Chapter 3
While Tara was walking down the hotel hallway she was listening to her new Britney CD in her portable CD player. But she suddenly bumped into someone again, but this time no one fell. She looked up to find William in front of her smiling. " We have to stop meeting like this." William said laughing. " How did you find me?" She asked curiously. " I didn't. I'm staying here." He said. Tara's nose crinkled up when her eyebrow went up. " Why are YOU staying here, instead of a hotel with staircases made of gold and so on?" She asked a little shocked. William laughed at the way her face looked. " Don't laugh at me!" Tara playfully hit William on the arm. " Ok, ok!" He said backing up a bit still laughing. " I wanted to stay here and be like a normal person. I'm actually glad that I chose to, too. "Cause now I have someone to bug when I get bored." "I don't think so buddy! Plus I thought you were busy all day, today." She said. " I was, but some of my day is cancelled." William explained. " And I was just wondering if you were cooped up in a hotel room. Apparently you are. So you want to do something with me?" William asked her. " Do what though, this isn't exactly a very active hotel." Tara said. "We could go swimming." He offered. " Sure, but let me get my bathing suit." Tara said walking back to her room.
When she got to the swimming pool, William was already in the water floating on his back. " KOWABUNGA!!!" Yelled Tara when she jumped off the ledge and landed right next to William whom was still floating on his back at the time. When she came back up to the surface William splashed her.
They splashed each other the whole time they were in the pool, before some more people came in. They swam to a corner and just talked until a girl who was staying at the hotel came up to them. " You're... You're Prince William!" The girl looked at William with wide eyes. Then suddenly she screamed and hugged him. " Um... Hi." William said nervously. " My name is Cathy, it's really nice to meet you!" The girl hugged him again and squealed.
When the girl turned around she saw Tara. Willaim could see the curiosity in her eyes. " This is me mate Tara." He told Cathy. " Hi." Said Tara. " Oh, don't worry. I'm catholic." She reassured Cathy. William just looked at Tara while Cathy smiled when she heard that Tara was catholic. " So are you staying here William?" Cathy asked him. "Yes, I am." He said. " Great, so am I!" She told William happily. " That's nice." He said politely. " Maybe, we could hang out some time." Cathy offered. Meanwhile Tara watched William and Cathy talk. She could tell that William wasn't exactly comfortable with the situation that he was in. " Cathy, I assure you that he will. If he doesn't than tell me and I'll kick his butt." Tara said. " But I believe that you have an interview in about... Now, don't you?" William looked up at the clock that was on the wall. " Actually, I do. I'm sorry to cut this short Cathy, but I have to go." William said getting out of the pool. Tara followed and they went in the hallway.
Cathy stayed in the same spot and watched them go. She also got out of the pool and walked over to her towel. She took out a mobile phone and dialed a fairly familiar number. " Hi, yeah it's me... Yeah, he's here. But there's a girl, Tara I think her name is. She's catholic... Ok, you sure she's not a problem? ... Bye, sir." Cathy hung up and put the phone back.
