Princess of a Lost Kingdom ch5

"Rise and shine sleeping beauty!!" I yelled. Jax jumped up which made him hit his head on the top of the roof. Dummy. "Jax get up! We're here! Well I drove us to a motel since we're going to need somewhere to stay while we look for the painting." Jax groaned but sat up and got out of the car. I already had the bag of clothes on my back with the book tucked under my arm. Jax was so tired that he needed to sleep so I told him to rest. He's been driving so long so I made him get in the back. But he doesn't trust me! I'm an amazing driver.

"Phee? Mm I'm so sweepy!" Jax mumbled. Ugh he's so annoying when you wake him up!

"Jax, babe, you can sleep when we get into the hotel." I tell him trying to support his weight. I walk him to the door and hold him up while getting the key for the door. I open it up and pull him into the room. I lock the door and push him onto the bed. "Jax!!! If you don't wake up I'll kick you. Wake up!!" I shouted.

"FINE!!" He yelled back grumbling about how I was inconsiderate and how mean I was. I swear he's worst then a nine year old who stayed up late playing video games when you try to wake him.

I remember the first time we met. But that's a story best told for another time. Preferably with Jax fully awake.

"Jax! Get up! Go take a shower or something!" I yelled. Jax sat up and slowly made his way to the bathroom. This boy is going to bother me! As he was taking a shower I started reading the book hopefully to find more clues as to where this painting could be hiding.

Prince Vladimir wasn't the only heir to the thrown. He had a younger brother and sister who wished to become the next ruler. When Prince Vladimir had disappeared the brother and sister fought for the thrown. When the Prince returned he had to fight his brother for the title to the kingdom. He had never told a single sole where he had been and what made him return.

Jax gets out and dresses in the bathroom. After he was dressed he threw his wet towel at me! I went into the bathroom with my things and took a quick shower. As I was getting dressed I looked at the birth mark that was on my left shoulder that looked like a crown. At least that's what Jax told me when he first noticed it when I wore a tank top when we were younger. I pulled on a tank top and skinny jeans and pulled my hair into a ponytail. I walked out of the bathroom finding Jax on the bed with the book. He was flipping pages over and over before he abruptly sat up. I gave him a questionable stare before shrugging it off and grabbed my shoes.

"So where are we going?" Jax asked.

"The cafe where my mom and dad met." I answered. He nodded and grabbed his phone and money. I grabbed the book and room key.

"How do you know where it is?" He asked.

"Well when my mom used to talk about my she I always asked for her to tell me about them meeting. It was my favorite story! So I asked a lot of questions when I was little and remember the cafe."

"But what if it's like I don't know different? Or has no significance?" Jax asked.

"You ask to many questions!" I said as we walked down the street. "Hey Jax do you know how to hail a cab?" I asked. He shook his head. Crap! "Well we're screwed." I said. Just then a lady walked up and raised her hand a waved down a cab.

Jax and I started open mouthed! Wow! Jax and I both tried before I finally hailed a cab! "Bam! Beat that!" I shouted. Onlookers chuckled at my excitement while my poor little not able to hail a cab Jax rolled his eyes. We got in and I told the driver to take us to the cafe. He seemed like he didn't know what I was talking about for a moment but had this look of knowing.

Jax grabbed my hand and squeezed it. He's always doing that. It's weird. But nice.

Jax paid the cab driver as we got out. He pulled me into his arms and led us into the cafe. The little bell jingled signaling a customer has arrived. We sat at a little table in the corner just as my dad had done. Jax held my hand as I started to doubt myself. What if this is a big scam? Jax and I are gonna be in so much trouble! All because of this scavenger hunt! What if Jax hates me after this? What if-
