A Promotion!!
“I need someone to talk to obviously.” she sighed and nodded. She opened the door about to walk out,
“oh, and Diana,” she turned her head. What did he want this time?
“Never question my authority again or else there would be consequences.” he grinned seductively at her making her heart race. She simply nodded and exited the door, closing it behind her.
He sniffed in the fragrance of her perfume and finished his meal. It was so delicious, way better than the barf Eleanor made. He gulped the rest of the water and smiled, feeling full and satisfied.
Now he just waited for her to come back, to have that little chat. The door opened and she closed it behind her. He smiled at her and motioned her to sit on the bed.
“so your majesty, what do you want to talk about?” she smirked at him. He smiled in return,
“anything you want to talk about.” he looked at her like a five years old listening to an amazing story. She laughed a little and locked her eyes with his, staring deep into his soul. Her lips parted a little,
“How does it feel like being king?” she smiled revealing her white pearls.
“horrible,” he said smiling. She laughed louder this time, covering her smile with the back of her palm. She lay on the bed beside him and propped her head with both palms, her elbows firmly planted on the bed.
“How is it horrible?” she spoke up, staring deeply into his eyes. He brought his face closer to hers and whispered,
“well, there’s always a lot of work to do. And you might barely get sleep or even eat. And you have to go for long conferences listening to boring people speak.” he smiled slightly. She giggled at his response,
“and how I am sure that you’re not just being lazy?” a smirk crept up her lips. He pulled away from her and pulled his royal clothes away from his body, indicating there was a lot of space in there. Then he pointed to the bags around his eyes that were slightly unnoticeable, and he grabbed a handful of his mane and tugged it gently. All he did with a smile on his face.
She laughed at his actions, flooding his heart with a warm feeling. Love. He chuckled a bit,
“plus I still have to plan an engagement but I really want to talk to you, so yeah, I’m avoiding my duties,” he admitted and fell to the bed. She climbed up a little on the bed to meet his gaze,
“We can just do it together.” she got lost in his orbs, then remembering the first time she was trapped in his eyes. A small smile crept upon his lips,
“you don’t mind?” he asked and stroked her cheeks with the tip of his fingers. She closed her eyes, accepting his touch, and gently shook her head. His fingers traced her left cheek down to her lips, gently brushing them, making her smile a bit.
She kissed his fingers and opened her eyes to swim endlessly in his blue orbs. She strokes his hair and plays with it,
“I like your hair, it looks rad on you.” her compliment made him laugh,
“thank you.” he joked, making her giggle. Her giggles were cut short when he placed a soft kiss on her lips, catching her off guard. She kisses him back lovingly, slowly opening her mouth for him.
He gets the message and slides his tongue into her mouth. He caresses her tongue with his and quickly withdraws, teasing her. He moves his tongue all around her mouth, teasing every spot of it, resulting in a low moan from her.
He plays with her tongue again, taking it into his own mouth and sucking on it. She moans more and louder this time, enjoying the warmth of his mouth. They break the kiss, gasping for air, their breaths warm with love.
He went for her lower lip, sucking on it, making her moan. His right-hand runs through her hair as he pulls on her lip and lets it snap right back, while his left arm supports him. They kiss roughly, venting out their love on each other lips.
They break the kiss and lay beside each other in silence, holding each other. Although they just kissed, it felt like they shared a soul. The silence was enough for them, nothing needed to be said. They could hear each other heartbeats, nothing could be better than this. The feeling of love.
Rob marveled at the engagement plan that was written on a piece of paper. The whole event had been planned on that very paper. Something that could have taken him three days or more to plan, she did it in under thirty minutes. She’s a miracle.
He held the paper close to his heart, smiling,
“she would make a very good wife,” he said to himself, dreamingly. He looked at her handwriting, so beautiful, so enchanting, he sighed lovingly,
“Rob, aren’t you a stinker? You’re going to be engaged soon to Eleanor and here you are thinking of another woman.” he criticized himself, still adoring the plan.
Diana walked in on him and saw him smiling awkwardly at the engagement plan, she gave herself a confused look and bowed,
“your majesty.” she hailed him to snap him out of his trance and from falling in love with a piece of paper. He looked up at her, feeling embarrassed,
“hey you don’t have to call me that.” he rubbed his head sheepishly. It didn’t sound right to him, plus, he would have preferred something like ‘my husband’.
“But I am just paying you your respect.” she stood upright and strode over to his throne, then, she handed him another piece of paper,
“what’s this?” he read through it, seeing the different kinds of dishes enlisted, and let’s not forget desserts.
“it’s the menu for the engagement. A few common dishes mixed with some foreign ones and sweet desserts” she bowed once again, waiting for his response. A smile began forming on his face as he read through the list again. He looked at her, then at the paper, then at her, and the paper.
He stood up from his throne and stood in front of her, he brought her up to eye level and hugged her.
“you do not know how much you’ve helped me!” he exclaimed. She smiled and slowly accepted the warm hug. Then too soon, for her, he pulled apart,
“you deserve a promotion!” he smiled at her, his statement surprising her,
“but this is my first day of work” she countered.
“I don’t care. I’m the king and I can do whatever I want. You’re now my personal maid!”
“What?!” he grinned at her expression.
“you heard me right. Now that you’re my personal maid, your duty is to take complete care of me. Every meal I eat will be made by you, and if I have any problems, you would be the first to know about it and fix it, and you also have to make sure I am kept happy and healthy.” he sat down on his throne as she gave him a ‘you’re kidding’ expression.
“and I’m not kidding.” he flashed her his smile and she groaned. This wasn’t happening. Not that she didn’t like it, but she had to pretend not to like it, and it would most definitely mean more work for her, but it’s better doing it with his company.
She sighed,
“um your majesty, I-”
“don’t call me that! You can call me anything else except that!” he cut her short. She thought for a while,
“your highness?”
“no.”
“your excellency?”
“no.”
“my king?” she looked at him when he didn’t say anything.
“I like that one” he praised, grinning seductively at her. Her eyes popped out,
“why that one?! Just say no and let me think of another one!” she begged.
“no.” she groaned at his response, “what?! You did say I should say no, now didn’t you?” he was smarter than she expected, using her worst enemy, English, to outsmart her.
“so tell me if you have any more info on the engagement.” his grin widened.
“well, I’ve been looking over some designs for the maids and the guards and I’ve found some to be of particular interest. I can show you if you want me to?” he thought for a while and gave a yes to it. She left and about two minutes later, she came back with a book filled with royal dresses and designs.
She flipped to a certain page and showed him. He was looking at a stunning red dress with silver streaks and a bow just at the midsection of the dress. It was coupled with red dangling earrings and a silver head bow.
“it’s beautiful” he turned his gaze to her, “you really have an eye for dresses.” she smiled,
“I just really liked it,” she admitted.
“you’ve really outdone yourself today, Diana. I think you need another promotion.” she cringed,
“no thank you, your highness.” he coughed out and she sighed, “my king.”
“that’s better.” he smiled broadly at her, “I’m going to bed now and when I wake up, you better be ready for me,” he whispered, giving a devilish grin. She felt blood rush to her whole face, making it turn red,
“I think Rava is calling me.” she gave the silliest excuse and awkwardly ran away. He laughed to himself, he just scared her away. The moment she stepped foot into the castle, he’d forgotten about Eleanor. She just didn’t seem so important to him anymore.
He just shrugged the thought of her off, she wasn’t bothering him so why should he give himself a headache thinking about her? she can sort herself, she obviously isn’t a kid.
