they wanna make me their queen

KITTY EVANS ♔ 21 The Kitty Evans, princess of Genovia. I do what I want, no questions asked and if you're annoying, I won't hesitate to have you tossed out of my presence. Don't be obnoxious.

[theprincesskit]

It’s Friday, the night is young, and I have just enough bottles of alcohol in my room to at least make it a good pregame. We’ll see how the rest of the night goes, and you all know where to find me if you think you can keep up.

Madison: I didn't, because I was still the second rate princess. I'm never gonna be you Kitty.

Madison: Like what? Getting an orgasm?

Madison: Well sorry that one of us actually cares how we look to the public eye!

Madison: all i'm saying is that fooling around with whoever you feel like isn't an option kitty.

Kitty: Is that what this is about?

Kitty: For one, yeah.

Kitty: That's you, not me. You know it's never mattered to me.

Kitty: I'm well aware of the fact that that's what everyone thinks, thank you. Are you done lecturing me now?

Madison: YOU LEFT ME HERE ALONE SO YOU COULD SCREW AROUND WITH HIM?

Madison: I just can't believe you right now.

Madison: He's better then Jacob, at least he had a freaking title.

Madison: and I still kicked him to the curb.

Kitty: You were like the designated princess for the summer! I thought you would have loved it!

Kitty: It just made things easier, okay?

Kitty: You act like you're so much better than me, when really, titles and status are all that you care about.

Kitty: Am I supposed to be impressed by that?

[jake-puckerman]

“We don’t have to talk about your parents at all, you know they’ll do enough talking for the both of us anyway.” He shrugged, knowing that it was highly likely that he and Kitty would both get an earful. His would just be a lot worse, given he was being paid to look after their daughter. Even though their hook ups had never jeopardised Kitty’s safety, he knew that the Queen wouldn’t want to hear that and would turn a blind eye to it. Plus he knew Kitty’s mom wouldn’t exactly accept the fact that the sex was great as an excuse. Jake knew where Kitty was going with her sentence as she trailed off, but it was true. There was a chance he wouldn’t see her again. He was sure if the Queen had anything to do with it, then he wouldn’t for sure. There was a small chance he’d see her from a distance but this was definitely their last alone time.

“I’m sorry.” Jake apologised, knowing that Kitty tended to get lectures from every direction and he’d spent enough time chasing after her to know that she didn’t exactly listen. He’d just hoped that it would be different if it came from him. Maybe he was just hoping to be special when in fact, he probably wasn’t, he was just a hook up to her. “I just don’t want anything to happen to you, that’s all. I’ll stop talking about it though. And yeah… well they’d be within their rights to fire me, and you know it. We’ll just have to wait and see what they want to do. I might be reassigned but I don’t know if I’d want this job with anyone else, especially if it meant I had to work with Blaine.” Jake joked half-heartedly. Although it wasn’t really a joke, he’d rather quit than spend all his time following Blaine’s orders. He watched as she threw her phone across the room, ignoring his own as he felt it vibrate in his pocket. His friends were apparently just slower to the game than hers. He let her lift his arm up, wrapping it around her shoulder once she had buried herself into his side. He was content to just stay like this forever, but instead he was trying to savour every second they had left. Jake turned his head to press a kiss to her forehead as his hand absentmindedly stroked her hair. “Whatever happens… it was worth it. At least for me it was.” He whispered to her softly. 

[theprincesskit]

Kitty couldn’t muster up more than a half-hearted grin at his attempt to lighten the mood, unsure what she even thought about him potentially staying around the castle. Sure she would get to see him more often, but at the same time knowing that she could never be with him again, let alone probably even talk to him alone, seemed like some sort of masochistic torture. Despite the current situation she felt herself relax just a bit at Jake’s touch, refusing to think about the consequences or anything else at the moment. Her lips pressed together tightly she couldn’t help but give a genuine smile at his admission, no matter how small the expression was. “I don’t think I even need to say that it was worth it,” she started, closing her eyes as she leaned into him further. “Because why would I bother sneaking around with you if it wasn’t?”

Feeling his phone vibrate Kitty smirked a little as she let a hand run over his lap, sliding her fingers into his pocket to take it out and turn it off. “No more interruptions,” she muttered half to herself and half to Jake, standing up and taking a few steps so she could turn the lock on her door. If this was going to be the last time they had together, she was sure as hell going to make the most of it. Reaching for the bottom of her shirt the blonde was quick to tug it over her head and off, leaving it somewhere on the floor behind her as she walked back to where Jake was on the bed. “Worth. It,” she repeated, looping her arms around his neck as she slid onto his lap, effectively straddling him. “You’re wearing too many clothes.” Her lips moved against his neck, slowly moving up to meet his as she attempted to slide his jacket off of his arms.

Madison: Then why are you slumming it?

