HIS CHILDHOOD PRINCESS

19-UNLIMITED SHOPPING

Alyssha's POV

We have spent half of the day visiting different places and Damian is not leaving my side even for a second. Not that I am complaining, in fact I am very happy because Zack has really been trying to flirt with me. Maybe he doesn't remember me but I do. He is one of the biggest tormentors from the past.

Right now we are walking around the lake shore while others are at the zoo. We skipped because obviously to avoid certain people and also I am very much against caged animals.

I can't help but to think about what Amanda told me during the museum visit.

Flashback

I am walking around alone as Damian and Oliver are busy talking with each other.

"Hi. What are you doing alone?" I turn around and see Amanda with a huge smile. I really like this girl. She is very nice and cheery all the time.

"Hey, yes. Everyone is busy. So Yeah." I say awkwardly.

"You don't like to make more friends. Do you?"

"Yes, that or people just find me socially disaster." I say, shaking my head and with a little smile.

"I haven't had many friends in my life or actually I can count them." I say with a light chuckle.

"First one is Oliver, who literally forced himself in my life. And the second one is Damian, and I still don't know how we became friends." I say the last sentence while looking towards Damian and a small smile creeps in my lips. He is busy talking with Oliver and they look very serious.

"But I think for him, you are more than just a friend." I look back at her and she has a small but sincere smile.

"I don't think so. He sees me only as a friend." Even though I am disappointed I know that's true.

"Girl, either you are blind or you are blind." She says in a nonsense tone.

"Anyone with eyes can see the way he looks at you, the way he smiles when you smile, the way he always tries to find you in the crowd, everything screams only one thing that he likes you. Actually no scratch that he loves you." She says confidently.

Is it possible? Can someone like Damian, a perfect dream man, love someone like me, a broken soul?

"I...I doubt that. How can he love someone like me?"

"What do you mean? Anyone will like you just at first sight. You are strong, independent, smart and extraordinarily beautiful. Any man would love to have you. To be honest Damian is smart to claim you first otherwise I was already planning to persuade you for my brother Xavier as soon as I saw you."

"Woah!!! Isn't that little too much?"

"Naah.. and how would you explain what I saw in the morning? I am sure that wasn't your first time getting cozy." She says with narrow eyes. I blush hard and she laughs. Now I wish Damian was here to save me. I look at him and our eyes meet. I am sure he can see my blush as he gives me a big smile.

"You see how his expression changes with just one look at you? He is whipped. Trust me when I say you also like him or may be more than that."

"I.. I like him but to be honest I don't know how to love or how to show.. I don't know how to express myself."

"Tell me one thing, what do you feel when you are with him." I stay quiet. I don't know what to say.

"Do you feel electricity runs in your body with just one touch from him? Do you feel butterflies on your stomach when you kiss him? Do you feel loved, wanted and protected in his arm? Do you feel like you want to kill any other girls who dare to even look at him? " I am feeling shy now. That's true. I definitely feel all these around him. So I just simply nod.
