Working

While I am still trying to decide how my main characters will meet I am not wasting any time. I have been busy casting Eloise’s many family members. With a total of 8 aunts and uncles I have officially casted 3 and have a short list for all the others. Still have to cast her cousins, brothers, mom, dad, her, and her friends. I cannot wait to introduce you all to the new cast! Who are some of your favorite classy, preppy, or old money looking actors and actresses? Let me know and the night end up in the story!

Eloise

Our leading lady is going to be an Ivy Leaguer! Which should be her alma mater: Dartmouth, Yale, Harvard, or penn state?

[phff-forevermeanttobe-blog]

Coming Soon

For all of you that enjoyed this story, my new one @new-phff-comingsoon will have a lot of the same stuff! The leading lady will essentially have the same family. Will work at her dads company. Will still have her little obsession with all things Jackie-O! I really want to highlight her intelligence in the story. She is from NYC of course! I have not decided if her family will be involved in politics as I don’t want to give off trump vibes. But if they are they will definitely be democrats this go around 😉... I feel so free writing a story on my own! what are some things you want to see in the new story?

[phff-forevermeanttobe-blog]

Meet the characters!

So I have officially named my new leading lady. After a long hard process I have decided to go with the name Eloise Harper Forbes-Sterling. Her family and friends will sometimes call her Elle or Ellie. Should she be a blonde or brunette? Let me know!

New Story Update!

Everyone go follow @new-phff-comingsoon which will be the blog I use to release my new story!

[phff-forevermeanttobe-blog]

Opinions?

So for my new story I have a few ideas on how harry and the leading lady will meet.

1. At a bar/restaurant while she is in London on business. The time of year would be late summer for this.

2. At a polo match. This one would have to take place in early summer.

3. At a ski resort. Not sure if it should be early winter or late winter.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW YOUR OPINIONS! I am having such a hard time picking which one because I want the story to be perfect for you guys.

New beginnings!

Since making the announcement this morning I have become even more motivated to get to work. I have built my characters and am currently brainstorming. I think I want the story to begin in 2016 but don’t know a what time of the year. I have a few ideas on how they should meet. Please message me if you have some ideas and I will tell you mine.

[phff-forevermeanttobe-blog]

Sorry!

I would like to apoligize to the loyal readers out there who have been with this story since the beginning. When I started this story I had help creating ideas from a “ghost writer” who had never felt like writing their own fan fiction but had loads of ideas they wanted to see brought into one. That person decided to shut the door on this fan fiction about half way through and left me with a beautiful story but one that was not mine. This fandom is not the one I started out in. It’s completely new. We have new people, new ideas, and conflicting opinions on Harry’s new wife. I want to be apart of this new fandom, but not with Rebecca and Harry by my side. I have done a lot of self reflection and realized I want to start a new story. A lot of the characters will be the but some with new names and rebranded. The story line will have a lot of the same stuff but without all of the things my ghost writer wanted to add. I am currently still in the developing stage. Although I don’t want a ghost writers I do want your ideas. Tell me what was wrong about this fan fiction and let me fix that in the next one. I currently am looking for a title. Give me your ideas. This account will probably remain up and I will just start a new account when the time comes.

Thank you for understanding!

chapter thirty five

Rebecca and Harry had went to Paris over the weekend. They had a great time with Eleanor, and even got in a quick date at the top of the Eiffel Tower. Harry had left yesterday morning for Africa, and Rebecca’s mother wouldn’t be in London until tomorrow. So Rebecca had debated what she would do today she woke up and walked across the garden to eight and nine to see if there was anything there for her to do.

“Rebecca what are you doing here?” William asked noticing her as he walked out of a meeting room with an intern who had a folder that William had just been looking at.

“I just thought I’d walk over and see if there was anything I could help out with.” She told him the intern had now left.

“Harry’s gone to Africa. I’m assuming you don’t have any plans today.” William said as they began to walk through the hallway

“Well kind of.” She said looking around. Since William and Harry had taken over apartments eight and nine they had truly made it into a great office space. They had a full staff that handled all of their charities, events, and other duties.

“Yes well I know the feeling. Kate decided to go see her parents, and the kids are both in school now. So here I am trying to make myself busy.” William said as they walked into his office.

“How was your Scandinavian tour?” Becca asked him as they both set down at his desk.

“It was successful. We met with a lot of great people.” William said he was sincere but you could tell he was slightly bored by the visit.

“You don’t sound to sure about your answer.” She said noticing his tone.

“Well it’s just. These state visits, they are supposed to be the meetings of two heads of state. Instead Kate and I walk around and shake hands.” William said he didn’t really know what more he wanted out of the trip but he knew there was something.

