"Hi, Shannon." Mathias smiles sheepishly as he sits beside Shannon in their shared English class.
"Hello." Shannon responds as she ties her long strawberry blonde hair up into a ponytail, "I hope you'll behave in class today."
"I will. I don't want to get you into trouble with me." Mathias laughs loudly.
"I hope so." Shannon smiles, "If you need help, please tell me."
"Actually, do you want to meet later at the café?." Mathias asks as he smiles back.
"That would be okay." Shannon giggles.
Later, after class, Mathias met with Shannon in a small café.
"So, what was it you needed help with?" Shannon asked as she sat down at the table with her tea.
"Well, could you look over my essay before I hand it in?" Mathias asks before taking a sip of coffee.
"Of course." Shannon smiles sweetly.
After twenty minutes, Shannon finished reading Mathias' English essay and gave tips on improving it.
"Thanks, Shaz." Mathias beams, "You'll make an amazing teacher."
"So, how did you end up at university here in Dublin?" Shannon asks.
"Well, before I say anything please don't say anything about this to anyone but, I'm the Crown Prince of Denmark, and I was sent to school after causing a sandal with my best friend. I had a little street race through Copenhagen against Lars, the Prince of Orange." Mathias smiles sheepishly.
"Oh, I don't care that you're royalty. I still want to be your friend. Honestly, I'm not surprised you would do that." Shannon smiles.
"Now that you know the truth. I can take you out for dinner if you want to date a prince." Mathias offers.
"That would be lovely." Shannon smiles softly.
"I'll pick you up tomorrow night." Mathias laughs.
The next night, Mathias picks Shannon up outside her flat.
"Hi." Mathias smiles, "You look beautiful."
"Thank you." Shannon blushes, her pale skin glowing bright red, and runs her hand down her short green dress.
"I was thinking of having dinner at this small restaurant." Mathias suggests as she shows Shannon to his red sports car.
"That sounds good." Shannon giggles, getting in the passenger seat.
After fifteen minutes, Mathias and Shannon arrived at the restaurant and were shown to a table.
"It's amazing in here." Mathias explains.
"It looks it." Shannon smiles, "So, how did you find this place?"
"I had just arrived from Denmark and was hungry, so I came in to get a burger." Mathias explains.
Mathias walks to the bar to order two burgers and a couple of drinks from him and Shannon. After returning to the table, Mathias hands Shannon her glass of Irish whiskey and puts down his pint of beer.
"Thanks, Mat." Shannon giggles before taking a drink.
"No problem and the barmaid said that our burgers will be ready in about twenty minutes." Mathias smiles.
"So, is there anything you want to do with your degree?" Shannon asks.
"I don't know. I don't want to rely on being royalty to survive." Mathias explains, "What made you want to go into teaching?"
"Well, I have a younger brother, Liam. He's ten years younger, and when he was younger, I used to help him with his school work, and I enjoyed helping and decided that I wanted to teach." Shannon explains.
"Is there a certain age group you want to teach?" Mathias asks.
"Yes, I'm better with the little ones over teenagers. So, I'm planning on teaching at the Primary stage." Shannon explains, smiling.
"I know I said it yesterday, but you make a great teacher, and the kids will love you." Mathias smiles brightly at Shannon.
"Thank you." Shannon smiles.
Soon, the waitress brings two burgers over to the table.
"These are amazing. I'm glad that you brought me here, Mat." Shannon laughs after taking a bite out of her burger.
"They are. I'm glad that you're enjoying dinner." Mathias laughs loudly.
"I am. This has been fun, and I can't wait until the next one." Shannon smiles.
"Is there anything that you're thinking of?" Mathias asks.
"How about a study date next week?" Shannon suggests.
"Sounds good; you can help me with my essays." Mathias laughs.
A few hours later, Mathias was showing Shannon back to his car. Before getting in, Mathias pulled Shannon into a tight embrace and felt that Shannon had relaxed. Mathias lifted Shannon's chin so that she was looking right at him and softly kissed her on the lips. After kissing for a few minutes, Shannon pulled away and smiled at Mathias.
"I'll take you home." Mathias smiles at Shannon before getting into the driver's side.
"Thank you, Mat. I've had a great time tonight." Shannon smiles from the passenger side.
"It's no problem. I've also had fun." Mathias laughs loudly.
"I can't wait until our study date next week." Shannon giggles.
"Me too. But I'll see you in class tomorrow." Mathias smiles as he stops the car outside of Shannon's flat.
"I'll see you tomorrow, and thank you so much for tonight." Shannon smiles and kisses Mathias on the cheek before getting out of the car.
