She kept on searching through rack of clothes but non seems to catch her eye minutes after minutes she has been searching still there is nothing that suits the occasion. Princess Octavia rummages through all the dresses in the closet again and again stressing out about a lot of things the marriage, the date also the incident that had happened in her very own room running her fingers through her brown locks trying to erase all the thoughts out so she can focus on one thing and one thing only... the date.
The Princess groans out of frustration still haven't found something to wear "having a little trouble there?" Queen Catherine walks into the closet staring at her frustrated daughter "well a little advice try finding something red to suit your fierce personality" she walks out without a second glance leaving Princess Octavia by herself again.
"Red why red of all colors she chose red" Octavia murmurs to herself getting up searching through the rack again listening to her mother's advice she lays all the red dresses in the closet out picking the best one. Finally she picks a spaghetti strap matching it with red pumps and make up to go with the theme. Octavia then picks up a velvet red purse before heading downstairs to meet Prince Nicholas in the foyer "he better not bail on this date if not I will kill him with my bare hands" she looks at her reflection one last time.
Her hand glides over the gold railings making her look like an angel walking down the steps from heaven leaving the Prince breathless at the sight. He's wearing a navy blue tux with his hair slicked back and dress shoes to finish his look "wow you look absolutely stunning" he says out of breath.
"Why thank you, you don't look too bad yourself" Princess Octavia smiles bowing her head in respect. Prince Nicholas clears his throat straightening his posture extending his hand out for her to hold.
"Don't want to be late let's go" he returns back to his dull self, Princess Octavia takes his hand in hers nodding signalling to him that she's ready to go I can't believe my parents agreed to this date Princess Octavia thinks to herself but she pushes the thought away not wanting to ruin the day. They both slide into the limo no one saying a single word, from time to time Prince Nicholas would take glances her way with the Princess not noticing being to deep in thought "so I heard you wanted our horse" Prince Nicholas tries to start a conversation so the awkward atmosphere wouldn't tug at his collar strangling him slowly.
"Yes I did and I got him" she looks at his direction eyes locking with each others for a moment entrancing one another in their orbs "he's very unique if you must know" Princess Octavia is the one to break the entrancement looking away with a blush lingering on her cheeks trying to hide it behind her hair.
"How is horse that is useless and broken unique? that's such a wise choice for running activity" sarcasm dripping in his voice "horses are suppose to run you know that right" he speaks to her like she's two years old still learning about the world.
"Yes I do and just because a horse who can't run seems useless to everyone it's just like us humans some may look pathetic but that ain't true" Princess Octavia makes her point knowing that she's right he sighs in defeat.
"Why do have to be right?"Prince Nicholas sighs.
"Honey I'm always right" she smirks before staring out the window.
They finally arrive at their destination a fancy restaurant filled with people who seems to be wealthy when the Prince and Princess everyone looks their way gawking at the sight that Prince Nicholas and Princess Octavia is in there with them "your majesty's would you like our finest seats?" the person at the register asks.
"That would be fantastic" Nicholas voice deep causing the single woman'sin the restaurant to swoon "and make it a rooftop one" the person behind the counter nods and leads them away to the rooftop over looking the town "thank you" Prince Nicholas thanks the guy.
"We will get you the best waiter we can find" the guys says.
"Oh no need any waiter would be fine" Princess Octavia smiles causing the guy to nod his head heading downstairs to find a waiter suitable for the two royals.
Five minutes has pass and their bond seems to pull them closer just by the slightest bit "my name's Clara and I will be your waiter for this evening are you two ready to order?" Clara their waiter asks.
"Yes we are we'd both take steak and a glass of red wine thank you" Nicholas orders for the Princess making her heart beat quicken.
"Is that all for tonight?" Clara asks.
"And we'd like dessert too ask the chefs to surprise us" Nicholas says politely.
"Okay then your order should be ready in fifteen minutes" their waiter walks away with their order in the note pad she's holding.
"Red wine so fancy" Princess Octavia smirks causing him to smirk.
"Well I do love my red wine."
They talk for hours devouring their meal in a mannered way savoring their dessert which is tiramisu asking questions about the other as the sun starts to set "I mean Queen Catherine and King Jules would want me to get involve in almost everything back then and I would so that's how you got a wild Princess such as myself" Princess Octavia shrugs finishing the last bit of tiramisu "and well people will just she me as a rich brat girl trying too hard but in actual fact I just do what I want to do and just ignore what they have to about me" at the end of her story Prince Nicholas give her the look of sympathy but masks it as quick as it came. They stand up walking down the steps to the register but bumps into someone unexpectedly.
"Oh my goodness I didn't know you two would be here" Lana squeals pushing up her chest but nobody pays no attention "so you guys want to have dinner with me" she bats her lashes.
"Actually we were just about to head out so if you would excuse us" Nicholas holds onto Octavia's wrist pulling her away then paying for the food with cash sliding into the black limo as people point out to one another that the royal couple is here while others take secret pictures with their phones. They arrive back at the castle in the foyer.
"Thank you for dinner" Princess Octavia smiles then walks up to her chambers "oh" she turns around walking back down leaning in to kiss Prince Nicholas cheek "goodnight your highness" she waltz away into her chambers leaving Nicholas by himself. He touches his cheek smiling to himself.
"You really are something aren't you Octavia" he mumbles to himself shaking his head walking to his chambers to have a good nights rest.
