King Elizabeth the tenth

I met Steve from a bookshop, we were both browsing - looking for our next read. “Oh no, not that one” we kept on saying to each other when he or I touch a book that he or I already read, and it was not good. That is how we met. He introduced himself, so did I. He caught my attention as we had similar taste in books.

I purchased my book, when to the coffee shop next door, to read the first chapter of my book. While I was busy enjoying the first page of the book, I heard this “Excuse me miss” individual. It sounded like he was close enough, all to find out he was in front of me and talking to me “I can see you are already glued to it. May I join you”, we had a great chat and we exchanged number as we agreed that will meet again for coffee. I realized later that it was a date, a coffee date. We kept on texting each other, we would quote texts from books we already read – I would laugh about it and think about it all day. It was our way communicating.

I enjoyed it. I fell in love with his personality. The way he spoke, the voice and the vocabulary. I swear he read a lot of books and he sounded like he was of royal blood – the choices of words and the things he knew.

He finally asked me out on a date, in my mind we were dating already. You cannot blame me; he was my prince charming he was such a charmer. He had manners, his table etiquette, he knew what to order and gave clear instructions on how he wants it. He knew how to behave; he was like a character from the game of thrones. He handled himself like a gentleman, he was a gentleman. Time went by, we were officially dating. We liked each other. He was so sweet and romantic.

Finally told my friend about him. Let me tell you something about my friend, she is so forward and a stalker. She did her things, turns out my Steve is not Steve. Yes, he is indeed royalty. He is Edward his royal name. I was shocked by this discovery. I wanted to act as if I did not know this. My friend and I even had a code name for him ‘King Elizabeth the tenth’ – Elizabeth as in Queen Elizabeth the Queen of England, and since he is not a lady, King hence King Elizabeth. The ten is the bloodline of him and her queen.

I could not help myself, so I finally asked him. He said he did not want to disclose that because people once they know that they run away. It gives pressure to people and to him. And he further explained that he was not getting money from the royalty since he is not doing any royal duties. He wanted to be a normal person. The behavior of people when they find out of what he is, he does not like it.

I clearly understood, since my dad is a pastor and people treat you different because you are a pastor’s kid. Ridiculous I tell you.

I joked about how I should I address him. “His majority”, we had a great laughter. I cannot believe I am in love with someone from the royal house. I hope it lasts so that I can meet the Queen ha-ha, I hope she is not mean as they say she is.

THE END!
