Behind her, two voices were speaking. "Sire, I don’t think it would be such a good idea. You know HM the Queen of England would greatly disapprove," said the first one.
"Oh Wilbur, I won’t tell if you don’t. I’m just curious, that’s all," replied the second.
Angel wanted to know what it was they were talking about. All of sudden someone tapped her on the shoulder. Probably one of the officers wanting to question her more. "Go away, I’ve told you everything I know. What more could you want?" asked Angel.
"I’m sorry miss, I just wanted to know what happened," replied the second.
"What would you care," said Angel, "you’ve probably never lost a mother before. You wouldn’t understand."
"Oh but I would miss, my name’s William but everyone calls me Wills. What might yours be miss?"
At that moment, Angel turned around, "Your highness, I never realized, I must’ve....I shouldn’t have, I’m sorry."
"That’s quite all right, I understand. Losing a mother isn’t easy but you don’t have to take it out on everybody," Wills said. "And they call you by....?"
"Oh gosh your highness, my name is Angelica but everyone calls me Angel."
"You don’t have to call me your highness, Angel, what a pretty name. You probably were a gift from god."
"If I were a gift, god probably wouldn’t have taken my mother away from me, especially on my vacation."
"Come on," said Wills, "let’s find you a place to stay."
Angel couldn’t help noticing how extremely handsome the prince was. Nevertheless, she let him lead her.
"Wow, this place is gorgeous, " Angel exclaimed as she walked into his room, "You mean you actually live here?"
Wills laughed, "Yeah. Would you like me to get you anything, some blankets, hot chocolate anything?"
"No, I’m fine, thanx for asking though."
"Well, why don’t you tell me about yourself. I think everyone has a story to tell so I’m here to listen."
"OK, but then you next."
Wills nodded.
"I was born January 15 1983, I have an older brother who is now my legal guardian cause my dad died when I was young and my mother was just killed in that car accident. He attends Berkeley in California where I used to live. I live in Florida now and it’s hurricane season and since there wasn’t any school and I’ve always wanted to see England, we decided to take a little vacation. Just the two of us. That’s about it, what about you?"
Wills got up from the couch and grabbed a magazine and gave it to her. It was one Angel already had with him on the cover and a full cover story on him. "Read it, I must give them credit, they actually got some pretty good information on me and somehow, it doesn’t seem to bother me. I actually like their work."
"This wasn’t what I meant. I mean I know all facts and stuff like that on you, hell, I’ve got it memorized, written all over my walls but I wanna hear yours story."
"I don’t have a story."
"Sure you do, you just said everyone has a story so now I wanna hear yours."
"OK, I’m 6 months older than you, have a little brother and am destined to be the future king of England. How ‘bout that?"
"You could’ve done better but I guess that’s OK."
"OK, how ‘bout you, you just gave me your life outline, that’s not a story." Then Wills starting tickling her and before you knew it, they were rolling on the floor laughing and tickling each other. Just then the door opened and Harry stepped in.
"Um, am I interrupting you guys?"
"No," said Wills getting up and straightening his shirt followed by Angelica. "We were just having some fun. Letting go of some-"
"-negative energy," Angel jumped in.
"Yeah, some negative energy, that’s all, letting loose some stress."
"Yeah, right." Said Harry, "Anyways, Dad just wants you to know that we’re flying to Belgium tomorrow night ‘cause some cousin is getting married and we just HAVE to be there."
"OK, thanx Harry. Don’t forget to close the door on your way out."
"Whew, that was close."
"I know, um Angelica-,"
"Yes, um Wills is there a phone around?"
"Yeah, just outside my room down the stairs."
"OK thanx, I just gotta call the hospital and find out what I’m supposed to do next."
After she left Wills started thinking, "Wow, she really is something. I wonder if she has a boyfriend. I girl so pretty has to, but maybe, she doesn’t. Maybe I’m lucky but I can’t make my move. After all she’s just lost her mother. Maybe..."
Angel returned, "OK, the hospital said they’ve contacted my brother and he’s on his way here right this minute. I’m sure when he arrives he’ll know what to do."
"Do you have a place to stay for tonight?" asked Wills
"Yeah, there’s the hotel room where all my stuff is but I really don’t want to spend the night there all alone."
"How ‘bout you spend the rest of your time here until your brother comes. You can check out tonight and grab your stuff and come here. After all, there’s tons of beds here."
"OK, yeah, that would be great."
"So. You go there and I’ll send a limo to come pick you up in about another hour?"
"Sure, then I’ll see you in an hour."
"Well, I’m tired, I’m going to change." Said Angel.
"Yeah me too, you can have any room you want but I’d prefer if you take the one that links to my room," Wills said shyly.
"Sure, that’d be great."
As she changed behind the change wall, her shadow would bounce off the wall in the dim room. He couldn’t help but just stare at her curves. As she stepped out, he couldn’t resist and just grab her and start kissing.
"Control yourself Windsor, she’s a guest and nothing more."
"What Wills, did you say something?"
"No, I was just saying how tired I am and we should really get to bed."
"Yeah, I’m exhausted too after all that I’ve been through and everything. Well, good night."
"Night, see you in the morning."
