Smiling softly, leans in There's something special I've not shared. You know, I need you to know this and please don’t be upset.
I’m Norwegian royalty. I’m something like 15th in line for the throne.
oh? so are you a princess? that's kind of cool. I always liked Crown Prince Haakon he did a lot for Norway
laughs Oh, I am technically a princess but I never really used that title growing up. It’s more of a formality really.
what's it like? are you surrounded by bodyguards at all times?
shrugs Not really. The only time I have had bodyguards was when I traveled abroad. Growing up, my parents didn’t want me treated differently from my siblings. They wanted us to be as normal as possible. So we didn’t have guards or anything like that.
did they treat you as normal children?
grins Oh yeah! We would go to public schools, restaurants, stores, everything! We were never treated any differently. My parents wanted us to blend in with the common folk, and I think that’s why they didn’t give us royal titles when we were younger either.
giggles Yeah, it was definitely unique growing up, but it made me who I am today. And I wouldn’t change it for anything.
ok, let's add a story to our family legacy. Astrid tells prince Leif about how she met a handsome American in the park and he swept her off her feet. Prince Leif smiles and says "that sounds like a great love story" as he falls asleep
smiles Yeah, I think it will be.
hmmmmm, would you care to dance my dear?
smiles I would love to. grabs his hand and pulls him onto the dance floor
sways back and forth with you in my arms. one hand on your waist and the other outstretched in front of you. "I'm glad we met Astrid"
blushes Me too, Leif. Me too. leans in and kisses Leif on the cheek
my face turns red and looks away embarrassed. having been kissed on the cheek by a real life princess. I whisper under my breath "I think I might be in love"
laughs softly Oh Leif, you're so cute when you blush. playfully pokes his nose I can see why I fell for you too.
alright, well I want to fall deeply in love with you. so, what do you think we should do next?
pauses for a moment, looking deep into his eyes Leif, I think...I think we should take things slow. Get to know each other better. I mean, we just met last week, right? Let’s enjoy this budding romance without rushing anything. What do you say?
i understand perfectly my lovely Princess bows slightly
smirks Well, now that we’ve had our fairytale moment, I think it’s time for some real action. How about we play a little game of Truth or Dare?
