“I want to be with you and I don’t want us to be together without a label, I would like for you to be my girlfriend, Soph, I want to be a normal thirty-plus-old man with you, not the king or any royal personal, just your man,”He continued. He was doing this on purpose, he was setting her up with the way he spoke, setting her up by making her believe the impossible might be possible. “Will be my girlfriend, pretty Sophie?”He asked with a smile that sent her heart into overdrive. “I don’t know how to be the king’s girlfriend,” She said. “Just be Lancelot’s girlfriend,”he urged, she couldn’t bring herself to say no, not when he was looking at her like that. “Yes, I will be your girlfriend,”She said and he let go of her hands and did a little dramatic happy dance that made her laugh. He was so different with her now, all the other images of him that she had were completely forgotten, in their place was a loving man that she wanted to keep with her forever. “Good, now, will my gi
Lance woke up to Sophie sleeping in his arms, he couldn’t help the smile that crippled to his lips. Just watching her sleep made him feel so at peace, Lance knew for a fact that he was in big trouble with the woman sleeping beside him. She didn’t even need to do anything to get his attention, all he could see was her and nothing else, being with her put his mind at ease and it wasn’t just about the sex, it was her, she was good for him and he had every intention of keeping her with him for a long time and he made sure she was aware of that fact. He wasn’t about to let her go when doing that would be like shooting himself. When spoke to the princess yesterday, he couldn’t count the number of times they had talked about her and then the princess told him that he was whipped for her and pointed out how his smile grew when he mentioned her name, he couldn’t even deny it. She had him in a chokehold and there was nothing he could do about it. “Stop looking at me like that, Your Majesty,”
Lance frowned when his mind went back to how things had ended with Sophie this morning, he couldn’t figure out why something as small and simple as that could be the reason they had their first couple fight when they officially became a couple less than ten hours earlier. He wanted to fix things so fast and wished the meeting he was in would end fast. But he knew that even if the meeting ended, he still had other meetings to attend before he could see her again. His eyes went to Patrick and saw him watching him with a questioning look on his face, he turned away and concentrated on the meeting. He hated visual meetings so much but that seemed to be the trend now and there was nothing he could do to change that. Everyone in the world was doing it so he had to do it too. After two long agonizing hours, the meeting finally came to an end, not like he got most of the things that were said. It was at times like this that he was happy he had Patrick as his right-hand man because he always
“Wait, what?”He let out. He came at the right time because he hated to think that she would have been alone if Patrick had not told him to go talk to her.“The baby, I lost my baby,”She broke down, he looked at her in shock, why would she think that? “Darling, Sophie? Stop crying please and tell me what is going on, why would you think you lost your baby?”Lance asked in fear, that was not what he expected her to say, it was worst. Now he wished she was crying because of their fight because that would be easy to fix, not the baby, she couldn’t lose the baby, it would break her and he didn’t want that. It has to be some kind of mistake or she was just overthinking. “Hey, baby, calm down and talk to me; why do you think you lost the baby,”He asked, looking around her for anything that would have given her that thought, surely there had to be something that triggered it. He didn’t find anything that would indicate that she did. She refused to answer his questions. He didn’t even kno
The ride to the hospital was a very hard one, Sophie refused to stop crying so he gave up trying to make her stop and instead just patted her back continuously. Patrick couldn’t come with them because he had to attend meetings on his behalf. “My king, we are almost there, we will be the ones to take her in,”One of the guards said from the front of the car and Lance glared at him. Why would he let them take her when he was in the car with her? “Says who?”He asked in an irritated voice. “Sorry my king, that’s what your lord Patrick said,”He told him. He should have known that the crazy man would give some unneeded advice when he didn’t try to stop him from getting in the car with her. “There will be no need for that, if I can’t take her in why would I be here? We are entering through the private entrance are we not?”He asked. If they were talking because of the press finding out then they should know that he didn’t care. “Yes, my king, I am sorry,”The guard said and Lance igno
Sophie lowered her gaze as she walked with Lance towards his chamber, she had asked him to let her go to the emerald house when they arrived back at the palace but he refused and told her that she had to deal with him for the next couple of days as he had no plans of leaving her on her own there. He was holding her so close with so many people around and he didn’t even look like he cared, he paused when they got close to his door and collected the bag that contained the drugs and vitamins that she was given at the hospital from the guard that held it and dismissed them. He led her into the room and closed the door behind them. “Are we going to be on the news? Those photos that were taken today, will be published?”Sophie asked. When they were alone in the room. She knew it was her fault that they got exposed to the public and now she was scared that it might lead to a ruckus in the kingdom and expose him to many talks that he might not be ready to handle. “Don’t worry yourself about
Lance already knew he was going to get an earful from Patrick before he even opened the door to his office. He touched his ears with both hands like a kid ready to face his dad after doing something wrong, the crazy man can be scary sometimes. Once he opened the door, the first thing that greeted him was a dead glare. “Look who finally showed up,”Patrick said as he got up and clapped. “Why are you acting like I did something wrong?”He asked and went to take his seat, he was so tired. He imagined and more tried Sophie would be, she was the one who went through all the emotional stress. “You didn’t do anything wrong?”“No, I didn’t, I took my woman to the hospital as she was doing fine. How is that doing something wrong,”He asked. “Right, I wish that was all you did, I gave a simple and clear instruction and you just had to do what you wanted at the moment without thinking, I am sure if you listened to me, your woman would still have gotten the medical aid that she needed. I made
“I can actually walk on my own and I am not in pain,”She said in protest. “Whatever,”He responded and walked to the bed with her in his arms. He dropped her on the bed and got in next to her. She got out of bed immediately after he got in. “I got to shower,”She told him and walked towards his restroom, at least she didn’t try to go back to the emerald house. “Can I join you?”He called after her. “No,”She replied firmly. He smiled and let her do her thing. He freshened up too after she was done and before long, they were back together in bed. “So? What happened? Are we going to be on the news?”She asked as they laid on the bed. “Not really, Patrick will fix everything, don’t worry about it,”He said. he was sure Patrick would make sure none of the photos taken earlier would be published. The press would only be getting a statement and that’s it. Even if someone ends up uploading photos, they will be taken down before they go viral, he had people for those kinds of things so
