Jane

*Bartenia Palace*

"A good morning to you lady Jane, please sit while I inform the prince that you're here"

She was served a cup of tea which she sipped slowly until Damian joined her.

"What's up?" he asked as he sat next to her

"You didn't tell me Princess Diamond is back"

"You're not friends with her or anything like that so, why bother?"

"Do you like her?"

"Are you serious right now? we're friends"

"Just friends?"

"You've gotta be kidding me. How've you been Jane?"

"You're ignoring my question"

"That's a dumb question, like, I just met her yesterday for the first time in 12 years"

"You two were quiet close as kids so..."

"So?"

"I think I should be worried"

"You're being serious right now. Its 9am, you really wanna start the day like this?"

"Then apologize to me"

"Hold on, wait, what? why?"

"You didn't tell me she paid a visit, that raised suspicions"

Damian sat back and rolled his eyes.

"Wanna go to the gym with me? I'm free till this afternoon" he said

"I'm hungry and I hate working out. You know that"

"Then lets go grab some food. We'll do whatever you want today, just until 3pm though"

She smiled then picked her purse,

"Let's go" she said.

"What next?" asked Damian. They'd just finished eating and were headed towards his car.

"Let's get a pedicure, I need to get my hair done too. I want to cut it"

"What, your hair? why?"

"Washing it at this length is becoming a hassle" she said as she pushed back strands of hair from her face.

"Well, I think you'd look good in any hairstyle"

She blushed

"Shall we?" he said as he pulled the car door open, she entered and he followed.

Just when he was about to drive off, his phone rang.

"Yes mom"

"Damian honey, we need your help"

"We?"

"Well you see, Diamond's parents just called. Sophie delivered yesterday"

"That's great news, but why do you need my help"

"Well, they've gone over to see her and Diamond couldn't join them cause she has a cold. Wouldn't want the new baby to be exposed to..."

"What is it mom?" he interrupted

"Her parents are worried since she's alone and are wondering if you could go over"

"Aren't there any servants around?"

"There are but Diamond just returned, they all would still be quite strange to her and she'd feel more comfortable with someone she's close to. I'd go but I and your father are very busy"

"Diamond and I are no longer close mom"

"Well don't you want to fix that?"

"What about my appointment by three?"

"I handled it"

"Mom"

"She's sick honey, aren't you worried?"

"I'm on my way"

"Good, I'll get the jet ready"

He took a deep breath and turned to Jane.

"I'm really sorry, I have to get back home"

"Is this related to Diamond?"

"She's sick and there's no one to take care of her"

"What about the million guards and servants at the palace?"

"She just came back, I'm pretty sure she'd feel more comfortable with someone she's known for a while"

"What about her parents?"

"Let me drop you off at the salon, text me when you're done and I'll send someone to pick you up"

"Damian"

"I'm sorry Jane, I really am but it can't be helped"

"It can, you could just decide to stay with me"

"I'm sorry" he said again and drove off.

2 hours later

"What's up?" asked Becca, Jane's best friend.

"I really hate princess Diamond"

"Princess Diamond? Darchenland's princess Diamond? why? she's a pretty decent person"

"She's friends with Damian"

"So? she always has been"

"Exactly. And now that she's back, its pissing me off. I wish I could just confront her and ask her to stay away from him"

"You want to confront the princess for being friends with your boyfriend?"

"Yea, so?"

"First, that's immature and secondly, princess Diamond is way out of your league. Don't push your luck Jane"
