First Meeting
adclcides:
Adelaide had only to trust in his word as she rode on the motorcycle, waiting for him to do the same. She did not think about where she would hold as she wanted to avoid trying to put her arms around the male. The princess wondered if holding on her sides would be safe? But she did not want to be the source of her own hospitalization just because she refused to acknowledge proper safety precautions. She released a chuckle as he reassured her that they wouldn’t visit the hospital and decided to finally lower her own pride and put her arms around Alex. She braced herself for the ride, hoping he didn’t go too fast. The Austrian princess nodded as he reassured her that they’d be okay. Adelaide had ridden a motorcycle before — a clandestine journey as her past relationship rode this vehicle quite often — so she knew how the ride would go.
She looked at the sights that they passed by, feeling the cold air touch her skin. The smell of the ocean wafted through her and she guessed that they were near the beach. She didn’t get to go around Austria as a precaution, unless she was with bodyguards so getting to see the beach was a liberating experience. “It’s very peaceful.” She let out, walking closer to the water. Adelaide closed her eyes and smelled the ocean breeze, the natural environment giving her a good feeling. She appreciated the gesture, she could see how her friend fell for the prince, she just hoped that she wouldn’t follow too soon.
Standing back he watched her walk towards the water. Something about her looked angelic almost. What was he thinking?! This wasn’t supposed to work for him. He hated this whole marriage deal and everything that came along with it. All he was doing was being nice, showing her that he wasn’t a jerk. Maybe...maybe they could become friends, maybe she could agree to running away with him. Then he wouldn’t be alone...then again she seemed like she was very much in line with this whole monarchy thing. He let out a sigh as he glanced down at his feet.
It wasn’t until he heard her speak, that he came out of his trance. “Yeah...yeah it is,” he said walking over to her and standing next to her. “If you want...I wouldn’t mind bringing you out here if you ever just want to get away. We’re both going to be stressed as it is.” He gave her a small smile before turning and looking out at the water. “It’s up to you,” he noted.

“We didn’t do anything,” he replied, defensively. “I didn’t even really mean to fall asleep there. I feel a bit bad for mum though, it wasn’t exactly the first meeting she’d been hoping for.” Edward sat up and nodded, “It’s crazy how we’re all going to be spread out after this. Elizabeth in Norway, you in England, and me… somewhere. I guess I could go wherever, neither of us have a crown between us. We’ll have to actually plan our visits to each other.”
“Okay, okay. You don’t have to get all defensive,” he said nudging him a little. “Just be grateful you don’t have to basically have King class with her,” he shrugged before letting out a sigh. “It will be crazy, but I have no doubt that you won’t be that far away. Then stay in England. Like you said there isn’t a crown between the two of you so pitch it now and you’ll get to stay. This is really messing with you isn’t it?” he asked curiously as he looked at him.

First Meeting

His smirked gave her the chills as she knew what it meant. Never in her whole life did she do something spontaneous — or maybe she did but never did it again — and she wasn’t sure if she was thrilled or scared. She dragged her feet the way he dragged her, making sure she kept up. There was a time when Adelaide hated wearing heels and today was one of them, she had decided that for the duration of her stay here, she’d stick to flats. “You sure you’re not taking me somewhere… I don’t know… not safe?” She didn’t know if the word was right, and the question itself was a test of trust. She was more scared of the fact that something might happen and her father would not be pleased.
She stared at the motorbike and er mind played multiple things that could go wrong with this idea but then she looked at Alex and was reassured that somehow it would be okay. She rolled her eyes as she took the helmet and went to ride the motorcycle. “If anything happens to us, you’re in charge of the hospital bills.”
Alex couldn’t help but laugh at what she had said. “I would never take you somewhere not safe, Princess,” he smiled as he looked back at her. He struggled a little while opening the garage before looking back at her. He noticed her staring at the motorbike and chuckled a little. Giving her the helmet, he got on and told her to get on the back of it. Starting it up, he rolled his eyes at her comment. “We are not going to go to the hospital,” he chuckled. “Just hold on tight,” he said as he put down the visor of the helmet. Shifting into gear, Alex kicked the stand out of the way and let the engine go. Pulling out of the garage, he looked back at Adelaide and smiled. “Just trust me, we’ll be fine,” he said as he left and headed down the road. Riding was something that he did often back home, it was a way to get away from his problems and not think about anything in the world.
He just drove them, through the countryside of Greece and managed to stop on to of a landing where they could see the ocean. Looking out he smiled at how calm it was. “See told you we would be fine and look at this view,” he said as he parked the bike. He held a hand out towards her to help her off and walked over to the ledge. “There something you know about me. I love riding with no sense of direction. Clears my head,” he paused looking over at her just now noticing how stunning she was. His eyes fluttered for a moment before looking out at the scene in front of him.

