The ball

Taylor's POV

I was just entering through the kings doors when I saw my father talking to the king. I walked to them when I heard my name being called from across the room. "Taylor", "Taylor"! I turned around and it was my best friend lily.

"Hi"! I said walking toward her.

"Oh my gosh I need to tell you something". she said in a way of bad news. "I heard the king and your dad talk about the wedding between you and Charlie". (Charlie is the kings son)

"No". I said in a shocked and in an frustrating voice. "I can't believe my dad is doing this to me, I don't even like him and he's still pushing marriage done my throat"?
Just when I was done talking to lily my dad called me from across the room.

"Taylor come here please"!
I was so upset but I promised myself that I won't show it.

"Coming"! I said while I was walking toward them. When I was standing side by side with them Charlie came. (Just another way to blow my mind)

"Hi Taylor"

"Hi" I said back. I don't think he knows that I don't like him but sometimes he pushes the limit I get really annoyed.

"Listen dad I'm going to go and talk to Emily, lily, Sara and Trisha. I'll be back in 30 minutes.

"No I need to talk to you in a few minutes about something". Well I already know what he's going to talk about. I stood there pretending I didn't know what he was going to tell me. But I did.

"Taylor I need to tell you something.Me and Edward(the king)were talking and Charlie would like to ask your hand in marriage". I was standing there with a blank face. In front of the king what did they won't me to say YES? No I wasn't going to say that just to make them happy. I need some way for me to get out of this problem.

"Ummm.... Wow so soon talking about marriage? Ummm... I took a pause and thank God the queen called me.

"Taylor I have something for you".

"Oh ummm I'll answer that question later let me think about it though".
I walked over to her with her welcoming me to her big warm smile.

"I wanted to give this to you". It was a ruby neckless it was so pretty.

"Thank you". I said with a smile. "Your so thought full".

"Oh no it wasn't me who gave it to you it was this young man, he told me to give this to you for a gift". Who is this young man? I kept questioning myself in my head.

"If you see him again tell him I say thank you". when we split our ways I didn't even bother to go back to my father cause I was afraid he would ask that question again and I would have to answer it. I made my way to my friends. they saw my ruby neckless and they gasped.

"My god Taylor were did you get that"?

"The queen gave it to me. But she gave it to me cause a young man told her to". There mouths open there were like in blank mode. lily asked me,

"Do you think you will see him"?

"You know I don't know but all I know is that I want to know who this young man is"?
