Starting Again and Falling For Him Chapter 124
Pearl woke up in her room, wrapped in a towel, her hair still damp. She remembered leaving the pool and wrapping the towel around her and excusing herself to bed. Fi and Louis had already went to their room and the rest of them were close to passing out as well. She remembered Erik coming into her room and lying next to her, bringing her into his arms and telling her how sorry he was about what she had found out. She told him she didn't want to talk about it or think about it and fell asleep. Good god, a prince and a gentleman, what's next? A spell from witch and a white horse?She laughed out loud to herself. She put on some clean clothes and washed her face, putting on a little bit of makeup to make her not look hung over and managed to her a brush through her hair. She walked to the kitchen and found Erik there, having coffee with the maid, reading the paper. "Well well well, if it isn't the Islay scotch loving, Olympic canon ball champion herself. I'll need a proper autograph" Erik

"Well, are we going or not?" Pearl asked, finding Erik and Auggie at the door. Auggie looked a little rough and she saw that the maid had made him a large coffee to go. "Forgive me. I don't mean to stare. In that perfectly pretentious polo match getup, you look absolutely adorable." Erik smiled and led her to the car. "Thank you?" Pearl said, getting in. "Thank you for coming." Auggie said. The ride to Rome was about 3 hours long. They stopped for brunch at a small cafe on the way. "Ugh. I never drink like that. I was absolutely trollied last night. I blame you both." Auggie snarled. "You sound pathetic. You didn't seem too miffed when I found you in the pool house this morning with two girls. One with her knickers on and one without." Erik slugged him in the arm. "I was a perfect gentleman." Auggie said, defending himself. "I just hope I'm not too knackered to play today. I'm afraid if I run too hard I'll chunder up this brunch torte and mum will have my arse." The way he said

"This is great! Who knew polo was so intense?" Pearl said to Erik. They had a private area with a table and chairs on the lawn with a perfect view of everything. "Your brother is really good." Pearl said. "He's good at everything. He's always been the good brother. I am positive my family wishes he was the elder brother and next in line." Erik said. Pearl saw the look in his eyes and recognized it well. Self loathing. "I'm not so sure about that. Of all the men I've met, which isn't very many, but still important, you've been the most stand up, honest and good so far. I think there's something to be said about that." She said "That's one side of me." He said with a devilish grin. She looked down and decided not to dig further into that. "So, did you go to college? You know everything about me and I know nothing about you." "I did." Erik said. "I went to the University of St. Andrews. I have a degree in business." "Really? You seem so artistic. I would think some kind of degree i

I feel like this is the most dressed up I have ever been in my life, Pearl thought to herself, looking in the mirror. The Valentine red Badgely Mischka scuba gown with a pleated and side gathered bodice and ruffled high slit skirt looked elegant and beautiful on her body. It had a strapless, sweetheart neckline and the slit made her appear taller. That and the 4 inch Louboutin heels. The stylist did her thick, dark hair in a half up do, gathered and teased to create volume in the back with two tendrils left down, framing her face. "I have a necklace to match but you must take very good care of it and make sure to return it after the event. Erik insisted I bring it."The stylist said. She opened a velvet box to reveal a stunning Victorian style Burmese ruby and diamond chandelier choker necklace. Pearl gasped. "I don't think I would feel comfortable wearing that. It's worth more than anything I currently own." Pearl said. "It's worth more than some people's lives." The stylist said dry

"And now, on behalf of the polo association and the 37th annual charity ball of Rome, we would like to introduce his royal highness, Prince Friederike Pilsen-Chamberlain, the crown prince of Wales and future King of England." The crowd roared and clapped. "I'll just be a sec, darling." He smiled and said to Pearl, leaving her side for only the second time that evening. "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. On behalf of the annual charity polo match and ball, I thank each and every one of you for the time and effort you have all put into this evening to raise money for such noble causes. One of those causes being the New Hope Foundation, a charity incredibly important to me. It has become an international success in it's assisting women of all nationalities with becoming independent of abuse and trafficking and allowing them the ability to achieve a better life for themselves and for their children by providing housing, education, counseling and grant money to help them find strength

Pearl was grateful to take her heels off. She walked over to Erik and asked him to help her unfasten the necklace she was wearing. "Pearl, we just walked in the door." He laughed. "I promised your uptight stylist I would take this off as soon as we got home." She said. "Well we better make sure we do what we are supposed to, then." He said. He ran his hand along her shoulder and Pearl felt chills run through her. He moved his other hand along the opposite shoulder and did the same. He loosened the clasp and lowered the necklace down her neck, running it onto her chest and then lifting it over her head. It was the most erotic way possible to remove a necklace. "Thank you." Pearl said. "You're welcome. I'll put it away properly. It was my great grandmother's necklace. The Queen Victoria." He said, looking at it. "Oh my. I didn't know that. I can't believe I wore it all night." Pearl said, in utter disbelief. "I didn't tell you because I figured the worry would take away your enjoy