“And you’d rather be talking with heads of state. Influencing policy and giving meaningful statements.” Rebecca said and He suddenly realized what was missing.

“It’s like you read my mind.” He said giving her a smile.

“Well from what I’ve learned in my classes, we don’t get to do that much as members of the royal family.” Rebecca

“Your classes would be teaching you correctly. Though our numbers are historically up, we are still just... figure heads.” Wills said looking at Rebecca across his desk.

“I’ve always heard that your granny had some political pull.” Rebecca said with an optimistic tone.

“Yes, well SHE does. But she rarely uses it.” William said. He definitely disagreed with her decision.

“You disagree with her decision?” Rebecca observed looking at him with a smile.

“Well I think that the longer our family goes along with being just a tourist attraction. The more and more expendable we become.” William told her of his worries.

“I totally agree. Listen, my understanding of the British government system is limited but I am a lawyer and very well versed in politics.” Rebecca said to William but he just looked confused.

“Where are you going with this?” He asked with a smile. His mind already thinking ahead.

Rebecca told him about an idea she had been pondering of how to get the family just enough power to make them important. Her idea also included a way for the United Kingdom to become more reliant on the family holding their role at the top of the government; giving the family a little bit more freedom and room for negotiation with the state. They talked for so long about the plan that they had lunch called in and they continued their discussion while eating. William would tell her how the system worked and she would figure out ways to go around it.

“Wow” Wills said to Rebecca as he laid his napkin down after they had talked the matter back and forth.

“In all honesty I have wondered why this idea had never been thought of by anyone else.” Rebecca said as she set the food container on his desk.

“Rebecca, we have to act on this.” William said standing from his chair and walking around his desk. “I will talk to my dad. You can tell Harry, but this could be something. It could give us exactly what we want.”

“Well I am just glad I could help.” Rebecca said still setting in her seat.

William returned to his seat at his desk where he checked his phone. “I have to go. I have a few things to do before I pick the children up.” He said standing back up and putting his coat on. Rebecca also stood. “Thank you for keeping me company today. It was lovely to get to spend some time with you.” He said as they both headed out.

Once Rebecca was back over Nottingham cottage she walked into the kitchen. She FaceTimed Harry as she opened up the cabinets to get out a few ingredients to make herself dinner.

“Hello. What are you doing?” Harry asked excitedly as he answered the phone.

“I am trying to fix something to eat. How about you?” Rebecca said as she turned on the stove.

“Well I am having a little down time. Tonight I will be eating with a local family, and then I thought I’d go off on my own for a hike before bed.” Harry said as he watched Rebecca move around the kitchen.

“I spent the day with Wills at the office.” Rebecca said before going on into the plan only giving him the short version because she didn’t want to spend long talking about it but wanted to tell him. He loved the plan and told her how smart she was.

They stayed on FaceTime for a long time before Harry told her he had to go. When they finally hung up Rebecca locked the doors and went upstairs. Since she had already eaten while they were on FaceTime she was now going to take a bath. She ran the bath and set the mood with some candles and turned the light off only leaving on a lamp.

She turned the faucet off and got into the tub she laid back and relaxed in the hot water and bubbles. Her mind finally slowed down. She had been so busy lately and now she cleared her thoughts.

She reassured herself that the wedding was going to be fine. She was going to visit churches tomorrow with her mom and then she would be able to set a date. She already had a few ideas for dress designers and her and her mom were going to meet with a few of them and try to pick one. The guest list was far out but she knew it would be okay too.

She leaned her head back and closed her eyes laying like that for so long before getting out and going into the bedroom. She had her silk bathrobe on when she ladies down on the large bed. She turned the television on and she started flipping through the channels trying to find something.

She finally found something and relaxed into the bed watching the television.

chapter thirty four

Rebecca and Harry had released their official engagement portraits yesterday, and they looked beautiful. People had went crazy over them. Today they would be doing their first event as an engaged couple. They were visiting the Nottingham children’s hospital, and there would be a walk about.

Rebecca stepped out of the car and she immediately went to the waiting crowd; shaking hands and taking pictures. She talked to a few of the people and they were all so impressed with how nice she was.

She was reluctant to go when asked to hurry on through so she could make it inside with Harry for the tour of the hospital wing.

After the formalities were over and harry had given his short speech, she walked around to the different rooms to meet some of the children.

Rebecca stood in the doorway of a cold hospital room that had been brightened up by a few drawings that were taped to the wall, “Hello, do you mind if I come in and talk for a bit?” She asked the young girl who was sitting on the hospital bed underneath the covers.

“I uh, I guess.” The girl said shyly looking at Rebecca who was standing in the door way.

“Guys maybe you could leave us for a few minutes.” Rebecca said to the photographers who had been following her around. They all understood and stepped back letting Rebecca go in by herself. “So what’s your name?” She asked as she went in and stood next to her bed.

