             * In the altaria garden *

I make my way through the hedge halls , and there in the middle surrounded by flowers and the canopy not to far is roberto in his princely attire standing by a table . A rose in a silver vase in the middle , silverware and napkins on the table , champagne and champagne glasses there too , and roberto standing by my chair looking handsome as usual . But he had that goofball smile on his face that could always make me smile . " Chrissy! You found me! " he smiled . " Yes I'm here roberto , I couldn't deny you a dinner . " I giggled . He opened his arms for me , and I went in for the hug .

As he held me for a few minutes , I had a smile finding it's way to my lips . He then ended it , and pulled my chair out for me . I sat in the chair and he pushed me to the table gently and I giggled . He was so funny when he tried to be a gentlemen , but it's part or being a prince for him . It's different for princesses like me . He sat in his chair , and he poured us both a little bit of champagne . " I'm happy it's my turn with you . " he cheered . " I know robbie you've told me all day since I arrived . " I giggled .
Roberto laughed at the name 'Robbie' , it's a nickname of his I made up . Roberto has nicknames for all of us , mine is 'chrissy' that he uses all the time instead of my real name .

But it's fun , cause sometimes I get tired of being called by my real name . Using a nickname is just more fun the using the real name , and roberto has proved that . I know all the nicknames for all of us .

Edward ~ Eddie , Ed

Glenn ~ Glennykins , Glennypoo , Glenny

Wilfred ~ Wills

Keith ~ Keithster

Roberto ~ Robbie , robbiecakes

Joshua ~ Joshie

Me ~ Chrissy , Chris

Yep . But no one really calls me 'chris' anymore , so it's just 'christina' or 'chrissy' . But it's fun . " So any new songs? " roberto asked . " Um .. not really , I haven't had time to start on one . " I said . " Aw that's too bad cause I love to hear you sing chrissy , you have such a wonderful voice . " he whined but complimented . I giggled smiling , oh roberto so sweet . " Well maybe when I get time I'll make one and you'll be the first to see it . " I said . " Promise? " he asked . He held out his pinky , I giggled more as his childish side was showing .

I linked my pinky finger with his . " I promise . " I smiled . " Yay , so you can't forget or else I'll bug you . " he laughed . " Oh I bet you plan to . " I giggled . Roberto makes me laugh so much , and over the slightest things .
Everyday is a new laugh filled day with roberto , and that means that I won't ever be sad . I'd always be happy if I were with him . " So tommorow is gonna be fun , and I'll be free cause I did tommorow's work so it will be us together tommorow . " roberto smiled .

" That's great roberto , I'm so proud of you . " I smiled back . He had that goofball smile . But I was proud of him . Roberto's usually skipped out on work till alberto really got down on him for it and he did it . And I don't think alberto had to tell him to do it this time . It's great that he's getting it done so he can spend time with me , it makes me happy that he's willing to do things he doesn't want to do so he can make time for the one he loves . That's another one of the things I like about him . I like how he's so determined for something he wants . It makes me happy .

So soon after alberto brought dinner out for us , which he was smiling , and then he left . After eating , roberto had took me to the canopy that had little lantern lights around it . Roberto turned them on and then turned on the slow music . He bowed a bit , and held out his hand towards me . " May I have this dance princess? " he asked . I smiled and giggled . " You may . " I smiled and took his hand . He stood tall , and pulled me close gently . One hand holding mine , and the other on my waist . I see he's being formal . But I like it . I like when he tries to act all mature and princely for me , I like it when he shares it with me .

It makes me smile and laugh when he sometimes fail . But as long as he's trying for me .. then it makes me happy . If I chose roberto , then we'd have a lot of fun each day aside from the royal work and I'd be laughing so much . But otherwise I'd be happy everyday . But this would be a hard choice too , so it's gonna be a tough decision still . So after dancing , me and roberto just sat on the canopy bench . As we sat , we looked at the stars but then I felt something grab my hand . I look down at my hand , and I see roberto's hand holding mine . He looks at me with a smile , and I smile back . He then started to lean in slowly , and I closed my eyes as I leaned in too .

Our lips then met in a slow but gentle kiss .. and it was sweet . But I didn't really feel anything , nothing really .
Just like with edward .. I felt nothing .
As we pulled back slowly , he smiled more and I kept mine small . He still held my hand .. but it felt weird .
It didn't feel like it did when I held hands with joshua .

        * In christina's room *

  Roberto had brought me back to the guest room , and we both walked in .
I walked to my phone and it read

Joshua lieben ~ 6 missed calls

Crap .. Joshua why do you keep calling when I'm busy? You know I'm with the others . Well at least you should know , I mean the other princes should probably be complaining about how it's unfair that I haven't seen them yet . But edward's probably bragging how he got to see me first . Yeah , so he got lucky and probably doesn't have to deal with their complaining . Neither does roberto , cause I'm here with him . My brother probably just listens in so he knows what kingdom I'm at now so he knows I'm okay . I miss wilfred and home . Again .

              * Later *

I was slipping on my nightgown when my phone rang again , and I grabbed it . The caller ID read Joshua , so I answered it . " Hey I'm here . " I said . " I'm glad , and I'm sorry I keep calling at a bad time I just don't know time your back in the guest room . " he apologized . " It's fine , besides if I knew then I'd let you know . But I really don't . " I said . I sighed and o heard him chuckle . " I heard from roberto that your at his place . " he said . " Yep , I'm at altaria but I don't know what kingdom I'm going to next . Hopefully yours . " I said . " I hope so too , I wanna see you . " he said . I smiled knowing that he wanted to see me just as bad as I wanted to see him .
" Well maybe the next kingdom I go to will be yours . " I said . " Maybe . " he said . I smiled again . " So how'd your day go? " I asked . " Not so bad , just filled with work and the maids are always getting stuff ready for you . My father even wants everything to be perfect for when you come , he's been aging at me to plan stuff for us to do . " he said . Wow . That's a huge suprise , I didn't know that . " That's a suprise . " I said . " Yeah , but it's good cause I probably wouldn't of found anything in time if he hadn't say something . " he said . " So .. what do you have planned? " I asked . " Well stuff you'd want to do , but I'm still working on some stuff . It should probably be done by the time you arrive here . " he said .

I smiled , it made my heart flutter that he thought of me when he's planning stuff for us to do . " So what are you doing with roberto tommorow? " he asked . " I'm not sure , but he told me to be dressed nicely and be ready for fun . " I said . " Uh - Oh , that doesn't sound good . " he said . " Yeah , but he's trying that's all that matters . " I giggled . " Yeah , it's all that matters . " he said . It had started to darken outside , and I started to get tired .
" Well I guess I should let you get to bed , a princess needs her beauty sleep . " he said . " You too your highness . " I giggled . I heard him chuckle , was it really that funny?

" Goodnight christina . " he said .
" Goodnight joshua . " I said back . I then hung up , and then I put my phone on charger as I let my head hi the pillow and laid down .
