T HERESA??????????????????

yes, that is me. but please do continue. i'd love to hear what you think about your girlfriend, and the offers you've gotten from various medias.

[ liechtenstein may not have a military anymore, but the vast population can still kick the asses of adorable, hotshot pilots like him. ]

NO YOU HAVE IT ALL WRONG I SWEAR i mean it

wait media WHAT MEDIA

theresa

theresa are you there I'm so sorry I'm an idiot please don't be angry

that's not to say you can't because it's completely in your right to be but

but please don't all the same

[ n o p e she's ignoring that. clearly, he's just trying to cover his tracks. his ruse has been discovered, the cat's out of the bag, the curtain has been pulled back. and it's not a nice man there; just a git. ]

did you know that people are at their most truthful while inebriated?

and don't play dumb please. the media: newspapers, telly, radio, the internet. you know full well what i mean.

[ WELL he's also capable of scrolling up and so he does

to see what he's said right up there before he lost the ability to be calm BUT HE IS, HE IS --

and there it is: "I wish she was" and - and -

this is far too embarrassing because he's just sort of admitted he does like her but she's obviously not seen it, thank goodness for small miracles (or is it, really?) and anyway why would she even like him back? obviously there isn't much point in bringing that up, and so all he says, after a while, is - ]

I didn't tell a soul.

[ with as much as her mother acts like a princess and has a fiery temper, theresa has one just as hot and blinding. so, of course, she doesn't remember the "i wish she was" bit. while martin gets a serious case of "foot in mouth"-ivitis, theresa gets "blinding rage"... -ivitis. of course, a woman gets mad when a man tells her they aren't boyfriend and girlfriend. ]

but you were, weren't you?! yes, of course.

i'm just glad i uncovered your little subterfuge before i really started to like you.

[ beyond that, though, she's depressed and angry as hell. god, she just wants to drown in some ice cream now ;; ]

[ there's a reason why he isn't very good with the girls.

and well, there you've done it, Martin Crieff. gone off and ruined everything like a right old sod. ]

no I honestly didn't tell a soul I promise

I know it's

it's not convincing at all and you'd be fully justified in ignoring this but I really didn't I promise it was just

the chaps I share the house with, they said they'd seen us at Croydon and they don't normally see me out and about because of work so this was sort of

well sort of a big thing I suppose so they obviously asked who you were and I didn't say you were a princess and I said you weren't my girlfriend because I wasn't sure if you were interested or if I was too boring or silly because even if I was you wouldn't say anything you're too nice to do that

and I know we did go out a couple of times but what if you just wanted to be friends or or something like that

so

so what I'm trying to say is I'm sorry and I understand if you never want to speak to me again I won't blame you and I won't ask you not to be angry that was colossally unreasonable of me so you can if it makes anything better at all

I'll stop talking now

[ it takes her a few minutes to respond; perhaps a tad bit longer than what's comfortable or even necessary. but, oh, she does want to draw it out. ]

well of course, we're boyfriend and girlfriend. i thought - i assumed that was obvious.

[ they have, after all, gone on five or six dates together, and, while they haven't progress to that yet, there has been some snogging and light petting. and that's when they've had the chance to see each other. martin's busy with mjn air, theresa's busy with her princess duties, but there's been long conversations via telephone and text message. you don't just engage in those kind of activities with "friends." ]

so... this wasn't just an act then? you weren't just doing all this to get famous or or to get into my knickers?

cos if you're lying, while i can't answer "you and what army?", i know people who can. i'm friends with prince william. i was at his wedding.

alright. well.

i'll be in london next week, we can get together. more than friends, fyi.

[ this is theresa's way of apologizing and accepting his apology. this was all just a huge misunderstanding, on both their parts. and, really, there's no use in prolonging this stupid thing out. she likes him anyways. he isn't prince charming, but she doesn't want that. all her life, she's been showered and forced to interact with men that only want power and prestige. with martin, all it seems like he wants is her companionship and he seems to like her for her. theresa would be an idiot to let that go over a simple matter of labels. ]

[ get into your knickers Theresa how positively scandalous. Martin's ears are hot. ]

no

as in no i'm not acting or or trying to

trying to um

NO i'm not acting just know this and I'm not lying either

[ -- but it feels like a great weight off his shoulders, all of a sudden, and he's letting out a breath he never even realised he was holding. ]

and okay yes excellent

I'll ah

see you then? [ here, despite himself, it's still just a little difficult to believe this is happening, even after all that. ] what brings you to London, anyhow?

[ it's hard for theresa to trust others. most people are paid to hang around her, or for money and prestige. but, she feels like she can actually trust martin. ]

i believe you. and thank you.

yes, i'll see you then too. and my mother is getting a check-up from a surgery she had a few months ago, and, i volunteered to go with her.

[ it was either that, or take the king to a birthday party. and, uh, no. theresa would take the dragon over the king any day of the week. ]

oh. sorry to hear that, is she all right? had a scare with my mum a while back but she's a bit better now..

also there's apparently this quiet place in sutton that serves really good brunch. i mean i don't really know about this myself since I hardly eat out but I heard about it last week on a job so there's that

if you'd like to that is if you don't then we could always go somewhere else

no, she's well. she just had some face work done; pretty routine.

oh no. i'm so sorry. is she fine?

[ why didn't he mention this before? she would've visited his mum or... sent her some flowers. or something at least. ]

sounds lovely.

[ theresa doesn't really mind where they go. just being with him is nice. ]

oh I see I didn't ah. know that.

yes she's a little better. we're still keeping an eye on things though, popping in between jobs - I am at least.

no you don't. as far as you're aware, the queen of liechtenstein has always had that nose. she was born with that nose. she hasn't had any work done on it.

send my warm wishes to her, please.

in fact, why don't we stop to visit her sometime next week?

none whatsoever. got it.

that's a thought actually -- yes, she'd be delighted, if you'd like to. wokingham's just under an hour out of london.

because that would suck also I'M DONE and jesus christ i need more icons for this

askjlds MARTIN she's going to tell their future kids about this. FYI.

this is a sobering experience and OH NO PLEASE DON'T............
