RECAP
"Countess!" My assistant greeted. "He uhh-choked on a sandwich.
Countess. Fucking Countess!
That bitch actually had the fucking nerve to come near me? I was angry! I was livid!
Ready to tear her head off, I quickly whipped around to start my vicious assault, but I was given the shock of my life when I saw her face.
"Huh?"
She smiled brightly at me. "Hello Alex!"
It wasn't Raven who was here, it was Rachel!

Chapter 31 – The Christmas Float Parade Pt 2
My previously murderous expression turned into one of shock and surprise as I gazed at the smiling face of my elder cousin.
“Rachel?” I looked at her incredulously. “What are you doing here? Why are you even here?”
She tilted her head to side, as if in amusement of my question. “I always attend the Edensville Christmas Float, I'm usually the royal that takes part in it. But when I heard that you will be heading the parade for the first time, I just had to come and see it for myself. You did a pretty good job up there by the way!” She complimented.
“Thanks...I guess,” I warily looked at her.
Something doesn't feel right here. Rachel and I weren't on as bad terms as Raven and I, but we still weren't exactly “buddy-buddy”. I used to curse and snap at her every so often, but she'd just immediately shut up and not retort back. Before now, she'd never made an attempt to come up and talk to me on her own, especially not with such a broad smile.
“He-Hey there Countessy!” Landon, who I forgot was standing next to me, dreamily sighed as he stared at Rachel in complete adoration.
She giggled like a school girl at him before tucking a lock of her ebony tresses behind her ear. “Hey,” She smiled shyly.
I looked back and forth between the two, absolutely dumb-founded at the scenario that was unfolding before my eyes. It was obvious that Landon was very attracted to my cousin, who I have to admit is very beautiful, but I was more shocked at Rachel being attracted to Landon than anything else!
I've seen and unfortunately met a few of Rachel's past boyfriends, and they were all the same, Adonis looking geniuses who came from filthy rich heritage and had a certain playboy aura about them. Now, not that Landon isn't handsome, because he is in his own unique way, but the boy is stupider than my left shoe! It doesn't really seem like he comes from a rich family, and even though he's a flirt, he's also a sweetheart; like when a young boy tries to flirt with a grown woman, it's sort of cute.
“I'm Landon,” He pushed passed me and stuck out his hand towards Rachel. “You're really pretty!”
Slowly grasping his hand in hers, she shook it as she continued to turn red as a tomato in the face. “Thank you, you're pretty handsome yourself! I'm Rachel by the way!”
“Rachel,” Landon once again sighed moonily as he stared into her dark chocolate eyes. “That's a beautiful name,”
Oh God! This is disgusting! I feel as if I just stepped into some kind crappy teenage love story!
“Well, I'll let you two get acquainted,” I faked smiled as I backed away from the dopey-eyed duo. “I'm going somewhere where you two don't disgust me,”
But they didn't even hear me, they were two caught up in each other. Ugh, it was disgusting! Someone get a fire extinguisher!
“Princess!” My assistant called after me as I walked as far away from the “lovely” couple as I possibly could.
“What?” I turned to look at him with a raised eyebrow. “And this better be important because I'm trying to get any from those two,”
“Well,” He started rubbing the back of his neck. “You have a few visitors who are insistent on seeing you.”
My face distorted into one of confusion. “Visitors? What visitors?”
As if on cue, the shrill sounding shriek of my most dearest friend resounded through the air. I barely had enough to turn around before I saw a glimpse of pink hurdling towards me, effectively tackling me to the hard floor. “ALEX!” She screamed in delight as she rubbed her face against mine. “Look at you! You look so gorgeous!”
“Pinky,” I started in a deathly calm tone. “Get.Off.Of.Me!”
Her peach painted lips pouted as her navy eyes stared into my cerulean ones. “I came all the way from the capital and had to push past security just to see you and that's how you greet me?”
“YOU'RE SITTING ON ME AND MY NEARLY MILLION DOLLAR DRESS PINKY! HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO REACT!”
It was then that she actually looked around at her surroundings and realize that she was in fact sitting on my torso, effectively crushing me. “Oh gosh! I'm sorry, I was just so excited to see you because I've missed you so much,”She said before helping me back into a standing position.
I've only been gone for like two weeks and I talk to you everyday, just how much could you have possibly missed me?
