What If?

Chapter 32

Thanks for all comments, votes and reads, their much appreciated. I know you've gotten used to a Friday update by now but my laptop gave out last weekend and I had to get a new one which arrived today. And my phone isn't really something I like to post from. So I hope you like this chapter.

Walking out of Kate and William's room, she headed for her own that she shared with Alex, William was currently waiting there as the girls got ready together. She loved what Amanda had done with her hair again, she'd put it in an elegant hair do and she was quite happy with that. The children had already been put to bed since they bridesmaids and pageboys needed to be fully rested and not be cranky throughout the day tomorrow.

"Finally." William grinned, seeing Amelia walk into the room, still dressed in her jeans and blouse as he got up to join his wife in their room.

"almost ready love?" Alex asked her as he watched her take her dress from the bed, ready to change as she started to undress and pull her blue dress on. He watched as she tried to do it with the greatest care for her hair that just been finished by Amanda. He couldn't look away though, to him she was the most beautiful woman and he really hoped she would become his wife and soon.

When she was finally finished with pulling her dress over her head, she turned her back to him, before asking if he would zip her dress up. Getting up, he whispered: "You look absolutely stunning love."

"It's just a dress Alex." She told him with a small shrug of her shoulders as he noticed the nervous tremble of her hand as she ran her hands down her dress when he was finished with pulling her zipper up.

"Still, you'll be the most stunning woman in the room." He stated, wrapping his arms around her middle as she leant back against him.

"I don't know Alex, all of a sudden I feel worried I should have gotten a more expensive one, everyone is going to see this is just a cheap dress." She worried, turning around in his arms and looking up at him in a nervous manner.

She couldn't help but start to doubt herself and about the dress for the following day as well. She'd declined the offer from Alex to buy her a dress, she already felt like she was living out of his pockets most of the time since he always paid for her plane and train ticket to come her to London. She didn't have a lot of money, but she made do, but ever since dating Alex, she couldn't help but worry a little. She couldn't compete with the world she lived in when it came to money. Her family just got by on a decent month. And here she as just in the world of royalty, aristocracy and glam.

"Love no one is going to notice, you look stunning." He whispered to her, all he saw was that she looked stunning and now he knew without a doubt that she was great at putting her outfits together. So far at any event that required her to put together an outfit, which had been a wedding and a Christening so far and she'd done so brilliantly.

And she looked even more beautiful than if anyone had put her into something she may not have liked or may not have been comfortable in. She was dressed up, but he still recognized the woman as his girlfriend. And he didn't care that the dress had only cost 70 pounds, to him she was the most stunning woman in the world. That dress being so cheap was probably why he loved her so much and why she looked so beautiful.

"You look beautiful and don't you ever doubt yourself about it." He told her, taking her arms in his palms, before rubbing them up and down.

"Still, it feels wrong, I'm in this castle where years and years of history have accumulated. All royalty over the last thousand years in the most stunning and expensive clothing. And here I am, the granddaughter of a farmer who barely gets by in a 50-pound dress. I don't fit into all of this Alex." She explained to him, her worries running away with her again and she couldn't help herself.
