Who: King Henry VIII and Julie Stark
What: Julie comes over for dinner!
When: Backdated to the night of December 9.
Where: Henry's room!
Rating/Warnings: Let's put it at medium and see where it goes!
Status: Incomplete/Closed

Henry wasn't too terribly surprised that Julie had accepted his invitation to dinner. He was the King of England, after all. But he found himself to be pleased that she had accepted, he found that he rather liked her. Even though she had a son, even though she'd had the son out of wedlock. For some reason, that didn't matter to him with her.

Henry had asked the kitchen staff (or, rather demanded. And they obliged) that they bring some food up to his rooms for dinner that night. He had them bring up more food than was necessary, but he was always over the top when it came to eating and drinking. He had also found some wine, what dinner was complete without wine?

He had asked her to arrive at around seven that evening, though he wasn't really one to stick to a set time for things. So, needless to say, he was running a bit late with getting ready for tonight. She had mentioned something about his clothing the first time he had met her, so he decided to try and wear something that the men in this area tended to wear. He had just gotten out of the bath (showers were still a bit foreign to him, he didn't understand how they worked. But baths were okay) and he was in the process of getting dressed.

Julie was kind of nervous about this whole dinner thing. She was scrambling to get things done and knowing that Charlie was probably busy to baby-sit, she just called down to the staff to see if one of them could watch Alexander for a few hours. She was going to be in the castle anyway. She couldn't believe that he asked her out though, he was really cute and that meant that for her, it could mean trouble. Her last relationship wound up with him leaving. But who said that this was a relationship anyway, You're over thinking this Julie just breathe and you will be fine..

He said that he wanted to see her in a dress. Now was this a fancy dress or just casual type of dress. After she had taken her shower, she was wrapped in a towel with a towel over her head. Going into her closet, she just picked out a nice gray sweatshirt type of dress. It was both casual and dressy at the same time. Laying it out on her bed with shoes and jewelry, she went into the bathroom and started to blow dry her hair and put her make up on. When her hair and make up were finished, she went over to the bed and put on the Dress.

When the staff member had come up to watch Alexander, she thanked her and then grabbed her purse as she kissed her son goodbye and said that she would be back in a couple of hours. Walking down to King Henry's room, she gave a deep breath and checked to make sure that she looked okay, and then she knocked on the door.

Of course Henry had lost track of time. He was used to someone keeping him on track, used to someone making sure he arrived to places on time. But now... now without anyone keeping him on track, he had lost track of time. At least he was nearly dressed when he heard a knock on the door. Though he was only in the pants of the gray suit he had chosen for tonight's date, he looked toward the door. "It's open."

He made his way to the door, and pulled it open. He offered Julie a small smile, and his gaze moved over her for a moment. He decided he liked the dress she had chosen, even though it was different than dresses he was used to women wearing. He took her hand within his, and pressed a soft kiss against the hand. Even half dressed, he was still a gentleman.

"You look lovely, my lady." He stepped back from the door, to allow her to come in. "I apologize for my appearance, I seem to have lost track of time." And with that, he went to locate the shirt he was to wear.

She stood there and just played with the necklace that she was wearing. Maybe he wasn't home just quite yet or maybe he didn't hear her knocking on the door. Looking at her watch, she was right on time, okay, maybe 5 minutes late, but who actually showed up on time anyway. When she heard his voice say that it was open, she went to grab for it.

But then he had opened it and she just stood there and looked at him. He wasn't wearing his King or medieval clothes but normal clothes. And no shirt, she thought maybe she should turn her head because she was blushing a little bit, he was really good looking with that on. "Uh, hello." She had said with a little bit of a smile.

"Thank you, you uhhhh look pretty good yourself, Hen....I mean King Henry." She watched him kiss her hand. "Oh its not a problem, I thought I was running late." She said with laughter.

Henry smiled again, and just shook his head. Perhaps he should have kept better track of time, perhaps he should have waited until he was fully dressed before answering the door. But he found that he was rather fond of the slight blush that appeared when he answered the door.

He decided it would only be proper if he happened to be wearing a bit more clothing, he grabbed the shirt from where it was, and pulled it on. It took him a bit longer to button the shirt than it would have taken someone who was used to shirts that buttoned like that, but he managed.

Deciding to forego the rest of the suit, he turned to face Julie once more. He was slightly uncomfortable in the more modern of clothing, but he supposed he would have to adjust to it. He had no idea how long he would be here, he had no idea how to even get home. So why not make the best of it?

"I was growing tired of wearing the same thing everyday," he offered, as some sort of explanation for his attire.

Standing there in the doorway she was really embarrassed that she was looking at him like he was a piece of meat. But she couldn't help it, this guy had a great body. And she couldn't help but not look away even if her face was bright red now. She felt her face getting hotter, "I....I'm so sorry." She said laughing, "Phew is it hot in here or is just me." She said waving herself.

When he had put on his shirt, she stopped fanning herself and felt her face get flushed and back to its normal color. She couldn't believe that she just embarrassed herself by saying all of that, what was she thinking anyway.

He was looking really handsome in his suit, although she didn't really mind his other attire, it was what he was most comfortable with, but in modern clothes he looked like a true gentleman.

"Yeah, my closet is full of clothes, its ridiculous at times actually." She said as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

He smirked slightly, he was rather enjoying her reaction to the fact that he had answered the door shirtless. At least he had been partially dressed, he would have given the poor girl a heart attack had he been any less dressed.

"I was not sure what kind of food you liked... so I requested the kitchen bring a little bit of various foods." He motioned toward the table as he spoke. He really wasn't sure what she would like, so he just requested foods that he knew he liked. He was certain she would find something that she would like.

He ran his fingers through his hair, glancing over at Julie for a moment. He reached toward Julie, and tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "You look beautiful tonight."

Why was he looking at her in that way? Damn, he must have caught her and knew why she was blushing. OH GOD immediately show through her brain. Yep, she was embarrassed now, but she would go through the evening as if nothing happened.

"Oh, I'm not a picky eater at all. I'll eat almost anything." She said laughing. She walked to the table with him as she sat down her purse. "I'm sure that I will like whatever it is you had brought up."

She then felt a shiver up her spine when he tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "Thank you, and you look really handsome. I like the suit that you picked out."

He knew exactly why she had been blushing, and he found that he rather liked the idea of why she had been blushing. It made him want to see if he could make her blush again. And again.

"Good, I like that." Henry smiled at Julie. He liked it when a woman would eat, he thought it silly for women not to eat much.

Deciding it would be best to get some food in his system before he went on with his plan of making her blush even more, he stepped toward the table as well. "Would you like some wine with dinner?"

Oh great, the way that he was looking at her almost made her swoon right then and there. How could she ever get so lucky with meeting such attractive men.

"Well, I have a healthy appetite but I always work it off somehow. I go to the gym a lot." And that was true, she was full of energy and even though she ate a lot, she was in good shape.

Sitting down at the table, she nodded her head when he asked her about the wine. "Oh yes please, thank you." She had said to him. "So are you adjusting here pretty well then?" She asked.
