Door & Sorry

WHY AM I CRYING? I have no right to shed tears over a man who wasn't even mine.

My head was buried deep in my pillow, giving me some comfort as I sobbed into it. I stayed there for God knows how long before I found the strength to get up and shower.

•••

As I dried my body and put my underwear and bra on, my phone dinged. I threw on a navy blue shirt and blue jeans.

'Are you okay?' Zion's text asked. I took my phone and quickly answered.

'Yeah. Why?'

'You didn't answer me before, I kinda got worried' I smiled at the phone, remembering how easy it was to talk to him.

'Sorry, I had a nosey person next to me.' I replied, referring to Junior.

'Ok, as long as we're still getting together!' He texted. I sat back on my bed with one of my hands brushing through my wet hair, dragging out the curls.

'Of course. And I was thinking about wearing black and yellow' I sent with a smile.

At least I had one honest friend.

I'd spent a couple of hours on the phone talking to Zion. We went from texting to talking on the phone.

"So I was thinking we could also try this new place that just opened." Zion suggested.

"Sure, what's it called?" I asked as I braided my hair after combing it and brushing it through, carefully detangling the knots.

"It's a surprise." He said into the phone. I laughed as I heard him do a fake evil chuckle.

"Okay, hope I'll be surprised then." I joked. He laughed in agreement.

Before we could continue, I heard a light shuffle from outside my door. I looked towards it, getting slightly anxious.

It's only been a few hours, I don't think I could face him yet.

"Can I call you later?" I asked into the phone.

"Oh, yeah, sure. Adieu." He said sheepishly and hung up. I stood from my bed and walked over to the door.  It was silent as I slowly opened it, peering my head from the doorway.

"Prince?" My voice asked quietly when I looked down to see him sitting against the wall, fully dressed in a now blue suit.

He looked up once he heard my voice, quickly coming to his feet, now standing tall in front of me.

"What're you doing?"

"Royal," He began quietly. He took a step towards be and gently took my hand. "I'm sorry."

I rolled my eyes and tried to take my hand back. He didn't let go, instead he pulled me closer to him.

"Please listen."

I stopped struggling, letting him take my hand and place it on his shoulder. He did the same with the other until he pulled our bodies together and held me.

My eyes watered as I gave in, hugging him tightly.

"If you're sorry, why come now." I mumbled against his chest. He took one of his hands from my waist, lifting up my head.

I realize his once forest green irises were now dulled by their surroundings redness.

He's been.. crying?

"Bambina, I've been outside this door for the last three hours." He said calmly, staring into my eyes as they widened.

"What?! Then why have I just now heard you?"

He simply shrugged his shoulders.

"I've been trained to keep quiet." He said nonchalantly. "You only heard me because I was trying to stop my phone from going off."

I gave him a short laugh as his face slowly turned red from embarrassment.

"Why didn't you knock?" I asked after a while.

"Because you wanted your space." He stated. I looked up at him and sighed. "And I respect your wishes."

"You have thirty seconds to explain yourself." I say as I turn around and go back into my room. I hear him follow after me, closing and locking the door after he entered.

"She came onto me." He said as he followed me around the room. I went from the door to the desk, then walked over to the bed a sat on it, watching him stop in front of me.

"Mhm."

He rolled his eyes and groaned at my response. He began talking quickly about how he has no feelings for Elizabeth. That he never had and never will.

"Why are you being so stubborn?" He asked, frustrated.

"Ten seconds."

He stares at me in shock.

"I'm in no way attracted to her. I only want you." He began, stopping his pacing in front of me. He bent down before me and held my hands. "Only you."

I gave him an unimpressed look. I took my hands from his and held them up as I counted, internally smirking.

"9."

He fumbled his words, trying to find something that could make this situation disappear.

"8."

"Baby."

"5."

He looked at me in confusion before he understood what I was doing.

"Royal, that's not funny." He said.

"4."

He smirked and leaned forward.

"3." I said as I kept my cool, dodging his potential kiss.

"Fine, you want a good enough answer?"

"2."

"I love you."
