The Duchess [3]

28

Serayah

The pearl necklace sits on top of my collarbone and the small tiara that was lent to me by neymar from the queens collection sits at the top of my head.The tiara matches my red gown.Make up covered my weak and pale complexion.I look genuinely healthy.

"Is she ready?"I heard neymar ask one of my dresser for the fifth time tonight from the waiting room."I'm here-I'm here"I walk out of the room and his smile only brightens."Beautiful" He took steps to be close to me and gave me a kiss on my temple.He offered my hand and dismiss the people in the room well except the photographer.Apparently it's essential to take photos now for neymar due to the fact that our social media has now been launched and the well the pr section of the castle for the royal family sees this as very essential."I have a surprise for you tonight."He whispers at my ear as we were posing for photos-I am one to love surprises and grins to him before kissing his cheek already feeling thankful for whatever the surprise may be.

When we arrive to the state dinner there were whispers and already I could tell that people have knew that neymar and I was finally an item again.I think the funny thing is we were both adults who have this addiction to a chase he does something that hurts me and vice versa but when people say that you only learn to value things when something bad happens that is absolutely right.I realize that time is short and there is absolutely no more time to waste anymore when the feelings of love have overtaken everything.

Neymar and I arrived with the duke and duchess and since I am not queen I assisted the ambassador's wife instead of well the duchess as that was rafaella's role.Neymar was upset but he knew that we couldn't bend too much rule-this afternoon was enough breaking of protocol.The night was long with speeches from Neymar and the Duke acknowledging the friendship that Britain has with the Kingdom of Trau.When the state dinner ended neymar and I assisted the duke and duchess to the ballroom in where a ball would be held for the wonderful visit of the Britain Royals.Meghan and Rafa basically stick to my side as we made rounds acknowledging the lady royals of the trau family.Thanking mysef that I still remembered their names.After we stood on the sides and watch the performances held by trau's finest  talents while others either make a fool of themselves in the dance floor or actually genuinely beautifully dance.

Harry approached rafa for a dance in which she accepted while neymar on the other hand only gracefully ask for meghan's hand to dance.Not before sending me a wink.I danced with scott while Davi well-lets just say he was tired and decided to head to his chambers.

When the music finished we all got back to our positions and watch people dance and meghan somehow had not lifted a finger on those boozing champagne I had a thought that she is pregnant but I had not dare said anything afraid that I'll be wrong.

So we talked about mostly anything and everything.She listened when I talk of the wonderful beaches we have in trau and our natural reserves and of the late king and queen of trau.In her I found a great friend.While she talked of her past life and of the sneaky moments she shared with harry in which I correlate to neymar and mine.Our story and hers were well quite similar.The commoner who married the prince.

We related in a way and soon we exchange numbers between one another.In her I found a great friend.

When the familiar tune of elvis cant help falling inlove plays.Harry asked meghan's hand for a dance and I could tell they really are inlove and built for one another as the spark in meghan's eyes could be seen as she looks at harry who swayed her softly.Scott ask for Rafa's hand and soon neymar then appears infront of me.

"Can I have this dance baby?"And I blusehd but answered by taking his hand.

We swayed and as with every sway couples and partners joined in the dance.

"So take my hand take my whole life too,For I cant help falling inlove with you."He sang softly on my ear as I grin on his shoulder.When the music ends he gave me a kiss on the temple and I savored the moment."I love you."He confesses and his response was a soft kiss on the lips."And I love you more than you can imagine." As the night passed it was just ask our hands intertwined even when we send the british royals back to their cars ending the ball.

As I walked out of the bathroom I realize that neymar was not in sight.Pulling my robe closer to provide myself some warmth I then realize that the doors to the balcony of the room is opened and neymar stood there with his own robe as he overlooked the city of trau.I wrap my hands around his waist as at first he tense but when he realized it was me he relaxes onto me.

"Serayah"As he turns and I look at him questioning.He places a hand on my cheek and I relax on to his hand and he kneels to the ground.

"I kneel upon you like how I promise to keep this country safe and guard this country with my life.I kneel upon you like how I accepted the crown to accept my responsibilities as king.But no crown is as extravagant and as beautiful as you."He then took a box from his pocket.

"I kneel upon you to accept me as your husband,as your partner because there is no one in this whole entire universe that could be trau's queen but you.Nobody but you would be my partner in crime and nobody but you could be my wife.So Serayah Reima Witherspon would you give me the greatest honor of being the queen to my country and of my heart and be my wife?"He questions and it was that simple three letter word of 'yes' did he slipped the diamond heavyweight engagement ring on my ring finger.

We kissed for what seemed like eternity.And suddenly I have a reason to fight again.Maybe it's because I would love to be there with Neymar until the end of his reign.I want to give him more heirs.Or maybe simply I just want to create as more memories with Neymar as I can give.

"This time no television broadcasting the movie,No thousands of guests,No foreign dignitaries,No millions of dollars spent."I warned neymar and he chuckled.

"I hated that too-But yes this time non of that."He said and kissed me again.

"Do we announce it to the world?"I asked and he nodded."I was thinking probably three days after rafa's wedding."He said and I nodded seemingly liking the idea.Rafa's wedding is in a week time and it would be nice to not overshadow the wedding of rafa with our announcement.

We are lying in bed with his arms wrapped around me.Just planning of the small intimate wedding we have in mind,one that is just going to celebrate the love we have for one another.
