Jeanette's POV
I ran to my car and started it.
I decided I could get home faster if I took a short cut that my driver followed sometimes.
The car moved and all was going well until I was in the middle of no where,the car packed up and stopped instantly. I got out and kicked the car which only resulted in a broken toe nail,I wiggled in pain and muttered until my breath
Dang it.
I tried to call my car insurance company but their was clearly no network here,I sighed.
Looks like I'm walking until I reach civilization and ask for help to toll my car,when dad was alive this never happened, he made sure of that.
I took my hand bag and phone and started the long walk to who knows where.
My feet are killing me,I knew I shouldn't have worn heels and curse this long dress,ugh I think I'm gonna die. This dress is slowly turning brown,because of the mud all over the road,Ivy will definitely kill me.
Just when I thought everything was going wrong,it became worse...as I was walking, I got my foot stuck in a mud puddle
Yuck!!!!!
I tucked and pulled trying to get my leg out of the disgusting mixture of brown sand and water. I pulled harder and my foot came out...just my foot which was covered in mud,Ivy's heel however was still stuck in the mud. I couldn't use my hands to pick it up..uh uh,no way. I have not fallen that low,I may have lost my mother,father and kingdom but I'm not losing my dignity too. I left the expensive designer hand stitched heel in the mud and kept walking with only one shoe on,I think I walked about mile when the heel of the other shoe broke.
Ugh...why me?!!!
I almost cried not because of the very expensive heel,but because I sprang my ankle.
Why! Why!! Why!!!
Obviously, I can't keep on walking,I'm a princess, people are supposed to be carrying me. Not that I'm spoiled and enjoy it...I'm just ugh frustrated.
When I was about to give all hope and my dignity and lie down on the muddy road and sulk,a car came my way.
Thank Goodness.
I waved frantically at the car which stopped ,a guy about my age,who was extremely cute and had brown hair and green eyes, came down and asked "Miss,how can I be of assistance?" I heaved a sigh of relief before I answered "Oh,my car broke down,it's about a mile or two away from here."
"I think I may have passed it"
"Really,well could you help me call a tow truck or something."
"Don't you have insurance?"
"Yes, but there's no network here."
"Well,a tow truck will get here in maybe four hours and it's not safe here at that time"
"So,what do you suggest?"
"You can come with me and we'll get to your destination in no time."
"Oh,don't worry I'm pretty sure I don't want to tie you down."
"No,no,no,no,you're not tying anybody down,I'll just drop you at you're destination."
"Thank you! Thank you!!Thank you!!!" I say jumping up and down,then the guy looks down at my bare feet and slightly brown dress.
"Um,must have been a tough walk" I could tell he was trying to hold his laughter. I raised my brow and replied "Yeah,it was and I lost a pair of shoes in the process."
The guy cleared his throat and said meekly "Sorry." I nodded and replied "Apology accepted, now can we leave,I can't stay here another minute."
The guy stretched out his hand for a hand shake "Where are my manners, the name's Diego and you're name is?"
"My name is Jeanette" I said bowing a little. "Princess Jeanette?" He exclaimed "Yeah,anything wrong" I said as I entered the car. "No,it's actually a coincidence, I'm the prince of Mexico." He said before he entered the car"What are doing in Origon? Forget about that, what you're doing on such a toad with a third class car?" I almost screamed while the car zoomed off towards the road. "Okay,one question at a time. I am in Origon because of my princely duties
and I'm trying to get away from my duties and you know live a normal life." He explained as he drove.
"The thing is what were you doing on that road anyway" He asked . I sighed and replied "It's a pretty long story."
"Then give my the abridged version."
I chuckled and explained everything to him briefly, he seemed to be interested in my relationship and Chris. We talked like we were old buddies and when we reached the royal gates,I was actually reluctant and sad to leave my new friend, he smiled at me and said as if he read my mind "Hey,don't worry, I'll come down and visit after supper." I smiled and without even knowing it, I hugged him so tight that he was chocking.
I released him and muttered "Sorry"
He chuckled and said "I haven't received a hug as tight as this since when it was my tenth birthday."
I rolled my eyes and blurted out "How old are you anyway?" He smiled and replied "Well,I'm nineteen and you are?" "I'm eighteen and you're only older than me with one year" I said winking at him. He shook his head "If you don't go home now,we'll be stuck here until tomorrow noon" I laughed and nodded "I see your point,bye anyway,I cause I'll see you at 8:30,cause that's thirty minutes after dinner time and I know the Mexican castle is only twenty minutes from here." Diego shrugged as I came down and he said loud enough for only me to hear "I might come earlier to see your face again." I blushed tomato red,I immediately headed to the gates not wanting Diego to see my red face,I heard the car zoom off and I took a deep breath. I walked to the front door and before I could open the door,it flung open and revealed Mary who hugged me "I thought something went wrong."
"Trust me,everything went wrong,I'll give you some juicy details later."
"Is that why you're not wearing shoes and why you're dress is almost brown." My sister asked as she eyed me like some hawk as I climbed the stairs to my room and my sweet sweet bed.
"Yep" I shouted as I shut my door and jumped on my Queen sized bed and went into a deep sleep and didn't even think of changing into PJs, talk less of showering.
