"Hello my beauty, how did you sleep?" Charlie's voice said while I fluttered open my eyes. He sat up against our bed in the prince and princess room without a shirt on, he looked so hot.
I smiled at the sight. "I slept wonderful and sure did wake up wonderful."
"Well i'm glad." He bent down to kiss my forehead since he knew how much I have always hated morning breath kisses. "I'm happy you woke up when you did as well." He carried on. I sat up, leaning to place my head on his chest while he sat holding the newspaper in his hands.
"Oh? Why's that?"
He looked away from the paper and to my face. "You liked my parents and siblings last night right? Was it all okay?" He changed the subject.
"Yes, they were all so generous. I see where you get it from. You have so many brothers! I couldn't keep track!" I laughed, still a bit dozy from my sleep.
"Hahah, yes we all look a bit similar I guess. Anyways though, I was thinking we could go back home to the U.K with them today? They're leaving at lunchtime and we can go with so I can show you my home town perhaps?" My fiancé suggested. I got super excited, nodding immediately.
"Yes! Let's go!" I answered him, hugging him a bit tighter. Charlie laughed at me, rubbing my arm in our embrace.
"Right then, let's get packing and ready. We can send Barry to inform your parents and Alissa that we'll be off on our adventure today."
"Okay. You're family is alright with us coming along right? Me coming along?" I asked Charlie, both of us getting out of bed and starting to make our comfy bed.
"Of course! They'll be so happy we're coming." I smiled widely. Wow...I get to see where Charlie grew up.

"Phenomenal view isn't it?" Charlie's mother brought up while we both stared outside the plane window.
"Oh my goodness it's just wonderful. I have flown a bit in my life but I don't remember a lot of the times since I was asleep. I love the views the best. Especially over the ocean and sunset." I shook my head, eying outside.
The queen laughed elegantly with her feminine giggle. She was very posh and ladylike, she seemed like a marvellous queen. A marvellous person in general as well.
"You love Charlie. He loves you. I still cannot believe it after only a few weeks..." His mother said. I looked at her bright smile. She was super happy for her son and I could tell in her face. I nodded at her then looked over my shoulder at Charlie sitting by the back of the plane, laughing with four of his brothers.
"I cannot wait to marry your son. He's...so special. He'd be an amazing king, an amazing father, an amazing husband. I can't wait to build our lives together."
The queen watched me as I spoke to her. She brought her tea cup to her lips and took a sip then replied to me. "He's an original one. All of my sons are so gentlemanly. Jake and Charlie the most." She giggled. I laughed along with her.
Jake, yes. Charlie's brother who complimented my family's beauty gene. I promised him a dance but never got to it since the party wounded down last night before I could.
"Oh yes Jake. Him and Jake have such a similar personality and smile i've noticed. Maturity as well." I commented.
"You're right on that one."
We sat drinking our tea for a bit, talking to some of the brothers that came to chat with us for a bit. "Charlie told me you sing Amanda?" The king brought up while all the brothers, Charlie's parents and Charlie and I sat together on the extended seats. I blushed and looked to my fiancé who gushed with happiness.
"She's an amazing singer..." Charlie shook his head in awe. I smiled at one of his daily compliments.
"Well then you'll have to sing for us Amanda!" One of the brothers called out, making the others agree. The queen and king nodded along.
I looked to Charlie who nodded at me. "You're incredible love, just do it."
"Okay! I'll sing one song." I agreed, clearing my throat and prepping to sing one of my favourite songs.
"I am not the only traveler
Who has not repaid his debt
I've been searching for a trail to follow again
Take me back to the night we met
And then I can tell myself
What the hell I'm supposed to do
And then I can tell myself
Not to ride along with you
I had all and then most of you, some and now none of you
Take me back to the night we met
I don't know what I'm supposed to do, haunted by the ghost of you
Oh take me back to the night we met
When the night was full of terror
And your eyes were filled with tears
When you had not touched me yet
Oh take me back to the night we met
I had all and then most of you, some and now none of you
Take me back to the night we met
I don't know what I'm supposed to do haunted by the ghost of you
Take me back to the night we met"
The family all clapped loudly and yelled out compliments. I curtsied and laughed, sitting back down and holding my fiancé's hand. I blushed from nervousness while they all chatted about it amongst themselves.
I felt very welcomed and at home here. In our family.
"Look! There's our castle!" Charlie pointed out the window while the plane flew low to the ground. I gasped at the beautiful building.
"It's amazing! I love it babe."
"I knew you would love it here. It's our type of element don't you think? Lots of space outside for our walks?" He laughed, keeping his voice a bit down in our conversation.
"Yes, I can't wait to walk your grounds with you."
"I can't wait to bring our family here one day."