Pearl awoke to Erik laying beside her. Even though she had denied him the night before, he was still right by her side when she woke up. Something she was not used to. "Good morning, beautiful nightingale." He said. Pearl smiled. "Good morning." "I slept like the dead. Sleeping next to you is the best sleep I've had in decades. I'm going to have to kidnap you just to keep you as my sleep mate." He laughed. "Yes. Come to think of it, I sleep really well when you're around too. Even when I'm not passed out drunk." She joked. "I have to have Auggie back to Florence this afternoon and I have an early dinner with my uncle in Venice. I will drop you off on the way. I was hoping maybe you could meet me there for drinks later this evening." He asked shyly. "Meet you? Again tonight? In Venice?" She asked. "Don't act so surprised, nightingale, I already told you I was kidnapping you. You're in Italy until next Friday, correct? Today is Sunday so that gives me only a week and four days to

After spending a small fortune at Gucci, Prada and Louis Vuitton, they were ready to check in to their hotel and get ready. Pearl had heard from Erik. He was almost finished with dinner and wanted them all to meet him at his suite at the Danieli. They had a suite at the Gritti, compliments of Holden Tomlinson. Pearl looked in the mirror. "The Prada Duchess dress." Fi said, smiling. "There isn't much to it."She smiled. It was a black dress with deep V neck top that had cross fabric barely holding in her breasts and a full skirt with an open back. It was elegant and daringly sexy. Pearl loved it. "This is a four thousand dollar dress." Pearl said. "Yes. And you're wearing it for a goddamn royal. I'd say it's worth it." Fi said. Pearl wanted to feel bad for using Rhys and his card. But she couldn't find one bit of feeling bad inside herself. Pearl put on way too much black eyeliner and shadow but the smoky eye looked perfect with the smoky color of the dress. Her hair was big and curl

The flight home was short and Pearl was thankful. She was still exhausted from the jet lag. Her new attorney was meeting her the following day to discuss the company and the process with all the legalities with the transfer. Pearl knew she wasn't the person to run it and hoped she could handle it for the five years she needed to before she was able to sell it. Her and Dylan got back to the house and found a black Escalade parked in the driveway. "Who is that?" Pearl asked. "I have no idea." Dylan said. They got out of the car and the Escalade door opened. "Jim?" Jim what are you doing here?" Pearl asked. "I am your new driver and bodyguard. John hired me just this morning." He said. Pearl smiled and ran to him, hugging him. She missed him. "But what about Rhys? You've worked for him for years." Pearl asked. "I'd like to think that I protect people with integrity. I didn't give my life as a navy seal and special op to follow around a spoiled little movie star that enjoys treating

Pearl's phone rang as she was walking into the hotel. "Erik,"she said, seeing his number light up on her phone. "Mmm nightingale..." His sleepy voice was absolutely adorable. "Sorry I didn't answer the phone, some of us are still asleep at four am. I was hoping you were calling me to tell me you were in London and that you just couldn't stay away." Pearl smiled. "I am so sorry. I am going to have to get used to the time difference between us. I wanted you to know I plugged your charity on the tonight show. I was asked an awkward question about us and I was able to make it about the charity.""Awkward question?" She could tell he was smiling when he asked. "Yes. He asked about me being spotted in Italy with a certain royal," she said. She knew the questions would come and continue but she would try to handle them the best she could. "Why not tell them we are together?"Silence. Pearl wasn't sure if he was joking or not. "Why would I say that?" Pearl was confused and elated, but d

I hate this city, Pearl thought to herself. She had not had the best experiences there. Dylan grabbed her luggage and helped her carry her things into the hotel, through the swarm of photogs outside. They were relentless now that Pearl had been spotted with Erik. "Well, well if it isn't the belle of the ball." Ian greeted them with a hug. He leaned closer to Pearl. “I hear the best way to get back at a lying, slimy, shit fucker for an ex is to galavant all over Europe with the royal family, then have the prince of fucking England knock him to next Thursday. I need to take some lessons from my bad bitch bestie." Pearl smiled and hugged him. “I missed you,” She said. "Same kid. Same." She wanted to ask him about Carys and the baby but she figured they would have their time for that. "I want to talk to you about Seattle,” Pearl said. "Oh yeah? What about?" He asked. "I might want to buy a home there,” She said. "My company has it's main base there and it's closer to LA for the ba

