Mag-log inWe head back up the stairs following Prince Luke and Prince Chris and see them putting our bags in their closets. "What are you doing? Give us our bags," I asked. Prince Luke turns to face us and says, "No. Because you will try to do this again if we do. Now, get some sleep as we have a big day tomorrow for you two."
I look at Traci and try to speak, "But, we can't stay here anymore. We have to go, Your Highness. Plea--", until Prince Chris cuts me off and says, "No, we say that you are both staying here until we decide or if we ever decide to let you leave. Do you understand?" "But, how will we change clothes? If they are with you in your rooms," I asked. "Come get them from us and change in your rooms," Prince Luke says. Traci just heads to his closet, grabs her bags and begins walking out. He follows her and takes her to his room. I'm standing there with Prince Chris staring at me. "Alisa, why do you not want to stay here?" he asked. I gulped. I don't know what to say.
"Answer me," he says. "Um, we just told you. We feel like we overstayed our welcome," I say, avoiding his gaze. "Look at me. You and Traci have not bothered us at all. We want to keep you both safe," he says. I just nodded. I walk to get my bags, but he takes them from my hands. "Why are you doing this, Alisa?" he asked. I back up against his dresser and he steps closer as he drops my bags behind him. "You have a girlfriend. Stop doing these kinds of things," I pleaded. "And why do you care about her so much?" he asked. "Because I'm not going to be the side chick to any man," I say.
~My phone rings~ The caller ID shows 'Nelson.' I pick it up. 'Al, what's up? I'm by the road where I said we'd meet to go to my place; where are you at?" he says. "Um. Nothing. Sorry, I'm on my way. Be there in 5 minutes," I say, hanging up the phone. I head around Prince Chris to pick up my bags, but he gently pushes me on his bed and I fall face first. I try to turn around, but he gets on top of me and mutters in my ear, "If you really think I'm going to let you go with that Nelson guy, you must think again.' I struggle to get free, but he just holds me down tighter. "Look, I need to go meet Nelson. Unlike you, I'm loyal to just one person. You should learn loyalty, Your Highness," I say. He gets up and I think he got up to leave me alone, but he actually takes my phone and redials Nelson.
'She's not coming with you. This is her fiance. I highly suggest that you go home,' I hear him say. I try to get my phone back from him, but he just keeps me at arms' length. ~Call ends~ "Why did you do that?" I cry out. "Because, like I said, you aren't leaving to go meet him," he says. "Leave me alone. Go to Lysa, I bet she's missing you," I say, heading to leave. But, what he says next, stops me in my tracks. "She's not my girlfriend," he says. "I just asked her to play as my girlfriend to make you show your true feelings. She's my best friend since birth," he adds. I sighed. "Why would you want to make me jealous?" I asked. "Because you do love me. You have fallen in love with me. And you cannot deny it. Lysa saw it in your eyes too," he says.
"And if I say you're right, what would change? Huh?" I asked. "We would talk about it and see how we would move forward with this new step in our relationship," he says. I turned to face him, but he was closer that I bumped into his chest. "Oh, um, excuse me," I say, breathless. "So, what do you say, Alisa? You want to try talking about our feelings for one another? Or do you want to try being together?" he asks, with a smirk.