“How did you even get past security?” I narrowed my eyes at her. “I saw the security down there with my own eyes, and they weren't letting anyone who didn't have a pass to come through,”
Her pale face flushed the lightest shade of pink. “I may have had a bit of 'influential help',”
Influential help? “What do you mean influential help?”
“Well...” She trailed off while looking the other way.
I was about to question her some more when a long, heavy arm slung itself around my neck and another was wrapped around my shoulders. “Heya Sis! How you doing?”
I craned my head around as much as it could to stare into the identical eyes of my elder brother. “Arty? What the hell are you doing here? First Rachel, now you? Why are all of my family members just popping up from nowhere?”
His beaming face frowned slightly. “I didn't know Rachel was here too. Lace told me that she was heading to Edensville to visit her family and to watch you in the parade, and I was just a tad bit worried about you so I decided to come along! Good thing I did too, or else she wouldn’t have been able to get through to see you by herself,”
Lace?
“I'm sorry what?” I broke away from Arty's grip to stare at the two of them accusingly. “When since have you two gotten so 'buddy-buddy' that you are now on nickname basis?”
“Is that all you got from what he said?” Pinky raised an eyebrow at me.
“Just answer the question!” I snappily retorted.
“Hey easy Alex!” Arty rested his hands on my shoulders. “Just chill!”
“No I will not 'chill' Arthur!” I seethed. “As far as I knew, you two don't even talk to each other! Unless you both have been speaking to each other behind my back?” I glared accusingly at them.
“Behind your back?” Arty scoffed. “Who do you think you are ?Mom? Not even she cares about who I talk to!”
I must admit, that it true.
“I DON'T CARE!” I rudely screamed at him. “THE POINT IS THAT YOU TWO HAVE BEEN SNEAKING AROUND!”
“So what if we have been Alex!” Pinky interjected. “And to answer your question, yes we have been talking to one another, getting to know one another. It's not like we've done anything wrong! Why are you even making such a big deal out of this?”
Why am I making such a big deal out of this? I don't even know? Honestly, I think it's because I haven't had a good argument with anyone for a while so I held back most of my angry comments. But now, it just feels like they're all rushing at Pinky and Arty.
“UGHH, JUST SHUT UP!” I screeched before turning on my heel. I'm trying to change, I should just walk away, cool off, then come back to apologize before this escalated any further. But Arty seemed to have a different plan than me.
“Hold it little lady!” He grabbed my upper arm and turned me back towards them. “What's wrong with you? Everyone's been complimenting on how good you've been behaving lately and now since we've come to see you, it's like you just exploded! Did you not want to see us? Were we the problem?”
Instead of answering him civilly, like I should, I decided to instead yank my arm out of his grip and glare at him. “Who do you think you are? Dad? Not even he cares about my behavior!” I sarcastically responded back to him.
“Alexandra Claudette!” He glared. “Don't make me-”
“Don't make you do what, Arthur Livingston?” I challenged. If he wants to be fancy and use my full name, then I'll just use his. “I don't know why you're treating me like a child!”
“BECAUSE YOU'RE ACTING LIKE ONE!” He shouted.
“WELL YOU'RE ACTING LIKE AN ASSHOLE!”
“STOP IT ALEX, JUST STOP!” Pinky shouted as she tugged me to face her. “I don't even know why you're so mad about us not telling you that we were talking...talking...not sleeping together, just talking, like normal people!”
“Yeah well I-”
“And you're such a hypocrite!” She cut me off. “You and Crimson have been together for how long? And not once have you said anything to Arty, who is absolutely clueless about what's going on between you!”
.
.
.
The air between us had gone quiet. I was frozen in shock, Pinky was frozen in shock that she had just revealed my biggest secret and Arty...well...let's just say that he was turning a startling dark shade off red, I think I see steam coming out from his ears.
“Alexandra!” He said hotly through gritted teeth.
All of my previous anger had dissipated. Fear had now taken it's place as I meekly gazed up at my fuming mad brother who looked like he was about to rip my head off. Uh oh.
“I-I'm so sorry Alex!” Pinky tried to interject. But Arty was hearing none of it. He roughly grabbed my wrist and tugged me away far away from Pinky.
People were looking apprehensively at us, but no one dared to stop the crowned prince, who resembled a bull about to go on a rampage right now.
Once we were far away, he slowly turned down to glare intensely at me. “You are in so much trouble!”
Ah shit.
