(Picture of Prince Jon and Princess Emma)

Hello my lovely readers. I hope you will like this chapter. It is a bit longer then the last ones.

Chapter 13

"Good evening Princess." I heard James's sexy voice on the other side of the line when I picked up my cell phone making me immediately smile from ear to ear.

"Good evening Jimie." I replied flirtatiously as I was walking through the halls of Buckingham Palace after the dinner with my father.

"How was your day?" He asked me.

"Busy." I breathed out tired.

"What would you say to a date tonight?" he asked me hopefully.

"Well if it was only up to me I would say hell yeah. But I am just walking to the staff meeting and dress fitting for tomorrows visit of the King of Sweden. And there is no chance of saving me from this." I said and I heard him to sigh.

"I was so excited to see you tonight." He said making my heart jump. "Does that mean I'm not going to see you even tomorrow?" he asked me.

"I am afraid not." I replied realizing I will not see him for at least two days and I was being already nervous about that? Will he wait for me? Or will he be in another womens panties the minute I can't be there for him?

"Well what can I do? I know you have some duties. Rain check it is then." He said to me and I smiled at the thought of seeing him again as I came to the office door.

"Good night my princess." He said to me.

"Good night." I replied hesitating to hung up for a while when I heard he was still on the phone.

"Your highness we have been waiting for you." Charles said making me jump from surprise as he opened the door to the office and I quickly put down the phone.

We went through the entire tomorrows plan from the morning welcoming to the evening banquet at the ball room. It was three hour meeting with the dress fitting. We chose three dresses which I will be wearing tomorrow. One for the greeting and the official stuff, one for the museum and London tour with Prince Jon as my father insisted and a ball gown for the evening banquet.

I spend the night in Buckingham Palace as there was no point in going back home to the Kensington but the rest of the family came there in the morning.

"I heard you are going to be making a company to Prince Jon today." Emily said to me as we were already waiting on the courtyard of the Palace. We were standing in the line next to each other as the convoy with the Swedish royal family was already driving inside.

"Apparently I am. Dear Daddy didn't give me another choice." I replied looking at my fathers back as he was in front of us waiting to greet the King.

"So father is being a matchmaker again?" Henry asked frowning at him too.

"Why aren't you so pleased? Jon is a really nice guy. And who knows maybe you will like him." Philip said and me and Henry turned to look at him and gave him a death glare. Certainly he never had the problem with father trying to play matchmaker with him. He had Emily.

The convoy stopped in front of the red carpet and our father walked to greet the king Frederick who walked out of the car. Then the rest of the Swedish royal family followed them and they finally came to us. There was official greeting with them with all the press taking pictures and as I was informed it was also streaming live. I mean who would watch a meeting of two families greeting each other?

Then the rest of the oficialities were placed inside of the palace. After the lunch I went to change into my second outfit for the day and I quickly took a sneak at my cellphone. There were three messages from James and I felt my heart shuttle with excitement.

"Hello princess. I hope you had a good beaty sleep which every lady need." was his first message and I was grinning from ear to ear.

"I am quoting you. It's not like you need some beauty sleep. You are already perfect." Was the second one and I laughed trying to imagine him nervous thinking he offended me.

"I got a glimpse of you in the news. You look beautiful. I am already planning our second date." Was the third one. Gosh I miss him already.

"Emma we have to go. Prince Jon is already waiting for you." Tom knocked on my door.

"I am coming." I replied and quickly replied to his messages.

"It is a boring day. Can't wait for the date too." I wrote pressed send and I quickly walked out of my room.

"I am sorry you had to wait for me." I told to Prince Jon who was waiting for me in the hall sitting on the massive chair.

"Ok." He replied and went out to the car without any other word. He looked like he was not very pleased to be here. I mean I don't like some of our official events too but I am not behaving like a bitch for everyone to see I would better be somewhere else. I looked at Tom and he just shrug. So I followed Jon outside into prepared car with a convoy of police officers on their motorbikes in front of it and behind it too.

"How do you like your trip so far?" I asked him as we were already driving out of the palace trying to be polite even though he was acting as an ass.

"Nah. I would rather be at home. I don't like this kind of official visits. I can't just go on my own and explore the city." He said disgusted.

"Tell me about it." I murmured looking out the window hoping this official visit to be finally over and have some alone time with James.

"I am sorry." He suddenly said after a while of uncomfortable silence and I looked at him surprised. "I didn't realize. I guess you are at the same position as I am." he was looking at me with guilt.

"Yes I am." I replied and he smiled for the first time today.

"Can I be honest with you?" he asked me.

"Please." I replied curious about what he wants to say hoping to lighten the mood.

"I hope you don't get offended. I think my father and yours too wanted me to join in today because they were secretly hoping we would start dating. But honestly I am really not looking for someone right now and I hope you didn't think so too." He said making my eyes pop with his honesty and I started to laugh out loud. Of course they were hoping because they don't have any better thing to do. He was looking at me surprised at my outburst.

"I am sure they did." I said when I finally stopped laughing. "But I can assure you I don't want to hook up with you." I said laughing. "No offense." I quickly added and he breathed out a heavy breath of relief.

"Well, I am glad we got that out." He said smiling at me.

"What would you say if we forget that we have to be on our official duty and let's enjoy the visit instead for a change." I said to him.

