courtney there. But I sort of doubt it, but that counts for nothing right?

Edryn nudges me back to reality, “Tell me about you.” I smile sweetly as he leans against me gently. Then a thought hits me, he doesn’t know that much about me... “Oh, I also rung your pare- Well more Carlin did... but you get the picture.” He smiles and kisses my neck.

Goosebumps fill my very soul, “Just ring them up!” I stroke his black hair.

He shrugs and moans, “I hate doing matters without permission.” He sighs and sits properly his blue eyes closed at peace.

I smile, “And Carlin could care less?” I lean and kiss his forehead.

Edryn smiles and nods, “Evil Twin.” He kisses my forehead in return and moves his arm so it was behind me, “I honestly want to be a noble person, inside and out.” He mutters, “It’ll make up for our previous mistakes with the media.”

I try to piece any pass tabloids, “Like what?” I ask slightly defeated yet curious.

Edryn runs a pale hand through his black locks, “Remember when Artic was out screwing girls because Courtney left him?” I nod quickly, how could I forget?! Well, I did forget... “He was labelled as a bad role model... but to me, he is the most admirable person I know... He had a bad run-in but that’s it. I want the media to respect us! There’s more to a person, if you know what I mean... you can’t just label someone after one bad experience.” He sighs and kisses my forehead, “I’m blabbering... aren’t I?” I shake my head, I really want to know more about him. “You know, I’ve never been labelled badly. Have you noticed? The royalists want me to overrule Artic when he takes the throne.” He bits his lip innocently.

I ran my hand across his cheek, “There’s more to that statement.” I whisper and Edryn looks at me shocked.

His blue eyes soften slightly, “How do you do that? Know if I’m hiding the truth?”

I shrug, “I’m Sookie Stackhouse.” I smirk with cheekiness.

He grins as dimples are lightly pressed against his cheeks, “That’s it.” He kisses my forehead, “Azure...” He mumbles and pulls away, his eyes show somewhat some hesitation and he gives me a stoic expression I haven’t recognized. “We’re here.” He smiles as if he just changed his mind. He turns and opens the door without sparing me a glance.

I cross my arms and look at the driver, “Philip? Am I right?” I lean forward, “Do you know the secrets of the Royal Family?”

The driver turned, he resembled Desiree... his brown eyes and light sun kissed auburn hair combed neatly underneath a fashionable hat. “Yes, it’s Philip... and yes I know a few secrets but that’s for you to find out... I understand you know of Carlin?” I nod quickly, “His eyes are really piercing aren’t they?” he coos and I angle my head to the side in confusion. “Desiree says that’s her favourite feature from him.”