Madison: You might not care about your image, but I do! And I've let a lot of things slide in the past 20 years, but this is soooo not okay!

Madison: And it's not the sex part! It's the sex with Jacob! It's just disgusting.

Kitty: Like I said, Mads, the sex is great. And convenient, too, why do you think I spent all summer on my own in Europe?

Kitty: If you keep talking and sounding like my mother, I'm going to treat you like her soon.

Kitty: Oh and what, sex with Ryder is so much more acceptable?

Madison: It means he's a commoner, and you're better then him.

Madison: And we're princess' Kit, we don't just get the option to fool around with whoever we want! At least not publicly. We have a reputation and an image to uphold.

Madison: Even this is a little too wild for you.

Kitty: I'm not going to deny that.

Kitty: Since when have you ever known me to care about my reputation or image? That's all bullshit, and you know it.

Kitty: Oh, /this/ is too much? Not the time those pictures of me doing coke in a bathroom were leaked, or showing my vagina to everyone at the fashion show. Just me having sex with someone.

Madison: Um, how about finding someone actually worthy of your time? You're the freaking princess of Genovia, Kitty! You shouldn't be slumming it with Jacob.

Madison: Okay ew, I don't need to know that.

Kitty: What's that supposed to mean? I don't need to marry someone rich because, I mean, look at me. And you've met almost as many princes as I have, you know they're absolutely nothing to brag about most of the time.

Kitty: I'm just saying.

[jake-puckerman]

They’d be sneaking around and hooking up for months now. So he’d had months to figure out a backup plan for what they could do if they got caught, but he hadn’t bothered with coming up with anything, confident that they were too good at sneaking around to get busted. Overconfidence had been his downfall once again it seemed. He watched Kitty sit down on her bed, trying not to think about how this would be the last time he’d be alone with the Princess. He didn’t even know how long they had before either his boss or her parents saw the news and came looking for them. It sucked, and he knew he was about to face some pretty big consequences.

“How Kitty, how are you taking care of it?” He asked, running a hand over his hair. He doubted she had any substantial plans or ways out of this but he could only hope for the best right now. “Your parents, for starters.” He replied drily, knowing the Queen was not going to be happy about her daughter gracing the tabloids once again, especially not for an affair with an employee. He moved to sit down next to her on the bed, resting his head in his hands as he listened for the dreaded sound of footsteps coming down the hall, although it was quiet for now. “Before this all turns to shit, I just want to say I had fun with you Kitty, and I’m going to miss spending time with you.” Jake told her softly, knowing their time together was limited and the clock was only ticking down on them. It was pretty much the most he’d spoken about emotions or feelings with her, but he knew it was his last chance so he’d better take it. “I really like you, so stay safe and take care of yourself, and don’t run too many rings around whoever takes over my job.” 

[theprincesskit]

For once, Kitty was speechless. She didn’t want to admit that she didn’t have an answer to his pointed question, one that would be satisfactory for the two of them, at least. “Can we not talk about my parents just yet?” she inquired instead, scrunching her nose up at the thought of the numerous lectures she would have to endure because of this. A fully stocked liquor cabinet was going to be a priority before that happened for sure. Biting down hard on her bottom lip the blonde watched quietly as Jake sat down next to her. “Don’t say it like that -- like...” she trailed off, knowing that like I’m never going to see you again was on the tip of her tongue. Saying it out loud would mean the Princess admitting that she needed Jake in her life, that he wasn’t just a fling that happened because they were both attracted to each other.

“Spare me a lecture, please. I’m going to get enough of it from literally everyone else in the entire world. And hey, this doesn’t mean they’re going to completely fire you, you know that, right? You just...won’t be allowed to be with me ever again.” She said it quickly, trying to convince both Jake and herself that it was a likely possibility. As her phone kept incessantly buzzing Kitty picked it up and threw it against the nearest wall, not caring if it was functional as it was at least silent for the time being. Lifting his arm so she could fit comfortably underneath of it the Princess buried her head in his shoulder, her knees pulled up in front of her as if by making herself as compact as possible everything would just disappear.

Madison: YOU SHOULD DENY IT!

Madison: And you shouldn't be so flippant about this.

Madison: He's your bodyguard. What are you even thinking?

Kitty: What should I be doing instead, then?

Kitty: He is, mmhmm. And he's more than great in bed, Mads. Like, scream worthy.

Madison: YOU AND JACOB?!

Madison: Kitty what are you thinking? The help?!

Kitty: Um, yes?

Kitty: I guess there's no point in trying to deny it anymore.

[jake-puckerman]

Jake was just going with the flow with Kitty these days. He’d long given up trying to analyse what they were or how their relationship worked. He was just going to enjoy it as it happened. “Shut up, I want the time to spend with you, not the Fashion Week itself.” He laughed, rolling his eyes at her suggestion.  “I don’t think I’ll ever want to go to any fashion show, let alone a week of the dumb things.” 

