"Step on the brakes. Jam the brakes" she yell as I turn the wheels. The tires squealed and we came to a stop. Chuckling nervously, I turn to face her breathing hard. The maids and guards hurry towards us apparently worried. She waved them off.  "We are fine" she tells them. To me, "As much fun that was, you have to work more on your reverse." "Yes ma'am" I bob my head in agreement. The Dowager, grandma Penelope has taken upon her to teach me how to drive. It's been good so far, if you count me driving like a snail good and ever since I've had to reverse in driving, well.....  "You can do this, I believe in you" she pat my shoulder "Thanks grandmama Penelope" I return her smile "Now t

His hands were wrapped around my waist and mine locked around his neck pulling him down slightly.    We were gathered in the meeting room with the elders. King Richard went on about the development of outerparts of Lilaria which had not been going on well for some years due to an unknown reason.  "Henry, you would accompany me to the opening of the new museum" "As you wish, your majesty" I noticed Nolan tense immediately while the queen frowned.

"Good morning lovebirds" a shrill voice yelled startling me awake.I groan not wanting to get up. The bed is in fact feeling lumpy and hard. It was breathing. The bed is breathing. My eyes popped open. I could see an arm and I could feel another on me holding me down.I look up to find what I thought is my bed stir awake.Oh no. Ewww no.
