My Royal Story

Chapter 20

"Here you go," sighed Lady Jubilee as she handed me an envelope.

"Thanks!"

"Good luck, Darling."

I ran back to my room to see Luke standing by my door, fiddling with his thumbs. It took everything that I had to not hurt him. "Luke?" I asked.

"Hey, Lily."

"Luke, do you want to get married, right now? I know I screwed up the last contract, so I brought a new one," I held up the envelope.

"Of course! Where do you want to do it?"

"My living room is fine."

We opened the door and took a seat on the sofa. I set the marriage contract on the coffee table and signed it with a pen. I handed it to Luke and he signed. "Well, we're married!" Smiled Luke as he embraced me.

"Yep!" We kissed and leaned back on to the couch. "I love you, Luke."

"I love you too," he kissed me again. "Do you want to, uh," he pointed to my bedroom.

"No! I'm only sixteen!" I touched his chest. "I would like to sit here with you, though."

"Okay then."

Luke put his arm around my shoulders and we snuggled for about an hour. Soon it was time for dinner and I had some stew sent up to my room. We shared it and snuggled some more until the sun went down. "Do you want to get some sleep?"

"Uh-"

Luke's beeper went off. "Oh, the troop needs me all night, I should probably reject it-"

"No! Go ahead, I'm fine, really."

"Okay, see you tomorrow," he kissed me on my cheek and walked out the door.

I sliced into the chair and took a deep breath. Thank goodness Lady Jubilee was able to contact the troop for me.

I grabbed a bag and packed it with pajamas and a toothbrush. I ran out the door and down the hallway. My feet padded up the stairs all the way in front of Bradley's room. I knocked on the door and he opened it. "Hi, Lily. What's up?"

"Can I sleep over?"

"Um, I guess."

"Thanks," I walked in and into the bathroom. I changed into my green nightgown with the lace around the edges. I brushed my teeth and walked out into his room.

He looked at me. I looked down at myself and noticed that the dress was kind of short. I blushed and he must have noticed, "Your fine!" He said, "I'm just not used to girls my age in nightgowns."

"Bradley, how old are you?"

"Eighteen in February."

"Then how is your brother becoming king?"

"In New Vermont, you become king at age eighteen," he explained.

"Oh, I would normally have to wait until I'm 21, but I'm going to be almost seventeen when I become queen."

"Wow. By the way, you can sleep in my bed, I'll take the couch."

"What? This is your room, sleep in your bed!"

"Why don't we both sleep in my bed, we're getting married in two weeks anyway!"

"That's fine with me."

We pulled the covers off his bed and laid down. I curled up under the covers while he stayed on top of them. "Why aren't you going under the covers?" I asked.

"I don't know, wouldn't it be too awkward?"

"Not really."

He got under the covers. His leg hit mine and he immediately pulled it away, "Sorry."

"It's fine."

"Lily," he said, "Why are you sleeping in here instead of your own room- not that I don't mind."

"I'm just scared."

"Of what?"

"Someone coming into my room, it's always been a fear of mine."

"Don't you have a guard for that?"

"He's gone tonight."

"Oh," Bradley hugged me and pulled me close to him. I curled into his chest and cried. "Lily, what's wrong."

"I'm just so scared."

Bradley pulled me off of his chest and tilted my chin up to his face, "Don't be afraid, I will always be here for you, to protect and love you."

I kissed him. It wasn't just a small kiss, it was a hard kiss. Our lips fit into each other's. Tingles went through my body as he ran his hands up and down it. I ran my hands through his sandy hair. His hand grabbed the rim of my nightgown and stopped. I broke away from the kiss, "Go ahead."

I loved Bradley and I couldn't hide it. I loved him so, so much.

What is she doing? Can you believe that she married Luke? And why is she doing this with Bradley if she married Luke?

I want you guys to know that I won't be updating much due to the fact that I start school tomorrow.
