The Prancing Horse

III

"I don't have time for this," I muttered to myself as I walked to Ferrari hospitality. "Hey, Champ!" I called to Sebastian who was getting ready to leave. 

"I am nervous for tonight," he exclaimed and I cracked a smile. "Oh, it'll be fun! See you tonight." I said giving him a quick hug. 

I walked back to see Charles chatting with some fans. "Could you excuse us." I said softly as I wrapped Charles by the arm and walked to the back of the room in a corner. "What the fuck!" I hissed, "Why are you doing this? I never did anything to you. Whatever internal conflict you have going on inside you need to let it go, because this is honestly pathetic!" I yelled at him and he just shook his head.

 "I'm not the problem!" he shot back at me and brushed my shoulder, but it was stronger than intended and I stumbled back. 

Before I could say anything I heard a punching and a crack, then groaning. I saw Charles rolling on the floor, while Lando stood with a look of murderous rage on his face. 

"Lando are you, ok baby," I whispered grabbing his blood knuckles and kissed them. 

"As long as you are," he said proudly. 

"I have to check on him," I said referring to Charles who was now sitting on a chair with ice, while Mattia and Romeo were talking about what happened. "Charles?" I whispered and he flipped me off. 

"Fuck Off" he whispered.

 "Fine" I whispered back. Lando stood with his jaw clenched,  but I gave him a nod. "We all have to go get ready, so we'll talk tomorrow," I said in a commanding voice. Lando wrapped his arm around my waist and kissed my lips then smiled. "My Prince." I joked.

 "So...we have an hour or so before we have to get ready, what do you want to do?" I asked and Lando turned to me with a cheeky smile. "No," I said sternly.

"But baby...I haven't seen you in two months," he exclaimed flopping into the land rover. I followed him in the back and I let him lie down, his head resting on my stomach. I played with his hair while I felt his breathing get deeper and he let out a sigh of contentment. 

"I really want to kiss you," he said with a goofy grin on his face and I just laughed.

 "Well we are almost home, you can wait a few minutes then we can go get ready," I suggested and he groaned flopping back down. I smiled and leaned back against the seat just enjoying the last moment of calm for the day. 

"So you two are really in love," Romeo said with a grin on his face and Lando sat up.

"She has me wrapped around her finger," Lando said with a slight laugh. 

"Oh like I even ask you to do anything for me." I snapped lightly at him.

 We all joked around and soon we were pulling up to the back entrance of the palace. Lando picked me up bridal style and carried me to the elevator riding up to the 5th floor where my residence was located. Lando shut the door behind us, "I want my kiss!" he exclaimed and I kissed right next to his mouth. "Baby..." he groaned.

 "Lando we need to talk," I said softly.

 His face dropped, "You're breaking up with me! Oh my god, I can't even...Baby I love-" I cut off Lando from his frantic rant with a deep kiss on his lips. 

"Mon Amour, never," I said holding his face while caressing his cheek. 

Lando sat on my bed and pulled me into him tucking his head in my neck. "I was just going to say, the media is going to go crazy after tonight...I just want you to be ready for that. Also that you know what my father expects out of this relationship." I explained. 

"Media is ok, but what about your father." He asked nervously. 

"I am the heir to the throne, and at some point, the heir must be married and give another line of heirs to the throne. My father expects that we will be engaged in the future." I replied. 

"Well I promise when the time is right, that I will ask you to marry me," he said softly. 

"I just don't want to pressure you into anything, so consider this giving you a way out, "I added. 

"Can I think about it?" he asked me looking up and I nodded. Lando was silent for a few minutes, then, "Well, I guess given the circumstances....you are stuck with me for the rest of your life." he said smiling at the end. 

"Well as happy as that makes me, we need to get ready," I said looking at the clock. 

We got up and went into the bathroom, we took turns doing things so we could get everything done in time. After about two hours we were admiring ourselves in mirrors. Lando was in an Armani suit that was all black with a light pink bow tie, the Rolex I got him on his eighteenth birthday adorned his wrist. 

I was in a black layered tulle ball gown, with a light big pink bow on the side matching the bow tie. I had had on black diamonds and heels to finish the look and my hair in a high ponytail. 

"Your make up is on point!" Lando laughed and I joined it. 

I had some dramatic stuff going on, eyeliner wings fit for Cleopatra and lips the color of a Ferrari. "We clean up nice don't we!" I exclaimed proudly as we shone in the mirror and at that moment we were filled with love. "Now Mon Amour, I have to dance with other men, who will kiss my cheeks because it is custom, so don't go all jealous on me." I joked and he pouted. 

"I bet you $200 that I won't get jealous tonight." he shot at me and I smirked. 

"Deal," I said shaking his hand, but he held on leading me out of the residence to the grand staircase. At the bottom media and famous people were at the cocktail hour and walking the carpet. As soon as we got to the landing it got quiet and my father came out. He gave me a questioning look, and I turned to Lando and he nodded. "Presenting Princess Scarlett Rossi and Prince Lando Rossi Norris," he said and everything was set in stone as we took our first step as the future Monarchs of Monaco.
