The Princess & The Pauper (MJ Love Story Book 1)

Chapter 3: Good Ridance Prince Charles

That night when Elizabetha goes to sleep, she looks out the window and sees Michael. She smiles and yell-whispers,"Michael, come in here." "But, men are not allowed to go inside a mistress' bedroom after 10 if not married." "Well, maybe you can be my little rule breaker." He gets nervous and thinks about how nervous he always gets in front of Elizabetha. He climbs up to her window and she pulls him in. He falls on the floor and says sarcastically,"See, I always fall in front of people." She playfully rolls her eyes. She sits on the bed and pats a spot for him to sit,"Come here." "Wait a minute, aren't you suppose to be with Prince Charles?" She looks down and says,"My father said that I could let him go, but I couldn't tell anyone cause of me being a woman so, please don't tell anyone!" "I won't, you can trust me!" He puts his hand up and he knocks down her makeup items. He quickly opens his eyes and looks behind him. He blushes and says,"Sorry about that." "It's okay." He sits down by Elizabetha.

She looks at him and says,"You know, maybe you could stay with us for a while, you look like a pauper." "I am, I don't make much money from what I do." He looks down sadly. She puts her hand on his and says,"You can definitely stay with us." He looks up at her and says,"I may seem like a gentleman but I have a very dirty mouth." "You can use that to contradict my father since I can't." He half smiles and she smiles. For some odd reason, Elizabetha was actually starting to like the pauper. He was a gentleman, nice, down to earth, and very handsome. She would rather marry him than Charles. They both got up and Michael was blushing like crazy. Michael added,"I guess i will." He smiles and follows Elizabetha downstairs. Michael sees her father and gulps in nervousness. Her father looks up at them and says,"And what is this fool doing here?" "For your information father, he's here because he needs a place to stay and-" "Well I can assure you he's not staying here." She looks sadly at him and begs,"Please, you already let me out of Charles business, please let him stay. He's more than a fool." He takes a deep breathe and says slowly,"Okay, If you really want him here." She claps and kept saying yes in happiness. She grabs Michael's arm and they go back upstairs.

He sits down on her bed and says,"Do you really want me staying here? What if I become a bother." "Oh, you won't." She sits down next to him and says,"You can help me around the castle, i can show you around the castle so you can get used to it." "That's very sweet of you, but I'll stick to entertaining." She looks into his eyes and says,"I just now noticed one thing about you." "What?" "Your hair, it's long and curly. Most men don't have long hair." "Yeah, a lot of people say that I need to get it cut because I look like a homeless person." They chuckle a bit and she says,"You don't look homeless, besides, I like my men with a little danger to them. With your hair, I've never really seen a man with long hair." "Well, now you have." He chuckles nervously.