They both went into their rooms, not being able to fall asleep. "I wonder if he’s still awake" said Angel. "Maybe I should go check up on him," as she slipped under the silky covers.
Back in Wills room, as he tosses and turns, "OK, Windsor, stop thinking about her, you’re just going to loose sleep and you know you can’t loose sleep. You just can’t." Finally Wills fell asleep but was waken by someone shaking him. There was a thunder storm on outside.
"Wills, Wills, are you awake? It’s Angelica."
"I am awake now, wasn’t your bed comfortable? What is it?"
"Oh, it’s nothing like that, it’s just the lightening and rain and I had a nightmare of the accident reoccurring over and over in my mind and-I was wondering if I could spend the night with you." Wills looked shocked and got up, and they said boys were dogs, "Sure, here I’ll get you another blanket, I happen to hog the blanket so just wait here."
He was in his boxers only and Angel couldn’t help notice how sexy he looked in them.
Wills grabbed another blanket and two other pillows from the linen closet and came back to his room. "Wow, she even looks great in just a T-shirt. Here you go."
"Oh, thanx, I promise I won’t kick."
"OK, well, we really have to get to sleep cause we’re going to be up all night tomorrow night."
"Why?"
"There’s the wedding and all the other stuff and trust me, we’re going to be busy."
"We’re, but I’m not going."
"Not going where?" Wills said getting up again.
"I’m not going to the wedding, you didn’t invite me."
"Oh, well in that case, would you Angelica, give me the pleasure of complimenting me at the wedding of some cousin of my father’s tomorrow?"
"Sure Wills," Angel giggled, "I didn’t mean to get that technical. And sure, I’ll go will you."
"Well, in that case, can we please now go to sleep."
"Sure, see you in the morning Wills." Said Angel falling asleep in his arms.
"Night," Wills said as he embraced her.
The next morning Angel found herself in Wills’ arms. You got up suddenly and then remember what had happened the night before. She quietly got up, not disturbing him and slipped out of his room into her own to get ready for breakfast.
In her room, she quietly changed and then walked down to the dining room where Prince Charles was already there sipping at his morning coffee.
"Well don’t we look happy," said Charles.
"Yes, well, I had a wonderful night here. I’m so glad Wills invited me to stay. I’m sure I would’ve gone mad in that hotel room all alone without anybody-by the way, has my brother called?"
"Yes, actually he called a couple hours ago to say he’ll be here at 3:00 PM London Time so we should be at the airport around 2:30 don’t you think?"
"Um, sure, 2:30 is just great."
"Don’t forget about the wedding tonight. We’ll be flying at 5:00 this afternoon so we’ll be in Belgium around 6:30 and we’ll get everything done there. Are you staying with your brother or are you coming along?"
"Well, William did invite me so if you don’t mind, having my brother come along too."
"Speaking of William, why isn’t he up yet?"
"I’m sure he’ll sleep in tonight because there was some lightning and thunder last night."
"Oh, well he still has his duties. Why don’t you get Ingrid to make you some breakfast and I’ll get that little devil up."
"No need to, I’m already awake," said Wills walking down the stairs in a bathrobe. "Morning father, morning Angelica. Did you sleep well last night?"
"Yes, I did, thanx. I’m getting myself a latté, can I get anything for you?"
"Sure, I’ll have a mocha cappuccino thanx."
"Well Wills, looks as if you got some lady here. She’s not at all one of them. And very kind."
"I know, I’m going to go up and get dressed. I have a busy day today."
"Yes, Angelica’s brother called saying he’ll be here at 3:00 but don’t forget we’re leaving here at 5:00."
"Got it" said Wills.
"Got what," asked Angel handing him his cup. "Oh nothing, just that you better make yourself pretty tonight because I plan on having the most gorgeous date at the wedding tonight." Wills said jokingly.
"Oh, don’t worry Mr. Windor. I’ll have your eyes rolling on the floor by the time I’m don’t with you." Angel said with a wink.
"I think I see him," said Angel. "He’s the one with the polo jeans and polo sweatshirt."
"The green one?" asked Wills.
"Yeah, that’s my brother." Said Angel. "Oh, Steve," Angel said hugging him.
"Missed you squirt, how have you been?" asked Steve.
"Great now that you’re here. Oh Steve, this is William. He’s been really kind to me during this who incident. Steve William, William I’d like you to meet my brother Steve."
"Nice to meet you," Wills said as he shook his hand.
"The pleasure’s mine. It isn’t everyday my sister falls in love with a prince!" he said as he winks at William. William starts laughing silently.
"Steve," Angel exclaims blushing. "Come on, let’s get your bags."
"How was your flight Steve?" asked Charles.
"Just great, thanx for asking. Now that I’m here I can get down to business."
"No need to rush, didn’t Angelica tell you, you’ve been invited to a wedding of some cousin of mine tonight."
"I greatly appreciate your offer, a wedding would be really fun especially since the 7 hour flight, but I don’t have a date."
"That’s OK," said Wills, "I’m sure Zara, you know my cousin, she’s 17, would love to go with you."
"Sure, I even brought my Armani suit so it’s settled."
"Great, come I’ll show you your room." Said Angel.
