"Jeanette, Dad would be proud of you"
Mary said as Jeanette got ready for a meeting with the Royal advisers about her coronation as the new Queen.
"Thanks, you don't know how much that means to me."
Jeanette responded
"Just remember not to get on Mr and Mrs Philippe's bad side,you know they don't like you and would have been in line to the throne if you didn't accept,just ignore everything they say and you'll be alright."
Mary advised.
"Hey,the ones who never liked Dad,well you don't have to tell me twice." Jeanette replied as she tied her shoelaces.
"You know we have to go to Dad's grave.....right?"
Jeanette paused in her actions and said sadly "Yeah.... I'll try to remember that"
"Hey cheer up okay, it was a month ago dad died." Mary said as she helped her sister tie a bow on her dress. "Yeah,but it still hurts,a year after I lost Mom,I lost Dad."
Mary sighed and forced a smile before she said bravely "We're gonna be okay." Jeanette inspired by her sister's words smiled and hugged her,she pulled away from her after a while smiled and hurried out of the room, down the stairs and into the awaiting Mercedes Benz.
At the meeting, Mr and Mrs Philippe seem grumpy and don't agree with anything Jeanette says.
"We have to forge an alliance with the King of Spain and England." Jeanette said seriously. "Nonsense, we don't need those scumbags to tell us what to do.....your Highness, we can take care of ourselves. Our armies are strong, our crops are one of the best in the world,we are a very rich nation and besides we have good tourist attractions. We definitely do not need Spain or England, we'll be fine on our own." Mrs Philippe scoffed.
"But,we are not as strong. If there was war,we are most unlikely to survive a hit." Jeanette reasoned.
"See,she prefers those foreign countries to ours,because she grew up in America." Mr Philippe said angrily.
Jeanette looked at Mr Philippe in shock. "Why will I ever prefer foreign countries to my father land?Mr Philippe I'm totally surprised at you,how can you think of such a thing?" "And exactly who are you to talk to my husband like that? Who do think you are?" Mrs Philippe said getting in Jeanette's face.
"Fiona,that's enough!" Mr Gustav said shapely. Mrs Philippe looked at Mr Gustav narrowed her eyes and went back to her seat,her nasty beady eyes still fixed on Jeanette.
The meeting was nowhere near successful and Jeanette ended it earlier than planned seeing the meeting was going nowhere and that Mr and Mrs Philippe were never going to agree with anything she said.
She got out of the hall and was about to enter her car when she saw Chris walk over to her "Hey,your sister told me you'll be here." Jeanette smiled at him and said "Well then,here I am"
Jeanette walked over him and gave him a hug "What do you say we go over to a café and grab a cup of coffee." Chris suggested.
"Sure,I'll love to" Jeanette said as she followed Chris to a nearby café.
"What will you order? It's on me."
Chris offered as they sat down.
"Oh wow,thanks but I don't wanna ..."
"Don't worry about it, I'm cool with it,cmon lemme give a treat after what's happened to you." Chris said cutting her short. Jeanette sighed and said "Okay,I guess I'll have a cup of pepper mint latte with extra cream if you don't mind." Chris smiled went over to order table and came back with two medium sized cups of coffee.
"How was the meeting?" Chris asked as he handed her the cup of coffee.
"I have three words to describe the meeting, it was terrible." Jeanette said after she took her cup and was sipping the contents. "Well,must have been tough." Chris said in sympathy.
"Yeah,it was,and I'm gonna go for another tomorrow." Jeanette said in frustration. Chris reached out and held her hand,Jeanette blushed and continued to sip her coffee. "
"I guess we should get going don't you think?" Chris asked now caressing her hand. "Yeah,I guess so." Jeanette replied almost chocking on her coffee from Chris's touch. They walked to her car "I guess I'll see you around." Chris said now letting go of her hand, Jeanette nodded and was about to open her car when Chris kissed her. ************************************Jeanette touched her lip again as she sat on her bed,the kiss was perfect and he even asked her out. Jeanette smiled laid down and closed her eyes, she thought everything was perfect.
Alas,good things do not always last forever.
