"I have a wonderful idea, why don't we travel the garden together. I find the ambience of nature to be perfect setting to when becoming acquainted with someone" the Viscountess suggested as she extended her hand out to Jack to take. Jack looked at her hand and saw how much bigger it was when compared to his own. He gingerly reached out to take it, putting his on top of hers and noted how soft and delicate it felt. "Shall we?" Jack asked.
"After you my prince" Magnolia replied, as Jack took the lead and guided his suitor to what he considered to be his mothers garden. As Jack walked beside the Viscountess he couldn't help to notice their difference in height and size. Magnolia was a tall and curvaceous woman, so tall that Jack wondered if he could ever catch up to her even after he experienced maturity. Jack also noticed Magnolia's weight, she was clearly much larger than must woman, so much so that the gown she was wearing was hugging her body rather tightly. This clearly defined the Viscountess figure and appearance, she was shapely and clearly had a belly, but she also had a well ample bosom (that Jack had recently became well acquainted with) and a butt that Jack did find concerning.
One slip and she might fall upon me, Jack thought as they stepped through the archway leading to the garden.
That could very well be a problem, Jack thought to himself as the red hair woman removed her hand from his and entered the garden with wonder in her eye. "Amazing" she whispered "As always, your mother has wonderful taste in flower décor"
"I agree, many of these flowers were imported from across the realm. Hand grown and groomed by mother herself. As I recall you two spent many a day here" Jack said, attempted to sound as princely as possible. "Indeed, when I was her hand maiden, we would sneak off to this very place and spend hours talking to each other"
"About what, if you don't mind me asking" Jacked asked, as he watched the plump woman run her palm over a beautiful red and pink flower. "Oh the usual things most ladies talk about, clothes, fine dinning, courtships and handsome princes" those last few word was clearly directed at Jack, which made him blush. Not many people, aside his mother, had called him handsome.
"Come, walk with me Jack, I'll show you where your mother and I would spend time together" Magnolia said as she offered her hand once more, a hand that Jack was rather eager to take. Jack and Magnolia walked through the garden together, admiring the flowers and Jack admiring the Viscountess.
"This is lovely," she said. "Your mother has a green thumb."
"Thank you," Jack said. "She's very proud of her garden."
They strolled along the paths, talking and laughing. Jack was surprised at how easy it was to talk to the Viscountess. She was funny and intelligent, and he found himself enjoying her company.
As they walked, Jack couldn't bring himself to take his eyes off from Magnolia's beauty. How could he possibly be interested in a woman that was both older and larger than himiself.
Jack suddenly felt a stirring in his stomach, it felt as if butterflies were fluttering about, and he quickly looked away. He couldn't believe he was attracted to the Viscountess. But there was no denying that she was beautiful.
They eventually came to a bench, and they sat down. A servant than appeared and offered Jack and the Viscountess a glass of lemonade, which they graciously accepted.
They sat in silence for a moment, enjoying the peace and quiet of the garden.
"This is nice," the Viscountess said. "It's so peaceful here."
"I know," Jack said. "It's my second my favorite places in the world."
"What would be your first, my prince?" Magnolia asked, quickly finishing her drink, while requesting another.
"That would be the library. I fancy myself a scholar while others refer to me as a bookworm" Jack laughed, while Magnolia giggled. "I find that quiet fascinating, not many among the aristocracy would prefer to read. Most would rather fight in battles, partake in tourney's or go on quests"
"I had once fancy those thoughts, but after my recent affliction and the state of the realm, my mother and our council believe it would be in my best interest if I did not risk my life"
The Viscountess gave Jack a quizzical look "I was under the assumption your curse made you invulnerable. Can you still die?" she asked. "I am not quit sure and I am none to eager to test it"
"I would happen to agree with you and your mother. The thought of something happening to you would be awful, especially if I am to have a chance to win your affection" Magnolia purred as she reached out with her delicate palm and ran it down the side of Jack's face. Her touch made the butterflies in his stomach flutter once more as the thought of sharing a life with Magnolia became more pleasant.
"Shall we continue our walk your grace, or would you prefer to venture else where? I could show you another place your mother and I would spend our days"
