Same thing different morning but with more omph. I woke up at 10:37am and i was back in my own bed. A text off Paul was on my phone

Good luck today ell. Let me know how it goes :)x

I smile at his text. I did my facial routine and straightened my hair. Adding a light amount of makeup i looked okay. I take a photo and upload it to my instagram:

Classy kind of day. I hope you all have a wonderful day🤎.

straight away a lot of likes and comments. People always say. "I love your style" or "you dress like a normal girl and not royalty". I dont want to dress in big long flowing dresses all the time. I do dress more posh when i have to go to meet ups or party's but if I'm just doing a normal day i just wear what a normal twenty year old girl does.

I open my bedroom door and i nearly have a heart attack. Mr Downey was stood outside in;

He looked gorgeous(he had stubble and the suit was straight lol)

"Good morning princess. Sleep okay?" He asks casually.

"Beautifully thank you Mr Downey. How long have you been standing out here for?" I ask shutting my door.

"Around ten minutes i could see you posted a picture on your instagram and i could hear you moving about. Whats your plans for today? Anything exiting?" He asks.

We start to walk down the corridor and to be honest today was the only day I didn't have anything planned.

"No surprisingly. Wednesday i have a meeting with the royals, Saturday i have a royal ball for my brother harry's birthday. Nothing on today though" i smile.

"Well what about a drive around the city? You can be my tour guide. I haven't been around London before i would love for you to show me" he suggests.

"Oh i would like that" i smile.

"I will drive and you show me" he says.

"No i will drive. We have black out Windows only we can see out in my car and we have hidden numbers plates" i say.

"Okay whatever you say princess. Lead the way" he smiles.

I walk down the corridor but i cant help but have butterflies. Many people have called me princess as i am one but when the word comes out of his mouth it gives me butterflies. He does put me on edge a little as of the way he speaks and walks not like Paul.

I let the other guards know me and him was going out in the car and they would let the queen know. I hope into my drivers seat and he follows suit and gets into the passenger seat. I pull off and i take him for a tour around London. I show him all the places and the things that i have been involved in.

"So you are quite a busy girl then?" He says.

"Yeah. I mean sometimes. Its hard being who i am. All the royals are like over thirty in the youngest except the children. Sometimes i feel like im getting pushes away and not part of the royals. My gran she as always been there for me after my mum passed away. Obviously my dad is there too but he i hardly ever see. Its just a complicated family" i say.

I pull into the royal gardens that is a secret place that the royals know. No public people are aloud in here.

"Im sorry about your family. It does seem complicated" he says.

I look at him and put a fake smile on. I get out of the car without saying anything and he follows.

"You know Paul was the only one that was ever there for me. My gran she is there but she is busy all the time being the queen and all. My brothers well they only come to see me when they have to. I love them to bits but the amount of times we have had little arguments. It shouldn't be normal for siblings. Paul though he was my brother from another mother. Of course he had days where he would go and spend days with his family but on them days i would keep myself in the palace. It was just hard to see him go as he was basically my only true person" i say.

"I understand. I will try my best to be like paul but you have to know princess i could never be him" he says.

"No i know. Gosh i don't expect that from you i have known Paul for six years. He knows me more than i know me" i say.

I walk along the path and i stop by a bunch of flowers. It was my mothers flower place.

"Your mums grave?" He asks.

"Well this is where she wanted to be scattered. She is in Windsor buried with my grandfather" i say pointing at another set of flowers which was for Philip.

"Im sorry this happened" mr Downey says behind me.

"Honestly Mr Downey its okay. Look at me. I have to be okay. Being royal you have to put a smile on and pretend everything is okay. Deep down its not" i say looking down at the flowers.

"You don't have to fake it around me you know. Im not here to judge. If you want to ball your eyes out and rant I'm here for it. If you want someone just to talk to I'm here. I know I'm new around here and yesterday i made out that i was the di- grumpy one. I can be but im not" he says.

"I understand. Thank you" I smile.

"Now how about we head back and have some food?" He suggests.

I nod my head and we walk back to the car. We arrive back at the palace and i dont know mr Downey was giving me weird vibes. He was being strict. When i was driving he told me to slow down when i was only doing 20mph anyway. I pulled into the driveway and he said that I should of parked the car more straight. When i got out i shut the door and he said don't slam it. Jesus he was sounding more like my dad all the time.

"Hello your highness. What would you like to order for your lunch?" The chef comes out and asks us.

We decided to have food in the outdoor sitting area. It was basically another room.

"Any options on the menu or is it anything today?" I ask with a smile.

"We have gammon, steak, fish or turkey with your choice of sides" the chef says.

"May i have gammon and some chips please" i smile.

"And for you mr downey?" He asks him.

"I will have the same please" mr downey says with a plain face.

"I will be right back out with them" the chef says.

I turn to look at mr Downey and he was already looking at me.

"Mr downey i thought you said to me I couldn't be fake with you? How can i not be fake with you when all you are doing it giving all my staff dirty looks" i snap a little.

"Stop with the Mr Downey. It's Robert princess and also this is how i am. If you dont like it fire me" he says.

"Gosh no need to he harsh. Im the princess around here I wouldn't be talking to me like that if i was you" i say.

"Look im here to do my job. Im a guard. Im not supposed to be fully of bubbly smiles and laughs. Im here to protect you and nothing else" he says.

I keep quite and i just keep my gaise away from him. Maybe this will be just as awkward as I imagined.
