"Finale Part I" Chapter 5

A/N Important!

Hi guys sorry for not uploading I owe all of you an apology. However I do not wish to continue this fanfic. I have another wmmap fanfic if you click on my profile you'll find it! I'm however, continue that fanfic and the other stories I have. This fanfic feels rushed and I feel like has my old writing style and not my current and reading this now feels weird I feel like I didn't update it according this. And I just keep on rushing these chapters. 

So, I will finish this story in one or two go's! I tried making this longer so, ya'll could enjoy!

Also 3k+ views? Tysm!

I also quit this chapter for quite awhile sorry! I just have massive writers block or plots that wont work on this chapter. 

Also want me to do a few side story chapters? On their future and stuff like that. After "Final" finishes!

The tea party ended a few hours after Lucas arrived. The boys left early and me and Jennette stayed and packed up everything. Soon after, we finished we talked all the way to our carriage. The conversation was enjoyable and we continued to converse our way to the Duke's residence where I dropped Jenette off at the ducal residence and left for the Emerald palace. 

Once I had arrived I decided to bathe and head to rest.

I thought about my feelings and my relationship with Lucas a lot. In the past when I was an orphan I didn't have time to date. I was busy always trying to make money so, I could survive. But he has a crush on someone right?...At least that's what I concluded....

My thoughts we're getting out of hand and stressful so, I decided to head to rest. I closed my eyes and thought about Lucas but before I could complain I already fell asleep. 

I woke up the next day really late but I still felt tired. I decided to stay in today. I read all day trying to avoid any lingering thoughts I had left from last night. I did not need the anxiety and worry about that for now. 

I did this for a few days. But I knew I couldn't avoid my feelings forever.... At least for Lucas because we see each other daily.. It would be hard for me not to admit that I already miss him and it's been 3 days. My birthdays coming soon so I don't need to worry much that's what I thought....

A few days more have passed since I admitted to myself that I had feelings for Lucas... I mean I can sort this out. If he likes someone else then I'll ask him... Indirectly of course! I'm not that confident about my feelings anyway! It took my awhile to confirm that this exactly is a crush but today I was sure! Especially with these thoughts of mine.

I closed the book in my hand. I needed a new distraction and a good one that is. 

Suddenly, a thought crossed my mind! My birthday! That's it...! 

I'll go birthday shopping with Jenette. We can buy our dresses for my birthday banquet together! And then shop for accessories. Go on mini trips! It's the perfect distraction from this crush I have! Yes. I'm genius!..

My belly began to groan. Well geniuses need to eat don't they? I crackled a bit at my own joke. I then head down to the kitchen to ask the chef to prepare a meal for me.

After, the meal I went my room and took a bath. It felt nice to freshen up especially, when you have a gigantic bathtub!.. Or a pool... it looks more like a pool no one can change my mind on that factor at all. I mean if I we're to show someone in the 21st century they would agree too. Soon I was finished with my bath. I took longer then usual since, I wanted to clear up my thoughts about this situation regarding crushes and everything in general. 

When I was dressed in comfy cloths or pajama's I decided to write a letter or two to Jenette. I explained everything in my letters. Well everything except anything about my little crush on Lucas. 

"Phew! I'm finally finished." I yawned out. I began to take deep breaths I felt a bit anxious since it felt like I was using Jenette. But technically I'm not using her this is normal for us anyways! If I hadn't asked we'd probably rush our plans and doing this alone won't be distracting at all! 

I began to decorate my letter. This was the fun part. After doing so I put the letter in a decorative letter and stamped on my seal. I then put a spell that would let the letter reach Jenette by tomorrow morning. In conclusion, we would be starting faster. I ended up also telling her to visit for tea the day after tomorrow. I just felt like it. We both haven't talked much before the picnic and its already been a few days after the picnic as well. 

All these thoughts made me feel a full? I couldn't explain it. Thinking itself had left me tired and depressed. And what do we do when we feel tired and depressed? Well there's three things. 

1. Stress eats no matter how full.

2. Sleep it out. 

3. Read something to distract my mind but end up falling asleep.

And since eating more right now would make me look weird sleep is the best option. Plus it's already very late. I decided to read a novel while I was at it. And if anyone came inside it wouldn't be odd since, I read to sleep on a daily basis. 

I head to my bed. I placed my book on the nightstand as I got to a comfortable seating position. Then I proceeded on grabbing my book. I started reading the chapter I left of on. I finished a couple chapters and I started dosing off. So, I decided to turn of my lamp and head to sleep. 

Fast forward to when Jenette comes over.

"Hello Princess!" Jenette said as she excitedly ran over to the tea area already in her out door gear. 

"Hey!" I smiled. I knew she would come already so, I had dressed up before hand. 

"Sit down. Here!" I pointed to the seat beside me and Jenette sat down.

"Thank you for inviting me you're highness!" She looked at me with a bright face.

