Chapter 14

Finally there was a banquet where I wasn't bored. Jon was being my partner for the evening and we made the most out of it.

"Ach. I would love to see London without all the fuss around. You know like a normal person." He said as we were sitting at the table at the banquet waiting for our fathers to make their speeches.

"You can come whenever you want. We can try and make some tour without all the journalists." I said to him.

"That would be great." He smiled at me. "Oh look." He said pointing inconspicuously at his father who was about to make a speech. He was impersonating him making it very hard for me not to laugh during his monologue. And that's how it was during the whole evening.

"Well it was really nice to meet you again Ems. I must admit your hair grew up pretty nice." Jon said making me laugh when it was time for the Swedish royal family to leave. We were all standing at the courtyard saying good bye to them.

"Thank you. And you should probably get a haircut. You don't want to look like a lady." I said to him making him to smile.

"It was nice to finally meet someone who understands growing up in the spotlight and expectations it brings on them." He said and I laughed knowingly.

"And remember if you will want to get out of these crazy world for a while you are welcome in Stockholm in our crazy world." He said to me secretly.

"You know I have never been there. I will definitely think about that. Thank you." I replied and he pulled me into a bear hug breaking the protocol.

"And you didn't wanted to spend time with him." Eva said to me as we were walking inside of the palace after the good byes.

"I must admit Philip was right. He is a nice guy." I replied.

"Is there a new royal couple on the sight?" Emily asked me and I had to laugh.

"God no. We just became a really good friends." I said to them earning some doubtful stares from the two of them.

"Now if you excuse me I have to run." I said looking at my watch. I was already late for work. Jessica will scold me for this as if I wasn't getting on her nerves already.

And I was right. The moment I walked into the studio Jessica bolted at me with her usual comments of me being late. Today she was acting weird tough. She was starring at me suspiciously the whole day besides giving me the usual load of orders for the new materials she was not capable to do when I wasn't here.

"Sarah tomorrow you will accompany me to the Garment Hotel. They are interested in our services and I want you to go with me." Amanda said at the end of the shift when I was preparing to leave.

"Really?" I asked her excited.

"Sure. Be ready. I don't know when we will finish. See you tomorrow girls." She said and left the studio. I was always happy when she took me into the field. I loved it. It was my time for creativity.

"I don't understand it." I heard Jessica. I looked at her angry face. "Half of the time you are not even here and she takes you instead of me." She said pissed off. "What does she sees in you ha?" she asked me coming to me closer.

"Well maybe she sees that I try to do my job as best as I can and don't spend my time on the internet and the phone like you." I finally replied already pissed at her for always pitying herself. She looked at me surprised at my audacity to tell the truth.

"Or maybe your parents are paying for your time being here." She said accusingly earning a surprise look from my side.

"What? Where the hell did you get that from?" I asked her amused.

"Aw I saw you getting into that black luxurious SUV. You will not fool me Sarah. I know something is not right with you." She said leaving me nervous.

"You know my friend is studying at the same school you claim to also study at. I wasn't even surprised when she told me she doesn't know who you are or there are no special courses you claim to be attending." She said and my amused smile froze when she came closer to me.

"Who are you?" she asked me starring at me trying to figure me out.

"You are crazy." I told her putting on my coat. "I told you I have special schedule. Not every student knows about that. Try to think about your own life and don't put your nose into somebody else's." I told her. She gave me a stern look.

"I will figure that out." She said and stormed out of the studio.

Damn it. This is not going to be easy. There is a huge possibility she will find the truth. Maybe I should start to look at some other studios in London. But this one is the best. I love it here. I learned so much and Amanda started to trust my opinions and giving me more opportunities. I left the studio and Tom was already waiting for me outside. I jumped into the car not even bothering to argue about our deal. I rested my head on the back of the seat thinking what should I do. I saw Tom's worried looks but he didn't said anything during the whole ride home.

My mobile phone started to ring when I walked out of the shower wrapped only in my bathrobe. I hurried to pick it up looking at the screen my mood immediately lifted.

"Hey handsome." I answered jumping on the bed.