Iris was waiting for her at the airport. "Hey there. How are you?""I'm good,” Pearl said, unconvincingly. "How was Italy?" Iris asked, helping her put her bags in the car. Pearl paused and sighed. “It was the best time of my life." Iris drove her to Dylan's house. He was there, at the door, waiting to greet her. "Hey there,” he said, hugging her. "I'm glad you're home." He walked her into the house. "I set up a room for you,” he said, leading her to a newly remodeled bedroom upstairs. He had moved a bed in and bought her new bedding and blankets. All of her books and journals were neatly lined on a bookshelf and her clothes were all hung in the walk in closet. "You didn't have to do this, I was expecting to come home to boxes piled up somewhere,” she said. "I remember your apartment. The boxes you left packed. I didn't want that for you here."She smiled and hugged him. "Thank you,” She said. "You've got a day to get settled and then we are off to New York. Better try to ge

"So you have everything?" Pearl asked him as they were walking to the door. "I do. Listen, Pearl. This was wonderful. Thank you for spending your entire holiday with me,” Erik said,kissing her forehead. "Thank you for making my holiday so amazing. I can't thank you enough. For everything." She sighed and didn’t care how loud it was. He leaned down and picked her up, giving her a big hug. "Ok then. Take care of yourself. Look me up if you ever need a fortuitous meeting in Florence again,” he said smiling sadly. She smiled back and walked him to the car. "Goodbye Charles. Thank you for keeping us safe,” she said, handing Charles a box of cookies the chef had made for him. He thanked her with a nod and walked out to the car. "Alight then. Goodbye, nightingale,” Erik looked into her eyes one last time. He gave her one more hug and got into the car. She watched as they pulled away and she walked to the middle of the road, standing there, watching until his car was out of sight. The

"I'm going to miss you,” Pearl said, giving Fi a big hug. "You saved me this week. You gave me courage. Thank you. I love you." "I love you, too. Let me know where you end up and I will come and see you. You can come and stay with me in LA after I'm done filming the show. My character dies in the last episode so I won't have to work with that pussy boy after this,” She said. "I just may take you up on that." Pearl was truly thankful to have found a friend like Fi. She and Erik walked her to her car and she hugged her again. "Thank you, Erik. For being the bad ass she needed." Fi said to Erik. “It was my pleasure to break that wanker's face,”Erik said. Fi smiled and hugged him "See you soon you beautiful bitches!"Fi yelled as she waved and drove off. "Did she just call me a bitch?" Erik asked. Pearl laughed, “It's a term of endearment." "One I will never, ever use on you,” He said, kissing her head. "We have the house completely to ourselves now. Whatever shall we do?" Erik ask

"There you are. I was worried,” Erik said. "I'm fine, Lancelot.” Pearl rolled her eyes. "I am both Arthur and Lancelot to you, M'Lady Guinevere." He said, picking her up and spinning her around. They heard a throat clear behind them. Erik put her down and Pearl adjusted her dress. Pearl whispered to Erik,”She's got a whole little speech for you. It's adorable." Phoebe curtsied and said "Your highness, crown prince Friederike Pilsen-Chamberlain, it is an honor and a privilege to meet you. I am Phoebe Davies, a friend of his highness prince Augustus Pilsen-Chamberlain." She curtsied again. Erik, in full form, looked formal and stern and took her hand and kissed it. "It is lovely to meet you, Phoebe Davies." Then, to her and everyone else's surprise, he picked her up and twirled her around too, giving her a hug. "Any friend of my brother's is a friend of mine. Welcome and make yourself at home." He said, then turning back to Pearl. "Now where were we? Ah yes." He said, picking her up

"Hello, brother. How has your week been going?" Auggie asked as he sat down. Erik was dressed in all white with sunglasses on. The wind blew through his wavy hair and he ran his hand through it, making an attempt to tame it. "You're growing a bit of a beard. I like it." Auggie said. "Thank you. And my week has been interesting, to say the least." Erik said. "How's Pearl? I just adore the shit out of that girl" he said. "She is good." He said, smiling. He could still smell her on his hands from their early morning love making. "Brother you are blushing? Dear god you've got it bad for her!" He said. "I mean, look at you? Your clothes are wrinkled which never happens, your beard isn't trimmed and your hair looks a tousled bird's nest. You've been living inside of that woman for the last few days and I couldn't be prouder.""Slow down. I haven't been, what you said, well maybe I have. I like her. But I wouldn't say I've got it bad for her. I don't even know what that means." Erik repl
