House of Windsor

Part 40

Dear Diary, 

Tonight was the night of the party at the Kennedy apartment. When I was ready, Kate came and joined me in my bedroom. "I think you might find your first love tonight" Kate joked. I smiled. "Kate... what if Jack does like me. I'm much too young for him. He's 21!" I convinced her. Kate hugged me. "Dayna it doesn't matter about that. Don't let age get in the way of love. If William was 40 and he asked me to marry him, if I loved him, I'd still say yes" Kate smiled. 

I agreed. Kate was looking gorgeous tonight, as she normally does. A car arrived to pick us up and we arrived at 888 Park Avenue, home of the Kennedys. When we arrived, we travelled in the elevator and when we stepped out at our floor, the front door was already open and Caroline Kennedy stood there smiling. 

"Hi there royals!" Caroline chuckled. We exited the lift and we shook Caroline's hands. Caroline already knew Kate and William so I was completely new to her. "And you must be the gorgeous, wonderful, beautifully groomed Dayna!" Caroline threw me into a great big hug before we formally shook hands. "That's me" I smiled. 

We sat down to dinner and it was no surprise that Jack and I were seated next to one another. Jack has two elder sisters, Rose and Tatiana. I think they had high suspicions that their parents and Kate and William were setting the two of us up. But he's 21! I'm thirteen in a couple of days but it is still a lot of years age difference! 

After dinner, it was the occasional small talk. Kate and I actually sat and talked to one another instead of mingling with the US Ambassasdor to Japan. 

The next bit is only for this part in the story but it is so it doesn't all evolve around one person. 

Jack P.O.V

In my head, there is always thoughts of Dayna. She is very beautiful but why am I being such a jerk and not saying anything. Maybe it's because she thinks I'm too old for her. But her looks! It's like she doesn't even try and her personality is amazing. I love her so much. She reminds me of my grandmother Jackie and I love her because of it. 

Oh God why is she so perfect?! I really need to say something. I went over to Rose. "Rose do you like Dayna? Is she nice? Decent?" I asked. 

"Oh God yeah" Rose smiled taking a sip of her drink. "I'm surprised you haven't asked her out!" Rose whispered. "I really want to though" I told her the truth. I always tell Rose the truth. We discussed a plan on how I could ask her out. "Ask her out in the Park" Rose suggested. "But when? She might have other plans with Kate" I said. Rose understood. But it was the only good plan we had and I went for it. 

Now back to Dayna's side for the rest of the story

Eventually Jack approached. Kate winked at me and she started to glide away to speak to Edwin (Jack's father). Jack sat down beside me. "Hello Jack" I smiled. "Hi" Jack seemed nervous. "Dayna, I was wondering, maybe later tonight, do you want to go for a walk in the park?" Jack asked. Was he asking me out? I agreed anyway. 

When Jack moved off after talking with Kate when she came back, Kate talked to me. "I think I may have heard a date being arranged" Kate giggled. I laughed along too. "Well he only asked me for a walk in the park" I told her. "It's a start" She added. I suppose it was. But he didn't do it romantically like how you see it in the movies. 

We went back to the penthouse and I got changed. Jack said he'd meet me at the Met Museum. I was already dressed in something casual and I was taken in our private car to our destination. I found Jack and we set off in our walk. It started off pretty awkward as we didn't really know what to talk about but we eventually picked up a conversation. 

We talked about the Kennedy family, and I talked about the Windsors, and what we do together, and the Australian tour, and Anmer Hall, and George and what it is like back in Britain, To Jack of course, it was very nice and he was very happy to hear it was birthday in two days. 

We walked from the Museum over to a patch of grass where we lay and looked at the stars. It was gorgeous. Jack and I then got walking again and he gave me the shock of my life. "Dayna, listen" He started. So I listened. "I have admired you for some time and I would be very happy, if you became my girlfriend" Jack asked me. 

I was shocked. I did admire Jack though. I remembered what Kate told me one time. She said "If you really love someone and they ask you out, just say yes. I did it with William and look where I ended up". So I looked Jack in the eyes. "Yes Jack. I would... be honoured" I smiled. He smiled. We hugged tightly and then we looked at each other. 

He leaned in and I leaned in, so much that we kissed. Full on the lips. The song came in my head. I guess it was Fairytale in New York. Jack walked me back to the Met Museum, where I got a cab back to the hotel. When I got in, Kate was still up. I hung up my coat and came over to her. "Well.. how did it go?" Kate smiled. 

I think she had an idea how it went. "Well, Jack asked me out" I spat it out because I knew that she knew all about it. Kate was so pleased. She and I hugged and jumped for joy. "Oh Dayna! I'm so happy for you" She hugged and jumped with me. "And it's your birthday in two days! So it is one of the best presents ever for you!" Kate smiled. I agreed, then I mentioned the kiss. 

Kate was over the moon. "Oh my gosh!" Kate huggged me even more. She then ran through and got William. All three of us jumped and hugged each other. Jack is really nice but to me the best birthday present is being with Kate and William and George. I was really pleased but it was even better being with them.
