Kissing girls (GXG)

36

I feel so tired, traveling to a new world really took it out of me.

"Would you like me to take you to your room?" Benji whispers to me, me him and Blake have been chatting together all through this meal, he's a nice guys. The others talk to themselves, probably not wanting to trigger  me again.   

"My room?" I ask, I hadn't even thought about the sleeping arrangements.

"Made with a princess in mind" the king says from across apparently he has been listening into our conversation.

"Thanks" I say blushing slightly.

"You're a princess now you should expect to be treated like one" the king says again. Something tells me he really wants my approval...

"Right." I say, not having anything else to say.

"Me and Victor where wondering of you wanted to have lunch with us later, you know to get to know each other better." my mum suggests.

"Can Blake come?" I ask, almost emotionlessly. I don't know either of theses people and I want Blake to be there to support me.

"Um, actually we thought it would be nice to be alone." my mum says, looking slightly flustered.

"Fine." I mumble. "Can you take us to our room?" I ask Benji.

"I'll take you" King Victor states standing from the table.

Me, Blake and Victor all walk down the hall in silence. I can tell Victor wants to say something really badly but he doesn't know how to put it into words. This man is very physically intimidating and watching him squirm while trying to talk to a human girl.

"Here it is." he says, opening the door to a magnificent bedroom.

"Wow" I say looking around the room.

"So you like it then?" Victor asks with a hopeful look.

"Yeah, it's nice" I shrug while Blake runs to the big four post bed and flops down on to it.

"Good, we didn't know what you liked" he says.

"I know." I mumble sadly, my own mother doesn't know my likes and dislikes.

"She feels bad for neglecting you." Victor says desperately. I glare at him, like her knows what it's like.

"Can you leave, I want to sleep." I say shortly.

Victor sighs and nods, walking out the room.

He just wants to make me happy so my mum is, he doesn't care about me. I wont let him blind me with material items and flashy titles. It will take more then that for me to forgive my mum for the mental abuse I suffered. Sure I'll be civil but I'm not going to brush the past off like it was nothing.

"You okay little miss sassy pants?" Blake asks from our bed.

I smile shyly and climb into the bed next to her. She kisses me lightly on the head and with that I fall to sleep.

"What do I do? Just shake her?" a woman's voice asks enviously above me.

"You can do it honey" a males voice says slightly further away. I squeeze my eyes tighter, trying to block them out.

"Scarlet" my mum shakes me awake. My eyes snap open and I stare at her wide eyed. She looks nervous for my reaction, looking at the door way where Victor stands smiling at her reassuringly.