There were papers absolutely e v e r y w h e r e.
“Bloody christ,” the Scottish woman huffed in utter irritation. She was digging through one of her many bags looking for her cellphone. Effie had lost it again–it was like the damned thing had a mind of its own, along with a set of legs that loved to wander away. Reaching into the bag, the Princess grabbed onto a lipgloss and hurled it over her shoulder across the room.
That was when she heard a knock at the door;
“Th’door’s open!” Effie hollered as she raked through a pile of clothes on the bed.
Looking for one of his siblings, he knocked on the nearest door he could in order to see if they were in one of the rooms. When someone said it was open, he turned the handle and walked into the room letting out a laugh at all the clothes all over the place. “Not who I was looking for, but are you okay?” he asked tilting his head a little noticing she was a little frantic.
cassandraxrc:
“You know you can always practice on me; I could give you a few pointers here and there” she teased; smiling at the man who sat next to her. “I’m certain they just want a pretty little nice thing around your arm to keep you in line and in control. afterall you are the future king and with your track record; you need someone by your side who is quite the opposite.” she stated truthfully. and spoke from experience. cassandra had missed the days where she was free to flirt and occasionally fool around with any other man. now she was betrothed and felt restrained. “ so tell me who is the lucky girl?”
“Oh I can now?” he smirked before rolling his eyes. When she started talking about his parents he shook his head and smiled. “That is probably true and she is very much the opposite, sort of. Honestly, I would be happier without all this nonsense,” he shrugged. Looking over at her he sighed. “Well she’s Princess of Austria. She’s actually insanely pretty so I’m not complaining. I’m still trying to get through to her a little. No doubt that I will, worked on you,” he said smirking at her.
First Meeting

The female gave him an amused face as he stated that she might have been a crazy person. Maybe she was, if only he knew her past mistakes, maybe he’d see her in a different light. “I could be crazy and no one would know.” She stated, chuckling, trying to hide the truthfulness of the statement. “Not boring cats? That’s something new.” The princess commented, her head tilting at the sight of his hand extending towards her. “Where are we going?” She asked, her hand slowly but definitely reaching out to his.
He smirked at her expression before taking her hand. “Yeah, they are evil little animals that plot death,” he said dramatically. “That is a surprise,” he murmured leading her down just outside the grounds and to a garage that he had found while scouting the area. “Now, it might be a little rusty, but I’ve been working on it.” Opening the door he walked over towards a motorcycle he had found. Grabbing two helmets, he extended one towards her. “This, we are doing this. Going for a ride,” he said with a smile on his face. “Come on, it’ll be fun and yes I know how to drive it,” he said getting onto the bike.

cassandraxrc:
“That’s very sweet of you to say,” she answered; flattered by his attempted. “True, it wasn’t your best but you can always keep trying.. I heard practice makes perfect.” She said making some space for him; looking up to meet his gaze. “That’s me; in the flesh. Well I’m glad my presence has somewhat change your mood about Greece. Likewise, Alexander Windsor. I’m been here and there; however where have you been?”
“I try,” he chuckled he said as he sat down next to her. “I plan on trying. Trust me, seeing people I actually know is always good,” he shrugged as he sat back. “Oh me, well pretty much the same thing. Plus trying to keep out of trouble. Pretty sure my mother and father are sending me on more engagements just so I’m not in the papers for something bad again,” he shrugged.
ekaterinarcmanova:
Katya honestly wasn’t sure if her parents actually knew what they were doing or if they’d just gotten lucky. Either way she was thankful to at least be able to honestly say she didn’t hate her future husband. “You don’t have to apologize,” she reassured just before sipping at her wine. It was odd to think about the fact that someday she’d have children— or more like grandchildren going through this exact same thing. Would the cycle ever end? “Maybe someday it won’t be like this. For now, though, I could see there being potential. I actually enjoyed spending time with him so it’s a start.” A start toward what she just wasn’t sure. “What about you? Have you met her yet?”
Alex nodded as he listened to her. “Maybe someday it won’t. Well hopefully there is potential. Mine is a little more difficult,” he shrugged before letting out a sigh. “I have, yeah. She seems nice, but a little hard to get at...with talking about getting to know her. I’m getting there.”

