Chapter Four- The Proposal
With a hand on her door she swallowed her fear and opened the door .
Today was another day of princess , a nice rose gold dress that went down to her mid-calves and a pair of creamer colored heels.
She walked down the stairs to the car and sat next to her cousin , who was fussing over her hair still.
"Stop it !" Katherine moved her hands and Clara smiled .
The door opened and in came Jack's right hand man and then the prince himself .
Katherine looked at him , he was wearing a suit jacket this time but still was chewing gum and wearing ray bans .
She crossed her legs and arms over her chest then looked out the window .
Clara saw jack smirk and then pull out his phone . "So..." the man said "it's a wonderful day for an outing isn't it ?"
"Oh it is !" Clara replied quickly "I'm Clara "
"Davey" they shook hands and both looked at their side to see their royalty distracted.
"You know this is one of the most beautiful fountains ... it's sure wonderful that your taking Katherine there" Davey said .
"I'm not taking her , we're being forced to do this" jack replied not looking up from his cell phone .
The car stopped and then Clara fixed Katherine's hair one more time while Davey took Jack's gum into a wrapper.

They were fake strolling through the park , Davey and Clara near by to make sure they don't kill each other .
They stopped under a cherry tree and Katherine and Jack sat down on the white stoned bench .
He pretend to mumbled to her for a bit and then got on knee , he opened the ring box and she faked a smile while saying yes.
She hugged him and they walked back to their car , the second they were away from the public's eye they untangled themselves from each other and both went in the limousine, slamming the door.
"A love story teenage girls will drool over" Davey said sarcastically.
Clara laughed and shook her head then they entered the car with the two royals.

Katherine was sitting in the library with her hands wound up in a good book .
Her flats had been kicked off and her large sweater swallowed her whole while her legging gave her warmth.
"May I see the ring?" He father asked . She didn't look up from her book as she just shoved her left hand in his face .
A beautiful diamond rested in sliver on her slim finger . "You know you tomorrow you start planning this ... it will be such a marvelous day for you"
"Sure dad" she said flipping the page of the book .
"Katherine dear ... I know you're not thrilled , but your mother wasn't when she agreed to marry me and I wasn't happy either"
"I know it's my duty , Clara and Darcy already gave me the speech dad "
"I'm just saying I'm here if you need to talk "
"Alright... can I finish my book?" She asked .
"Yes ... love you dear"
"Same dad bye" she said and he walked out of the library to leave her be.
About three hours later and a box of tissues from the main character's death she was hungry and she knew dinner had already passed.
She smirked to herself and snuck down to the kitchen to make herself a bowl of ice cream .
She opened the door and sunk around in the dark to grab the vanilla ice cream from the freezer shelf .
She scooped two spoonfuls into her bowl and grabbed the chocolate sauce to pour over when she bumped into someone .
She saw Jack with a bottle of coke in his hands and a bag of chips . "What are you doing down here ?" He asked.
"Making ice cream ... what are you doing ?" She asked crossing her arms over her chest.
"... ugh fine ... I'm watching the game and I needed a snack ... Davey is busy doing what Davey's do I came to get it myself" he told her and walked past her .
"Which game ?" She asked .
"Mets versus the Yankees ... Yankees are sure to win " he said .
"Well we have one thing in common" she said and poured the sprinkles on her ice cream.
"What ?" Jack asked .
"The Yankees ... they're my team too... dad thinks the Cubs are the best but it's the Yankees ..." she replied popping a spoon in her bowl.
"Huh... didn't peg you for a sports fan ... or vanilla ice cream"
"Learn something new everyday fiancé " she said and walked out of the kitchen with her ice cream.