He reluctantly let her out of his arms as she pulled away from him to get her phone. He was confused by her reaction, wondering exactly what she’d seen on her screen that had prompted it. “What, has Justin broken up with Selena again? Has Harry Styles finally come out?” He asked jokingly. “Wait, did Kendall admit to the fake lips?” He continued to ask as he waited for Kitty to explain, a teasing smirk playing on his lips. Any hint of a smile was quickly wiped though when Kitty turned the phone around and he saw exactly what was on the screen. Apparently he and Kitty hadn’t been as careful as they’d given themselves credit for. “Fuck, this is not good.” He stammered, taking the phone from her so he could read the text for himself. “Well they don’t exactly have proof…” He tried to reassure both her and himself, only to read the words “exclusive photos here.” with a link at the bottom of the article. Fucking paparazzi, they ruined everything. “Shit, I guess we’re busted.” He groaned, handing her phone back to her as he tried not to think about how much trouble he was about to get in.

[theprincesskit]

This was why Kitty had hopped on a plane in the first place, going wherever she fancied all summer without having to worry about appearances or how it would look to anyone else. Apparently they had gotten a little too carefree though, and her mind was racing even as Jake attempted to make light of the situation. Which, in any other circumstance, would have had her rolling her eyes and playfully hitting him as it inevitably led to something more between them. Sitting down on her bed she sighed, wondering for a moment why she was even so concerned about the situation. She was the Princess, she could do what she wanted. De-Throned would eat this up, her not even being back for 24 hours and already having a reason to grace their cover again. Plus, her mother would be furious, which was always something Kitty enjoyed seeing.

But looking up at Jake as he gave her her phone back she felt her stomach drop, realizing this would mean so much more for him. There was no way the palace would let him stay on as her bodyguard, and she hadn’t even seen the pictures yet. Her fingers flew over the letters on her phone as she typed out messages to various people, doing what she could to try and stop this from exploding into even more of a disaster. “It doesn’t matter, we can take care of it,” Kitty muttered, her attention still on the screen in front of her as she tried to figure out how the hell they were going to do that. “Besides, who doesn’t love a royal scandal?” She was making light of the situation, she knew it, but she felt like she couldn’t accept the fact that this had the potential to change everything.

[jake-puckerman]

Jake had spent the whole summer not having to worry about people simply walking in on them, and he hadn’t missed it one bit. But the risk was worth it. There was just some kind of spark between the Princess and him, one that he’d given up trying to deny. It was pointless and he thought he might as well make the most of it, and hopefully they wouldn’t get caught and he wouldn’t lose his job. They’d made it this far, they just had to continue being careful.

He smiled as she pressed a kiss to his hand, a far more intimate move than he’d experienced with any other hook up. “No I’m not.” He sighed, about to say something else before Kitty grabbed his tie and pulled him in for a kiss. He kissed her back, loving the now very-familiar feel of her lips against his. Jake smirked as she complimented him, her lips now moving across his jawline. “Well the feeling’s mutual, Princess. Not about the suits of course… but it’s always difficult to keep my hands off you. Especially since you look hot in anything… or nothing.” He added teasingly, sliding his hands around her waist. “Maybe you need to plan another trip away. A Fashion Week somewhere? Are there any coming up? I hate the damn things but at least we’ll be out of here.”

[theprincesskit]

Her movements only paused for a second at his words, the corner of her lips quirking up just a bit more as he reaffirmed that the feeling was mutual. Even if that could be taken as purely physical attraction, Kitty would take it. She could be shallow when she wanted to be, but part of her was just disappointed that they had to get back to normal now. Whatever normal might entail. A satisfied sigh escaped her as he tugged her closer, her own arms wrapped tightly around his waist as a mirror image. “I never thought I would hear the day that you wanted to go to Fashion Week,” she teased, licking her lips as she thought for a moment.

Reluctantly stepping out of his grasp she grabbed her phone, about to scroll through the few reminders she had set before her attention was caught by the number of notifications that had seemingly popped up out of nowhere. “What the hell..?” Kitty trailed off, not even knowing where to start as she clicked on a message from Quinn. Her eyes widened at the words, her free hand going to cover her mouth as she clicked on the link for confirmation. “Fuck,” she added, biting down hard on her lip as she read through the few lines of text. Text about her and Jake, suspicions that there was more to their relationship than professionalism. Without saying anything she turned the screen to face it in his direction, letting him see for himself.

MADISON: Truer words were never spoken. I'm still not even sure if we're going to talk now that he's back in town or not.

MADISON: Don't get mean, Kit. She's some rando commoner from wherever he ran off too. I don't think she even knows. I mean, I doubt he told her.

MADISON: How bout we go out instead? I think it's time Madison McCarthy revisits the club scene with her partner in crime. Plus, I'm sick and tired of being cooped up in this castle. I need to have a drink. And kiss some pretty people.

