I lie with Alex, my head on his chest.

"We better be getting you to the airport" he says

"Yeah..." i say half heartedly

"What's up?" He asks sitting up and I sit up as well, holding the duvet to cover myself

"Nothing, I just don't want to go" i say

"Your coming back on Monday though so that's alright" he says and i nod

"Yeah, I'll let you know when I get back" I say and he nods

It didn't take Alex long to drive me to the airport where I met a member of security and said bye to Alex.

I walk onto the plane to see my mum, she smiles and hugs me

"You look... glowing" she says with a smirk

"Don't say anything" I say

"Ah why not?" She says

"Mum, we don't have a close enough relationship to talk about my sex life" I say and she laughs

"Fine" she says before turning her attention to her book

I'm not looking forward to this ten hour flight at all.

I lean my head against the window and feel myself falling asleep.

"Honey" my mum says before saying it again.

"What?" I groan

"We're here" she says and I open my eyes

"We are?" I ask

"Yeah, come on we have a car waiting for us" she says and i nod getting up and we walk out of the plane to be greeted by the sun.

"Geez that's bright" i say

"That's why I brought sunglasses" my mum says cheerily and I laugh

"Your majesty" a man says, "I'll be your driver to the palace"

"Thank you" my mum and i say the same time

We walk into the palace and I get guided away from my mum into a big ballroom.

"Here she is!" Matthew cheers and i laugh

"Who am I going on a date with first?" I ask wanting to get this over with

"Harold" Matthew says, "get the worst over with first am I right?"

"Thanks" i say and he laughs

"Come on, follow me now" Harold says and my eyes widen

"Good luck" Jordan says

"Thank you" i say giving him a small smile

I follow Harold outside onto a table and he sits down across from me in a slump.

"Let's get this over with" he says

"You don't have to be here" i say

"If I'm not here who's going to take your side by the throne?" He asks

"One of them?" I ask
