75 Short-lived affair

"By the way, are we truly staying at a palace?" Jacky turned her face to Marcus, whose eyes were closed. "Hey, wake up." She bugged him as he continued to ignore her question.

"Yes. We are." He finally answered her without opening his eyes.

He was not sleeping, but he just wanted some rest because the past week had been tedious. He was looking forward to this celebration since it would also be his long-needed vacation.

"Have you been in the palace?" She wondered excitedly. She had not seen a real palace before. Only the picture on fairy tale books, magazines, and google.

She could already imagine what the party would be like as she looked forward to seeing a grand celebration. She was already expecting to meet several famous personalities, celebrities, and even royals during the party. 

"Yes, a few times." He finally opened his eyes and looked at her. "It's just a big hotel with many rooms." He teased Jacky, who scowled her face at his statement.