MADISON: We both know I'm going to do most of the planing anyway. We'll just bring all out suits and then make sure to color coordinate each day.

KITTY: Do you want to talk to him?

KITTY: I'm just saying, she could be a total skank. If I ever see her around the castle, I'll do some investigating.

KITTY: /You/ want to go out? What all have I missed this summer? Hell yeah babe, let me find a little something to perk me up and then we are hitting the town. I'm sure the gossip pages have missed me.

MADISON: Well he kept his mouth shut. And his phone.

MADISON: And he didn't tell me about this new girlfriend either, so I doubt the situation we were in before is even going to be possible.

MADISON: Who does? No one, that's who.

MADISON: Good, I'm glad one of us had fun.

MADISON: Kit, there's a perfect way to deal with clashing bathing suits. You pick out all your suits before hand, and then I'll pick out suits that match them properly. And then once they're all picked out, we just make sure to coordinate on the days we go swimming!

MADISON: Problem solved.

KITTY: How rude of him, princesses should not be kept in the dark.

KITTY: He WHAT? Who is this bitch, do I need to give her a piece of my mind?

KITTY: Which is why you're coming over tonight for a post-vacay spa night. So we can /both/ have fun. Or at least, as much fun as you can have without being able to drink on a beach.

KITTY: That's so much planning though, and what if I decide one of the cuts makes me look fat one day? Then it would throw the whole schedule off and you know I'm just lucky if I somehow manage to throw even just one matching set into my bag before taking off.

[jake-puckerman]

Jake had honestly had the best summer he’d had in- well, maybe ever. His summers growing up had always consisted of sitting around in the local park wishing he had the money to leave. But school had always rolled around again without him ever managing to get out on any sort of vacation. So to actually spend his summer jetsetting around the world would have made young Jake extremely happy. He may have been working the whole time, but it sure as hell didn’t feel like work as he lay on beaches with Kitty and they made their way around Europe together.

They never stayed in one place for too long, something that made having a full security detail very awkward and inefficient. So they’d managed to convince his bosses, and her parents, that they’d be safe enough leaving her alone in Jake’s supervision for the majority of the time. They had a few back up guards lingering around but they were never too bothered about letting the pair disappear if it gave them an afternoon off. It wasn’t like Jake wasn’t good at his job. Besides they usually only wanted to go to private beaches or hang out by the pool, how much trouble could they get into?! It’d made their hook up’s so much easier and Jake was very much grateful for that.

“Unpacking sucks.” He agreed, wrapping his arms around her shoulders. They’d been close all summer but now he was back on alert, half listening for any footsteps that may come down the hall at any point. “I agree, although I don’t think anyone else would.” He sighed, stroking her hair absentmindedly. It’d started as casual sex between them but he could feel himself liking her more and more each day and he was not looking forward to their hook ups being less and less frequent now they were home. “But for the record Evans, I had an amazing summer.” 

[theprincesskit]

Kitty could feel just by the way that Jake held his body that he wasn’t nearly as relaxed as they had been for the past few months, although it’s not like she could blame him. He was the one that actually had his job on the line if anyone were to find out about the two of them. Whatever the two of them were, since it had felt like more than just a hook up at times. Something the blonde refused to let herself think about as she nuzzled her head further into his chest. Maybe if she just ignored everything outside of the two of them it would all just…disappear.

Turning her head just a bit Kitty pressed her lips to his hand before grinning up at him. “It was a hell of an amazing summer, you’ve got that right,” she said, half-sighing it out as she realized this really meant it was over. “You ready to get back into your suits full time?” A smirk quirked up one corner of her lips as she grabbed the tie he was wearing at the moment, tugging him down to her level so she could kiss him deeply for a few moments. “I’ve gotta say, there’s something about the way you wear them that makes it extremely difficult to keep my hands off of you sometimes,” she muttered against his skin, her lips moving to his jawline to trace it lightly.

MADISON: Nope. We haven't spoken since before he left.

MADISON: Besides why would he tell me?

MADISON: Hey don't be mean, Mason's like a great alternative.

MADISON: They were totes hot but it was also like, super dramatic and I cried like 7 times. Please tell me you made out with them while like, sailing on their boat.

MADISON: That sounds wonderful. Next time you go you're bringing me with. I totes don't appreciate being left alone.

KITTY: I figured if he was going to tell anyone he was coming back it would be you. Considering you guys have the most /history/ and it would have avoided a situation just like the one you guys found yourselves in.

KITTY: Yeah yeah, but he doesn't appreciate mani pedis as much as you do.

KITTY: Made out with plenty of them, mmhmm.

KITTY: Of course, although it was nice not to have to worry about bathing suits clashing, for once. But next time you're hopping on the private jet with me, obvs.
