A cruel prince

birthdays

Five days later.

its been five days since I've been practice how to walk in heels, how to eat properly, how to talk without using so much profanity, and a bunch of other stuff just to be Daniel's date for his birthday party.

I'm exhausted and ready to this thing over with.

Tonight is his birthday party, and today is also my birthday.

You know what the weirdest thing is?

Daniel and I are getting a bit to friendly. I mean we eat together, shopping together, talk about his problems, and even sleep together (not in a sexual way).

I kind of understand why he's so cruel. He's father, the previous king, was an abuse man. he use to beat on Daniel and forced him to be the best at things he didn't even like doing. I tried to ask Daniel about His father's death, he's respond was "he died and life moves on."

"Did you know that I don't even like parties?" Said Daniel while I was getting into a beautiful light-blue Cinderella dress. I was looking at myself in the mirror. He was sitting in a sofa behind me. I turned to look at him with a confuse look.

He smile and say "I'm serious. My mom expect to bring a date or find myself a wife in the crown.and I definitely don't want to marry one of those girls. So you're my date. By the way you look amazing."

I turn to look back at the mirror and he was right. I was looking beautiful beyond gorgeous. My makeup was on point and the dress... The dress was to die for.

He had a dark black tuxedo, light-blue shirt, and a black crevat. He looked as amazing as I was.

He hand me is hand and say "show time, let's get this stupid night over with."

He walk down the stair in a ballroom. thousands of people surrounded the stairs, ready for the birthday boy to come down.

When we reach the bottom of the stairs, he introduced me to a bunch of people from big royal families. He kissed me on the cheek and whisper "just for tonight, you're not a prisoner nor my personal maid. You're my girlfriend, put up a show."

At 11:00pm, I was already tired and the party started at 7:30. People were still dancing. It amaze me how many girls were willing to be slave just to be with Daniel.

"She's lucky." One girl said.

"I wish I was her." Another said.

"She's not even that pretty. If he was mine I was going to Give him everything." He girl say.

"I wish I was he's slave."

"Girl I wouldn't ever get tired calling him 'MASTER'" one girl added.

"Stop try to listen to everyone's conversation." Daniel said.

He was sitting next to me with my hand in between his two hands.

"The party is getting party." I said ignoring his previous comment.

"Want to get out of here.?" He said.

I looked at his first to see if he was serious then I reply "yes. Please. This dress is killing me. Its beautiful but a bit to tight."

He took my hand and walk out of the room. Was e had to do it in a sneaky way so no one won't notice.

As soon as we get to the hallway. He look at me from head to toe.

"Take off your heels."

"Why?"

"Come on. Do you have to know everything? Just take them of because the queen come out and tell us to GO back in there."

I took off my shoes. And be fire I knew it he said "run."

He ran all the way to the end of the hallway. the floor was slippery. He open a door to a big room.

I sat on the floor next to him with our back against the wall.

He stared at me for a while.

Then he touched my chin and lean in for a kiss.

I didn't know what was going on. I felt a electric vibration as soon as he's lips touches mine. He kiss me with a lot of passion and caring. He was not the prince who was killing innocent people just because. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kiss him back.

He push me on the ground and jump on top of me in a playful way. We both started laughing. He kiss my neck then went down to my breast. He unzipped the dress and I took it off. I unbotton his shirt and took it off with a rage. He went back to my lips and started sucking on my bottom lip. He unhook my bra without breaking the kiss.

I felt like I was free. Like the world that surrounded me was paradise. Not like I felt like when the men had raped me.

He stop kissing and sit up with his back against the wall.

"I thought you were a virgin."

He say looking at the floor.

"That's was before your men raped me." Like he didn't know his men raped me. Smh please...

"Wait. what? Who? When?" He look at me and slowly stood up.
Oh God that's not good.

"..... When you told them to gave me twenty whoops for disobeying the rules. You had come after the whooping and told them not to hit me anymore but instead to clean the blood of my back and send me to your room. They had their fun with my vagina."

"After I told them not to touch you?"

"Yeah." Wait he didn't know.

"Three more men to go," he whisper to himself.

He walked around the room to calm himself down.

He came and sit next to me twenty minutes later.

"Want you want for you birthday?" He ask me.

"I want to be free. I want to be rich. I want to go back to school. I want to make my mom proud." I say like it was a poem. I smile and say "to bad I don't believe in birthday wishes."

He look at my face and open his arm to give me a hug. He kissed my forehead and say "Happy birthday beautiful."

*******

The party was over and everyone went home. Daniel and I went back to his chamber. We took a shower and went straight to bed.

"So how did you know it was my birthday?."

"You told me, a week ago."
