Tina was inside Prince Mario’s castle. It was huge. There were about 300 guests and she only knew a few. She was happy Helena was here also. Not because it would be boring without her but she had to concentrate on something other than Elisabeth.

She had chosen a summer dress because it was hot this time of the year in Italy. It was pink with little; white flowers and she had silver heels on. Her hair was in a braid and she had light make-up on.

“Hey, Tina, look who entered.” Helena elbowed Tina and pointed to the door. Tina looked over and her jaw almost hit the floor. Elisabeth was wearing a red dress that was cut mid-thigh and had a little cleavage. She had her hair loose and she had dark red lip stick on. Tina couldn’t breathe for a long amount of time, her whole body and mind was focused on Elisabeth Porter. Elisabeth’s friends, which were walking behind her, said something to her and walked to the free food and drinks.

Elisabeth looked around and saw Tina and Helena sitting on one of the large sofa’s that were in the giant living room. She thought Tina looked very pretty and hoped it wasn’t too obvious she was amazingly attracted to the blonde-haired woman.

-*-Elisabeth-*-

I walk to Tina, trying to get my nerves under control. I stop in front of her and smile, she gets up.

“Hey, Tina.”

She hugs me and it felt amazing. I had missed her.

“Hey, Bette. How are you?” She asks.

“I’m fine. You?” I want to know.

“I’m great.”

Suddenly I see Helena watching me with a look that says I’m-here-to.

“Oh, hi Helena.” I say, slightly embarrassed that I hadn’t even looked at her yet.

“Hi, Elisabeth.” She says, a smile appearing on her face. I see Prince Mario walking towards me.

“Princess Elisabeth, so nice to see you again.” He says, taking my hand and placing a kiss on it.

“Quit the princess stuff, Mario. Nice to see you again. How are you?” I ask him. He smiles at me.

“I’m fine and you?”

“Very good.” I say.

“Oh, I see Princess Nicolette arrived. I’m going over.”

“See you around then.”
