The Modern Princess

CHAPTER 7

CHAPTER SEVEN

After the wedding celebration we went straight to our new home. He leaped me in to his hands, going up to our bedroom. He stroked my face slowly not removing his eyes on me, he hold me on my nape and kissed me passionately. "I love you" he said and run his fingers down to my chin and kissed me again. He started to undo my hair, I can see the happiness on his face, the excitement and love. He gently unzips my gown as he continues to kiss me...

That's how I portray how I'll be after the wedding. But, that did not happen since I was not married to the man in loved with me. After the wedding, we went to our new home: this was Jeanne's parent's presence. We stayed in different rooms; I undo my hair then go straight to the bathroom. I put a generous amount of body wash on the warm water in the bathtub.

I never thought this will happen. I've seen myself marrying a simple man, having a simple life; I've seen myself marrying a man with the same status as mine and have a life with some luxury; I've even seen myself getting old alone. It never came into my mind that I will marry a prince because of an ancient agreement. I killed that thought and continued finished my showering. I then laid into my bed and bring out my iPad to look for something to read. I have seen Tuesdays with Morrie. I know I have read this but I re-read it again, hoping to be sleepy but I've seen no success. What's my schedule tomorrow? I sighed. Nothing interesting.

I decided to go down and grab some milk, its two o'clock and yet I am still wide awake. On my way towards I don't know, I've looked at the rooms and the paintings around. Among the castles they own, this one is the biggest and yes, in a short period of time, it now belongs to us. Twenty bedrooms, ten of which is designed after European Culture, two rooms are designed after the Asian Culture, the other two are designed after African Culture, while the six other rooms are styled after the American and Australian Culture. Why? For the sake of the visitors we are expecting. This house will still be under renovation, if I want to.

As I opened the door to the kitchen room I saw Jeanne sitting on the chair behind the bar, at last, he can't frighten me this time.

"Hey" I said casually and he searched for me, he's wearing a white cotton shirt and pajama, he's drinking liquor. I look for a glass and get the milk from the refrigerator.

"Milk?" I offered as I pour the milk on my glass, we were standing in front of one another, the high table separating us.

He smiled shaking his head "No thanks."

"Can't sleep?" He asked.

"Yeah"

"How do you find the house?"

"It's great" I answered. "so much better than I expect" way more than I expect.

"Do you love your room? We can make changes if you don't want it" he offered. Changes! I know that will be worth so many Euros again. And yes. We don't stay in the same room.

"No need. It's really great" besides it's a really vast room but the design of the rooms are really alike, his room really looks like mine, I kind of looked at it, not that I'm stalking or something, he stays at the master's bedroom while I stay at one of the guest's room just right beside his. In front of us is the infant's room. Yes, we do have a room for the infant as early as now.

"Mom made sure to have rooms for our future kids, she made sure to be in-charge at this home like what she did when Greg get married" Speaking of the room!

"She's really doing everything for her kids, I salute her, she's a great mom"

"I know you'll be a great mom too" I stilled, not knowing how to respond.
