Chapter 10: Dinner Dash

Chapter 10: Dinner Dash

After I took a short nap I woke up to get ready for the dinner with Sky, His parents, my parents, Daphne, Thoren, and the other guests which she hasn't mentioned yet. I put on my dark blue formal Domino dress on that had a thin belt of the same color with a little bow on the side of my waist. I put on my crown, my dark blue heels, and light make up. I took my small purse and went downstairs. As I went downstairs I could hear my parents talking about my wedding which made me even more nervous of going to dinner since the whole dinner would be about my wedding I guess. 

"Hey Bloom you ready?" Daphne asked. "Yeah, I am ready. Lets go!" I said a little too loud. "Are you nervous?" She asked. "Nope not at all, just... can't wait to see Sky!" I said- I came up with the least suspicious excuse for not being nervous, which would make me sound un polite anyway. "Okay then missy, mother and father are already in the ship. Lets go." Daphne said as she took my hand and both of us left outside into the ship. 

After 10 minutes we arrived at the beautiful Eraklyon. Through the window I see Sky waving at me and Thoren waving at Daphne which made her blush. As I got off the ship I ran into Sky and hugged him tight. "I missed you." I told him quietly. "I missed you too." Sky said as he pulled me into a kiss. "C'mon lovebirds lets go!" Thoren said. "Hey Thoren!" I said as if he didn't just say that before. 

We walked into the palace hand in hand. Inside the palace I saw Samara next to Erendor- My future In-laws, Diaspro, her mother and father. "What are they doing here?" I quietly asked Sky but not showing any hint of anger in my voice. "They are the guests my mother was talking about."Sky answered quietly. "Oh, okay." I said since it honestly didn't bother me at all. 

"Hello Miriam, Oritel, Daphne, and dear Bloom. Welcome and thank you for coming to join us for dinner." Samara politely said. "Oh there is no need for such formalities, we are indeed family, and soon we will be seeing more of each other won't we?" My mother answered as she then turned and looked at me and Sky which made me blush a tiny bit but luckily no one noticed it except Sky that smiled at me. 

"We have invited some guests tonight with us." Erendor started. "This is the king of Isis, Jack, this is the queen of Isis, Isabella, and their daughter, Diaspro." He finished. "They will be joining us for dinner." Samara added. "Nice to meet you" My father said as he walked over to them to shake their hands. After they introduced each other and talked for a minute or two, we all sat down to start eating the appetizers. 

"So I heard princess Bloom is the lucky one to marry this handsome king huh?" Jack said with his mouth full, then Diaspro whispered something into his ear that made his eyes go wide and then stare at me with anger which Sky noticed because he looked at him and then at me. Jack didn't stop staring at me with anger in his eyes which made me wonder what Diaspro told him. I carefully lowered my fork onto my plate and then turned my attention back to Jack. "King Jack, is there something wrong?" I politely asked not wanting this to ruin my night. "No. There is nothing wrong whatsoever. Unless you have something to say." Jack said stiffly which made me tense up. "Uhm, no I don't have anything to say except whether I should choose aqua or light purple for the wedding colors." I said trying to change the subject. I tried smiling but I failed tremendously. 

After a long conversation about my wedding and everything to do with dresses and shoes of any kind which made all of the guys on the table pretty bored which was pretty funny. Dessert came ready and they served it for us all, what really made me happy is they remembered that I am allergic to peanuts so they didn't add them in mine because there is a tradition in Eraklyon about having a light peanut melted sauce with vanilla flavored pedals on it which gave the cake a delicious taste. 

We all started eating until Diaspro started talking. "This cake is so delicious, it would be very rude of me to ask but would it be alright if I borrowed this recipe?" Diaspro said with her fake I-am-way-better-than-you voice. "It would be my pleasure to pass on this recipe." Samara answered smiling. I got a bit jealous at that moment and I don't know why but suddenly I started talking without even realizing what I said. "If I may I'd like to taste this delicious Eraklyon tradition cake, since I'll be joining the family soon anyways." I said as I then regretted what I said so much! "Are you sure you like to try it? Aren't you allergic?" Daphne asked starting to wonder why I even asked. I can't just deny what I said so I would have to stick with it so I quickly rubbed my neck and created a spell to make sure I don't get an allergic reaction because if I do it wouldn't end up pretty. They then served the small plate of the wonderful cake with the peanut stuff on it. I ate it and luckily nothing happened, but it indeed is delicious. "oh my gosh, This is the best cake I have ever eaten!" I exclaimed after taking a big bite of it. "Well, I am glad you like it!" Samara said proudly. 

With all the delicious food I ate and drank I did need a bathroom break. "Will you excuse me, I need to use the restroom." I said as I stood up and walked out of the room into the hall. Who am I kidding I needed to take a break from all the royalty and formalities, so I ended up standing behind the door and listening. "What a rude thing! Just excusing herself from a royal table and then even saying that she is using the restroom!" King Jack practically shouted. "My husband is right! That fake for a princess is just stealing whatever fits good to her and her greedy family!" "Yes! Bloom isn't the only one who takes whoever and whatever she wants. Look at Daphne for an example, she is dating Thoren! Sky's cousin!" Diaspro yelled. 

"How dare you speak about this significant family in such manner!" Exclaimed Erendor. "I have not heard such disrespect come from high court royals without precedent. You are not welcomed to Domino, royal family of Isis-" My father began raising his voice. 

I already decided to go in but the moment was just not so good but I sucked in my tears anyway and closed the door loud enough to let them know that I came back. 

"I am sorry for such rudeness." I said while staring at Jack. "But I believe it is getting late and My family and I should be heading home already, we have responsibilities to handle in the morning. Goodnight." I walked towards Sky to softly kiss him and then take my family out. 

I opened to grand doors with my hands -magic- as I stomped out the castle in such anger I didn't even know how I even controlled myself in there! "Mother, Father, sister, lets go. Get in the ship. No, you know what let me just transport you its faster." I said with my teeth clenched together. I created a portal where I pushed my family in and closed it, staying behind in the beautiful gardens of Eraklyon. 

I walked towards the fountain where Sky proposed which gave me beautiful memories so I sat there. I didn't do much, just sit there and admire my ring until I noticed a figure walking towards me. "Bloom, I knew you'd be here." Sky said in his soothing voice which just makes me hug him and never let go again. "Look, I am sorry for over reacting like that and ruining what should of been a great dinner, and I know th-" I said until he pulled me into a passionate kiss. 

"You don't need to apologize, I should of known not to invite Diaspro and her family."  Sky answered. "If I am to be queen, I should know how to react to things like this instead of just walking away like I do when it gets too hard or hard controlling." I said looking back to my ring. 

"Bloom, you don't have to be like that when you are queen, you have to be who you are- to be yourself and then everything will solve itself. And if not then you'll just come to me and we'll  kick some butt together." He said grinning. "Deal!" I smiled leaning closer and kissing him softly before standing up and going to bed- in his room- But nothing inappropriate...
