Chapter 1
It was a bright and sunny day. Rose was walking across the campus towards her dormitory. She was just minding her own business when all of a sudden, someone bumps into her and knocking all of her books that she was carrying in her hands.
"What the devil?!"
"Oh, I'm so terribly sorry"
"Just watch where you're going, you sod!"
Rose looked up at the person who bumped her. She was looking at a gorgeous tall guy with blue eyes and blond hair that glistened in the sun. She looked more closely at him and thought to herself (He looks so familiar, where have I seen him? Oh, my god it's Peter Phillips! He's so fine)
She smiled at him, " Oh, you don't have a need to apologize", "I shouldn't have yelled at you like that".
"Well then, perhaps I should introduce myself so that next time I know who to bump into", he said laughingly, "The name's Peter, Peter Phillips to be correct"
"Mine's Rose. Lady Rose Scott"
"And a most beautiful lady in fact", He said gazing into her eyes, " How long have you been here at Exeter?"
" Oh this is my second year", she told him, " Wait a minute, don't you have a sister named Zara?"
"Yes, that's right"
"She and I used to compete in gymkhana's when I was in boarding school", she said.
"Is that so...," He said wondering. (Damm she's so hot, I wonder if she has a boyfriend?)
"I have an idea, how about lunch at the coffee shop near the school entrance?" he asked," That is if you would like to join me"
"I love to".
The both of them walked to the coffee shop, ordered some lunch got a table and sat down.
"You know Peter, I have a confession to make".
"What can it be? ", he asked.
"I recognized you when we both collided", she confessed, "Plus I used to see you at Gatscombe Park when your mum and my parents used to go fox hunting and you would be hanging out with your mates by the stables".
" Really ?", he said, "Wait a minute...your parents are Lord and Lady Richard Scott, am I right ?"
"Yes".
"And we used to play together when we were little", he said.
Rose told him, "I remember when we used to throw water balloons at each other and then your grandmama Queen Elizabeth would laugh and say to us both "Oh you two, how about aiming at your parents?"
"I never thought that she would be like that in public, but she does have a sense of humour and likes to pull pranks on the servants," he laughed, "I always wondered what had become of you, Rose"
"Well, I was in France to study literature for two years and now I'm here at Exeter to study art history", she said," I'm glad to see you again after so many years, Peter".
"Me too, Rose", he felt the same way," Say, what's your plans for tonight?"
"I was supposed to find some books on Italian paintings in the library", she said, "But I'll do that tomorrow, ".
"How about going for dinner and a movie?"
"I'd like that, Peter"
"I'll meet you here at the coffee shop at 7:00 tonight, okay with you?", he asked.
"It sounds wonderful", she agreed, "I'll see you tonight"
She got up from her seat leaned over the table and gave him a kiss on his cheek.
"What's that for?", he said smiling.
"Let's just say a thank you for bumping into me", she smiled back, "I must be getting off if I want to look pretty for tonight".
"Allright, I'll see you tonight", he said," Later, Rose".
"Bye, Peter", she said.
She walked to the front door and turned to wave at him. He gave her a smile and waved back at her.
Peter sank in his seat thinking about what just happened.
"Oh man, I can't wait to see her again". "I think that I'm falling in love with her".
