My Cinderella Story

Chapter 2

Hollis' P.O.V.

Today was the day of the ball!! It was always my dream to go to one but i know i had to work it tonight. I got up and walked down into the kitchen.

"Good morning Jane!" I said putting my apron on.

"Good morning Hollis! Are you ready for the big night tonight?" She asked. I rolled my eyes.

"I guess. It will be crazy and i will be swamped but whatever." I added.

"No! Come with me!" She said taking my hand and pulling me out into the garden.

"What?" I asked her.

"Tonight, you are going to the ball. I am making sure you get your night tonight." She told me.

"What? I have to work. Kit and the king will know that im there!" I replied.

"No they wont. They have only ever seen you in dirty work clothes and your hair a mess. And if you put makeup on, that will fool them! It's not like they're going to be looking for you either!" She said.

"I have nothing to wear." I told her.

"Well, it's a good think i am a seamstress too and i have been working on a dress for you since i knew this was happening." She replied.

"Really?!" I asked.

"Yes! Now go and give the king and the prince breakfast then we will get ready!" She said.

"Okay! Thank you again!" I replied running upstairs. I knocked on the kings door.

"Come in!" He yelled. I walked in.

"Good morning your highness!!!!" I said with a smile.

"Someone is in a good mood today!!" He replied.

"I am! I think it the excitement for tonight!" I told him.

"Ah! I would like a nice bowl of oatmeal today!" He said.

"Okay!! I will be back!" I replied. I told the guard what he wanted and the guard took the order to the kitchen. I walked down the hall and went to Kit's room. When i got there, i knocked.

"Come in." I heard someone grunt. I walked inside his room and saw him still sleeping.

"Good morning Kit!!!! Rise and shine!!! It's the big day and its a great day!!" I said spinning around and opening the curtains.

"Close them!!" He yelled at me.

"It's time to get up!" I told him. "What do you want for breakfast?" I asked.

"I don't want anything. It's too early." He replied. I climbed onto the other side of his bed and ran my fingers through his hair.

"Did you have too much to drink last night?" I asked moving the hair away from his face.

"Not at all. I didn't get good sleep and please keep playing with my hair. That feels great." He said. I laughed at him.

"I will only continue if you tell me what you want for breakfast." I replied.

"No because if i tell you, you have to go and make it." He told me.

"You are right." I said.

"Im going to have someone else make my breakfast today then." He added.

"No because then someone will have to bring it in and they will see us." I replied.

"Ugh. Please make me breakfast and come back." He told me.

"Okay." I said laughing and walking out. I went downstairs and made breakfast. When i finished, i walked back upstairs and gave the king his breakfast. I walked down the hall and walked into Kit's room. He was still laying in bed. "You really need to get out of bed." I said laughing.
