“Hey, what—I mean, how, what’s going on?” His gaze runs up and down my body.
“I decided that I wasn’t really happy before and I needed to find a way to make myself happy. When we were together you made me happy. Being the princess never made me happy. It wasn’t who I am.” I smile at him nervously, waiting to hear what he says. “So what do you think?”
“I think for our first female pirate, you are goddamn perfect.” His hands grip my waist as he pulls me against him. “Now we might have to work today, but tonight your booty is mine.”
I laugh and see the small crowd of employees that have gathered around us.
A slow clap starts and I turn around to see Jeremy. “I always knew you were trash, but you really committed to it, huh?”
Justin steps forward, but I place my hand on his chest.
“I got this one.” I turn and take a few steps toward the prince. “You may think that you’re important and that you’re better than everyone else here, but you’re not. You are a pathetic little shit who uses his little dick to try and make himself feel like a man. Your opinion doesn’t mean anything to me.”
I start to walk away when he of course opens his big mouth again. “Hope you’re happy being a pirate whore.”
I stiffen. When I turn around I step so close that I’m in his face. “I’d rather be his whore than your princess any day, you prick.” I pull my sword from my belt and jam it right into his dick. He buckles to the ground, and I flash him a smile before walking away.
Justin takes my hand, and we walk off toward our ship.
I’ve been a pirate for almost two weeks and I have to say that I couldn’t be happier. I don’t hate going to work every day anymore.
Being a pirate I’m allowed to be sarcastic, funny, and really just be myself.
When I was the princess I had to be polished and perfect every moment. It was so draining and really started to take a toll on me.
Things with Justin have been great too. Luckily I haven’t hospitalized him again. I have even started being a little less bitchy 24/7. Honestly, that’s a lot easier when you’re getting sex regularly. It’s hard to be mad when you’re getting laid.
I’m walking through the park looking for Melanie, but I haven’t been able to find her anywhere.
As I walk through the backstage of the forest I hear some loud noises. When I look over I see something that will be burned into my memory forever.
Mel is bent over, holding on to one of the prop trees, while some chipmunk is plowing into her. The creepiest part is that he’s still wearing the costume head.
“What the hell!” I scream, and both of them stop to look up at me.
“Kate? Shit.” Melanie stands up quickly and tries to fix her clothes.
“Is this what goes on here? Jesus.” I look around.
“Actually yeah, so if this freaked you out you might wanna turn around and not go any farther,” the chipmunk says to me.
“Oh God.” I turn quickly and almost run back the way I came. Pulling out my phone, I send a quick text to Dani.
Me: I just caught Melanie getting it on with the chipmunk against a tree!
Dani: STFU I always miss the good shit! Was he hot at least?
Me: I don’t know. He was still wearing the head!
Dani: Holy shit. That girl is a freak.
I laugh as I make my way back to my area and far away from the forest. Passing the castle, I smile at the show going on right now. The new princess they found is great. She seems like she fits right in where I was always just trying to pretend that I did. Jeremy started acting out after I embarrassed him in front of everyone. Last week he showed up drunk and they fired him on the spot. I definitely enjoyed watching him walk out of here.
I head toward the pirate area and the first show has already begun. The guys are playing with the kids, and I decide to just watch this one. All of Justin’s friends were really accepting and are a ton of fun.
I never imagined myself being where I am right now, but it’s the only place that has felt right in a really long time.
