#7

As the carriage stops at Grover's mansion, My heart begins to beat out of proportion.

I can do this..

I'm the Princess...

The coachman opens the door and I walk out holding my gown delicately.

I stand in front of the mansion for like two minutes hoping I don't throw up on someone or make things bad.

I take deep breaths and take steps into the hall.

There's someone at the door, calling guests I suppose.

When I step in,

"The... "

"Shh.. I don't want that please "

"But your majesty.. "

"Please? "

He smiles and nods and I take easy steps down the stairs.

I wished people didn't notice but my dress glittered and so did my hair so I really wasn't hard to miss.

I feel many stares on me and I felt like the ground should swallow me.

Then my heart stopped. The tall figure walks up to me with a smirk on his face that enlightens his emerald green eyes. Grover...

"Welcome Princess " he says huskily and I feel myself shiver in unknown feelings.

I gulp and nod. He lifts my hand to his lips and kisses it. That caused my pulse to beat faster.

"Well may I have this dance?.."

"Of course Grover.. "

As he whisks me away he whispers to my ears "I love when you call my name.. "

My insides flutter.  I loved his everything.

Luckily for me, I wasn't a terrible dancer and I managed not to step on his foot. His hands fixed around my waist and my hands linger on his shoulders.

When the song was over, I courtesy and he bows.

He interlaces his hand with mine.

"You're a terrific dancer dear "

"So as you " I say trying to sound very poise about it.

But deep down, I'm melting. I'm melting fast!

"Let's walk.. I want to show you something "

But just before we leave, someone whispers something in his ear. I see his face straighten and his eyes narrow

"Will you please excuse me?  I've got something to handle "

"Of course. "

Not!  

I could do this. I mean, I spoke to some people here on a normal day.

When he leaves,  two girls walk up to me. 

I sense trouble..

"Your majesty " the first girl courtesies.

The second follows later.

I say nothing.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Princess "

I tug unto a small smile "You also. "

"Are you enjoying the ball? "

I nod.

"Is Grover a good dancer? " the first girl asks. She has olive eyes that goes well with her light hair that almost looks white.  She has freckles on her cheeks and full lips. She is acceptable to look at.
