"HELLO?" THE VOICE asked from the other end of my phone.

"Hey, Zion?" I asked as I hid the gun under my pillow, hoping that there wasn't another camera somewhere in here.

"Yes. Who's this?" He answered after a second.

"It's Royal, the girl you met at the restaurant last night." I clarify as I take a seat on the bed.

"Oh right! The girl with the bewitching eyes!" He shouted in realization. I held my phone away from my ear before putting it back, laughing at his volume.

"Is that what you call me?" I joke.

"Only in my head." He laughed. I heard some shuffling before he continued talking. "I'm actually really glad you called."

"You are?"

"Yeah. I wanted to talk to you but I couldn't since I didn't have your number." He said cheekily.

"Good thing I called then." I smiled to myself. We talked for a while, getting to know one another.

I was kind of disappointed that Prince hadn't come to check up on me. I stopped smiling to the phone when Zion asked me a certain question.

"How's you're 'not-boyfriend'?"

I paused, stuck in my head. He isn't my boyfriend. He's my boss. That I had occasionally kissed, and who occasionally felt me up.

"Um, he's good. He calmed down a little while after we got in the car, nothing special." I responded quickly.

"Mhm, cool." He said shortly. "Hey, do you think I can have my jacket back? I could visit you!"

I heard the giddiness and anticipation in his voice and I frowned.

Prince maybe, sorta, most definitely burned it.

I heard him order someone to dunk it in gasoline and light it on fire. The next time I saw him he smelled like smoke. When I asked him why, he just smiled and kissed me.

"Or.. we can go shopping together on my day off!" I happily suggested. He immediately agreed, making plans to meet me at the nearby mall on Sunday.

A knock came from my door and I looked up, hushing my voice.

"Can I call you back? I've got to get back to work." I asked into the phone.

"Oh, yeah. Sure. Bye." He said sadly.

"Bye." I hung up as I slid the phone into my pocket, walking to the door.

"Royal, can you do me a little favor?" Alice asked as she held Junior's hand.

He stood there, staring into space. Alice had dressed him in a cute little blue suit with black shoes. His hair slicked back, yet fluffy looking at the same time. He looked up at me and smiled, his little dimple showing. I nodded at her, reaching out to pick up Junior when he held up his arms for me to carry him.

"Can you please watch Junior?" She asked hurriedly.

"Of course, that's the whole reason I'm here after all." I laughed. She smiled at me before thanking me.

"Are you okay? You seem..worried." I asked as I gently rubbed Junior's back as he rested on my hip. She waved her hands to dismiss my curiosity.

"I'm fine! I just forgot to get my husband a gift!" She shouted as she rushed down the hall. I stared after her.

I looked over at Junior when I felt him harshly rubbing the skin on my shoulder.

"What's this?" He asked as he continued to pick at the dark purple blotch as my eyes widened.

"Nothing!" I quickly shouted. He looked up and at my neck and pointed to it.

"You have some there, too!" He said as he tried to reach his hand towards it. I pulled him away and smiled.

"Let's get you some food. Sundaes?" I asked, hoping to distract the child with his favorite dessert.

"Yes please!"

I quickly walked us around the house until we ended up in the kitchen.

I stopped when I saw a tall blonde lady standing in the middle of the kitchen, the back of her head being the only thing I'm able to see since she's facing the opposite direction.

Her honey colored hair draped down her back as the tight white skirt she wore seemed to complement its matching top and black pumps.

I thought I heard a sigh escape Junior's mouth before the tall blonde turned around, revealing her face. Her baby blue eyes shined as her overly coated lips smiled at us.

She was..beautiful. Her clear skin radiating an amazing skincare routine, her clothes, watch, and jewelry telling everyone around her that she was loaded. What completed her whole look was the small but visible black beauty mark that was under her eye.

"Junior! Ahh, you look adorable as ever!" She exclaimed as she rushed towards us, her heels rapidly clinking with every step she took.

"Mhmm, yeah." Junior responded. I held in my laugh when I saw Junior roll his eyes.

This boy is grown-

Her face fell slightly at his reaction, now turning her attention to me.

"You must be his new nanny?" She asked as she held out her hand for me to shake. I nodded, taking my free hand and shaking hers.

"I'm Royal." I said with a polite smile. Her perfectly manicured hand shook mine.

"Nice to meet you, Royal!" She said, overly excited. Her open mouthed smile revealed her white teeth as she continued shaking my hand.

"I'm going to watch TV." Junior said as he quickly jumped from my arm and ran out of the room.

"Okay, I'll call you when I'm done with your sundae!" I shouted after him, earning a shout back, telling me to do that.

"So Royal, do you like it here?" The mysterious woman asked. I nodded my head as I walked to the kitchen, about to get ready to make the cold treat.

"Yeah. Junior makes it easy, he loves me." I boast with a smile. I hear her quietly scoff before she comments on my answer.

"He loves me, too."

Mhmmmmmm-

"That's nice." I mumble as I grab the large bowl. "So why are you here?"

"Oh, I'm visiting an old friend! I haven't seen him in forever!" She responded with a loving sigh. I freeze and look over at her.

She sat on a stool on the other side of the Island, arms under her hands as she balanced her head on them.

Visiting a friend? Her?

"Do you happen to be-?" I began but she cut me off.

"I'm Elizabeth." She replied with a smug smirk. My hand clenched at her next words as I smiled at her. "And I'm here to see Prince."

That's fucking spectacular.
