Once upon a time...
I was out and about, doing princess errands, when Tiegan cornered me. "Hi!" he said. "Hello," I replied slowly. "I just have to say, that you are one of the most gorgeous girls I have ever seen!" he continued. I smiled. I liked compliments. "Thank you," I replied and began to walk away from him. He was persistant and caught up to me. "So, I know this a little upfront, but are you single?" he asked me.
I stopped walking and looked at him. He wasn't a bad looking guy. Perhaps could even be a prince charming. He had dark hair, tan skin, dark grey eyes, and was tall and built. I smiled, "Technically yes." He grinned enormously. "Well, could I take you out sometime?" he asked. I began to walk again. He stayed right by my side. "I don't know anything about you," I stated simply.
In response to my statement, he began to tell me ALL about himself. Tiegan told me about how he used to joust. He told me how he studied at this elite school and how he now is extremely wealthy. I learned of how at the ripe age of 25 he had built his own mansion and bought an extremely fancy carriage. Tiegan also told me about all the fights he won against dragons and beasts and how he loves all these extremely masculine activities.
Pretty much, all he was telling me was superficial. That doesn't impress me.
My mind could not think of something to say, so I didn't reply. "Did you hear me?" he asked. I nodded. "Well is there anything else you would like to know?" he pushed.
I stopped walking and faced him. "Look, the truth is, I am just not really interested. Actually I am interested in someone else. You sound really great, but I feel like I should be upfront with you and not waste your time," I explained. When I finished, I smiled as sweetly and politely as I could and continued to walk away from him.
It took only a minute before he was at my side. The guy was persistant. "I really appreciate you being upfront with me," Tiegan began. "But I'd still like to take you out! Could I call upon you sometime?"
This time, I didn't bother responding. I walked as briskly as I could, straight to my carriage. What kind of prince charming would want to date a princess who was already into someone else? I wasn't sure, but I didn't care to find out.
And we lived happily never after...