We looked back at where we started to where we ended up. Engaged to two handsome princes of the Royal Family. From being abused by our ex-boyfriends, Michael and Charles, we never imagined being in love again. Our parents were murdered by Michael and Charles because we wanted to leave and be happy. They caused a great deal of pain, stealing our parents from us at an unfortunate time. Prince Chris and Prince Luke both showed us that there is love after pain and we are eternally grateful for them.Even though our parents cannot be with us in person, to see us get married, or even walk us down the aisle, we know that with the amount of love they instilled upon us, from our birth and until now, we know that they are with us, in spirit and soul and will be walking with us as we step into our new future and our new home. We asked for love again and we got it. We asked for a family again and we got it.Good things happen to those who wait and stay strong on their
I get to my room as Prince Luke and Traci head out for their date. I walk inside, turn to shut the door but Prince Chris enters and shuts the door before I could even react or say anything. "Um, Your Highness? What may I help you with?" I ask, nervously. "Call me Chris, please. My name is Chris," he says. "Chris, what did you need?" I asked. "I need you to talk to me because I need you. All of you," he says. I shake my head No. "No, we don't have anything else to talk about. We already talked before you had to leave," I said. I head to my closet to pick out my tank top and pajama bottoms. "I need to change. May you please leave?" I say. "I'll turn around, but we still need to talk," he says, turning around. I sighed. I undress and change into my nightgown. "I'm done. You may turn around," I say. He turns around to face me."I have feelings for you, Alisa. I know it might be bold of me to say bluntly, but it's the truth. You may not think you deserve to be loved, but you are o
She touches my shoulder and I shrug her hand away. I feel her get scared and walk away. I'm still on the phone with Renee and trying to pay attention. I hear Traci call a cab service and tell me that she wishes us both happiness and that she had fallen in love with me. I tell Renee that I had an emergency and won't be able to make it tonight to see her. She says okay and I end the call. I rub my hand over my face and pinch the bridge of my nose to think about what to do next.I head to my car and the driver takes me back to the palace. I have to go find my dad and speak to him on what I should do. I head inside the palace and head to my dad's study. He's reading an article and I clear my throat. "Dad, are you busy? Could we talk?" I asked. He looks up and says, "Sure, my son. What's the problem? What happened to the date?" I sighed and go take a seat on the couch next to his desk."Dad, our date started off well. But, she told me to stop kissing her and making her feel good in
"Yes, please. This can't happen between us just yet," I plead, as he kisses on my neck. He moves back slightly to look into my eyes. "And tell me why not? I see that you are feeling good," he asks. I say, "Look, Luke. It's not that I don't. It's just that no matter what you say or think, I am still not right for you. And you know that." "Oh really? You make my decisions for me, now huh? That I don't want you because of how you think we don't deserve to be together? Alright then," he says, getting up and walking away from me.I look at him as he walks away. 'I really like him. I actually think I have fallen in love with him, but as usual, I'm just too afraid that I will be hurt again, or he won't really want me, or I'll hurt him,' I think to myself. I get up and go find him on his phone. "Yeah, Renee. We can meet tonight. I'm not doing anything important," he says to the person on the phone. 'Well, dang. I did deserve that, didn't I?' I think to myself. I place my hand on his
Why is he so bent on getting me?′ I think to myself. He can have anyone else honestly. I head to Alisa's room and see her on her phone. "Hey, sis. Are you busy? I need your help," I ask. "Oh hey. No, I'm not busy. What's up?" she says. "Can you come with me to the mall? Prince Luke is taking me out on a dinner date tonight at 8 pm," I ask. "Oh my gosh! Of course I can! I'm so happy for you, sis! You deserve this!" she screams happily. I giggled, but I notice she had been crying. "Are you alright? You've been crying. Why?" I asked."Oh, no. I'm alright. Don't let me bring you down. Let's go get you ready for tonight, bumblebee," she says, with a warm smile. "Are you sure? I don't have to go out with him and we can talk," I said. She shakes her head. "You will go on your date and that's final. Okay?" she says. "Fine. But, we'll talk when I return. Okay?" I said. She nods her head. "Ready to go? The guard is waiting on us outside," I ask. We head outside and head to the ma
I was upset that Traci tried to leave. So, I took her to my room. "What do you want?" she screamed. "You. I want you," I say, taking her in my arms and kissing her on her lips. She tries to push me away but I tightened my hold on her waist and pull her closer to me. She's still struggling, but I guided her to the edge of my bed. I pull back to look into her eyes. I need her. "Your Highness, what do you mean by you want me?" she asked, breathless.I smirked. "Exactly what I said. I want to be with you and you want to be with me. I know it," I say. "Why are you acting so confident? How can you possibly think I want you?" she asked, shocked. "Because I see how you act around me. Your body tells me you want me but you're trying to fight it and I don't really understand why that is," I say. I lightly push her onto the bed and she rushes to the other side and I go closer to her. "Look, I know you have been hurt by that useless excuse of a man, but trust me when I say that I'm nothi
