Long Live

Chapter Five

Chapter Five

Adele led the group of men through the house where the filming was to take place. It was her home away from the palace, her place to go when she needed to relax and take a break from everything. Her heels echoed through the foyer into the hall.

Each man was right behind her, some weren't impressed but the others were awe struck. She giggled at their expressions, Adele was used to being surrounded by this luxury so it never phased her. Luckily the cameras weren't rolling yet so they could gawk all they wanted to.

She led them into the foyer that was surrounded by a staircase. She loved the feeling of her home being so open. Adele kept a close eye on John as he gazed around the room. She noticed him taking interest in one of her antique rose chairs, maybe it reminded him of something.

Adele let them follow her to the living room area that was covered in ivory and blush pink. It would easily fit her, the men, and the film crew. This was the perfect spot for doing this show. So far she wasn't too happy with it but this was just the beginning.

She took them through the dining room, a small office her dad used when he visited her and a couple of bathrooms just so they knew where they were. Eventually they made their way upstairs to the bedrooms and other rooms.

The producers had numbered the rooms so each of the men had their own and knew whose was whose. Thankfully her home had fifteen bedrooms each with a bathroom so it would be no problem fitting them. She kept her room a secret, no one knew what it was like except for her.

Adele assigned them their rooms before showing them the game room her brother made and the library down the hall. She laughed watching all of them get excited over video games. Never understood those things, she could never figure out why Taylor played them so much.

Once they got back down to the lower floor she took them outside into her garden. Flowers covered every square inch except for the maze and pool. Every time she came out here she felt peaceful. She turned around facing all the handsome men gazing around the garden, "So that's the house you'll staying in while we film it. Go ahead go discover more" she smiled waving her hands to shoo them off.

She laughed watching as they all bolted to the game room. Her phone buzzed as she made her way back into the living room. "Hello?" she answered collapsing on one on the couches.

"Hello sweetie!" her mom chirped through the line, obviously still smitten with the whole bachelorette idea.

"Hi mom! How are things going?"

"Fine, everything's normal" she laughed, Adele had her mothers laugh. Sweet, innocent, and definitely girly. "How's the show coming along?"

"Good I guess, I'm still trying to learn their names" Adele chuckled, it was true she only knew John and Damien at the moment.

Her mom laughed right back with her, "Any catch your interest?"

"A couple actually, all of them are very handsome" she replied. One of the shows rules was to not allow the parents to meet any of the guys until they were down to two or three. Adele looked up to see Damien standing in the door way. "I have to go mom I will talk to you later"

She said her goodbyes and hung up. Adele smiled at Damien letting him know he could join her. He made his way over politely sitting on the couch next to her. His green eyes danced as they gazed around the room taking it every bit of it. "This is your home?" He asked Adele as she nodded, she spent most of her time here. "Why don't you just live in the palace?"

"It's to big for me, plus I like having my own space. There's no rules on what I should say or do in my own home, I feel free here" she smiled seeing his face light up in understanding. "What's your home like?"

"An average home princess Adele, we-"

"Please call me Adele"

He nodded with a smile. "Well we live in a four bedroom two bath so I might get lost in here"

Adele laughed, "That's fine I get lost as well and this is my home"

Damian couldn't take his eyes off her, he was still in shock he even made it on this show. He laughed along with her listening to her sweet laugh. A butler came out into the living room with a warm smile directed at the princess. "Dinner is ready dear"

She nodded as Damian stood with her, "Shall we?"

Adele linked her arm in his as the rest of the men joined them. They walked into the dining room as she tried her hardest remembering who was who, there was so many! She honestly couldn't believe how many men the match maker had picked out for her. She sighed taking her seat at the head of the table, let the insanity begin.
