"I can not believe its you" exclaimed aunt Nina hugging me. She stopped halfway and noticed the tiny boy behind me despite how very tall he was for his age .
"Is this him?" She asked with a teary face.
"Yes Nina that's Louis" I replied as she embraced him in a warm hug.
"Mommy who is she?" He curiously asked
"This is my aunt Nina" I told him as Nina loosened her hold
"Oliver!!!!!" Exclaimed Chloe coming from the house running expressly to me. I didnt have time to dodge before we both fell flat on the ground, me below and her on top.
Classic.
"I freaking missed you I was on the verge of dying" she dramatically said falling into my arms.
"You haven't changed a bi..."
"No freaking way" she said glaring at my son cutting me at mid sentence "...he's like a fucking carbon copy of Carter how the fuck did that happen?" she questioned nearing the boy
"Chloe language we have a child here" thankfully Nina reminded her.
"Fuck I'm sorry" she apologised but we all glared at her. For christ's sake she needed to change her choice of words.
Chloe looked more beautiful and her red hair was shining even more. Her body had become more slender but elegant.
"Gimme a hug" she said holding her arms out looking at Louis but the boy only stared at her rooted to the ground like a germinating plant.
"I dont just hug people" he replied lifting his small chin in the air.
"He's cocky" she retorted and forced him to hug her which only resulted in a tantrum from Louis.
"She touched me" he cried running into my arms . " I told her not to" and I silently laughed cooing him to keep quiet.
"I have a feeling we're going to be friends kid" Chloe murmured walking into the house.
"Welcome home Oliver" Nina said carrying my bag from the taxi into Chloe's room. I had a silent moment of dejavu and it took a lot more than a small internal pep talk for me not to break down.
*****"So?" I asked Chloe once everyone had slept . Sophie and uncle Max were in Finland for an art competition Sohie would be participating in.
Nina had fought me tooth and nail to sleep with Louis even after I'd told her I was okay with sleeping with my son . But soon after he had fallen asleep she had sprinted into the room ,taken the boy and went to sleep with him . I was left hopeless.
So finally Chlo and I were alone.
"So?" She asked back
"Stop being dense you said you had juicy news now tell me" and her facial expression changed she looked tense and that was so unlike her .
"Oh about that" she said rubbing her hands together
"Dont 'oh-about-that' me I flew all the way from America to England now tell me why you badly wanted me here"
"I...I " she staggered
"You what ?got a boyfriend? Got promote..."
"I found Carter" and her statement was enough to make me go mute .
"And apparently there's a lot you dont know about him?"
My mind was elsewhere but I managed to ask "what do you mean?"
"I mean his name is not Carter and he's far from ordinary"
"What do you mea..n" I gasped the pressure became too intense in my head .
"Forgive me but I wasnt really into politics especially royal news" she breathed " apparently his father was the late King of England, King George the third" she paused
"Are you still there?" She asked pulling me out of my trance
"Yes continue" somehow I needed to know
"Yes so as we speak Carter who is originally known as William Harry Pollet is the King of England"
"What do you mean?" I was dazed
"I mean your Uni sweetheart is the mighty King of England" she smiled
Silence ate me up. My lips felt stitched.
"This doesn't make sense" I finally spoke and the words were a mere whisper .
"Yes it doesnt it makes dollars" it took me seconds to understand her very unfunny joke.
"Say something meaningful"
"It makes fucking sense I mean look at it he disappeared four freaking years ago same time apparently the King died if it still doesnt add up to you then I don't know why Oxford approved your application" she snorted and I hit her in the head lightly
I needed air lots of it . Chloe was telling me that everything I believed in was a lie face it . He had lied to me . And that hurt really bad.
"I dont know why you're telling me this it's not like you and I are going to go to the royal palace and demand to speak to the king" I honestly spoke
"Geez how stupid do I look? I recently got in contact with Henry" she replied
"Henry? The couch guy?" I asked
"I'd appreciate it if you called him my ex"
"I dont see where that piece fits in the puzzle"
"Well I probably forgot to mention that he's Carter's cousin" she gave a toothy grin
"So?" I asked confused nothing seemed to make sense it was too much to absorb.
"Did giving birth make you so obtuse? He said he wanted to help me get you two back in tact" she smiled
"I forgot the part where I asked for any of this"
"Oh you didnt I'm doing you a favour girly"
"Favour?" I quirked my eyebrows
"Yes you bloody ungrateful woman"
"I dont want anything to do with him"
"If you didnt have a duplicate of him sleeping in my mother's room I would have understood you"
"You're not going to tell Henry about my son" I threatened her
"It breaks my heart to see that you still cant scare me" she said standing up
"Is this why you called me here?" I asked angrily keeping my voice low and deadly .
"Yes to rekindle things , I was in the paper a week ago" she said proudly
"I dont want any sort of rekindlement with that son of a banana and why were you in the paper?
"Okay first of all as a citizen of England I dont appreciate you calling my former King a banana and second of all I was in the paper because of my encounter with Henry" she squeaked
"What's so special about your encounter that the paper had to include it"
"Have you been listening to anything I was saying ? Hello he's the King's freaking cousin"
"I dont feel like arguing with you right now about Carter or the so-called King William and I'm proud you were in the paper good night"
"Digest the information well through sleep I'll speak with you in the morning" Chloe said hugging me goodnight.
Carter , scratch that William was the King?I mean I had suspected he was socially important somehow maybe a billionaire's son but this was just absurd maybe after sleep I'd wake up and find out this was all a dream I thought then went to sleep.
Tell me this was all a dream. Yet even if he was the king or a president or Neptune I still wasnt going to forgive him so this made no difference. Right?
"Is this him?" She asked with a teary face.
"Yes Nina that's Louis" I replied as she embraced him in a warm hug.
