"Ollie! Ollie! Look!" Addie ran into the room and I smiled as I rushed to him.
"Yes Addie, what's going on?" I asked.
He panted and took in huge large breaths before passing me a book, "Look! It's my 11th birthday and I want you to promise me like this Jessica does to Jeremy in this book."
"What promise?" I asked and took the book from his hands.
Addie excitedly pointed to the line and exclaimed, "Read here!"
I smiled and read the page he had folded, "Jeremy went down on his knees and asked Jessica to stay with him forever, to love him forever. Jessica nods her head and kissed his hand, crossing her heart before smiling, 'I promise to forever and always love and cherish Jeremy.' Jeremy smiled and did the same before giving a kiss on Jessica's cheeks..." I trailed off and snapped the book shut.
"Yeah sure." I smiled at him and bit my lip lightly.
His face lit up and he hugged me, "So I'll see you at my party, later right?" I nodded and he grinned before giving me a kiss on my cheek. My cheeks felt hot.
"Wait, I thought you meant to..." I trailed off.
Addie's grin widened he nodded, "Ollie, I think what I'm feeling is love. I think I've fell in love with you. I wish to stay with you until our hair turn grey and I want to always still fall in love with you forever, even after you passed on or I pass on. I can only wish you feel the same. Will you make me the happiest 11years old boy in this world by promising to love, cherish and never leave me?"
The smile on my cheeks seemed to stretch out longer and I kissed on his cheeks, "I promise."
We both smiled before he grabbed my hand and led me down the stairs towards his party...
"We've got orders. The Prince's birthday is coming soon, the head of agency ordered to create a party as bait." Will said while plopping a grape in his mouth, trudging into Grace's room.
"What? It's his birthday soon? Him as bait?" Grace exclaimed.
I rolled my eyes and nodded, "Yeah, anyways... We've got to plan to ensure that the damage will be as minimal as possible and that he won't capture at all. Besides, the little minions said that the Prince isn't the ultimate target, so even if he is captured, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't harm him. Unless the 'target' they want doesn't show up."
Will sat up straighter on his chair and furrowed his eyebrows, "Then who do you think the 'target' is? What makes you so sure that the 'target' will show up?"
I grabbed my I-Pad off the table and sat on Grace's bed, "What's up with you guys and your questions today... Well, it's a gut feeling and with not much solid evidence, I don't want to be spouting nonsense, so I won't disclose it just in case it's wrong. But I'm sure the 'target' will show up, it's just the matter of when and if he is patient enough to wait for the arrival."
"Hmm... So, what's the plan for the birthday party? Are we going to plan it for him?" Grace asked.
"No, it's Edward's birthday. We let him plan it himself. Then we plan how to protect him." I explained while typing a reply back to the agency.
A knock sounded and the door opened, "I was wondering if any of you wanted some cookies... I just baked some myself for the orphanage and there are some leftovers."
Grace immediately sprung out of bed and patted down her gown, "Sure, thanks Eddie."
"Thanks Eddie." Will imitated in a high-pitched voice, trying to get under Grace's skin.
I rolled my eyes at their usual antics. Siblings. Grace glared at him. Edward came into the room and placed the tray filled with chocolate cookies and tea onto the table.
"I've brought tea too, just in case you get thirsty too." Edward added. Grace smiled and thanked him again. However, the cookies remained untouched.
Unable to pass on the fragrance of the cookies, I stood up from Grace's bed and grabbed a cookie on the table, "Thanks for the cookie, I'll pass on the tea. I'm going to go and do some spot checks. Have fun."
Edward shoot a grateful glance at me and I asked, "Are you planning a birthday party this year?"
He nodded his head and grimaced, "Yeah, I don't like them but according to my father I have to hold it every year. But I'm planning to persuade my father not too hold one this year as with the attacks..."
"Don't worry about them, you have us. Just share the plans with Grace and Will. I'd prefer if it's a masquerade, easier for us to catch the culprit. Well then, see you later." I walked out of the room and closed the door behind me.
"Hi." I looked up and saw Adrian dressed in a chef's attire with flour caked on his hands.
"Hi, I'm assuming you are looking for the bathroom?" I replied.
He cleared his throat, "No, Ed told me to go to Grace's bedroom once I've cleaned up the kitchen. Is there a gathering going on in there?"
"Yeah, Eddie should be going through his party plans with Grace and Will in there. You should probably wash up your hands before entering. I doubt Grace would appreciate flour stains in her room." I explained as I bit into my cookie.
"Oh, I see... How do you like the cookie?" Adrian asked.
I nodded my head in response, "It's delicious."
The door opened and Will's face darkened when he saw Adrian. Edward came out of the room and grabbed the two guys into the room by their arms, "Olivia, please come in as well. Let's all discuss my party together, shall we?"
"Are you asking as a Prince?" I asked.
Edward narrowed his eyes, "If it gets you to stay, then yes." I rolled my eyes, sent a text to the security to do the spot checks instead before entering the room again and shut the door behind me.
