Following the King

Prince William

" A SIMPLE GIRL FROM THE COUNTRYSIDE. THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE! DONT YOU DARE DREAM ABOUT THE PRINCE. HE WOULD NEVER LAY EYES ON SUCH A s**t. " my stepmother yelled at me after she found my diary in which I wrote about how charming Prince William was.

" I am a city girl. You. on the other side are a countryside b***h " I yelled back in a calmer manner.

" I will not let you work there anymore. I will have a talk with the prince today. Consider yourself grounded " she slammed the door behind.

I didn't cry like most girl would have done. I didn't believe her at first . It was only the following day when I went to the bakery and Helga told me I was dismissed. She felt sorry for me.

" I want to talk to the Prince. He is the one who fired me and I deserve explanations as I dont see why he would mention that my work is amazing and then dismiss me. " Helga was such a good friend. She understood my reasons and she told me to wait there. The Prince never came that day. I still waited untill the bakery closed. The following day was exactly the same. Helga and the others started to worry about the Prince. The 3rd day he arrived and announced that has been working at the palace and that he couldn't come.

"Prince William. I believe you owe me some explanation. Why have I been dismissed in spite of doing a brilliant job?"

I asked without shame.

" Well. Ella, it's true you were doing a great job but I was hoping to have a chat with you in private. I apologize for not being around. I want to make it up to you. Meet me at dinner, tonight. It will be a business meeting. I will give you further information after I pick you up. "

He didn't give me the opportunity to respond as he quickly walked to his office. My heart was pounding and secretly hpping he was inviting me to a date. I couldn't focus on anything else. I decided to go shopping. It didn't help with the butterflies in my stomach.