"I agree." He replied smiling at me with his charming smile. I am sure he has a lot of ladies back in his country falling down to his knees wanting to please him in so many ways.

We got out of the car at the museum. There were a lot of journalists waiting for us, taking pictures and shooting their questions at us. We quickly passed near them and entered the museum.

"This looks interesting." He said looking at one of the paintings. We were walking through the halls of the Modern Art section. The painting really was interesting. There was a man who looked very sad and behind him was a shadow of a woman. You could really feel the sorrow of the man looking at the painting thoroughly. Probably he lost her and the shadow could represent her still being present in his heart.

"It's beautiful." I said looking at it. "I love the style of the artist." I said.

"Who painted this?" Jon asked me and I looked at the sign below the painting.

"Leo LeMair." I read it out loud thinking for a while. The surname was familiar.

"LeMair. Like the hotels?" Jon asked me.

"I don't know. Probably." I replied thinking that I must look up the artist. The painting is only one year old so he is probably still working. I would like to have some painting from him.

"Was visiting the museum your idea?" I asked Jon as we were walking through the halls looking at the rest of the paintings and he grimaced.

"Okay I take it as no." I laughed and he hesitated.

"I will tell you the true but you can't laugh." He said stopping at the middle of the hall.

"I promise I will not laugh." I said to him holding my hand up. He waited for a while hesitating to tell me the truth.

"I would rather see the Harry Potter studios." He said seriously and I was looking at him surprised before I burst out laughing.

"You promised." He said narrowing his eyes at me but amused from my outburst.

"I am sorry." I said between my laughs as he was looking at me and started to laugh too.

"I never thought I would hear something like this from a Crown Prince." I said finally calmed down.

"Well I like to brake the cliché." He said smugly.

"How old are you?" I asked him again laughing as he was giving me a death glare.

"What does age have to do with this?" he asked me annoyed.

"Nothing. Totally nothing. I know Harry Potter has simply no limits for age." I said.

"I am twenty eight just for your information." He replied folding his arms on his chest.

"Don't get me wrong. I love Harry Potter too. I grew up reading those books. And I really don't understand why are we actually still here?" I said and he raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Come on. Let's go there." I said to him and I started to walk to the exit.

"Wait we can't. We are on formal visit." He said following me.

"Don't worry. We can tell it was my idea. We don't want to break your reputation your highness." I told him and he laughed shaking his head.

"You owe me." I said to him. I informed our security about our change of plans and we drove off to the studios.

We had a lot of fun together. We went through so many attractions. Our security was very tight and didn't allow anyone to take pictures. They were in safe distance from us. Even the security. At least for this time we had some privacy.

We ate a lot of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans laughing when one of us got the nasty ones feeling like kids again. We chatted about our first meeting when we were kids. He was laughing at my haircut at that time. I didn't remember it so he googled it and found the pictures from twenty years ago. I must admit I looked terrible. The visit was just few weeks after the incident which was the reason for that haircut. James put his chewing gum into my hair. Henry and James were trying to get it out but they couldn't so Henry took a scissors and cut them off making me look like a boy.

"What would you be doing if you were not a Princess?" Jon asked me as we were walking through the Diagon Alley.

"I would be Interior Designer." I told him confidently.

"Nice." He said taking a bite from some candy we bought in the Weasleys Wizard Wheezes.

"What about you? What would you be if you weren't to become the next King of Sweden?" I asked him and he was thinking for a while.

"I love fast cars. So probably a driver. Formula 1 or some rally. But with me being the next in line I am forbidden to compete." He said sadly. "But I will be honest with you. I sneak out sometimes and get some adrenaline rush so my father doesn't know." He said and I was thinking I am not the only one going behind fathers back.

"What about girls? Is there some special someone?" I asked him.

"Nope not currently. I am enjoying my single status." He said smugly.

"I don't doubt it." I smiled at him.

"How about you Ems?" he asked me and he got me thinking. Am I going to tell him about me and James? I mean I can't tell about us to my sisters-in-law. They would be freaking out. But I think I can trust Jon. He really is a great guy. I don't think he would tell someone else. And maybe I can get some advice from him.

"Okay. Do you remember you owe me? And I am not going to tell anyone you so desperately wanted to come here?" I asked him and he laughed.

"I do." He said.

"So you can't tell this to anyone." I said and he made a gesture zipping his mouth.

"There is someone." I finally said and he smiled excited.

"How long are you together? Who is it? Do I know him? Do you love him? What does he do? Tell me everything." He spilled so many questions at me at the same time.

"Slow down." I said and I told him everything. I told him what happened at my eighteenth birthday and what happened now. I told him about my fears of him sleeping with other women while being still with me.

"Do you think I am being an idiot trying it one more time with him?" I asked him and he was thinking.

"When you don't try you will never know. And from what you told me if he was only after shagging with you and not having a relationship with you he wouldn't be trying so hard. You already slept with him." He said. "So no. I don't think you are being an idiot." He said and I smiled at him happy I finally told somebody about us.

"But if he won't keep his bird in his pants and breaks your heart again I am going to kick his ass." He said making me burst out laughing.

The security interrupted us informing us about our schedule for today and we had to return to the Palace for the evening banquet. It was time to get formal again.
