The sun shone brightly through the window this morning. I was nearly blinded when I opened my eyes. I groaned I think I have a wine hangover. Must use sunglasses today.
I opened my eyes and saw both Siobhan and Finnley sleeping on the floor.
I quietly got up and walked over to the medicine cabinet in the bathroom and pulled out a bottle of aleve liquidgels and took 2 pills.
I left the bathroom and went into the kitchen and set up my new Keurig.
It took 15 minutes to assemble and prep before I could use it.
I grabbed 3 mugs from the box of items I brought from home.
I went and opened the fridge and realized that I haven't been to the market yet. Fridge is empty.
Walking back into the living room the girls were starting to wake.
Finnley was the first to sit up. She was squinting because of the sun light and patting around the floor for her phone.
"Oh man. My phone is going to die." She said when she saw the battery life.
"Good Morning Finnley. I hope you slept ok."
"I slept fine Thanks. I'm going to wake Siobhan so that we can go and get ready for brunch. It's 10 now"
"Ok. Ill leave the door unlocked so you girls can pop over when you are ready. I am going to go get ready for brunch now too."
Finnley crawled over to Siobhan and gently woke her up and they left to go get ready.
I went into my room ansearched for the perfect brunch outfit and then went to go and take a shower.
I was ready about 30 minutes later.
After I was finished getting ready I walked back to my living room and my mom and dad were sitting on the couch talking to a man I have never met before.
"Honey, have you met Aiden yet?" Mom asked standing up to hug me. Aiden stood up too. Such a Gentleman.
"No I haven't but he is coming with us today for brunch...It's nice to meet you Aiden, I'm Tori." I said shaking his hand.
"The pleasure is all mine." He said.
"Hey Tori we're back!" Siobhan yelled coming back into the apartment
"Oh hey Aiden, I thought you were meeting us there." Finnley said walking into the apartment and over give her brother a hug.
"I came to see you ladies needed a ride to the restaurant." He said giving his sister a squeeze before letting her go.
"We're planning on taxis to the restaurant. I see you have met Mr. & Mrs. Kingsley."
"Yes, we saw him in the hall. We knew which apartment was yours and invited him over." My dad said.
"Alright well I am starving so lets get a move on." I said and we all left and disembarked to brunch.
We arrived about 15 minutes later and were seated in the back.
"I hope you don't mind but a friend from Eton wanted to meet up later so I asked him to join us for brunch." Aiden said as we followed him into a closed door room.
"Harry, you old chap how are you?" Aiden said walking over to...OMG is that Prince Harry?!?!!
"Aiden mate how have you been. It's been ages." He said giving Aiden a hand shake
I peered over at Siobhan and Finnley and they were not phased that he was here.
"I have been well. I have just gotten back home. I was in the states. I see your brother is building quite the little family." Aiden said
"Oh Yes, Georgie and little Lottie. The only reason I spend so much time with my brother. Just kidding." He laughed I couldn't help but watch the exchange between 2 old friends.
"Well 1 day that can be you but for now just enjoy that you can hand them off." Finnley said coming over to hug Harry.
"Your right Finn I didn't think of that...so this must be your neighbor and her parents....Hello, I'm Harry." He said keeping 1 arm around Finnley and waving with the other. He let go of Finnley
"Yes, Your Royal Highness. I am Victoria and these are my parents Frank and Olivia Kingsley" I nervously got out and failed miserably at trying to complete a curtsy. I just thank God I didn't fall.
"please don't fret about protocol we're all mates here. Its lovely to meet you Victoria" he said and reached out to shake my hand. I sort of felt this zap like feeling. I looked him in the eye. We starred for a moment before we snapped out of our trance and he reached out and shook my father's
hand and then my mother "Hello sir, ma'am...how do you do?"Finnley and Siobhan looked at each other and grinned. Wait till I get those girls alone.
After introductions were over we were all seated and Harry and I sat across from each other.
"So Harry, Are you going to the Polo Match?" Siobhan asked
"Sio, of course. Its my match I am hoping to whip Wills' arse this time" he said looking down the table to her and Finnley.
We ate and chatted and by end of brunch I was hoping that I would see him again before the Polo Match.
