Audrey

I saw my mother come my way. I had a champagne glass in hand. She was beaming with excitement. When she came to me. She whispered in my ear, “Your father informed me that he has arrived at the ball. Good luck my dear.” She then patted my back and she went to her group of friends.

Fuck! He has arrived. I tried finding my best friends, Camilla and Sidney. Where are you? In fear of my plan failing, my hand started shaking. I could no longer hold on to the champagne glass. I set the glass on the nearby table and decided to first take a strong drink. My heart started pounding. I could feel it very clearly from all the noise around me.

Oh! Where are you both? I thought of the keys I gave my friends. I asked the bartender for a strong drink, he said, “Your highness, I am under strict order to not give any Princess a strong drink.” He said. Oh my nerves, I slammed my hand on the table: “I am Princess Audrey. You are under my orders to give me a drink.” I said I was trying hard to maintain some good sense of self. Because I was losing it. This bartender was clearly trying to get a tongue lashing from me.

He handed a man sitting next to me, a scotch. Fuck you! I took that glass and drank it in a go. “You clearly were in need of it more than me.” He said. That was when I decided to look at the man. “Thank you, I am a little anxious right now.” I said explaining. He gestured for the bartender to make him another drink.

“Understandable!” He said and as his drink came in he offered it to me. “Let your worries be carried away.” He then clicked his glass with mine and I tried to drink it slowly. My eyes landed on Camilla looking at a man from a distance.

Seeing her, I drank it whole and decided to go to her. Without even paying the gentleman a second glance I made my way to her. “What are you doing? What about our plan? Where is Sidney?” I asked her in haste. Looking at my panicked state she knew what was going on.

Camilla waved at Sidney and she came in haste. “Is everything going according to plan? I might have to speed it all up.” I asked quietly. Making sure that nobody was eves-dropping.

They both handed me keys. Fuck! Two different keys. I quickly made my way to my chambers. I started pacing in the room. What if everything ended up not going as planned?

I quickly shifted my focus from thinking to acting. Okay, I have this nightdress. I changed into that and decided to wear an overcoat to keep others from knowing what I was about to do.

When I was dressed, I started going to the hallway where a man should be. A man picked by my friends for this evil plan. I went to the room in which I was to enter.

I took the keys out. What the hell! I had five keys in hand. Fuck! fuck! Audrey, you cannot fuck it all up at the end. I decided to try all the keys. My hands were shaking. What if he said no? What if he did not agree to be compromised? In my nervous state I dropped the keys. “Open! Open! Please open. I do not have time.” In which room was I? I quickly looked around. The third room of the corridor. Yes, but why were the keys not working?

I tried all of them. My last hope was with this left key. If this did not open then I am fucked. I tried turning the lock, my hands were shaking uncontrollably making it hard for me to rotate it. It did open. Oh! Thank heavens.

I entered the room. I saw him standing by the window. So, he has agreed. When he turned I let go of my overcoat. The moon was shining but I could not see his features clearly. He was wearing his clothes and had a glass in hand. He took a quick sip and left it on the nightstand. When he reached me. I could see his features in the dim light. He was a broad tall man. But how come he wasn’t married? He looked so handsome with sharp features. I could feel his eyes roam on my body. My cheeks flushed.

“I think you have…” before he could say anything to make me leave. I ran to him and jumped. He did catch me perfectly. When he did, his lips formed a smile, “what on earth are you doing?” He asked. I met his lips with mine. I took hold of his head. He groaned. Then he kissed me deeply. Trying to open my mouth with his tongue. When I did, his tongue stroked mine.

He slammed me on bed and started opening his shirt. His eyes were locked on mine. I could not wait for him to open his shirt so I got up and tore it, to open it quickly.

“You are so wicked!” He replied, chuckling. He then went to bed. Instead of meeting my lips he kissed my neck. He sucked on it hard. I moaned in pleasure. I never thought that a man’s touch could be this enchanting. He then slowly trailed kisses down my body.

“I want you!” I whispered. He came up to me and kissed me again. I could feel his hands touching my breasts. He groaned in my mouth. He then let my strips of nightdress fall. He took my nipple in his mouth.

That was when I heard some voices coming. Oh! It is going to work perfectly well for me. “Come here!” I said touching his hair and pulling him to me. “You irresistible little thing.” Then he kissed me.

The door flew open. I pretended to fake a gasp. I then realised my breasts were out of my dress. I quickly covered myself with a blanket. He froze.

“Audrey? How could you do such a thing to us?” Mother said while coming to pour the light on us. My eyes fell on the man’s face. Oh! Good god! He was devastatingly handsome. Such a pity now he had to marry me for my reputation. My cheeks flushed at the thought.