“I’m sorry to break your tiny little bubble, but marrying me wouldn’t mean you’d get to escape being Prince and get to live on the beach.” She informed him. “Ooh, yes, we could get like an Elvis priest!” She said laughing “Make you the only english crown prince in centuries to not get married at Westminster Abbey. breaking tradition’s like your favourite thing to do.” she fake-gasped loudly when he jokingly admitted it was her looks which had attracted him. “You know, the actual real reason i went out with you was so i could take the revenge of my ancestors since yours oppressed mine for two centuries. my plan was always to make you fall in love with me and just when you think you’re close to a happily ever after, i’d take it all away!” she shoved his shoulder lightly when he set the no-kissing rule “Not like i’d even want to kiss you.”
“You never know, it could,” he said making a face at her before laughing. “I know, but still. We were awesome. You have to at least admit that.” He shook his head at her before nodding. “It is my favorite thing to do. But you know my mother and father would probably kill me so Westminster Abbey it is,” he shrugged. “Well that’s just mean, I thought it was because of my good looks and charming personality, I’m hurt Z! So hurt!” he joked as he pouted at her. “You never know, those feelings could just come right back,” Alex shrugged as he walked with her. “Look, you know I’m kidding. I’m fine now with everything, I got over it. Doesn’t mean I don’t care about you and I definitely don’t want to see you get hurt.”
cassandraxrc:
“Sometimes the rain can be quite calming.” she remarked as she slightly closed her favorite poetry book as she accepted her cup of cappuccino and slowly looked back at the window admiring the rain.
“Sometimes you’re quite calming,” he smirked before pausing at his terrible joke. “That wasn’t my best...” He said joining the seat next to her. “If it isn’t Cassandra Reinhardt. This place may have just turned less sucky. Haven’t seen you in a while.”
edwardwindsor:
Edward nodded, leaning back into the chair, “Good. You two, friends, are good.” He blinked at the mention of his own betrothed, the entire situation that had led him to getting so drunk to begin with. “Um, yeah, actually. I spent the night in his bed – but not in a fun way or anything. I just needed a place to sleep. We ate breakfast together too.” He paused. “He’s… cool. I’m too overwhelmed really to make any judgements.”
“Yeah, we’re gonna work on it,” he sighed before looking at Edward and saw him change a little. “Wait you what? Mate, that’s getting to know them a little too fast, but hey at least you know he isn’t a jerk, right? I know the feeling. I might be feeling the same thing. You know, whatever happens you got me right? I’m not gonna let anything happen to you.”
gabrielcholodecki:
There’s a moment when dreams snap into waking, a defining line when the haze of sleep alarmingly and abruptly clears for the tangible world and its physical reminders of the surrounding reality, even if it took time to dissipate. Gabriel’s mind remained stuck in the fog, wedged in haze despite interacting with the awake world. His sleepless night was apparent, moving with a gait reminiscent of the dead meandering about, especially when he attempted to grab the cup of wine… attempted but missed the grasp entirely. Or more apparent still, when he crashed into doorway post and plummeted to the floor, spilling that drink over himself with maniacal laughter at his own foolishness, knowing he appeared more drunk than anything else. “To jest fajne,” he laughed, and looked to the nearest company. “Czy mógłbyś, could you please help me to my feet. They ran away from under me and I’ve lost them.”
Alex was minding his own business and just reading one of the books he couldn’t seem to put down. Odd for him, reading. He didn’t do it that often, but when he did he was sucked in. It wasn’t until he heard a crash that he was pulled away from the words on the page. “Ran away from you? You sure you haven’t had just a little too much to drink?” he asked helping him up. “Where we you headed anyway?”
