26 Prince Charming { 3 }

I closed my eyes and can't help, but smile a little.

I heard a bag rustling and a bow opening sound.

"Done?" I asked, impatiently.

"Almost and don't peek." he said.

I could feel someone behind me and leaning foreword.

The heat from Cole's body near my me was making my heart beat.

I could feel something cool and smooth going around my neck.

I could hear a little clasp.

"Open your eyes now." he said.

My hand flew to my neck and I looked down. I gasped, it was simple and beautiful necklace, it has the letter J on it.

"It's really simple and I didn't really know what to get you, like, you know." Cole said and scratched his neck.

I grinned and said, "I loved the necklace, it's beautiful."

"Oh," he said and blushed a little.

The parfaits came and Cole took his seat.

"Let's dig in!" I said and started eating.

"Mmmmh," It's really good. "Oh, yeah, Cole, you're hired as my ballroom dancing teacher and Ben is FIRED!" I said, smiling.

Cole chuckled, "$100 for an hour!"

I gasped, "An hour? Than, I quit!" We both laughed.

"GIRLS AND BOYS!" Mrs. George said, walking into the dining room with Ryan and Ali behind her.

The 4 inch high heel created a high pitch click-clock sound on the marble floor.

Ryan and Ali took a seat and groaned a little.

I looked at Ryan to see what was wrong and right away he looked at my neck.

His eyes looked like they were about to pop out of his socket and his eye looked at my finger quickly.

Mrs. George clapped her hand loudly and flaunted her thousand dollar smile.

"Ok, I got good news." she said in her super high pitch voice, "I thought that the Night of Engagement for Ryan and Jennifer should be pushed to an early day."

All of the eyes flew to Ryan and me.

Still eating my parfait, I can feel the piece of fruit that I was chewing in my mouth getting stuck in the middle of throat and my eyes widened. I choked on the fruit and coughed, while Ryan cleared his throat, sounding very uncertain.

"Is everything ok?" Mrs. George asked, like she doesn't see the problem.

She looked at me and sighed, "I know I am pushing you to the limit, - arrange marriage, ballroom dancing and making the Night of the Engagement early - but everything is going to be perfectly fine, ok darling?"

I reluctantly nodded and smiled like everything was perfectly fine too.

She turned to Ryan and said, "And Ryan, it's not that bad, ok? Just trust me, ok?" Ryan just raised both of his eyebrows and shrugged. "And as for Alice and Cole, I will start thinking about your wedding." Mrs. George said dreamily and smiled.

She sighed, clasping her hand.

"Ok, now darling, go back to what you were doing, ok? Oh, by the way, that was the good news." she said.

Before she walking out, she turned and looked at me. "Jennifer, come to my room, please."

I sighed. 'Oh, boy!'

'IT'S NOT GOING TO BE BAD... I THINK' Adrianne said.

'Yeep' I said sarcastically.

'AND PUSHING THE NIGHT OF THE ENGAGEMENT IS NOT GOING TO BE THAT BAD.'Adrianne noticed my disappointment.

' It will be pretty bad' I sighed.

'NO, HE IS YOUR MATE AND YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE HIM, I PROMISE.' Adrianne promised.

I got up and followed Mrs. George upstairs.

"Sit, darling." Mrs. George said, when I was in her office.

I sat on one of the chairs and I fold my hands together, I squeezed them really tight together.

"Jennifer, I know you are having some difficulties with Ryan, so I decided that I am going to push you and Ryan together, like, more together." Mrs. George said.

I stared at her, really confused, how did she know about me and Ryan not being so close together? I have to give her credit for knowing it.

"So how are you going to do that?" I asked. I squeezed my hands tighter.

Mrs. George giggled and sighed, "Like what they do in modern days. Go on a date."

"A date?" I asked.

"Yeah, a date."

"Where?"

"Anywhere you and him want to go. I am going to let you decide." Mrs. George said.

I hold in a sigh and an gave an eye roll.

"And don't worry, you're going to love him." she grinned.

'That's what EVERYONE says.' I uttered to myself.

"Ok, that's it for today." Mrs. George said, "Oh, yeah, the date is tomorrow, so wear something nice and don't worry, Valerie, Sunny, Vicky and Beth is going to help you. Ok, bye darling."

I got up and rolled my eyes when my back was facing towards her.

I got out of the office and I sighed. OH, GREAT!!! A DATE COMING RIGHT UP!!! I thought.
