Did he just say, boyfriend and girlfriend? What Rose said was that she wanted to get to know him better which her mouth said against her will.
She wanted to object immediately but, her mouth just wasn't moving. It was going against her will for the second time! She was grunting inwardly as she was trying so hard to move her mouth and tried to open it but, it wasn't budging!
She was ready to shout with all her might but her mouth was her only obstacle. Only the heavens knew why her mouth was suddenly acting up.
"Rose, are you fine with this?" her mother asked.
She still couldn't say anything to support or oppose this drastic decision. "My love, she's obviously shy about this. You wouldn't want to call your boyfriend your boyfriend in front of your parents right? I personally would be shy to the core. Her silence obviously means yes. No need the ask" the King responded to her.
"Rosaline, what is your answer?" her mother said ignoring the King.
Rose glanced at Prince Rexford again and the smile was still on his face as he was anxiously awaiting for her response. His sympathetic face wasn't going to change her mind in a million years and she would easily decline if only her mouth would open!
A few seconds later, the only thing she could do was to hope and pray inwardly that her mouth wouldn't sink her deeper into this matter at hand because she could sense her mouth opening. The words came out of her mouth saying "I don't see what's bad"
"Are you sure about this?" asked her mother
"I guess"
Oh no! What kind of mess has she gotten herself into this time!
Her mother could see reluctance written all over her face but, since she said she was fine, she was fine.
Without any warning, she slammed her head on the table a couple of times. Everyone asked her what happened in alert but, once again her mouth betrayed her saying "I'm just excited that's all"
She was surely going to give herself a good beating once she was done with breakfast.
