Chapter 34: Chapter 34

*Anne's Point Of View*

"I'm sorry I can't," Oliver spat out and everyone gasped including me.

"What? Why?" I asked as tears clouded my eyes.

He can't be possible doing this to me, not after what I've been through for him.

"I can't explain. It's-"

"Just stop! Oliver please stop! I thought you loved me " I paused as tears flowed down my cheeks.

"Just let me explain!" He shouted but I ignored him.

"I thought you cared but I guess it was just fake!" I yelled with much sadness.

Mom just looked at me, her face blanked.

"Oh goodness, let me talk. Anne I will never marry you....until I properly court you," he said and my face litted up.

"We have feelings for each other and I want it to grow more outside marriage. I want to know more about you and learn how to make you happy!" He beamed and the crowd busted into cheers and I grinned, internally blushing.

"Is that too much?" He asked frowning and I laughed.

"No, it's excellent!" I groaned and pulled him into a hug.

"I love you," I whispered into his chest.

"I love you more," he said and I sighed before punching him and pulling away.

"What was that for?" He whined and I rolled my eyes.

"For giving me a heart attack. I could have fainted," I explained crossing my arms.

"Okay, I'm sorry but you are the one who got it all wrong even when I tried to explain," he stated.

"Yeah, yeah! I apologize," I pouted and he chuckled.

"Over dramatic and over reacting princess," he muses and I glared at him.

We were completely oblivious of the crowd standing beside us, looking at us with so much interest.

Luke coughed and we drifted apart towards him. When I noticed that the crowd just saw what transpired, I turned red.

"I think that the wedding is off then," dad spoke up and I nodded.

"Let our preparations not be in vain. Let us celebrate Princess Anne and Mr Oliver courtship," mom smiled and everyone cheered.

The party began. Every single person grabbed a partner, Luke grabbed Sandra while dad grabbed mom who was smiling sheepishly.

I know that it's gross to me but at the same time so adorable. Aww!!!

"Shall we?" Ollie extended his hands to me and I smiled, tucking my hand in his as we strolled to the dance floor.

When we stepped into the dance floor, the song was changed to a slower song and I groaned. They did that on purpose.

"I'm loving this party," he winked and I sighed.

He slipped his hands on my waist and I lauded my hands on his shoulder, wrapping his neck.

"This is really amazing," I smiled, liking the view in front of me.

"Don't you go to multiple number of parties, so how does this one top it all off," he frowned and I giggled.

"Well, because you are here and I finally have the freedom I deserve," I tap his nose.

"Why don't we go out now," he suggested.

"Where exactly?" I asked and he shrugged.

"Its a surprise," he stated and I chuckled..

"Okay, we'll sneak out and take one of the back doors in my room to get out of the castle," I said and he nodded.

He sneakishly led me out of the hall. But unfortunately, we bumped into someone......

"I see that you've finally gotten my guard and mother wrapped in your fingers," Beatrice spoke.

"What do you want?" I asked and she sighed.

"You'll know very soon," and just like that she was gone.

"Okay?!" Oliver exclaimed shocked. I am too.

I shrugged it off and led him to my room. I quickly changed into something more comfy.

Thankfully, we walked out of the premises without been seen.

"Now where are we going?" I asked again, after a mild walk away from the castle grounds.

"It's a surprise. Now put this on," he passed a sunshade and a nose?????

"What is this?" I asked, holding out the 'nose' to his face.

"Its a disguise. Just put it on," he groaned pushing the items on me.

"Am sure that I look awful right now. I feel sorry for myself," I pouted and he laughed.

"What's so funny?" I turned serious and he stopped.

"Let me call a cab," he stayed and I just shifted away, admiring the surroundings.

"Anne!" He called out and I looked at him.

"What is it?" Trying to be polite. He interrupted my admiring, I think?

"Don't be so grumpy. Now get it," he motioned towards a cab. I didn't see that before.

"Sorry," I smiled and stepped in. The driver gave me a weird glance. It must be because of the stupid disguise.

.

"Where are we going?" I asked for the uptenth time.

"It's a surprise. I told you already," he smiled and I groaned.

The car came to a stop and Ollie ushered me out and I gasped.

"The beach?" I squeaked and he laughed.

"Yeah. The beach," he grinned and I ran to hug him.

"Thanks!" I whispered. I love the beach that's why I acted that why.

He paid the driver and we walked into the beach.

We went to look for a spot and finally found one. It was unfortunate and weird for people to looking at me while I walked passed them.

We got a perfect spot, a bit close to the water and we settled down.

"It's so bad that I didn't bring my swimsuit," I groaned and he chuckled.

"You were bent of getting dressed fast," he smiled.

"Bringing a wedding gown to the beach would have been a disaster for me," I stated.

"Don't think about that, let's just have fun," he dragged me towards the waves.

I tried to keep up but instead bumped into someone.

"Watch were you are going freak," she shouted.

"I am really sorry!" I apologized but she huffed.

"I don't need your flithy apology," she scoffed..

"I don't want any trouble," I begged and she rolled her eyes.

"You're an ugly brat," she started then looked at Oliver. "You should come with me handsome, I'm more beautiful."

That was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

She trailed her fingers on his chest and my blood boiled.

"Firstly, do not ever touch my boyfriend again. Secondly, don't judge a book by its cover"

"Okay then," she retreated her hands. "And who do you think you are?"

"She is princess Anne," Oliver stated and she laughed.

"In your dreams," she hissed and I snapped. I pulled off my disguise and the look she gave me was priceless.

"Y-You're Highness," she stuttered, a bit scared.

"Let's go Oliver," I dragged him to the water. That was stress full.

"We'll really miss you. I'll really miss you," Laura smiled and I laughed.

"Same here " I stated hugging her. We pulled away and I took turns hugging them.

They all got into their cars and drove off.

"Okay where did you two go today?" Mom asked and we froze.

"Oh look at the time. I have to eat, I'm starving " I grabbed Ollie's hands.

"Oh Talia!" I was already out of her sight.

*Laura Point Of View*

We got home earlier and I was surprised.

"It's good to be home," kat exclaimed and we laughed.

"Yeah it is," I agreed.

"Nelly. Can you please come with me?" Mr Howard asked and I almost squeaked.

"Okay sir," she replied nervously and I mentally laughed. I've never seen here so nervous.

But again, this is really important. Let's see what will happen next.
