Chloe hugged the living space out of me.
"I knew you'd come back" she squeaked.
The driver left after removing my bags from the car. I was mentally exhausted.
"Spill!" she yelled once we'd gotten into the house.
"Its a lot" I said.
"Let's go to my room"
▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️
"How did he find you?" That was Chloe's first question.
"I don't even know I just remember seeing him on my doorstep"
"And..." she urged me to continue.
"He kidnapped me and stole away Louis' love from me" I rested on her bed and told her everything.
Approximately One hour later...
"I can't believe your life changed just like that" she snapped her fingers.
"Believe me the change is drastic" I voiced sadly.
"It's not I mean if the King came to me and offered to marry me I would marry him even without knowing him"
"He didn't ask me to marry him Chloe"
"But his mother did and you know the saying , 'what the mother wants the son will do' " she said proudly.
"You just made that up didn't you?"
"I studied arts in my defense it was a practical application of poetry"
"Nothing was poetic about that phrase"
"That is not why we are here , let's move. So did you and William have any advances?" She asked with naughty eyebrows.
"Drop that, I'm worried about my future here" I said frustatedly.
"William is your future girly" she said firmly.
"I don't want him Chloe"
"Then you shouldn't have stopped his supposed marriage with Artemis" she snorted.
"You infuriate me"
"I'm just being honest. Look stop fighting this William loves you" she said and I gulped.
"He doesn't , if he did he wouldn't have left me four years ago"
"Then why do you suppose he hasn't married , why did he look for you?"
"I...I dont know"
"You usually stutter when the truth becomes hard for you to accept"
"Lies"
"I'm being honest, look your son is getting older by each day. Dont ruin this for him , allow him to grow up with both his parents please. Apart from that follow your heart sweet pea" she smiled.
"Sweet pea? Really?"
"Honey bunch" she smiled
"Stop !"
"So what do you say?" She asked seriously.
"About?"
"Your situation"
"I say I want to go back to Seattle"
"And I say I have a lot of convincing to do" she sighed falling asleep next to me.
*****Uncle Max and Aunt Nina as well as Sophie were in Manchester attending an art fair in which Sophia was participating. She was growing famous for her art now.
"Let's go to the beach" Chloe suggested.
"Sure" I accepted. It was hot after all.
One hour later...
"Is that Henry?" I questioned Chloe pointing to the hot looking man approaching us.
"Yes" she gasped.
"I know you still care about him"
"No I don't"
"Yeah and I don't like William" I snickered.
"This is a different situation" she protested.
"I don't see the difference"
"It's very different"
"Enlighten me then" I smiled.
"Henry broke my heart!"
"And William didn't break mine?" I asked sarcastically.
"We both know the stories are not the same"
"How"
"He just dumped me and William left without saying any hurtful words" she hissed .
"Hey ladies" Henry greeted the paparazzi following him as he reached the tiny outdoor bar where we sat sipping on our ram.
"Chloe, you look beautiful" he commented checking her out shamelessly.
"I'm still here" I chimed in.
"And Oliver, you look ... I'd rather not say" he smiled holding ordering a cocktail.
"Do you ladies want drinks?" He asked his dazzling teeth putting ours to shame .
He was devastatingly handsome, but he still couldn't compete with William.
I was thinking about William again. I cussed.
"I want water" I ordered finishing off my ram.
"I want a dry martini" Chloe ordered drinking her ram like a wild cat.
"I see my cousin decided to grant you a small vacation before you rule England" he stated plainly.
"I don't want to rule this country and if you hadn't opened that hole you call a mouth I would not even be here!" I yelled.
"So you expected me to keep quiet and leave my family In the dark?" He asked starting at Chloe though he was talking to me.
Chloe on the other hand looked like she was drinking her worries away.
"I need air" she said and left.
"What ever did you do to my cousin?"I finally got the chance to ask him at first hand.
"I did nothing to her"
"Is that why she spent months, years even weeping over you? Do I really look stupid Henry"
"Considering that you thought running away from the King of England was a smart option I'd say yes . You look stupid" he said rudely.
I decided to ignore him. He could go choke on a pineapple for all I cared
"You are not answering my question Henry what did you say to my cousin that broke her?" I asked once more.
"I have no reason to answer you! Stop being nosy and mind your own business" he said coldly.
"Fine then!" I yelled.
"Leave me alone" he demanded.
"I will!" I knew I didn't like Henry the first time I ever saw him and after conversing with him. I knew I'd never like him.
After all it was his fault I was stuck in the King's life.
I walked away from him to look for Chloe.
He moved away and the paparazzi flooded the path he was taking.
▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️
two days passed with me sleeping , listening to Chloe's words on how I should just shag William already. Her words not mine.
"Oliver I wish I were you" Chloe said walking into the room. Speaking of the devil.
"Why?" I questioned amazed.
"You get to sleep with the King , not the Duke , not a barrister , not a chancellor the goddamn King!" She exclaimed.
"I haven't slept with him Chloe" I said annoyed.
"You haven't!? Then explain how Louis was eloped"
"I haven't slept with William recently"
"Why not. You know what you and I should go shopping today!" She screamed.
"Why?"
"To get you thongs silly , and lingerie and lace underwear" she smiled.
"You're unbearable" I said going back to sleep.
"I'm not now get up"
"Why?So you can abuse me . I wont get up"
"Get up this instant I won't abuse you I'm just honouring the King." She grinned.
"Did you ever fall as a child?" I was concerned about her mental stability.
"No but I heard that your mother once dropped you" she smiled devilishly.
"Goodness May" I called her using her second name.
"Get up Oliver" she ignored what I'd just said.
