A ROYAL TALE| HANNIE

❤️Chapter 3.❤️

Annie POV

The next morning, I woke up at 4:30 am and did my usual routine. I got out of the shower, and dried myself then put on my silk robe and underwear and bra. I went out and sat on my vanity and Sarah and Kylie did my usual routine. They finished, and a maid gave me my already pressed gown for today.

They left, and I put on the gown. The gown was a red long sleeved gown, and had lace at the end of the gown, and end of the sleeves. The lace was a light beige color, and ended at my knees in the front, and ended at my ankles I put on classic red heels and my hoop earrings. I grabbed a red Michel Kors purse, and left my room. My hair was in thick curls, sitting on my shoulders. My makeup was natural, and my lips were a bright red. I went straight to my ladies' rooms, and once I picked them up from their rooms, we headed down to the court sitting room for some tea.

Kenzie wore an elegant blue dress that hugged her curves, and was long sleeved but off her shoulder. She had a denim jacket over her shoulders, and had the same color heels. Her hair was straight down, and was resting on her shoulders.

Lauren wore a yellow bright dress, and it hugged her top, but was flowy on the bottom. It was sleeveless and ended at her knees. She had a white blazer on, and white wedges. Her hair had a braid on the side of her head, and the rest was straight.

Jayden wore a high waisted ivory flowy skirt, and a silk ivory long sleeved-off the shoulder shirt tucked under her skirt. Her skirt was flowy, and had many thin layers of soft twool. Her shoes were the same ivory color strapped heels, and her hair was in a fishtail braid on her right shoulder.

We walked to the sitting area for tea, and all sat down as the butlers gave us our tea. "So, what's up for today?" Jayden asked as she drank a sip of her lavender tea. It was our favorites.

"Well, fittings for dresses, and later we'll go and visit some schools and the local hospital." I explained, then added a sugar cube in my tea.

"Yay! Fittings!" Lauren said as she clapped her hands in excitement, then drank a sip of her tea.

"Of course you're excited for a fitting." Kenzie rolled her eyes, then we all laughed and drank tea. We finished, and then waited for our breakfast.

"So, what color should your dresses be?" I asked them.

"I don't know? But what for?" Jayden asked.

"Her birthday of course!" Kenzie said, and we all giggled, and our food arrived. We ate, and I actually ate all. I only eat all of my meal in front of my ladies and family.

We finished, and went back to our rooms and brushed our teeth. I texted them saying to meet me in my office and they all said yes.

As I walked to my office, I could sense someone was behind me. I turned around, and saw Hayden. "Hey," I said, but was interrupted when he pulled me back into my room. He closed the door behind him. "What are you do-" I was interrupted again when Hayden pressed his lips on mine.

I kissed back, and our lips moved in sync. He licked my bottom lip asking for permission to enter, and I gladly gave it to him. As our tongues danced together, I had my arms wrapped around his neck and he had his arms around my waist.

Before anything got too heated, I pulled away, and checked the time. we've been kissing for 15 minutes. "Shit!" I mumbled under my breath. "Sorry, but I have to go. My ladies are waiting. Um, go through my secret door, and make a left. There, you should find a door, and go through it. Then, you'll be in the secret hall. You'll find your room from there." I explained, and got out of his grip.

"Well, thank you." he whispered in my ear, making shivers o through my spine. I smiled at him, and gave him a quick peck on the lips, then led him to the secret tunnels. He gave me a quick before disappearing through the secret door. I closed it, then fixed my hair.
