Royal Deception - Chapter 42: Chapter 42

"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..e 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.
*****Two apologies and an oath not to talk about my sex life ever again later that day the Queen and Eleanor finally got me in the kitchen.
I wasn't excited about the idea of learning how to cook but Eleanor and her mother had convinced me to try it.
And after I'd learnt how to cook zucchini I decided to give cooking a more serious approach. They taught me how to make crunchy onions ,sponge cake , white sauce and their new excuse was that I had to do this for the sake of Louis.
So that I wouldn't starve him.
I was tired but the Queen and her daughter just had to pull the red card on me and requested that I make dinner.
Aren't royal people supposed to have servants that do that? I could see the servants but when I asked one of them why they weren't making dinner for the royal family the servant said the Queen had given strict orders that I had to prepare dinner tonight.
Shall I repeat : I HAD TO MAKE THE MEAL. They knew how tired I was . Was this a punishment for rejecting their son? I wondered. While I was here suffering they had taken Louis for horse riding lessons to some fancy ranch near the palace.
Great.
I was busy cutting the last green pea on the wooden board when I accidentally cut my finger. My tiniest finger , yes the famous pinkie. And sweet pickles it was painful.
Why do small cuts annoyingly hurt? Don't answer that.
I could feel the blood gushing out now. But atleast I'd finished making all the meals. I celebrated In my mind.
I pressed onto my finger fighting the urge to cry.
"You're bleeding" his voice startled me and I turned only to face William looking drop dead gorgeous in casual clothes.
"You startled me" I stated
"You're bleeding what happened?" He asked fully concerned moving towards me ignoring what I'd just said.
"It's just a small cut" I shrugged.
He moved forward and in a swift second he pulled my finger into his mouth.
I gasped.
He looked down to me as the heat from his mouth radiated off my whole body. Goodness I needed to get myself together.
I tried to pull my finger out of his sexy mouth but he wouldn't budge so I did what any classic woman would have done.
I bit him.
"Christ!" He yelled.
"You bit me?" He asked instead of stated
"I thought my mother and Eleanor were grooming you"
"I had to I did not have a choice"
"There are many ways to make a man oblige to what you want Oliver" he said with naughty eyes.
"You pervert" I pushed him away.
He seemed to be looking for something until I found him bringing the first aid kit.
"You're so extra" I laughed as he put a band-aid on my finger.
"Are you busy?" He asked putting his hands into his short pockets.
"No" I replied honestly.
"Come with me"
"I'll pass"
"Come with me"
"I said I'll pass"
"Come with me" he repeated again.
"Where"
"Progress" he said smiling grabbing my hand.
"You are very beautiful" he commented once we'd gotten outside.
I didnt react.
"I have to tell you something"
"Wait William before you say anything I have a question" I said.
"What?" He asked hurriedly.
"Why where there no pictures of you on the internet? Why was your identity so secretive before you took the throne?" I had been meaning to ask after I did a bit of research concerning him a day ago.
He flinched a bit and a wave of pain passed his eyes but it was quickly gone.
"I understand if you don't want to tell me" I explained.
"No it is fine I will tell you" he paused and held my hand. I pulled away but he didnt seem phased at all.
"I had a twin-"
"You a twin!" I exclaimed covering my mouth. Wait he said had?had?.
"Stop interrupting. His name was George and when we were five years old we were abducted by Greek men who wanted Revenge from my late fathe...r" he stuttered.
I felt so sad seeing him like that and I badly didnt want to but sue me I couldn't help it.
I pulled his hand into mine and intertwined our fingers.
Upon squeezing his hand passionately he continued with his story.
"My father was phoned and we were starved , for days. George was asthmatic and it so happened that this day the men decided to frighten us greatly. They held him upside down and he freaked out , got into an attack and..." he stopped closing his eyes.
"I had left his inhaler back home before the kidnap. I watched him turn blue with loss of air.i watched him die it was my fault" he said still closing his eyes.
"No it was not" I muttered tracing my fingers on his closed eyes.
"Since then my parents where very protective of me. They wanted me to lead a private life." He kept quiet for ages. Rapping his arms around me.
"I am sorry" I whispered hugging him back.
We stayed like that for a while.
"I missed you more than you can ever imagine" He mumbled and I didn't react.
At this point my cheeks deserved an award.
"Are you even listening to me" he asked pulling me futher to his chest.
He stared down to me . I glanced sideways and we walked in silence.
"There is no other woman for me but you" he continued.
"If you were my hair I would never cut it" He continued.
"If you were Thursday I would want everyday to be Thursday" he continued.
"If you were food I would never stop eating"
"William please stop , I can't believe you're this cheesy" I finally spoke.
"You finally spoke" he smiled and I realised that he'd tricked me.
"I called you out so that we would talk"
"There's nothing to talk about"
"I have things that I have to talk about with you" he admitted.
"I don't have time for this William , I'm waiting for you to get tired of me and send me back to Seattle with my son" I confessed what was on my mind.
"That is a shame" he paused walking closer ,closing the distance that was between us"...because I will never get tired of you sweetheart"
His use of endearment broke my toughness and I blushed. Geez couldn't I just control myself.
"I like it , scratch that I love it when you blush" he smiled holding me under his gaze lifting my chin.
"William... no" I panted
"Do not fight me you know you can not win this" he smiled looking down to me and I thought he was about to kiss me but instead he hugged me and kissed my hair.
My heart felt warm. But I knew I had to stay away from him. He was going to hurt me again if I let him in.
"I will give you time if that is what you want but do not push me away you are here to stay. Beautiful" he said softly.
