Chapter XII
"So let's start with the first thing on the agenda, the fundraiser." My father said while looking around. This office brought me back to the day I first saw Char, It made my stomach uneasy.
The palace is holding a fundraiser for people that don't have houses. We're planning in raising enough money to open up twenty homeless shelters, so people aren't so homeless. I wouldn't mind coming to these meetings, except for the fact that Char has to sit right across from me. I couldn't help but feel him glance at me a couple times, it kinda made me want to throw up.
"What made you decide to come?" He leaned in and whispered to my ear. His mint like breath was hitting my ear. "And where's your bodyguard?" He said in a sarcastic tone.
"Well I really don't think any of that is your business,is it?" I said not looking at him, I gave him a side smirk.
"Well I just think it would be a real shame if something happened to you now and he's not here to protect you." The tone in his voice made me feel sick, what if something happened to me?
Well Noah's to busy with Sawyer.
"Isabelle?" I recognized my fathers voice.
"Yes father?" I said way to fast.
"Would you be able to greet the guest as they come in?" He said looking at me with a smile.
"Of course, I would love to." I smiled and looked around the table. All the random men and women sitting down we're smiling at me.
After a couple minutes with my dad telling everyone how important this fundraiser is, everyone got up and left including my father. I started to gather up my things and making my way to the door, until I saw someone waiting by the door.
Char.
"What do you want?" My tone was icy.
"Isabella? Do you not understand the fact that were going to be married in less than a month?" My stomach started to ache. "I'm not against you Bella, so stop acting like I am." His voice actually sounded sincere, and his eyes looked somewhat warm. Ever since I saw Char, he's made me feel uneasy. And I don't know if it's wether I don't know him, or because of the situation were in. But I never thought about how he feels towards all this, maybe he doesn't even want to marry me, and doesn't know what to do. We stayed quite for a little bit, and his eyes were fixed on mine. His icy blue eyes became warmer by the second." Take a walk with me Bella." He gestured his hand towards the door and looked at me.
For some reason I walked towards him and then past him. I felt him walk behind me and we made it out of the palace. I started walking towards the garden, I loved the flowers this time of year.
"You know Bella, when I was about ten or eleven years old I had a huge garden right outside my bedroom. All types of flowers, and vegetables." I looked at him and he was looking all over the garden. It seemed like he was admiring, or is he remembering." The mint plant was my favorite, it calms me down. The smell of the freshness, it lightens me up." He smiled and glanced at me.
"What happened to the garden?" I asked a little to fast.
"Well, it was my fifteenth birthday and my father asked me to show him the garden. So of course I was excited and I wanted to show him the plants, so I named everyone of them for him. He didn't say a word, he just wore a straight face the whole time. Then when I was done he told me that I'm older now, that I need to grow up." The smile on his face vanished, and he kneeled down to look at the sunflower." So he pulled out his lighter and threw it in between all the plants. After that I never tried planting anything." He got up and turned to face the row of flowers that have been growing.
"I'm sorry about that Char." I tried to get his attention. This guy seems harmless, he's just lost in a way.
"It's okay, now tell me what's up with that bodyguard? What's his name Nark? or something?" I smiled at his attempt.
"His name is Noah, and nothing he's just my bodyguard." I turned away from him.
"Just? Bodyguard? Wow good one Bella." He said giving me a smirk.
"What's that suppose to mean?" I said way to fast. I avoided looking at him.
"It means that you like him Bella." He said a little to blunt.
"I do not. Plus I think he likes someone else." He stayed silent for awhile. He then moved to face me.
"Well Bella, the fact that we have to get married, or arranged to might drive him away. But don't worry, I got this." After a moment of being shocked, the tension I've had for the last couple of minutes has faded.
"What do you mean you got this?" I smirked without realizing.
"What I mean is that if you actually like him I can help you." He smiled.
"But how would that even work if were suppose to he married?" I was confused.
"Princess, you worry way to much." With that he started walking back into the palace leaving me completely, and utterly speechless.
Who knew Char would be like this? You know?
Normal?
