Love Me As I Am novel Chapter 51

"What are you wearing?" I asked and stared at Beatrice and mom.

"Oliver is Beatrice personal bodyguard," mom spat and I gasped. Beatrice has a thing for Ollie and I know that she'll find a way to make him hers and I can't do anything about it.

"How could you do that?" I whispered. "I don't think you can tell me what not or what to do," mom said while Beatrice smirked. Me and Beatrice aren't really close.

I hastily turned to Ollie and smiled, "I missed you " I whispered, knowing fully well that if mom hears me she's gonna kill me. "Me too," he smiled and I bit my lips. He makes me blush just by smiling. Is it me or is this room getting hot.

"Excuse me?" mom yelled. Oh no. She heard us. She walked to us slowly, each step she took cut my breath.

"It seems like you all aren't leaving anymore," Mr Howard voice echoed in the room and we all turned to him. He just saved and because of that, I gave him a thank you kind of smile.

"We will be on our way now," mom smile and I almost yawned. Again 'almost'. I admit the conversation is boring but I can't yawn, mom's gonna kill me. She say that it's disrespectful and I somehow agree, a bit.

"Ollie is riding with me," Beatrice smirked. Calm your nerves Anne. She shouldn't get under your skin.

I forced out a smile and was about to say something but Luke cut in off, "He's staying with me."

"Why?" Beatrice busted. Wow she looks an a....... No, breathe gently Anne. Deep breath.

"I don't think he should see her dress and I want him to help me out too, since Anne knows him." he stated. I know what he's doing he's trying to make Ollie stay with him so that Beatrice won't try anything funny.

He turned to my mom, "Of course, it's if her royal highness accepts, " Luke said and I smirked.

"I am her royal highness," I smiled and he smiled too. The smile that makes a girl go nuts. Don't get me wrong, I am just admitting that he is cute. My heart remains with Ollie forever.

"Don't get me wrong, her royal highness," he tsked and I giggled. Is he trying to flirt with me. My mom will be happy with this, it's definitely one of his plan.

"Can you both do this later, maybe in private," mom bit back a smile. I knew she would like it, but Oliver doesn't seem to like it. He has a strange look on his face.

Luke led Oliver upstairs, probably to his room. I make my leave after some minutes. I have to see Oliver.

"I don't think you should go," mom argued and I held myself from groaning. "Yes, I think you just want to see Oliver. Maybe you and Luke planned it," Beatrice said and I almost rolled my eyes.

"Why would I do that? Like mom said, it's bad luck to see him before the wedding and he's probably in his room with Oliver and his father, getting ready to go out or they'll call for shipping," I stated and they seemed to be buying it so I continued.

"We are going out. As a princess, I ought to look presentable," the smile on mom face grew. "For my own liking," I chirped in and her smile disappeared.

The last thing I want is for her to dress me up like a.. I don't know what to call it. I just want to dress freely.
