When The Sleeping Prince Awakens

Chapter 10

Bold: Mew Italics: Gulf

Every night has to give way for the sun to rise again. The warmth of the morning rays kissing his face, reminded him of the warmth he is feeling against his body. It was not just that, Mew felt something heavy and an ache on both his shoulders. The bright light made him squint as he attempted to open his eyes. He was dazed at what he saw through his partially opened eyes. He tried to free himself on reflex, but failed as arms wound him tighter. The prince sighed in despair. " Gulf...Gulf...wake up...." " What?? Can you not be a rooster for one day.. I am so fucking tired." " You called me a rooster..?? What do you take me for, your mattress... You should know that you are not as light as a feather.

Wait.. are you calling me fat.... I never knew that you where this weak, when you pulled me to bed with you. Excuse me?? Mew was shocked with Gulf's statement. Then why do you think I am here, I just tried waking you up to eat something and then you trapped me on bed, and you make it sound like I was dying to sleep with you. Are you blaming me, alright let's say I pulled you to bed, why didn't you wake me up and then you could have left. Gulf knew Mew was right, but he was never going to admit that. He wasn't sure why he settled on sleeping there in the first place. Of course I would have, if you were not whining in your sleep asking me to stay, you where calling for some Naira and I am sorry I felt bad for you, which I regret now.

" Can you guys just shut the fuck up. I am trying to get some sleep here." What the hell is he doing here? " How would I know? I opened my eyes just to see you two squeezing the life out of me. " Mew why are you up so early in the morning?.. Sun rises for everyone to get up. " Sun never said that my Prince. Phi Gulf...do you have any idea about how to put him back to sleep." How would I know? " If you didn't have the slightest idea about that, then why do you wake him up every single time he is asleep."

Why are you here by the way? " I woke up in the middle of night as I felt thirsty. When I came down, I saw this room open and then you two were having your cuddle time, so I thought I should join too. Why do you sound like you are not happy, that I am here. I never expected you two to make this fast progress.

" Ouch... why did you have to smack my head, it pains phi." If you both don't mind, can you both stop using me as your pillow, I can't even feel my hands. " No...I won't. You are so warm... It feels like home. Now both of you zip your lips, close your eyes and sleep, if not just lie down to give me company." You heard him, he is speaking as if he was sleeping on streets for long. Mew remained silent. Come on don't tell me you are touched. Gulf placed his head on a real pillow and laid at a distance from the prince. That ungrateful brat is right, this Giant is so warm indeed, I had been sleeping well since he came and yesterday I slept like a log. Gulf, what did I say the previous night...when I was asleep. Mew's question brought Gulf back from his thoughts. " Win is sleeping let's take this outside, we will talk as I make our morning coffee, I badly need one.

Is she your wife? Mmm... Nothing much, you just mistook me for her and said you knew she would be back and also you wanted me to stay. What happened to her. Gulf waited for a reply, but all he received was silence. I am sorry, I shouldn't have asked. There is nothing to be sorry about, I was silent because I was thinking what to tell you. To be frank I really don't know what happened to her. One day she was no where to be seen, I still can't conclude how she managed to walk out from palace without anyone noticing. She was the future queen and nobody knew where she went. There was no place left in the kingdom where I didn't search for her. I just wanted to know what was that compelled her to leave me and our son.

Were you angry with her? No... I am just guilty that I couldn't do or rather I never knew anything when she was helpless. Mew...Gulf placed his hands on the former's shoulders. I need to confirm certain things with you. Did you by any chance meet Naira when you were wounded in a forest, was she your saviour? The Prince's eyes went wide... How did you I never told you about this.
