Once Upon A Royal Love

Chapter 61

Kieth Powers & Alexandra Leighton

Alexandra's POV

Countdown marks 3 days till William's 19th Birthday. You wouldn't believe how Victoria was freaking out.

Deciding on what to get him.
Planning a surprise party.
As if my birthday idea for him wasn't good enough.

I mean come on. It's Italy for god sakes.
Who in there right mind wouldn't want to go to Italy.

"so you coming to school tomorrow?", Sophie asked over the phone.

To think about it, I haven't been to school since Anne came back. Speaking of Anne, what was I supposed to do with Mr. Henry & Matt. And the exposure of Victoria Henry herself.

"Uh— I don't know", I say with all honesty.
"Come on. The girls and I miss you. It hasn't been the same without you here. It's like you barely have time for us anymore.", she said practically begging.

"I know and I miss you all too but there's just a lot going on right now", I say being sidetracked looking out the window to see Chuck and Luke playing tennis.

"You okay? You sound a bit off? I bet it's that royalty getting to ya.", the voice of Kat shout into the phone pulling me out my thoughts.

"Hello to you to, Kat. And yes, I'm fine. It's just— so much going on, and I can't— really talk about it. But to answer your question, I'll think about it.", I say.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, "I'll talk you later, maybe even stop by. Gotta go", I say quickly before telling who ever was knocking on the door to come in.

The door opened, and there stood Ally.
"Morning, Ms.Leighton.", She said greeting me.
I slightly smiled.

"Alex, just... Alex. And good morning, Ally", I say standing up from the desk.

"There's seems to be someone at the door for you", she says.

"Thank you", I say being polite.
"Would you like for me bring your breakfast up here or would you rather prefer eating in the dining area?", she asked so properly.

"Down there's fine", I say following her out of my room.

"Ally?", I asked.
"Yes, ma'am?", she asked.

"Does Victoria have a busy schedule today?", I asked trying to get the information on when she won't be in her office so I can sneak in there.

"I believe so", she says before walking down stairs, as I followed her.

I turned to notice William in the kitchen, eating and on his phone.

"Good Morning, William", Ally says.
"Morning", he says to her and then glanced to me.

I turned the other way before we could make any conversation. As I walked towards the open door, to see a familiar face standing there.

My heart dropped.
How the hell.

"Are you just gonna stand there and stare or hug me?", his now deep voice asked surprising the hell out of me.