I smiled at her and replied "No worries! You're my cousin anyways and I told you to address me as Athy remember!" 

She smiled very brightly "Okay Athy!" 

The next two hours we're spend on us eating, talking, and planning our schedule. It was fun talking to Jenette she was such a bright ball of sunshine it's very easy to talk with her. Not to mention how understanding and helpful she can be. Our conversation continued until someone knocked on the door of my greenhouse.

"Yes, come in!" I said insisting they hurry.

"Greetings you're highness Princess Anthanasia and Lady Jenette!" It was a knight. He bowed down to show courtesy. 

We greeted him back.

The knight then continued.  "The carriage for you both is prepared to leave. The coachman is waiting outside for you both. When you're ready to leave please come outside. And call for me if you need assistance with you're bags!" 

Jenette answered for me "We don't have much on us! So, we don't need any assistance and well be leaving right away!" 

I nodded showing that I agreed and then we both took our bags and head outside. 

"Jenette why don't you get on first!" I said.

"Sure! I don't see why not to." She replied getting on to the carriage. She then helped me get up on the carriage. 

We once again continued our conversation. And I got so caught of guard that I told her about my feelings for Lucas and how much issue's it's causing me. And the whole situation in general.

She replied very positively to my problems and said "I might not be good with love but feel free to rely on me when needed Athy! Like you said we're cousins after all" 

She seemed more happy that I was able to rely on her and trust her enough to tell her my problems and thoughts. 

It felt nice knowing I could rely on her. "Then you can rely on me when you need to as well Jenette!" I said.

She nodded happily. 

We talked more about books we read and things we wish to do. There was much more things left to discuss and it was quite a long ride till we get to the boutique we usually go to. So, It's better to have many topics to talk about. 

When we had reached the boutique we both felt sick to the stomach. Good thing we had cold water. It was such a rough drive here if we didn't have any thing to cool down our stomach's we would've throwed up.

(Yes I took another few day break from this. I have a live to! You know? And yes the sentence was not completed I had to come back and finish it)

We took a few moments to get of our carriage. As we needed to compose ourselves first. We had reached the front door where someone greeted us happily and escorted us to a private dressing room. Most high ranking nobles or royalty have the privilege of getting a private room immediately as they come in or if they leave a note where as lower ranking nobles have to book and appointment. It also depends on richer or poorer.

When we went in the private room we we're greeted by the staff who would be helping us with dress picking. They also prepared a snack table filled with drinks. Not alcohol but fine drinks suitable for us. Since it was not tea time it was other drinks including lemonade and freshly made cold drinks and if needed we could request room temperature. Although it's hot outside so, it is definitely not needed at all. 

We both sat down on the large sofa in the room. Soon enough the staff brought out the dresses which are trendy now-a-days. They showed us many of different colours, some with ruffles, some not, some with lace, some with trimmings, and some a bit... freestyle?... I can't really say... But they all we're pretty unique.

Jenette decided she should chose first. I didn't care since I had no idea of what I wanted but she did. And we spent a good full hour just choosing her dress. She ended up choosing a ruffled dress in a reddish brown colour maurine to be exact.

(Sorry if I spelt it wrong.)

We moved on to my dress. This was difficult I didn't know what exactly I wanted. So, in other words it took a very very long time to find my dress......

I breathed in out. "That took a while..." I said tiredly.

"Yeah.." Jenette replied. 

We both we're worn out. I did not expect shopping of all things to make me this tired but it did. We decided it would be best if we ate dinner out as not to trouble the staff back at the castle since Jenette was planning on staying for dinner. 

Jenette suggested a place she used to go to. It wasn't that far so, walking there would be fine. The staff took our measurements then we set up our order and when we would pick it up. We also added some custom touches just to be extra. We then paid for our orders and began to leave. 

(Mini timeskip yes I took a mini few day break here)

We had arrived and was seated at a table for two. Soon enough an waiter came and handed us the menu's as he waited patiently for us to look at the menu and our answer to what we'd like to have for dinner. I found what I wanted on the list and ordered it. However, Jenette took quite awhile. She wanted to try lots of thinks but she couldn't eat that much. The waiter took our orders and left after informing us how long our order would take. 

We on the other hand did not mind at the long time it will take to cook the food and ended up enjoying a conversation about how we want our future to go and so much more! 

Soon our food arrived.

We began eating and then we suddenly had that conversation. 

"Hey Jenette... Do you like Ijekiel?" I asked carefully. I realized her reactions and many movements near him! Not to mention they got together in the novel as well so, I felt a bit curios. I mean it's not like her answer would hurt anyone. At least that's what I thought.

"..." 

P.S. Many people make Jenette the bad guy and honestly I'm on half and half about her but in my book I wanted a sibling love (Not incest it's family love) relationship between them.

To be continued...

I was gonna do this in one go but as you see it's hard but this is extra long so--
