Love in London

Gossip Girl

I woke before Harry this morning. I got up, carefully extricating myself from his arm around my stomach, and went to go freshen up. Glancing at the clock on the wall I notice it was 8:15 am.

After my morning routine I left the bathroom and bedroom and out into the kitchen in search of caffeine. I pulled out 2 juice glasses, my 'dress like Lorelai' coffee mug and 'Mischief Managed' mug for Harry.

I made a cup of coffee and then went to the fridge to pull out the creamer, orange juice and the supplies to make breakfast.

Fixing my coffee I pulled my cook book out flipped through until I found my Grandmom's recipe for pancakes.

I mixed the batter up and then "Hail to the Chief" started to play. I put my mixing bowl down and went and grabbed my USA phone. I picked it up off of the coffee table and saw that it was "F.L.O.T.U.S" and immediately answered.

"Hi Michelle. what are you doing up so late?" I asked her.

"Hi Sweetie. just finished a Gala and I wanted to check on you. you didn't get a chance to respond to my email yet."

Face palm 🤦🏼‍♀️

"I'm so sorry Michelle. I just have been so busy."
"So I have been reading. Those are really cute pictures they put in the paper from yesterday. You both look so smitten and that kiss. Wow.

"What pictures?" I asked going and grabbing my iPad off of the coffee table.

"You haven't seen them? They are trending online"

"I swear I didn't see anyone taking pictures."

"They are there just search Prince Harry American Girlfriend"

I typed it into the google search and it came back with 5,000 results.

I clicked on images because I don't really want to read and gossip right now.

There were photos of Harry pulling up in front of my apartment seeing photographers and the him going around to park out back. Then there were pictures of us getting into the Range Rover and driving off.
The must have followed us because the next picture was the two of us hand in hand walking into Thorpe Park. They took our pictures on a roller coaster. Us playing games walking holding hands and our prizes we won. There were pictures of us getting back in the car. There were photos of us on the dock for the river boat. Then us at the front of the Boat. The kiss they had in several angles close ups distance shots. They even had shots of us walking up to the helicopter. Harry putting the restraints on me. Him getting in the helicopter is taking off. Our return to the helipad and a particular shot of us kissing on the helipad #thatkiss

"Did I loose you there ... Victoria? ... Victoria?"

"I'm still here I am sorry I was just looking through the photos. I did not see one camera yesterday."

"Oh good I didn't loose you. Don't worry about it kiddo this is life in the limelight. Anyway. How is my friend Harry doing?" She asked

"He is wonderful."I couldn't help but smile.

"That's wonderful I had a feeling when I first met you that you and him would be perfect for each other. Listen kiddo I have to run. Barack is waving hello."

"Tell Barack I said hello. Alright Michelle have a good night and I'll keep in touch I promise"

"Night kiddo" said said and hung up.

I stared at the pictures for a few more moments and went back to making breakfast. I grabbed my coffee cup and poured in creamer and sugar stirring and then taking a big gulp.
