MAYA'S POV
"Braylin ... hey dear." I called out from Braylin.
She stirred but didn't show any sign of removing her hands from me. "Braylin... please wake up." She groaned. "What is it?" She mumbled into my ears as she buried her face on my nape. "I need to use to bathroom." She groaned again.
"Just let it go on the bed. I don't want to let you go." What?! She wants me to just let it go here?!
"Are you mad? Let me go now. I can't hold it anymore." She finally let me go and I literally ran towards the bathroom. Is this what being in a relationship means? If so, I need to make my bladder a lot stronger when my lover hold me down on the bed?
"What are you doing? I'm not done peeing!" I asked when I saw her waltz inside the bathroom. "I'm getting ready take a bath. Don't you remember? We have an important meeting to attend." Don't remember? I can't even sleep with that in mind.
"Don't be shy. We have the same body parts." She winked while facing the mirror.
I noticed that she'a beautiful when she let her hair go freely like that. It's not that she's not beautiful when she put her hair in a ponytail but, it's different.
She almost looks like a princess, well without the attitude. I looked away when she started to strip in front of me. Well, she's awfully open-minded about her body.
She went into the shower before taking a peek at me. "Your welcome to join me. I can wash your back for you." She winked.
I decided to ignore the temptation and waited for her. While waiting, I was mesmerized by the beauty of her voice when she sang in the showers.
"You know, if your not a princess, you should be a singer." She was smiling wide while showing off her perfectly toned abs to me.
"Really? I was forced to take a singing lesson. I'm glad you like my voice then. The showers all yours." She started to dry herself up with a towel.
I strip my sleeping attire right in front of her and she actually whistling at me. "Now that's a view. You should wear something that fits your body more. I mean you have the curve and portion here." She was pointing at my chest.
"If I do that you will be jealous like before. But hey I'm okay with wearing more revealing clothes." She immediately opposes it. "No. I'm sorry. Just dress how you normally dress, please." She begged. I chuckled while walking into the shower.
The feeling of this water hitting my face was divine! It's almost like... it's relaxing for me. If only I have the time to fully experience this and just soak myself in the tub for a few hours, that will be great.
When I'm done, I followed Braylin into the closet. "What should I wear?" I asked the princess. "Your choice. You can wear a dress or anything that makes you comfortable. My parents don't mind." This is the former king and queen we're talking about here!
Maybe I should go for the basic white dress. That will show how pure I am. Hold on, does that make me seems desperate?! I don't know what to do!
After several fitting, I finally settle down with a white jumpsuit while the princess decided to go casual, like really casual, like when you dress up to meet a friend or something.
Well, they're her parents. Oh God if only she knows how loud my heart trying to protest.
"Ready, dear?" Braylin smiling wide at me.
I sighed and offer my hand. "Let's do this." She was chuckling. "Your hand is shaking. Are you nervous?" Of course, I am! I'm about to meet your parents! Alright!! Calm down, Maya. You're a dignified woman now. Don't embarrass your grande soeur.
Oh God! Who am I kidding, I probably will wreck the whole thing up!
"Ready?" Wait, What? We're here already?!
Braylin pushed the door and while I took a couple of a deep breath but when my eyes landed on her parents, I was, stunned.
Who is that? I asked myself.
"Mom, the dad, meet Maya, my fiancée." Don't intro me as your fiancée! I don't even know they approve of me. The former king and queen turned their attention to me. Braylin's mother put down the deck of cards on the table and walked up to us.
"Maya? I am Braylin's mother." So young!
"I'm the father!" So old! He waved his hands at me like an overly excited little kid.
"She's my stepmother," Braylin whispered. THAT EXPLAINED IT ALL!
Her mother was smiling wide. "Come, join us." I nodded and followed the former queen. They're friendly enough. Why am I so nervous before? "You do look like Anastasia now that you're up close." Braylin's mother smacked her husband head hard.
"Elizabeth said that we shouldn't talk about that in public. This place consider as public, you know that?" To have your parents to follow what you say, Elizabeth must be quite a woman.
"They're both afraid of Elizabeth. She's a maniac when it comes to controlling our father." Braylin explained.
"Oh yes. I'm sorry little one. Is Maya it? My name is Hassler, this is Ruby. We're Braylin's parents, the cool parents, you catch my drift?" They're more like embarrassing parents than cool parents to me.
"Your cool dad!" They both high five each other. Braylin's mother smiling at me. "They're always like that. Come, join me. Tea?" I nodded.
The former queen herself pouring the tea for me. "Scones?" Again I nodded. "You don't have to be nervous. I don't bite or eat people. To tell you the truth, I wasn't born royal. I was a dancer before." I nearly spit out my hot tea.
"Pardon?" Braylin chuckled.
"Mom here is a former dancer at a local club. She found dad when he decided to check out the local brothel and clubs for his own selfish desire. Of course, Elizabeth nearly kills him for doing so. He's the king for God sake. But love makes you do some of the craziest stunts ever, he married her and made her queen."
