Royal Deception

chapter forty-two

"Sweetheart pass the salt please" I politely requested of Louis.

"It's in the middle of the table" he snapped and God if everyone wasn't looking at me I'm sure i would have scolded him.

But apparently every meal with the Royals was a formal meal. The atmosphere was so thick and tense I'm sure flies suffocated.

"When do you suppose you two will get married?" Eleanor bursted looking between  William and I... I stared at her choking on my food.

The Queen held back a smile while William rubbed , more like hit my back.

"I wanted to ask that too Mommy when are you marrying daddy?" Louis innocently asked and I had no choice but to say what I said next.

"Excuse me I need to use the bathroom" and with that I left.

*****"Today we are going to teach you a small task" The Queen and Eleanor announced.

Let it not be dancing ,Let it not be dancing.

I internally pleaded.

"Cooking" they both announced . This was worse than dancing.

Between going to work and taking care of Louis I never had time to learn the simple art of how to make a single dish. All I knew was how to heat Chinese food or microwave frozen pizza.

Pathetic i know.

"Because..." the Queen paused waiting for Eleanor to complete her sentence.

"The way to win a man's heart is through his stomach" Sue finished off and i gasped.

"With all due respect Queen Cleopatra I am not interested by all means in winning your son's heart" i voiced and Eleanor looked broken for a second or two.

"Eleanor i haven't spilled the tea yet" she smiled holding her daughter's soft hand "Oliver does not wish to marry your brother apparently they are not in good books"

"After what I saw last night!" She gushed out...

and I looked sideways remembering. I prayed for my cheeks not to heat up but sometimes what we pray for just isn't happening.

"Sweetheart you are flashed" the Queen commented " And Eleanor what did you see?"

Eleanor looked at me as if she was asking for approval to say it but I didnt show any expression and I guess she got the wrong impression.

"I saw Oliver and William having sex against a wall in his room" she confessed. Holy Squid.

"We were not having sex!" I defended

"It looked like that to me" Eleanor said

"We were not having sex!" I replied raising my hands.

"He was naked!" She defended on her part.

"We were not having sex Eleanor,  just let it go!" I yelled. I didn't meant to raise my voice but...come on she was pestering me about my sex life.

"Oliver you are getting all angry and defensive do you know what that means?" the Queen asked and a small part of me didn't want to ask what it meant but a bigger part wanted to ask so it did.

"What does it mean?"

"It means you were indeed having sex against a wall" and I didnt think twice before I left the room.

I couldn't just go about and act normal to them when they were going to talk about my sex life. They had to set boundaries and I didnt know how they would do that but they just had to.
