The Modern Princess

CHAPTER 14

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

"Jeanne" I smiled at him.

"Prince Jeanne" and he didn't respond to his greeting and went straight to me, he grabbed my waist and descended his lips to mine, weakening my knees. His kiss was possessive, like he's telling the whole world where I belong to, not that I'm complaining about it. Well...err...He's a good kisser.

I saw him looking at Lawrence, no I think he's glaring but I'm not so sure since I haven't recovered yet and somehow I felt the electricity between them, like a current that will explode anytime. He hugged me and secured me with his body and kissed my temple. "What are you doing here?" I asked.

"I thought you have no one to play with"

"Well, yeah, not until Ava told me that Lawrence can play, actually he's really great at it" I said excitedly.

"Yeah, I'm planning to play with you my wife" Is it just me or does it really sound possessive?

"Well sure, let's play" I said and I get out of his touch, but before I can pulled me again and kissed me on my lips.

When he finished kissing me I heard a voice from the side "I will get your racket Prince Jeanne" Lawrence said. Uh-oh. I didn't know we had an audience. Idiot Katherine!

Jeanne asked for the limousine to get us after we played. He did win in the game though half of the time he was frowning. Maybe he got business problems? That we do not really talk about. We had two games and I lose in both of them he's great at it, even better than Lawrence I think and his stamina's full. I think mine was just half as his.

Both of us ride in while Lawrence and Ava got in the convoy. Once I hopped in the limo I started to feel great. It wasn't everyday that I get kissed. Fine. I do not want to deny it anymore. I like him and his kisses are my cravings.

"You know what? Lawrence draws really great and I think he would be a great architect" I started a conversation. Maybe Jeanne can give him a scholarship? He'll be able to help Lexumbia!

"And did you know that his father is John and the brother of his grandfather worked with your family. That's so cool." I added but he didn't answer, instead he clenched his fist and looked away from me and curled up his lip not intending to really speak.

My body faced him "Do we have a problem?" I asked.

"I'll fire Lawrence first thing in the morning" he said. What the...

"Jeanne, what is your problem?" I asked nicely. Is this about him calling me by my name? Shit. I'm dead. He can't be fired!

"He called you by your name, he should know that it is against the rules, that is disrespect" he sounds calm but shit I'm really dead.

"But I asked him to" I reasoned.

"And he shall know how to turn that down" he raised his voice. This is no good. I sighed "Jeanne, it's me who asked that" I said softly. Please do not fire him.

"Kathy you're a duchess there must be a barrier between you and them."

"Jeanne I know that but you're being unfair, for such simple reason you are going to fire him?"

"That is not a simple reason; he shall know how to respect you"

"He does respect me. As I said, I asked him to, if you are mad at him, you have to be madder at me. This is my idea." Please don't fire him Jeanne.

"I will not simply forgo this instance; he should set as an example." He said firmly and now it's irritating me. I tried to breathe deeply thrice trying to cease my anger, but I didn't win. "You know what, you are trying to manipulate these people around you. At this instance you are just a taking advantage of your position."
