"Well what are we doing here let's enjoy the night and dance"He says and I giggle and I take his hand and we go back to the celebration.
Francis and I danced and laughed the whole night he made me feel alive and free.He made me forget what happened between Oliver and I.

Athenas POV
I was woken up by someone shaking me.I open my eyes and see Francis and I shoot up."I'm sorry I woke you up"He says with a smile and I shake my head."It's okay"I say."Well would you want to join me on this beutiful amazing garden with a very beutiful lake"He says and I smile and nod."Yes I will..let me just change"I say and he nods.I get up and start to change.

I then go out of my chambers and I see Francis waiting for me

"I never brought anyone here...other then my family"He says and I look at him with a smile."So I'm the only one you brought here"I say and he nods smiling.I never notice Francis having a picnic basket until I looked at him."Are we having a picnic"I say with excitment and he nods.He puts the blanket and we sit on it and he takes out the food.We start eating and I look at him."Thank you Francis"I say with a smile."For what"he asks with a raised eyebrow."For making me feel better and alive and free...i had never felt like that....so thank you"I say and he smiles and takes my hand."You know we would swim but we don't have any swim wear"He says and I look at him."We could swim in our underagment"I say and he looks at me with a smile.We stand up and we take off our clothes till we are in our underagment.We go in the water and it's so clear."This is so relaxing"I say and he nods and then splashes me and I gasp."How dare you"I say jockingly and I splash him.We go back  and forth till he grabs me by the waist and picks me up and brings me underwater.When I get back up we are so close but then I make him go under water and I giggle.I feel butterflys in my stomach.Why is Francis making me feel this way?

We arrive at the castle and we walk through the hallways soaking wet.Yeah when we were fully clothed Francis desided to push me in the water over there at the lake so I got my revenge.I then see Oliver and Claude approaching us."Where were you we were looking for you"Oliver says."And why are you soaking wet"Claude says with a smirk and I give her a playfully glare and she laughs."We were out"I say and Francis nods."Francis can I speak with Athena alone"Oliver says and Francis nods and leaves."Do I go to?"Claude asks and Oliver shakes his head."Where did you two go"He asks."No where"I say."Then why are you two soaking wet"He says and I laugh."We fell in the lake"I said."Let her be Oliver your with another women let her be with Francis"Claude says with a smile."I mean we are still married and I am her husband"He says but I shake my head."Remember the talk"I say."I know but...never mind I just want to say the coronation is in two days"He says and I nod."Thank you and I will,see you later Claude"I say and they both smile and I leave to my chambers.I change into some dry clothes and sit in my bed.Why is Francis making me feel this way?Everytime I see Francis their is always a spark in me that lights up.What about my feelings with Oliver?I honestly lost those feelings but one percent is still not gone.I am so confused.I then see Claude entering my chambers."Hey"she says and sits with me in my bed."I'm so confused"I say and she looks at me."About what"she asks."About my feelings I don't even know anymore"I say while tears come out and she looks at me with a sad face."Athena..talk to me...what is that you understand"She asks and I sight."I am starting to get these feelings with Francis but I still have that one percentage of love for Oliver and I don't know"I say breaking down and she hugs me."It's okay"she says."How?nothing is making sense to me anymore"I tell her and she looks at me with empathy."I'm gonna tell you this and this comes from the bottom of my heart...I care for you Athena you are like the sister I never had...and I want you to be happy"she says and then continues"love who you want to...dont listen to other people telling you who to love...choose for you and not the people around you"She finishes and I smile and hug her."Thank you so much Claude"I say and she smiles."anytime...im gonna leave you so you could think about it"she says and I nod.She gets up and leaves and I lay in my bed.What am I gonna do.
