♤KAMARI♤
I fall on my bed with a sigh, its been a hell of a long day. I look to my side to see the long gold dress staring right at me evidence that all this is real. Tomorrow is my official engagement to Cameron and I couldn't be more happier (insert sarcasm).
This past week has been filled with preparations for our engagement, the whole castle has been noisy. Ever since the announcement about our engagement ceremony Margaret decided it would be best if I didnt go to school till after the engagement which I happily obliged.
"Garlllllllll" the door burst open and Beatrice and Lilly made an entrance. "Well fantastic" I groaned out. Beatrice jumped on my bed as Lilly placed the bags she came in with "what's that?" I asked.
"Its our dresses and make up items" she said. I sat up and looked at her. She walked towards us and sat down on the bed "turns out the queen wanted you to feel comfortable seeing as she invited us to stay with you for a sleepover" Beatrice said.
I let out a sigh as I stared down at my hands, the king and queen have been so nice to me and in as much as I'd like to just like to screw this up I can't.
I laid back down as Beatrice and Lilly wrapped their arms around me "it'll be fine kam" Lilly said squeezing my arm and I nodded. I can't help but wonder how Cameron feels about all these.
I heard a knock on the door and I got up to open it to see Cameron staring at me "um... Can I talk to you?" He asked and I nodded stepping outside my room and closing the door.
He starter walking towards a place I know not, even though I've been here for probably more than a month I've not still gotten a hang of this castle.
Cameron stopped in front of a door and opened it to reveal a very beautiful garden, a gasp involuntarily escapes my lips and Cameron looked back at me in amusement.
Cameron walked over towards the grass and sat down and I did the same "I'm taking you liked the garden?" Cameron asked and I nodded "its beautiful" I said staring at the roses of different colors "yeah very beautiful" Cameron added.
I turned to look at him to see him already staring at me he cleared his throat and quickly looked away "I just wanted to talk to you about the um... The engagement" he said and I felt my heart skip a beat.
"What about it?" I asked looking away from him "I'm pretty sure you're upset about it and you might hate me because of it hell if I were in your shoes I'd probably hate me" he said and I turned to look at him to see him staring at the flowers.
Was I supposed to say anything? If I was then what was I supposed to say? "But I just hope that...." He said staring back at me "you don't" he said.
I stared at him speechless "I won't" I replied even before my brain could process it. He looked up at me immediately almost as if he couldn't believe what he just heard.
I smile at him in reassurance and he let's out a breath of relief "well, that went..... Nicer than I expected" he said and I let out a laugh all the tension of the engagement leaving me.
I leaned closer to him "so tell me how did you expect it to go?" I asked "more like you...."he turns to face me and pauses when he notices our close proximity.
I nod urging him to continue, he clears his throat and looks away from me "I expected you to yell at me or something" he said and I laughed.
I leaned back and looked away from him but I could feel his gaze on the side of my face "yeah you're definitely right the Kamari of before would have definitely done that" I said.
"Um... So how do you feel about tomorrow?" He asked with a wince and I chuckled at his expression "what can I say? It wasn't exactly in my agenda to get engaged in high school" I said.
I looked back at him to see him staring at me "I guess now I look at it, it doesn't sound that bad" I said in a low voice almost a whisper.
"I know righttt?" He said dragging the 'right' and I had a feeling he wasn't done with his speech "I mean who can say no to this awesome package" he said gesturing to himself and I stared at him for sometime before I lost it.
I burst out laughing "you can never stop being cocky, now can you?" I said wiping the non existent tears.
He gasped "but I'm being serious here" he said feigning hurt. I punched his arm with a laugh "yeah yeah keep telling yourself that" I said.
"I like this" he said and I stared at him confused "what?" I asked "the you of now" he said looking at me.
I let out a giggle "what do you mean the me of now? I've always been the same" I said smiling. He shook his head 'no'
I cocked a brow at him a questioning manner "you smile a lot now than in the past" he said and I nodded "true" I replied.
He was right, when I came here I was always so grumpy because of the fact that my parents had just sold me out without my consent and that I had to stay under the same roof with a cranky Cameron.
How he noticed that I have no idea, I sighed and looked up I guess I became more happy when I decided to let go of the grudge I had for my parents.
I smiled at the memory "you're prettier when you smile" I heard him say I looked at him to see him staring at the roses. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa okay like what was that? Did I just hear him correctly?
I fanned myself was it just me or did the atmosphere become hotter?