For real? "She looks shocked. What should we do?" Braylin's Mother looks like she's genuinely worried.
"I'm sorry for my reaction. I just couldn't believe the fact." They all laughed. "See mom, she's kind right. She never judges someone based on their background." Her mother nodding her head.
"Yes, she's amazing!" The former king suddenly stood up and leaned into me.
"Honestly, you look like Anastasia. I can't believe this, you're the only survivor." I remembered something I wanted to asked them. "Do you know my parents?" The former king nodded. "We're poker buddy together with Glen Heroux. That's how Braylin came to terms with Charlotte. Well, you."
"We really met when we were little?" Braylin nodded. "We did. I was a year older but I remember you. You were younger and childish. But I fell for you hardcore." The former king sat back down.
"Braylin was in a state of depression when she learned about your family's tragedy."
"Father that's enough. What's in the past, stays in the past." Her mother suddenly clapped her hands. "That's true Hassler. Now, let's enjoy this lovely morning with a simple game of polo, shall we?" She tried to change the mood.
Polo? With horses? Wait, where are they dragging me?! No...! Stop!!
***
"Oh God my groin!" I whined while Braylin helped me walked up the stairs.
"Remind me not to ride a horse ever again!" I complain while she laughed at my misery. "Ha ha! That's funny huh." Braylin cleared her throat. "Riding a horse is something a princess learned when she was little. I started to ride them when I was 6 years old." No wonder she rides like a champion.
"I won several championships as well." Scratch that, she is a champion! I lay on the bed with the help of Braylin. This pain I feel around my thigh, will s*x feel this way? What if it's more painful than this?! Well, I gotta have it, thank God Braylin doesn't have a d**k!
"Why are you smiling like a maniac?" She asked when she walked out of the bathroom without any clothes on. But I have to admit, her body is one hell of a joy ride. "Need help undressing?" She asked when she stood next to the bed. I can't believe I came face to face with her v****a right now.
"No. I can do it myself." I tried to get up without her help. The thing is, my muscle is beginning to protest my afford to do things on my own. Come on muscle! Move it!!
"Jesus Christ. Just let me help you." I stopped her with my hand. "I am an independent woman! I can do this on my own!" Oh God, I feel like I'm just like an old woman trying to get up from a chair! Before I could even stand up properly, Braylin decided to carry me towards the bathroom.
"I just can't wait." She said when she placed me down.
She started to remove my jacket and shirt. I don't know why but I don't hate the way she takes control of this situation. She proceeds to unbutton my pants and pulled it down until I'm only in my undergarment. "Want me to continue or you will do this alone."
"I'll do it myself." I quickly said and ushered her out of the bathroom.
"Alright." She was laughing when I closed the door behind me. What was that? I was this close to ask her to continue and put me into the bath. Now, how am I suppose to put myself into the tub without acting like an old lady?
I just do what I have to do and let it slide. The pain was gone as soon as my body hit the hot water in the tub. I was at bliss.
Slowly I drifted to sleep inside the tub. Now, this is the life.
But before long I heard someone opened the bathroom door and use the shower not far from the tub. When I opened my eyes, Braylin was washing her body.
She's one hot woman, that's what my mind telling me.
"Take a picture, it'll last longer." She said before looking at me over her shoulder.
"Do you need help out of there?" She asked politely. Well, it doesn't hurt to ask for help right? "Well yes. Please." She smiled when she's done with her shower.
She reached out to grabbed my body and lifted me up from the tub.
I'm kinda like this. She's so strong I just want her to carry me wherever I want.
"Can you walk now?" She asked. Surprising, the pain is gone. I nodded. "Good. That bathwater helps then. I was told that this bath therapy can help ease the aching muscle after a long workout. Anyway, after your done, come to the private living room. I'll be waiting there. Okay?" Again I nodded.
She went inside the closet and put on some clothes before leaving me alone. Hold on, did she prepared that clothes for me?
She has good taste. When I put it on, I was having trouble to keep my breast inside properly. Did she planned this the whole time?!
She just wants to have a nip slip, isn't she? I can't believe her but I grew to love this dress.
Eh, what the heck. Let's just do whatever she wants. After put on some light makeup to compliment my dress, I went out and try to find this private living room she mentioned earlier.
One of the maids was kind enough to show me the way.
I looked around and looking for her but she's nowhere to be found. The only thing I find was a letter and it was addressed to me.
"Come out to the balcony," I said out loud.
Balcony? Alright. I turned the knob and was shocked to see she's sitting on a table filled with food.
Oh wow. We're eating out here?" She nodded. "It's a date." She smiled. Just how did she find the time to make this happen? I never once see her leave my side at all today.
This is sweet.
***
"How was it?" She asked when we're done eating our lunch. "Delicious. Did you make it?" She laughed. "I never once left your side, my dear. It's the maids. Besides I don't know how to cook at all." She's being honest.
"Well, I don't want to brag but. I can cook. Not much but I can." I smiled. "Really? You should make me something in the future. How about that?" She suggested. "But my cooking will never top this." I referring to the meal we just had.
