Latina Torrence

 

“Two days?!”
“Yes and the Queen and Prince where afraid you have fallen ill. They will be pleased to hear you have awaked.”
“How did you know I would be up?” I questioned
“ I knocked on the door around ever meal time and if you answered then you where up.”
“ Am glad my stomach has perfect timing.”
She smiled at the remark and so did I.
“Will that be all Lady Lily?”
I still wasn’t use to being Lady Lily so at first I gave her that “are you talking to me?” look. “Yes Crystal. Thank you again.”
With out a word she left , leaving me with trays of food. I was so glad I could eat the privacy of my room because I was making a pig out of myself. I never ate this well before it was amazing. Everything tasted so great I couldn’t stop. That’s how I came to writing to you. I was waiting for my food to settle and now I must sleep. I know I had two days worth, but the food! Am still wondering if this is real. You will know when wake up on the streets again and me writing you that my mind played a awful trick on me. In the morning will I be Lady Lily or will it just be Lily the street girl who steals books. I laughed this time at that. Well good night dear friend






Entry 6

Am sorry its been so long. I just been so caught up in the new royal life. The rules, the classes, the dinners! I think my head just might explode. I do say though I have got to Drakken more and more. Just this morning I got to sit next to him at breakfast. It wasn’t intentional but nor was it a mistake. Then something happen. A moment I will treasure. After bowing before the table I took my seat and place a napkin in my lap. I learned that it was proper for a lady to do such thing in class. Ugh god do I hate those classes. Anyways as I place my hand my lap that when I felt it. That warm smooth touch. My heart melted and I felt my self ready to faint. I told my self not get ahead of my self. It might be a accident. So I causally turned toward Drakken and that how I knew. His eyes and smile told it all. He meant to touch me. I quickly faced forward with my cheek certainly bright red and tried to keep for fainting. I didn’t want to land in my eggs face first in front of Drakken. Thats a humiliation I knew I would not be able to survive.
Thinking about it now my face is hot and am breathing heavily. Well I have to go now. Its about that time for class. I hope I can survive the boredom alone. Well I with pat on Toji’s head and off I go.
Oh its has happened! The impossible! Am still out of breath. I know this a dream it cant be happening but it did. My lips are still tingling and my hands is shaking. Okay Lily claim down. Alright ill start from the beginning. Like I left off I was off to class. I needed a map I swear to move around this gukia palace. Its out of this world. Well as I stumbled into the class room. Literary stumbled because I have no idea how I got there. The doors were open and I looked up and there he was staring at me. If I had remembered what I had learned in class and walked with my head up I would have seen this before it was too late but I didn’t. It was too late. His pearly white smiling at me and him eyes taking me in. I froze and almost forgot to breath. Madame Joan snapped me into reality with her high pitch shouts of commands,
“Come come Lady Lily don’t keep the prince waiting,” She shouted.
All I could do was nod my head then I bowed and when I came back up something came over me. I think it was courage because there was no way I did it myself.
“Morning Prince Drakken,” I said to him. I was so pleased with my self I didn’t faint.
“Morning Lady Lily.” he said with a smile and even better he bowed.
He said my name with his angelic voice and bowed! He bowed at me. I could hardly believe it but just when I thought it couldn’t get any better it did.
“ Now Lady Lily, Prince Drakken has blessed us with his time to come and help with the dance proportion to help get you ready for the ball coming up.” Said Madam Joan.
Bless yes. I am blessed. As I learned it was a gift sort of and that only God could give them out. Don’t ask me how to explain because I don’t have a clue. Yet I know only a gift from God could have made this come true. Dancing with Prince Drakken ran through my mind and I felt my knees getting weak. Don’t faint! I yelled at myself. I cleared my throat and courage kicked in again which I come to like.
“Well thank you Prince Drakken for assisting me with such a task.” I managed. I only been here a week and concise for four days of it and all ready am using such words and sentence with ease. This must be one of the special gifts Gloria said I had.
“My pleasure Madam Lily.” he replied
I swear every time my name passed through those perfect lips my heart just sank deeper into my body.
“Assume position.” Madam Joan instructed.
