THE PRINCE AND I

🌹²⁸

6am

Benedict put on a neon green sweatband over his forehead, he tied up his takkies and went for his morning jog.

He didn't sleep that much, all he could ever think of was if his family was right that he was gay. He knows he's not but why did Xavier have that effect on him?

The blaring sound of a car horn made him flinch, he was yanked back by the arm making him stumble backwards. He gasped when a car zoomed past where he was running to.

He looked at his savior's eyes and gulped, it was Xavier.

"Well hello"

Benedict stood up straight stuffing his hands into the pockets of his shorts.

"Mn, what's up bro?"

Xavier chuckled. He leaned in to Benedict's face.

"That's a big package you're carrying Sweetheart, do you know how to use it?"

Benedict was confused. Package?

"I don't remember carrying a bag" he says stepping back.

Xavier smiled.

"I'll tell you what i meant next time, see ya"

He watched him walk off. Xavier was wearing a simple sky blue shirt and black slacks with white sneakers yet he looked like a supermodel. Benedict frowned.

"How can someone look that good, tsk no fair at all"

"Waistline size 38"

Skye blushed. Did the lady have to yell out his measurements!

It's midmorning at the palace and Skye, along with Queen Star were at the tailor's fitting room.

"What is your favorite colour dear?" The lady asks.

"Red"

Star choked on her juice.

"Oh dear, i think lilac or teal would do"

Skye frowned.

"No, i said red, my favorite colour is red"

The tailor suddenly felt awkward. Meanwhile Star and Skye seemed to be in a stare off.

"Red is a bold color used for some events not like these one" said the queen. Unfortunately for her, Skye was not in the mood.

"My favorite colour is red so from now on, all my outfits for formal events will be red, including the wedding suit"

Star felt like fainting. What was going on?!

"Skye, you are a royal now, you should dress like one"

"No offence your majesty but the royal family style sucks, no wonder you wear summer dresses in the colour beige. Well I'm the future queen so i officially decree that all my outfits will be Red"

She does admit, the boy had guts. She smiled.

"You heard him, make it red"

Skye smiled. Did he just win an argument with the queen?

"Being a queen sometimes means your opinions are not heard, especially when it comes to royal duties. They think we're just there for the crown, so to see that fighting spirit in you makes me feel happy that our kingdom is in good hands" she confesses.

"I....I don't know what to say"

"It's okay, you'll say it when the time is right"
