Chapter 9 - Did he get the message?

We went back to our rooms and facetimed each other until our personal maids came. My personal maid's name was Maia. When she walked into my room her eyes landed right on General then up at Teddy and said, " Very old and dirty, I will wash for you." Before she was able to pick up General I grabbed her arm and declared, " Neither of them can be washed in a washing or drying machine, they have to be washed by hand and very carefully." Maia smiled at me and said reassuringly, " I be most careful with them." Then she proceeded to pick General up like she was picking up a child then picked Teddy up carefully. She weighed the 2 bears in her arms and said, " This bear with tie is heavy. " Then left.

After, Emily and I facetimed each other, I talked to my mom, and played Subway Surfers until 6:00 had arrived. The valet came and knocked on my door letting me know it was time. I slipped on an ombre royal blue off shoulder ball gown and a pair of royal blue ultra satin peep toe high heels. For dinner we got to try the princes' favorite dish, Coffee-Rubbed Steak With Brussels Sprout Salad. All throughout dinner I stared at the prince wondering if he received the message and I think he noticed and started to stare and smile at me the rest of dinner. When I realized he was staring back at me I started to glance from my plate back at him but he didn't stop staring at me. After dinner he asked to speak with Emily and I. He said, " Mr. Williams told me you both would like to sign up for a talent show. " We nodded without saying a word. He asked, " When do sign ups end?" Emily and I looked at each other then I murmured, " Sign ups usually last a week or 2." Then I said, " It would be best if we sign up as soon as possible." The prince nodded and thought. After a few minutes of silence he spoke, " Tomorrow I will have someone drive you to where you have to sign up so make sure you know the destination before 3:30 tomorrow." Emily and I smiled and walked to our rooms. When I got to my room I got on the phone with my mom and asked, " Hey mom, are sign ups at the same place as last year?" My mom agreed and we talked more about what has happened since I arrived at the palace. I didn't go to bed until 12 in the morning that night and slept until 1 in the afternoon. Which I guess concerned the prince because when I woke up the prince was shaking me gently and saying my name with worry in his voice. I sat up slowly and asked, " What are you doing in my room?" He smirked at me and said, " No one could wake you so I decided to wake you myself." I looked at him in shock and he laughed at my expression. After a few minutes, I had completely woken up and realized that I was wearing my favorite green and white alien T-shirt and a pair of white underwear and I could feel my face heat up. So I asked the prince, " Can you wait in the hallway or something so I can get dressed?" He nodded and walked out of the room. I slid out of bed and stumbled to the closet. I carelessly grabbed a dress, took a shower, and slipped on the dress. I opened my bedroom door and there stood the prince waiting for me. He walked me to the kitchen and he had me pick between cinnamon rolls or waffles with whipped cream. I picked the cinnamon rolls and we sat at the dining table side-by-side and he watched as I scarfed down both the cinnamon rolls.
