"Oh my gosh!" Vivian gasps excitedly as I walked beside her nervously watching her reaction to the location I carefully picked out for our first date,

"Look! There's an actual clown! I never thought that people still dressed up as clowns now a days" She laughs while the clown she pointed at honked his nose at her with a wink,

"Out of all the places I'd think a prince would take his mate out on a date, I'd never expect him to take her to an actual town fair" She rambles on while grabbing my hand as she looked around excitedly at our surrounding,

She was so enthralled by the surrounding that she didn't even notice that her small hand holding mine tightly was making my heart race along with how adorable she looked while pointing at everything around us in awe.

"Oh! Look! Can we get one of those?" She exclaims happily while pointing at the deep fried Oreos displayed in front of a pastry booth,

"Can I get one tray of your deep fried Oreos please?" I ask the woman at the stand as she took one look at me before gasping,

"Yes! Anything else you'd like prince John?" She responds with a shocked expression as I shook my head with a awkward smile,

"No thank you ma'am, that will be all" I answer while handing her a 10 dollar bill for the plate of 20 deep fried oreos,

She tried to decline my money but I didn't want someone to give me something for free just because my sister is married to the alpha king.

Especially my mate. I don't want her thinking I'm some asshole that can get stuff for free because of my position in the kingdom.

"Anything else my mate is craving?" I ask as I guide Vivian away from the booth carefully while she ate her fried Oreos like it was the best thing since slice bread,

"Oh! Look! Lets get some of that" She gasps once again while pulling me towards a Hawaiian food booth,

"This time I will be paying" She quickly says before putting a 20 dollar bill out to the man at the front of the booth with a hair net,

"Can I get 2 plates of the number 1 on the menu and also two bottles of coke with it please?" She asks nicely as the man smiles before taking her money and handing her back her change,

"2 barbecue plates with rice and 2 coke bottles? Are you sure it's best to eat that much food before we try out the rides first?" I ask concerned at what she ordered as she rolls her eyes playfully before leading me to the table area near the booth we ordered our food from,

"I ordered the 2 plates and drinks for us" She replies while handing me one of the coke bottles she was holding,

"Oh" I mutter not realizing how dumb I looked thinking she was buying food for herself on our first date,

"So, you like Hawaiian barbecue?" I ask trying to move the subject along,

"Yes, my father used to work with this Hawaiian man at his construction job and when he would come home from work, me and my brother would stay up late for him to come home with plates filled with Hawaiian food his friend made for him to bring home for us" She explains as I noticed the sad look taking over on her face when she finished her sentence,

Before I could ask her why her emotions were changing, one of the women from the Hawaiian barbecue booth place our plates in front of us with a smile silencing both of us.

"Enjoy your meal" She comments before walking back to her booth,

"So Mister prince of the kingdom, tell me this. Out of  all the expensive and cliche places you could've taken me to, why the fair?" Vivian asks while beginning to eat as I realized she was trying to change the subject she mentioned before,
