Amara's POV
I gulp for some reason and take a slow step forward. I've never done anything wrong in my life, unless you count the time I kicked Johnny Simons in the shin for stealing my Popsicle in the second grade. But the way this woman was looking at me, you'd think I had done something horrible.
"Step up onto the stage. I need to get your measurements." She says in her peculiar accent. So as to not anger her, I step up and stand still, only moving when she tells me. After hat feels like hours but was probably only about ten minutes, I step down.
"Name?" The woman says with little emotion. I swear she was the emotion range of a wet mop. I look up at her before replying, "Amara." Startled, the woman looks at me, her eyes wide.
"D-did I hear you correctly? Did you say Amara? As in King Remington's soul- uh girlfriend?"
"Uh yes. Is there a problem?"
"It's nothing. I just did not realize I had the pleasure of making His Majesty's beloved's gown. I will go over the making of it myself. It will be the most exquisite gown you've ever seen. You have my word." And then before she exits the lounge, she bows. To say I am confused is an understatement. Why would she bow to me? I am literally no one.
I turn to the group before asking, "What was that all about?"
"What do you mean?" Noah replied.
"Oh I don't know, how about the fact that when I told her my name, she looked shocked and became very formal. Or that fact that she bowed to me!" I exclaim.
"Well you are dating one of our kings, so that's probably why." Haley suggested. It does make a little bit of sense, but I am not 100% convinced. We all gather our things and walk out of the room. Before we all leave, I ask the group, "Hey do you guys want to stop by my job? I can make some coffee or tea and some snacks."
"Sure! But be careful, I heard coffee can be dangerous!" Karina laughed.
"Oh my god I can't deal with you! I thought coffee was safe. As opposed to something like a car." I reply while trying to hold in my laughter.
The seven of us leave The Underground and head to our respective cars. I give them all directions to my store and then leave. We make it to the store about half an hour later. It feels like I was just here, oh wait I was. We all walk in and I wave to one of my coworkers, Brendon. I walk behind the cafe counter and proceed to make everyone's drinks.
"So how has it been with the Palaye boys being your kings?"
"Honestly it has been amazing! From what I know, they didn't originally want to be crowned, but the previous ruler loved them." Alex answered.
"Oh wow. And do you guys know anything mor about the day they were turned? Or like anything about the girl he was with?" I inquired.
"Unfortunately not. They were very reluctant to give us any information." Cari said.
"Oh ok. So not even her name?"
"No. The only thing that we know is that Remington called her his beloved. And that he planned on marrying her." Karina replied. Wait what? That's what he calls me. That's very interesting. I finish making everything for everyone and put it on a tray. I grab it and tell everyone to follow me to one of the nooks. We sit down and take our respective items.
"So have you guys been with the boys at The Underground for long?" I ask the rest of the group.
"Well you know how long I've been with them." Karina says.
"I've been with them for about 50 years." Alex says. Noah says he's been in The Underground since the '80s, while Haley about the mid '90s. And Cari had joined them during the 1940s.
"Emily what about you?" I ask.
"Uh...."
