Finding Her Duke

Prologue

"But Mumma, I want to hear the story", the 4 year old whined.

"Oh princess," sighed the soon to be Queen, Melissa ,"okay, but this is the last story okay, after this you have to go to sleep"

"Yes yes yes ", nodded Adelynn, who was excited to hear the story of her beloved parents. She had already heard the story a hundred times before but it still wasn't enough for her.

The mother giggled and began:
" I was in the first year of college and your father was in his final year.
I was the awkward nerd with the thick glasses and oversized sweaters and your father was the most charming player of the football team. You could call him a jock, though "

"What is a 'jock', Mumma?" ,enquired the Princess innocently.

"No interrupting baby, you'll know the meaning later," smiled the mother as she lovingly gazed at the unique blue eyes that she loved.

"So," she continued, " one day, when I was in the library looking for some books for my assignment, "Jack, your father stumbled in, and the entire library got empty! All the students rushed out faster than I could say 'what'! When I tried to go out too, Jack stopped me and went on his knees"
The Princess was looking at her mother with wide eyes filled with excitement.

        Melissa chuckled and continued, " To say I was shocked would be an understatement, baby, I was beyond confused! So I continued looking at Jack but he was just staring at me with wide eyes. It was something about his eyes that I couldn't look away either."

" It was supposed to be a prank. He had to propose me to be his girlfriend and when I said 'yes', he had to laugh at my face and leave. I was used to such pranks you know, I was the target for such pranks. But when Jack explained it to me in the library, I admit I was hurt. I got up to leave but Jack held my hand. He made me face him and removed my glasses. He tugged the band off which held my hair in a ponytail and put his hand in my hair. It was a beautiful moment, princess, he just kept his eyes only on my face and whispered, "Beautiful" , for a second I thought I stopped breathing ," You're beautiful, Mell"

" He raised his hand in front of him and asked me to hold his hand, I did as he told me. When we held my hand, it was like our palms were the perfect fit for each other. I was so confused but Jack just looked at me and grinned, "Perfect," he said. And that's when he asked me to be his girlfriend. It was weird you know baby, we had just met but there was a connection, an instant feeling that both of us couldn't deny. That's how we met, love, and the rest is history", smiled the mother gently.

She chuckled as she saw that Princess Adelynn was already asleep. She kissed her forehead.
"Goodnight and sweet dreams, baby," she whispered and left the room.