"The taste is not important. What's important is the one who prepared it. If it's you, I bet it's tasty." She winked. Oh God, why does she have to be so sweet towards me?!
I was just wiping my mouth with the cloth when I heard series of children laughing not far from us. When I try to look for the source, I came across a group of little kids running around the field. "Looks like my nephew is having some friends over," Braylin explained.
"Looks like he's bringing the whole block!" I expressed my thoughts.
"He's friends with the neighborhood kids. Elizabeth sometimes invited them all to the palace for a free meal. My nephew love to make friends and he doesn't care what background they came from. Being a royalty means no boundary. The rich and poor is the same in our eyes."
That's noble of them. If only all of the royal and noble family think that way, this world will be a better place. "Anyway, we'll go home tomorrow, to Esnaria. I bet you miss your parents huh?" I am.
I miss them and my brothers. Hope Simon is well enough now.
"Do you think it's my turn to meet your family?" She asked out of the blue.
Well, I did meet hers. "Are you ready to meet mine?" I turned to face her. "I was born ready. I mean, to get to your good side I have to charm your family right?" She chuckled.
What is this feeling? I think ... my heart ... is telling me that ... I'm ... fallen for her ... hard!
"I'm sorry for the interruption but, you have an urgent call, princess." Ariel smiled at us.
Braylin took the call and I saw Ariel placed a fencing sword on the table. "What's that for?" I asked. "Braylin asked me to get her fencing sword. She said she wanted to join a fencing club in Monarch. She wanted to beat Aurora in her own game."
Wait, Aurora can fence?! I never knew that. "She can fence? That tells me I have more things to know about my own grande soeur." I chuckled.
"Oh, Aurora? Yea she's a nutcase. She's good at everything. Swordplay, martial art even shooting a gun." Braylin walked back in.
She got that last part right. I know, I witnessed it myself! It still brought me chills to this day. She was a maniac and she started to laugh hysterically while killing those people.
"Oh Ariel, that was Ruby calls. She said Aurora need the thing she gave you years ago to be brought back. Can you take that thing out of it's hiding place? I think it's wise as well." Ariel nodded and leave us alone.
"Oh. She brought my foil." She took the sword and started swinging it.
"Perfection. Do you know how to fence?" She asked. "No." She placed the sword down. "You should try it. It's like dancing and it's easy." The maids started to clear the table off.
"How about I show you around town before we go home?" She suggested it. Well, I do want to visit this kingdom up close. I slowly nodded. She stood up and offered her hand to me. I took it and she leads me towards an awaiting car.
"Since the palace is a bit far from the main town, we should use the car to go there." She said when we're inside.
Along the way, the citizen waved at us, well, waved at the princess because it not every day that the royal family decided to visit the town. Well, that what Ariel said. She insisted that we should wait for her before we go to town. She said she wanted to buy something before we went back to Monarch.
This town, it nothing like Esnaria. Here it seems that it's a little bit, old. It's like the town itself stuck in the past.
"This is the old part of town. The new part is on that way where the new buildings such as cinema, malls, and hotels were built. I don't want to show you that part because we see plenty of it in Esnaria. Now this town, it's my personal favorite. It has everything we could ask for." Braylin seems delighted.
She suddenly grabbed my hand when we got out of the car.
"Ariel, stay close, not too close." Ariel saluted.
"Come, I want to introduce you to someone special." Someone special?! Who?! I thought I am. The way she's dragging me around like this, she's excited to see this person. I swear if it's some chick with giant gazongas, I'm going to leave her.
"Hey. I'm back." When I turned to face this special someone Braylin talking to, I begin to feel ashamed of myself. This special someone she mentioned is just an old woman selling homemade ice cream!
"Oh, princess. Welcome. The usual?" The old woman turned her side to look behind us.
"How about you guys? Usual?" I turned around and noticed Ariel and a couple of the guards nodding their head. Seems like she used to this by now.
"Heather, meet Maya. My special someone." The old woman smiling at me. "Really? Tell me, what flavor do you like?" I look at the variety of flavors of ice cream she has. They all yummy but ...my heart strongly stated to choose chocolate.
"Chocolate." She smiled. "One chocolate coming right up!" She's excited to announce that. "Tell me, she's your friend?" I whispered to Braylin.
"She used to work at the palace as head chef. But as you can see, she's getting older and my parents decided that she should retire. From the pension money she received, she opened this store. I used to go here every day." The old woman handed me a cup of ice cream.
It looks tasty. After I taste a scoop of this ice cream, I thought I never taste such a delicious ice cream before. This ... is ... heaven!
"I know the feeling." Braylin smiled when she saw me eating the ice cream as if my life depends on it.
"We should bring some tomorrow. Can we please? We can eat them on the plane." Braylin was surprised. "You actually asked for something from me. I'm glad and sure. We can take some. I will send Ariel to get some tomorrow."
I smiled. I didn't know what or who took over my body as I kissed her on the lips in front of everyone. She froze when I pulled away. I blushed and pushed her lightly
