chapter 94

I sat patiently as the maids finished touching up my hair for the last time, Bronwyn was getting Camari ready and I must say she was flawlessly beautiful there was neither a scar nor spot on her skin. And she had pale skin that made her red lips and green eyes pop and it made it better that she had curly black hair that framed her face perfectly, If I wasn't straight I would have jumped her every single time I got the opportunity. She was finally done.

"I cannot take you to the ballroom that is Xavier's job so I would have to drop you at his room" She led me to Xavier's room, he was getting dressed, rather he was already dressed and he was looking through his wardrobe for something, THAT ASS THOUGH, we still haven't slapped it yet, now's the opportunity. I walked quietly to him, but he must have heard me with the loud clicking of my heels then turned around to meet me.

"Hey"

"Hey, you" he came up to me and hugged me "You look..."

"Eatable, beautiful, breathtaking," I asked cutting him off mid-sentence.

"Yes, yes and yes and you look like a princess"

"You have a good fashion sense" I commented

"I try" he shrugged, now he is getting cocky.

"You also look very handsome and eatable" he laughed and placed his lips on mine.

"Well I am not done dressing"

"What could possibly be missing from Xavier's outfit" I scanned him from head to toe, there was nothing missing. He bent his head and showed off his slicked-back hair, I pushed the stray hair from his face, no that is part of the style. I put the hair back where it was.

"I don't understand"

"I am a prince" I almost forgot that little detail.

"YOUR CROWN!!!"

"You are horrible at charades"

"Come on you just bent your head, I am a pro at charades if there was a contest I am sure I would win" I huffed and looked away.

"So would you pick a crown for me?"

"Absolutely" he led me to the closet

"I love your collection" before I started picking crowns for the guy I put one on my head, it lopsided a bit but it was still a good fit. I picked out a silver crown that had a few sapphires on it, it matched his outfit and blue was one of my favorite colors so, I placed it on his head.

"Thank you" he adjusted it "I hear music and a guard would be here soon to escort us so... do you want to have a quick make-out session"

"And ruin my make up?"

"You are better off without it anyway" he placed his lips on mine then kissed me deeply

"Xavier, you can rip my clothes off later we just have to be patient"

"You are no fun, is there any lipstick" there was nothing there but I widened my eyes at it like there was. "how bad is it" he wiped his face and when he saw there was nothing there he rolled his eyes

There was nothing wrong with the ball at all, at first when Xavier led me into the ballroom I was frightened shitless, there were eyes on me from every direction and I thought I was going to break my heel and fumble. But I heard Xavier whisper in my head, I am right here. That seemed to calm me down a lot, I guess I do find sanctuary in Xavier after all.

"See there was nothing to worry about" he guided me through the dance floor immediately we came to a halt we were attacked by a girl. Camari's friend?

"Prince Xavier it has been so long" the girl kissed his hand, Umm I think it is the other way around. Xavier smiled and nodded curtly.

"She is your date?"

"Yes Antonia"

"Hmm, I thought you would invite me but I guess there is a new sheep in your flock" FLOCK? excuse me I am right here

"She is my fiancee"

"Oh, she almost smells like a human maybe I am mistaken, what is your name dearie?" she asked I started blinking profusely. I was not sure she would actually acknowledge me but I was wrong.

"My name is Winter Cameron, and I am a human"

"Oh," she walked away giving Xavier a little courtesy and sending a nod in my direction.

"Keep saying that to scare them away" Xavier laughed "shall we"

"We shall" he led me to his father who was standing with a group of men who looked exactly the same age as him.

"Father" he bowed "elders of the council" he bowed towards them and they nodded, I added a courtesy because I didn't want to feel left out.

"Xavier, I didn't think you would remember that you were a prince" he motioned to his crown, Xavier smiled awkwardly and I squeezed his hand, it was glaring that he was trying hard to refrain from giving out a sarcastic comment

"Where is mother?" he asked

"Winter you look beautiful tonight, thank you for gracing this occasion with your presence" I looked back to see if he was talking to another winter behind me "you" Xavier was still healing his wounds after his father just ignored him.

"OH, thank you, your highness, you look handsome as well happy birthday God bless you" I don't know why I said that. Everyone in the room turned to look at me as if the walls bounced back that word. Xavier turned to look at me, his face asked only one thing. WHY?

"What?" every freaking member of the council asked me

"God will not bless you it was a slip of the tongue" I was certain that I was going to be the talk of the whole of heaven even the crystals in the lake would be snickering when I look at my reflection.

"Ignore her," Lucifer said and everyone went to do what they were doing before my little slip-up

"So Winter and I would be dancing far, far away from you and we will meet at the dinner table" I swear Lucifer wanted to strangle me, he had that look on his face. Xavier led me away and he cocked his had to the side.

"You could have said a million other things in the world, you could have called my father a bastard and you decided to say God bless you, shame on you" he shook his head at me playfully.