"Handsome? I hope you know who is calling to you princess." I heard James on the other side.

"Hmm wait for a second I have to look at the caller ID I think I might have made a mistake." I replied waiting for a second. "Nope. It's the right one." I answered making him laugh.

"Good. I am glad to hear that." He said. "How was your day?" he asked me making me to take a deep breath. "That bad?" he asked me.

"It's a long story I guess." I told him my fingers playing with a straw of my wet hair.

"How about you tell me all about it tonight? I want to take you on the date that I promised." He said.

"Okay. When?" I asked him.

"Let's say now?" he said and I heard a knock on my entrance door making me jump from surprise. I don't get any visitors here. No one gets to the door without getting through the security at the gate and without my permission.

"Is that you?" I asked him.

"I don't know. I guess you have to open the door to find out." He said and I walked downstairs to the door sure it was him. I opened the door and a huge bouquet of red roses was hiding the man of my dreams behind it. He peeked out with a huge smile.

"I hope you like roses." He said and I nodded letting him inside.

"I do." I replied when he almost left me speechless. "They're beautiful. How did you get here?" I asked him.

"I know a secret entrance." He said bragging. He took a look at me bending his head to the side.

"Don't tell me you are totally naked under that robe." He said coming closer to me reminding me I just walked out of the shower.

"Why?" I asked him flirting as much as I could. He reached for me placing his hands on my waist pulling me closer to him. His eyes piercing mine.

"Because I want this date to be perfect and not starting it in the bed." He said brushing his lips on mine softly making me dizzy.

"Okay than I am not." I replied swallowing hardly. He closed his eyes and smiled.

"I am going to act like I believe you." He said and brushed his lips on mine again. "As much as I hate to say it go get some comfortable clothes on. I will better wait here or I will lose control." He said releasing me. I run upstairs and quickly dried my hair and made my makeup. I put on a white woolen sweater, jeans and boots. I took my coat and run downstairs where James was impatiently waiting for me. Only now I realized he had a black leather jacket together with black jeans and boots. He reached his hand to me at the last stair taking me into his arms. Leaning down to kiss me.

"Are you ready?" he asked me.

"But I warn you. I think we will not leave without my security." I replied to him and he laughed.

"I know my ways around." He said sheepishly leading me outside to the gardens.

"Where are we going?" I asked him when we were walking through the dark gardens near the trees avoiding all the cameras and security.

"You will find out." He said.

"We will get caught." I said and he just shook his head.

"Don't worry." He replied.

We came to the wall filled with green leafs and he stopped. He looked at me and shifted a huge rock which was leaning on it. He tilted the green leafs revealing a big hole in the wall. I looked at him shocked as he was smiling at me.

"How on earth did you find this?" I asked him open mouthed.

"Don't tell your brother I told you. This was our secret door when we were sneaking out to the parties." He said.

"How come he never told me about this? I could have used it so many times." I said annoyed at my brothers secret and James laughed.

"I bet he wouldn't allow you to go a minute without the security. Your brothers are too protective of you." He said.

"Philip knows about this secret hole too?" I asked him and he bit into his lip closing his eyes. "How do you think he was sneaking out to Emily's house? Or sneaking Emily in?" He asked me.

"Even Emily?" I asked with my eyes wide.

"You know what let's just go." He said nervously and pointed at the hole. I walked through it appearing in a dark small cold den I guess. He lit up his phone and put a key into some steal door. It opened with a screech. He looked around and let me out of there walking into bush.

"This way." He said spreading the lops and we finally walked into a dark street.

"I can't believe they didn't tell me." I said as he laughed and took my hand leading me few meters to the end of the street.

"Have you ever ride on a motorbike?" he asked me when we stopped near black fancy looking motorbike.

"No." I replied surprised and excited at the same time.

"Well there is a first time for everything." He said taking a black helmet from the bike and putting it on my head gently.

"There. It suits you." He said and put a sweet kiss on my lips. He got on the bike and put on his helmet.

"Come on my princess. Your knight on the black motorbike is ready." He said winking at me starting the engine.
