Princess Duties

Logan's Point of View!
Monday Morning!

I didn't leave my room all Sunday. I'm so upset with my father and his crazy rules I just can't take it anymore. He doesn't want to help the people in Brixton but when I do it's a problem. My mom came and talked to me last night. Of course, she's on my father's side and that's fine. I have no authority over anything, not even my own life. Well, today there is a Garden Party that we must attend as a family.   The Queen throws about Three garden parties every year and all the royal families and Royal people have to come.  This is the first one of the year. College just let out for the summer.  Good for me I get to be at the Community Center every day.  I put on the outfit that was laid out for me and did my hair.  After that, I walked downstairs and waited on my family.  One by one everybody came down.  My mom first, Then my dad, and after that my brother.  I for one wasn't talking to anyone but they all were.  Our car pulled up, we all walked out.  Our driver opened the door and we got in.  My Mother and Father sat on one side of the car My brother and I sat on the other.  " I need everybody to act accordingly " My Father began to say.  I looked out the window, I knew this was towards me.

" No shenanigans.  This is the first garden party of the season.  There will be lots of media coverage and lots of paparazzi just waiting for you guys to slip up.  Don't be those kids " My Father said speaking but I could hear him speaking directly at me.   " Golly Father why don't you just say my name if you're going to talk straight to me," I said finally looking at him.  " Please don't start this " My Mother spoke.  " Okay Logan, Act like a Princess.  Not a spoiled brat or you could just stay home " My Father spoke.  We were at a stoplight I grabbed my purse and opened the door.  " I'll stay at home.  Have fun without me " I said getting out and closing the door.  I walked off and I heard my Father shouting after me.  I got a cab and had them drive me to the square.  I decided I'll go shopping. I went into the shop and started looking at Tiaras for Isabella.  While I was shopping I saw the most beautiful Tiara it'll be perfect for her.  It's not too big and not too small.  It looks like one my Mummy gave me when I was a little girl.   It's perfect.  I bought it and had them put it in a little Tiara box and then I walked out of the store.  I started waiting to see if I saw another cab when something caught my eye. 

I saw this beautiful and elegant dress in the dress shop across the street.  I walked over and looked at it.  This will be perfect for Isabella.  Shell loves it.  I walked into the store and asked the lady to buy it.  I had them put it in a gift bag and I walked out.  While I was waiting for a cab I pulled out my phone and texted Luke. I asked him for his address. He texted it to me and I told him I'll be there in about 30 minutes.   I got a cab asking them to take me home.  After I got home I grabbed the keys to my bike and drove to the address he gave me.  It was closer to my side of town but you could tell it wasn't my side of town.  I pulled up to what I thought was the right house and I was shocked.  It's pretty nice than what I'm used to seeing on this side of town.  I walked up and knocked on the door.  About One minute later the door opened and Luke was standing there shirtless.  " Oh, I umm Okay " I stuttered turning around.  " Something wrong, " Luke asked? " well umm you're half-naked.  I'm waiting for you to put on clothes " I said still turned away.  " Umm okay.  I'll go put on a shirt and you can come in if you want " Luke said walking away from the door.  I walking in slowly closing the door behind me.  " Can I get you something? " Luke asked putting on his shirt.  " Umm, no is Isabella here," I asked?  " She's on her way with my mom.  They should be here in a second.  You can wait for her or just leave it "  Luke said sitting down in a chair in front of the Television.  " I'll wait, " I said sitting on the other end of the sofa.  

" You know Isabella won't stop talking about you," Luke said smiling.  " Yeah what did she say, " I asked smiling?  " How amazing you are.  She also told me your little secret " Luke said looking at me.  I immediately freaked out.  " What secret, " I said with a nervous chuckle.  " That you like me," Luke said smirking.  I felt so much relief.  " I did not tell her that, " I said quickly.  " You didn't deny it though," Luke said smirking.  " Oh whatever," I said laughing.  " It's okay to like me.  I mean look at me.  I'm fine as hell " Luke said.  " Watch your mouth," I said popping him laughing.  " Okay mom," Luke said laughing.  " Please, you like me, and you've been trying to flirt with me since that day in your car," I said laughing.  " Whatever.  Anyways,  What's with the outfit " Luke asked.  " Ohh umm I had dinner with some people but I ended up not going, " I said.  " Oh okay.  It's fancy " Luke said laughing. ( In the media )" Yeah, How old are you, " I asked changing the subject?  " I'm Twenty-Seven.  How old are you " Luke asked?  " I'm Twenty-One," I said. " You're young, " Luke said.  " What do you do for a living," I asked?  Before he could answer the door opened and in ran Isabella with this woman behind her.  I stood up and Isabella came to hug me.  I hugged her back.  " Hi Izzy, How are you," I said smiling.  " I'm great.  This is my grandma " Isabella said walking me to her grandma.  " Hello, I'm Vanessa, " Isabella's grandma said.  " Hello Mrs. Vanessa I'm Logan," I said shaking her hand.  " Miss, I'm not married sweetie. Have I seen you somewhere before " Miss. Vanessa asked me? " Umm not that I can remember, " I said knowing she's probably seen me in the paper or something.

  " What are you doing here," Isabella asked pulling me away?  " Well I brought you a gift," I said picking up the bag and handing it to her.  Isabella screamed snatching the bag from me.  I laughed and watched her as she opened it.  She pulled out the dress and the shoes first and started jumping up and down.  " It's so beautiful Miss. Logan " Isabella screamed hugging me.  " It's one more thing in there," I said smiling.  She pulled out the Tiara box and opened it.  " Oh my God " Miss. Vanessa, Luke, and Isabella said all together.  " What is it too small," I asked? " Too small this had to be over Three hundred dollars " Miss. Vanessa said.  " I don't know I didn't look at the price but she said she wanted a real Tiara.  I tried to find one that would fit that beautiful face of hers " I said smiling.  " Logan she can't accept this " Luke said.  " Well it's kinda none refundable," I said laughing.  " Sweetie do you realize that you bought a very expensive crown for a little girl " Miss. Vanessa asked.  " With all due respect, it's not about the money.  I wanted to do something for her that she'll never forget and she'll always cherish and love.  I wanted her to feel like a true Princess.  I mean the fake ones are cute and they make you feel pretty for a moment but this will make her feel beautiful and feel like a Princess forever " I said smiling.  " You are so sweet.  You truly are an angel " Miss. Vanessa said hugging me.  I hugged her back.  " Now please send me pictures when you put it on so I can show all my friends how much of a cute junior Princess you are, " I said grabbing my phone and walking towards the door.

" I'll walk you out," Luke said standing up.  We walked outside and before I walked to my bike he stopped me.  " Thank you.  You've made her the happiest little girl ever and you barely even know her " Luke said.  "It's more of a pleasure for me than it is for her, " I said smiling.  " How about I take you out Friday.  To thank you " Luke asked?  " Umm I'll let you know," I said walking to my bike.  I Got on my bike and started to drive off when Isabella came running to me.   " Miss. Logan wait.  I made this for you.  It's a matching friendship bracelet " Isabella said.  " Thak you Izzy.  I'll never take it off.  I promise " I said putting it on and hugging her.  She walked off and I drove off on my bike back home.  All I could think about was Luke asking me on a date.  I was so happy but so scared because I know I can't have anything with him.  I'm breaking all the rules and I don't even care that's the scary part.  I don't know what to do. I got home and went straight to my room locking the door.  I want to be left alone when they get home.
