He is sweet and funny, caring, and compassionate, most of all I am falling in love with him, much quicker than I had expected. I love the way he speaks to me with kindness, love, and patience, he isn't demanding or aggressive.
"Did you enjoy the sushi?" he asks as he traces his finger down my bare arm.
I nodded, "I did thank you."
"I should be thanking you for coming."
I giggle, "Well, in that case, it was my pleasure."
"Can I kiss you again?"
It must be the wine talking but I nod, missing his lips on mine, "Yes."
He leans forward and gently places his lips on mine, my body tingles and I place my hands on his thighs, he pulls me closer to deepen the kiss.
I can get used to this I think as I wrap my arms around his neck, I feel his hands move down to my waist, he pulls away and I frown.
What could it be this time?
"Penny, you vixen," he says lowly with a smirk.
My cheeks heat up, "I'm sorry."

“What are you doing with my phone?”I walk over to him and grab the phone out of his hand.He sighs, “I’m sorry Penny, I didn’t mean to. Why didn’t you tell me that you got fired?”I look down, “It wasn’t important.”“Penelope, look at me,” he commands.I look at him and he’s guilty eyes stare into mine.“It is important baby; this was your job,” he says.“I know, I honestly didn’t think about telling you.”He looks hurt.I frown, “I’m sorry.”“No, I’m sorry.

Goddamit, seriously.I apologise to Penny and walk to the door.“Leave Sonja, I told you that I want nothing to do with your crazy self,” I yell through the door.“You don’t mean that Henry,” she wines.“Henry Crawford open this door, right now!”I knew it, I fucking knew it.I open the door and find Sonja standing next to my father with a little smirk on her face.“Father, I don’t have time for your games.”My father looks over my shoulders and gives a disapproving look.“I see you’re sleeping with the help again.”“Excuse me!”“Henry, you need to-”I hear a door slam behind me and turn around and Penelope is no longer behind me.“That is no way to speak to my queen,” I fume, “I don’t care who you are, I will not tolerate people disrespecting my woman like that.”

I could not believe what his father is saying about him, it is all a lie, Henry was only defending me."Penelope, what happened?" Aunt Linda asks.Lie, lie, Penelope, lie."Henry's father insulted me, he called me the help and a whore, Henry got mad and punched him in the face, that's all that happened Nana, I swear, don't be mad at me," I ramble in a frantic panic.Nana sits down beside me and sighs, "Calm down baby, calm down, I believe you.""Really?""Of course, Jeffrey has always been racist.""I didn't think he'd do this to his own son," I frown

That's a new one."Wait, you're marrying him now?" Ashby roars, "You barely know the guy, Penny.""First of all, I'm not marrying him yet, secondly I'm helping him get out of this mess that I created," she says calmly.I try not to grin when she says that there is hope for both of us to become more."Penny, this isn't for you, you weren't made for things like this."Penny looks at Ashby with her mouth ajar, I can tell by the look in her eyes that she's hurt.Ashby does not seem to care at all."I can handle this Ashby, and as my friend, I thought you

"Oh no," I whisper, I look up at Henry and he's already looking at me with the same look of shock on his face."I know you didn't do it, baby, stay calm and I'll get you out of here, okay?" he says and kisses my forehead."Archie, Code Red, you know what to do," Henry says, Archie nods before turning around and walks out of the auditorium.Henry clears his throat before leaning forward closer to the microphone, "It seems as though someone has been spreading rumours about my girlfriend. Let me remind you that I am the King of Crawford, my father may have tolerated it but I certainly won't allow people to disrespect me and my kingdom by making unsubstantiated proof, understood?""But your highness –"Understood!" he says loudly.Mr Williams jumps and nods, "Yes, your royal highness.""Now, everybody leaves, we will continue this meeting at a later stage," he says and he sits back into his chair.I look over at him and I can feel his anger radiating off his body.

"Mom, I know what dad is trying to do and I can't believe he would do this to me," I say frustratedly.'Honey, I'm sorry about your father, I really thought I had gotten through to him.' She replies."I know you did your best mom, it's not your fault. Have you heard from him?"'No dear, he's probably off on his escapades or whatever he gets up to.'My mother knew that my father has always been unfaithful and the likelihood of him having children out there is high but we haven't heard anything about that. My mother could never find it within her to leave him, after decades of marriage, I'd find it hard to leave too."You don't have to stay with him mom, you can leave him and Chris and I will look after you, you know, that right?"I hear her sniff, she's crying, 'I know Henry but I'm doing this for you,""You don't have to mom; I don't care about this stupid monarchy and I can look after you with or without the throne."'I have to go; we'll talk soon, okay?'I sigh, "Okay mom, I love yo
