When The Sleeping Prince Awakens

Chapter 12

What on earth have you done Win? Gulf who decided to check on Win keeping all his personal worries aside, was now seeing a not so pleasing sight. " Phi.... it's already six in the evening... I just have one hour and I don't even know what to wear. What shall I do now?" The young man threw the shirt on bed and sat down clutching his head in frustration. Seeing this Gulf couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh. Win it's just a date with a boy whom you were stalking since two years, it's not like you are going to walk on red carpet, just wear something and leave on time. And no wonder you don't know what to wear, all I saw is you grabbing the clothes and then throwing it all around the room.

" I am sorry, I should have never asked in the first place. When was the last time you were on a date, wait... have you ever been on a date? I had much more important things in life that going on dates. Win.... I understand you want to look good on your first date, but you never had a problem before in choosing what to wear, you had always been confident, then why is it difficult today. I am sure tonight is something that you have been dreaming since a long time, so just be yourself and live the moment. Win nodded his head with his confident smile back on his lips. Gulf walked out leaving the boy alone but not before reminding him that he wanted all the clothes back in the cupboard once he is back from the date.

" Just be yourself, Win... You are blessed with good genes and looks. There is nothing to worry, he is gonna like you just the way you are.... Now come on breath in . breath out.." Win stood before the mirror and talked to himself. He was trying all means to calm his restless heart, unfortunately they don't seem to work today and with his head being occupied by countless thoughts he failed to notice that he was being observed someone who stood just outside his room until a light chuckle escaped from the intruder. " Instead of laughing at me, why don't you help me?"

I am sorry, it was kind of funny watching you, but need to say your self motivation was pretty impressive. " Of course, I need to do that myself, nobody came to boost me up, you know when Phi Gulf came before, all that mattered to him was I made the room messy again, he didn't give a damn about what a big mess I was." Mew smiled gently at Win who just complained to him pouting about his brother. What are you worried about Win, didn't Bright tell he likes you too? " Yeah.. he did... but what if I mess things during date... you know I am kind of clumsy.... I always get things wrong at the last moment. What if he thinks dating me would be too much to handle and end things with me.

It's good you know quite a lot about yourself. You had always been like this, may be worse in the past... am I right? The young man nodded his head. And not even once Gulf complained about you being tough to handle, you are still here, it either means you are not as difficult as you say or Gulf loves you too much that all those are just trivial things to him. So by this I don't mean, that you shouldn't try to change yourself, if the change is for the better then you should, but if Bright proves all your worries true then all you need to know is that he is not someone worth your time and feelings. You don't need to have a reason to love someone, because if so then you will fall out of love when those reasons cease to exist. Win hugged Mew, his hands tightly wound around the Prince's waist, " You and phi Gulf gives me the same feeling, a warmth, feeling of being protected" he said. The older man, gently patted the young one's shoulder, but said nothing. Their little moment was distracted by a door bell, that was all that took for Win to leave Mew and rush downstairs.

For God sake Win, I am there to open the door. You better stop running and walk on your legs if you don't want to fall down the stairs and spend your first date on a hospital bed. Win smiled sheepishly and slowed down his pace while Gulf opened the door and let Bright in.

" Good evening Sir Gulf." Bright greeted, Gulf nodded his head in response, his eyes didn't fail to notice the latter's trembling fingers. " I don't get the point in being this excited, aren't their feelings mutual?". Gulf thought, but didn't voice his thoughts. The newly arrived young man gave the flowers he held in his slightly trembling hands to the equally, may be a little more excited young boy who stood behind Gulf. He heard a soft thank you coming from Win. You better bring him back before11."Phi..." Win whined. What? My house... my rules... that's it. " I understand Sir, I will keep my word."
