"Why do I have to do this"
"Because Ali the Prince is interested in you, do you know how many girls wish to be the next Kate Middleton?" Maude questioned while fixing her sisters hair.
"Uh I don't care, I don't find her interesting I mean who wants to wait fifty years before they get married, no offence to her of course" Alessandra replied with a 'duh' tone "And anyway he didn't personally ask me to go out with him"
"He asked me to ask you"
"Maude, you didn't ask, you barged into my room and told me I had to get ready for a date I knew nothing about" Alessandra stressed out the idea that she knew nothing about the date.
Samantha sighed as she turned Alessandra to face her "Ali dear be thankful, I mean if we looked alike I would trade places with you with the snap of my fingers, but we don't look alike so go out there and enjoy this for me and every other girl out there who wished they could date a Prince"
Alessandra gave her friend a blank look "Uh"
Samantha laughed at her friends reply "Just go enjoy yourself"
"Alessandra Bradford" Alessandra said to the woman at the front door who looked up at the girl surprised "Uhm...right this way ma'am"
She led Alessandra to the private room as James didn't want people to talk? But of course, those who saw him enter earlier would most likely talk.
"A waiter will be with you two shortly," the lady said to the two as James helped Alessandra sit down.
"You have a lot of nerve you know that" Alessandra stated once the lady left "You couldn't probably ask me on a date but you could ask my sister to get me ready for a date"
"Actually Maude told me that you'd like to see me again," James said as Alessandra blushed at the new information "but I know now she was lying"
Alessandra sensed a little bit of disappointment in his voice "No I did, I just would have liked to have been properly asked out"
"Well I'll remember to do so next time"
"Next time? You're so sure of yourself" Alessandra joked as their waiter entered and they ordered their food.
"How is being a Prince though?, I feel people think your life is super easy"
"I don't know I have nothing to complain about, now if you asked my brothers totally different stories," James said causing Alessandra to fix her gaze on him, how was he so nonchalant about being a royal she remembers reading an article which spoke of how Harry didn't want to be royal as it was hard but here James was not complaining "Maybe the fact that I'm not Diana's son makes me not so interesting so people don't find me interesting so no gossip on me"
"My heart used to skip a beat every time I saw a new picture of you at an engagement, you're so down to earth and so relatable I wish more people would see that" Alessandra praised him "I especially love your relationship with your fellow royal mates"
"Why?" James had never been on a date with someone who praised him so highly it was mostly Harry and occasionally William being praised.
"I don't know, it's just so cute especially seeing you at all these royal christenings, you're so cute when carrying kids they should be your handbag, how many godchildren do you have?"
" 12, but I'm slowly rising"
"I only have one" Alessandra laughed as she said that "Enough about your royal life, what do you like doing in your spare time?"
"Trying new things"
"That is not an answer, for instance, I like hiking"
"Never been" James shrugged his shoulders as Alessandra's jaw dropped.
"What? I'll take you up one of my favourite hiking spots"
"Okay Alessandra, your name is so long"
"I know" Alessandra panted as she wiped some fake sweat "I get tired just by saying it once, most people prefer Ali or as my mother likes to call me Sandy"
"Sassa" James whispered as he took her hand as the two walked out of the restaurant.
"What?"
"Nothing"
"I like it" she whispered smiling up at him.

"How was it?" Samantha asked her friend the moment she entered their shared apartment.
"Nothing special, I don't think we clicked" Alessandra sighed but her friend didn't stop questioning her.
"I know you're lying to me," Samantha said as she walked into Ali's room "Come on Al just tell me"
"Okay, it was amazing... well amazing for me seeing as how I got to ask him all the questions I've ever wanted to ask" Alessandra droned on and on about the date and how amazing it was while Samantha just gave her friend a knowing smile.
"He's also allergic to dogs, which is a good thing cause I don't like dogs... oh and he's such a gentleman Sammy you should have been there" Alessandra added as she started stating all the things she liked about James while her friend just nodded her head and listened to Alessandra.
"... He has this wonderful aura around him, We're going on a second date a week after new years"
Samantha looked at her friend and asked "Do you think you guys would date?"
"If he asks I'm all for it" Alessandra laughed at her statement as Samantha rolled her eyes "I mean hello if Prince Harry were to ask me out I'd say yes"
"And what about your Ross"
"Fuck Ross is he a Prince?" Samantha added as the two girls spent the rest of the night discussing James and comparing them to some of the guys she had crushed on.