Drakken then extent his arm to me and opened his hand. Oh no I thought. It was going happen. I was going to faint but that wonderful thing happened again. Courage. I stepped towards him buckling my knees. My hand touched his and that where the magic began. He took firm hold on of my hand and pulled me close to him. I was caught off guard and I landed softly against his chest. Oh dear god please keep me strong I said to my self. There I go again, asking God for something.
“ Now we will start with the old fashion dance of the flower.” Madam Joan informed us.
Drakken leaned in to my ear. “Flowers are soft and majestic. A beautiful flower like a Lily.”
I just knew then it was going to be over for me. My heart had hit low as it could go. I couldn’t believe he was saying this to me! All I could do was remember to breath and listened to Madam Joan as she explained and the music playing. First left, then right, spin and bow. He held me so close and tight. I felt like we where dancing in the clouds and entreating the stars.
“Madam Joan your needed to the queen.” a announcer has said.
Their job must be fairly interesting just running and talking. Made me wonder the secrets they may hold. I wouldn’t use one. I would just make the trip to see the person. I mean how lazy can you be. That least you can do is oh yes sorry back to the story.
“Yes right away,” she said letting the right roll off her tongue into a purr. She then turn to us. My face just had to be red as a cherry. Not that I ever seen or ate one but I heard of the expression from some where. “Please complete your lesson and Lily remember to extent your leg when bowing.” then she walked out
You can imagine what ran in my head. Here let me give you a preview “OH MY GOD ME AND DRAKKEN ALONE WITH HIM HOLDING ME!!.” Yes I think those where my exact words. Hm, I wonder if you can own god. I heard people say that. We continue our dance of the flower in silence at first. He was smiling that beautiful smile at me. I was so distract with my fantasies I of course got clumsy. Oh yes I did it once again. Instead of left I went right and trip over my own foot. As humiliating as it was I quickly recovered and he caught me and pulled me close. Our nose could almost touch. I open my mouth and went to say something like am sorry am such a clumsy idiot, but instead I stood there with my mouth wide open like a idiot. Am not sure which was worst. Being a clumsy idiot or a mouth opening one. Then that’s when it happened. I looked into his eyes mouth still wide open and I watch his eye lids slowing start to come down and him leaning into me. Closer and closer he came and before I could realize what was happening his lips where touching me mine. His where parted open of course to have to match my lips or they would have been straight in my mouth. I finally close them a bit and went with the flow of the kiss. It was like nothing I ever felt before. I didn’t think my heart could beat any faster and I knew he felt it because I felt his.
Like instinct I closed my eyes or maybe I was afraid he was going to open his and see me as a wide eyed idiot. His smooth lips just keep drawing me and I part my lips just enough for him to slip his tongue in. It was the best thing I every felt. It was the perfect kiss and the perfect moment. Of course every good moment comes to a end. I heard heels and pulled away. Madam Joan walked in completely oblivious to what she had just ruined.
“Okay sorry about my leaving.” she announced apolitically
“ Am not.” I said just low enough for Drakken to hear.
He smiled that smile I’ve come to love. “Me neither.” He agreed
“Lesson over.” Madam Joan told us. “ Thanks you again Prince Drakken for you help today.” then she eyed us in a unusually way. I then realized we where still standing close together and Drakken’s arm was still wrapped around my hip. I quietly pulled away and Drakken caught on and let go.
“ It was my pleasure madam Joan.” he replied hoping to divert attention.
She then bowed, eyed us one more time as if she was thinking was it a good idea to leave us alone she must of have made up her mind then took her leave. I turned to him not sure what to say or do. Nothing but that kiss running through my mind. He smiled and opened his mouth. I stared at those lips completely hypnotized then again a another moment ruined.
“Prince Drakken, you are wanted by his majesty.” we turned and saw a bowed announcer
“ Yes thank you. I will be there shortly.” he said and turned back to me
“ I was told to accompany you sir.” the announcer continued
“Why yes of course.” he then took my hand and placed it palms down to his lips. I sucked in deep breath because as so often tends to happen I forgot to breath. He kiss my hand and held on to it as he looked me in the eyes. “ Its been a pleasure Madam Lily. I hope to do this again real soon.” the he winked.
I was speechless. It was all too much. All I could do was nod my head and watch him turn to leave me there. Next the only thing I could do was run to my room. I bumped into workers and apologized all the way here. I even fell flat on my face once but I was so overwhelm to stop and be embarrassed. Now am here barely breathing and tell you all this. Well I think am due for a nap. See you soon my friend