“Gabby.” The girl said quietly not making eye contact with Rebecca.

“Well Gabby, do you mind if I sit with you?” Rebecca said the young girl nodded and Rebecca set down on the end of the hospital bed. The quiet of the room was occupied by the sound of machines.

“So how old are you?” She asked looking at the girl.

“I’m six years old.” The girl said. She was very cute despite all the cords that were hooked up to her.

“Wow.” Rebecca said trying to fight back the sadness she felt when she learned how young the girl was, “and where are your parents at right now?” Rebecca asked looking around the room not seeing any adults.

“My father is at work and my mummy is getting food.” She said; she talked very mature for her age.

“Of course.” Rebecca said with a sweet smile. She set in the room and talked to the girl until her mother came back. She then talked to the mother for a little bit before excusing herself due to the fact that she would be leaving soon.

The press quickly got information on Rebecca’s visit. She was praised by the press and public for how she behaved. How she talked with the crowds. How she had introduced herself as just Becca. She was said to have a very inviting personality.

Rebecca and Harry were being informed about all of this over the phone while they were in the car on there way back home.

But soon Harry hung up the phone and it was just the two of them in the back of the Range Rover sitting in silence.

Rebecca was looking out the window in deep thought when a tear rolled down her face.

“What’s wrong?” Harry asked her knowing something was wrong but not knowing she was crying.

She turned to him with tears rolling down her face, “I hate this.” She said before crying even harder and trying to wipe away her tears.

“What do you mean?” Harry said sincerely but none the less confused as to what she was crying about.

“I met a girl today who only has a month to live. She was only six years old Harry.” She said the tears kept coming. Her crying soon turned to sobs.

Harry moved closer to her. He wrapped his arms around her and she put her face down into his chest, “Shh. It’s okay.” He said running his hand through her hair.

Rebecca had always done charity work. She had even volunteered at hospitals. But she had never talked with such a young dying child. She had never felt so helpless in a situation. There was nothing she could do to help the young girl, and she hated that feeling.

“When we get back to the house. I want you to set down and write a letter to the young girl and her family. We will send it to the hospital along with a vase of flowers.” Harry said. He remembered it was the same thing he did the first time he had visited a child in the hospital.

Rebecca continued too be upset for the rest of the night. The next morning she decided to do what Harry told her to and she set down and wrote a letter to Gabby. Then after sealing it she instructed a staffer to send it to the hospital along with some pink roses.

She then decided to walk into town for a coffee. Most people were at work or school and the majority of tourists were still in bed so she wasn’t recognized but her security detail was still on edge the whole time.

When she walked into the small café, and no one took the time to look up at her. She quickly made her way up to the counter.

“May I have a coffee please. With two creams and a sugar. Make that to go.” Rebecca said to the waitress who was standing at the cash register.

The lady took the order and prepared Rebecca’s coffee putting a lid on it when she finished. Rebecca thanked the woman and gave a generous tip before walking out of the shop and down the sidewalk.

It was a beautiful day. A little bit chilly, but the sun was shining. Rebecca hadn’t been able to do this in a while and she missed it. She loved walking down the street or through a park. She crossed the street and started walking down the tree lined path back Kensington. She started thinking about how her life was changing. She was so happy to be marrying Harry.

When she walked into Nottingham cottage harry was sitting on the couch, “good morning.” she said watching him eating cereal and watching television.

“Hey, where did you go to this early?” He asked looking away from the TV to see her laying her purse down.

“I had went out and got a cup of coffee and I had just decided to walk.” She said as she set down on the couch.

“You don’t need to be doing that.” Harry said his tone serious.

“I’ll do whatever I please, Harry.” She said not wanting to have a conversation about safety.

“Anyways we have a few meetings this week. Then I thought we could go to Paris for the weekend, since your grandmother has been wanting to see us.” Harry said to Rebecca as he continued to watch television.

“Okay. I’m sure she would love that.” Rebecca said giving him a smile.

“And next week I have to go to Africa. I know it’s bad timing. I hate to leave you here alone with all the wedding stuff, so it’s up to you if you want to come with me I don’t care at all.” Harry said turning to look at her.

“Well I want to go, but the wedding has to be planned. I have multiple appointments, and we’ve yet to set a date and location.” Rebecca said only slightly regretfully.

“I wish I could cancel the trip. I hate to leave you here alone, but it’s been scheduled for a year now. I’m sorry.” Harry said sincerely as he looked over at her.

“I understand. Besides, my mom has been wanting to come in. I’ll see if she can come next week.” Rebecca said looking over at him.

Harry nodded his head before turning back to the television. They didn’t do much that day besides lay around, but they enjoyed every second of it.
