Once Upon A Royal Love

Chapter 54

Alexandra"s POV

I sighed after placing my suitcase on my new bed. It wasn't new. But it was new to me.

As you could have figured, I moved into the Henry's. Victoria thought it'd be better and safer if I was living with the father of my child.

Since being the fact I was kidnapped and missing for almost 3 days. And I won't tell anyone where I was.

Let's talk about that real quick.
If I did decide to help Mike and Matt, what would that mean for William.

I mean finding out someone you thought was dead, isn't actually dead is kind of hard.

Even if I wanted to help, I wouldn't even know where to start? Like Victoria would ever confess something so important that could destroy her and this perfect family image.

I mean— I was brought out my thoughts when there was a knock on my open door.

I turned to see Luke.
"hey, neighbor", he said.

Neighbor isn't the word i would exactly use, I mean my door was like 3 doors away from his. It was actually closer to Williams, then it was to his.

"hey", I say.
"Can I— come in?", he asked.
"Your house- do what you want", I say taking out folding clothes from the suitcase.

"so- how do you like it? I mean your room?", he asked.
"It has a bed. A nice view and all but I like my room back at the dorm. With my friends.", I say.

"Oh", he said.

It was awkward.
I was only acting like this to fight of the expression that him and I could ever be a thing.

I'm still trying to work things out with William.
I can't start something with Luke. Even though that's kind of late because we kissed.

But a kiss doesn't mean anything.
Right.

"So- I wanted to talk to you about the night of the Met Gala. When we kissed.", he said.

Never mind what I said before then.

"What about it?", I asked walking to the empty dresser, placing my clothes inside of it.

"I mean— maybe it's just me but I felt something— i really liked it. I really like you", he said.

I sigh before turning around.
"Luke, don't", I say.
"What?", he asked frowning.

"If I ever give you the impression of us being a thing, I apologize. But— I can't.. not right now— Will and I are trying to make things work- I wanna make things work", I try to explain.

"What are you saying?", he asked not understanding.

"I'm saying that I love him, Luke. I love him with every bit of my heart. And it sucks because even when I try not to, I love him even more. And there's no anyone in the world that can change that, not even his cute older step-brother", I say.

"Oh", was all he said but at the same time looking down.

"I'm sorry", I say.
"I get it. He was here first", he said.

"It's not that— it's just- I already have a thing with William and the last thing I'd ever want to do is hurt him", I said.

"That's cool", he said.
"I hope you can understand", I say.
"I do", he said.

I slightly smiled, before placing the rest of my clothes in the drawer.
"I'm gonna go", he said before walking out my room quickly.

He was obviously upset, but I couldn't care about his feelings right now.

I had to much to think about.

-

I sat at the dining room table around William and his family, playing with my food, not listening to their faded voices.

I stared out the window, I couldn't think- or focused.

"What's wrong?", the voice of William said bringing me out my thoughts.

"Um?", I asked him.
"You haven't touched your food. Do you not like it?", He asked.

"I'm just not hungry", I say.
Which was partly true- I couldn't swallow the food if I wanted to, I mean I want to eat but I know it will be in the toilet tomorrow morning.

"Nonsense, eat your food", Victoria said.
"Do not try to manage me", I tell her with all seriousness in my voice.

"I wasn't- I was just trying to help", she said.
"Well, I don't need your help", I say bluntly.

Jesus, the hell was wrong with me.
I mean I know I can be bitchy but I was never like this.

Looking around the table to realize they all were staring at me weirdly.

"Sorry- it's probably my hormones", I say covering for my bitchiness.

"I think I know what we need to end this tension between all of us", Chuck finally spoke out.

"What is it now, father?", Luke asked.
"A family vacation— let's get away for the weekend- i say we should go to my vacation home in Windsor", Chuck say.

"Here we go again", Luke say before rolling his eyes.

"Just us. Going out and having a good ole time. What do you say?", Chuck asked.

I looked at William, who was already looking at me.

"I think that is a good idea sweet heart", Victoria said.

"So it's settled- we leave first thing tomorrow morning", Chuck said.

A short vacation suck with the one I love, and the one I want, what could ever go wrong?

I know.
