Why Me

Dinner with royalty

Kiara's POV

I pick up the fork and force myself to eat the salad.

It was mid-day.

James is sitting next to me and his parents sit in front of us. The King and Queen of this kingdom.

I'm wearing a black dress with no sleeves that tightens against my body. Especially my chest to keep the dress on.

" so" the Queen says " what's your name?".

" Kiara" I answer " Kiara Magna"

" Mother, she has no parents" James says as if I wasn't here " how will I marry her?"

My throaght tightens.

Marry? I can't marry HIM. I don't love him.although he is very good looking I think as I take a side glance at him

" well" the king says " she looks like a young adult. I am sure she can make her own decisions"

They look at me.

" yes" I say " indeed I can make my own choices"

That earned me smiles. We talked about parties coming up and kingdomly stuff I guess.

" there's going to be a party on Friday" James says. " a Halloween masquerade"

this Friday. It will be the day after Jack's trial. Today was Wensday. Tomorrow would be his trial.

James looks at me. I look back into those eyes I just seem to fall for every time.

" would you like to be my" he starts " my partner?"

The queen and king are really cool. James is cool too.

But I love Jack.

" yes" I say forcing a smile "I will love to go with you to the dance"

"Excellent!" He says grinning " You will not regret that"

Him grinning made me crack a smile.

He is ok. But since he was raised by royalty he sometimes acts like a spoiled brat.

Well I guess that's what he technically is.

I feel something warm on my knee.

I glance down to see James's hand there. I swore my face looked like a tomato.

" please excuse me" I say standing up

" but of course" the King said and they went back to talking. I rushed to the restroom locking the door behind me. The restroom smelt clean and fresh.

I splashed my face with waster.

Come on you can do this

Just another day till you see Jack

I smile at the thought of him.

Jack

I take a deep breath before I walk out. Come on Kiara lets do this..
