Chapter 4

A N A S T A S I A

Bright light from the sun was shining through the curtains on my window. I opened my eyes groggily, and squinted as the sun shone in them. I let out a tired yawn and tried to sit up. When I didn't budge, I tried again. This time something tightened around me. Am I wrapped up in the covers again?

I look down to see what's holding me down and I see an arm wrapped around my waist. Tattoos was littered across the fore arm. My eyes widened in fear. Did I have a one night stand or something? I look beside me, and see Louis there. His feathery brown hair was fanned out on my pillow. He was breathing softly as he lightly snored.

I blinked down at him, and memories from last night popped into my mind. I had come back from my family's house and I was about to fall asleep. Until Louis came over here at midnight. First he figured out that I was on my period which made me really embarrassed. Next he got close to me, and kissed my cheek. Then he asked if he can sleep over here since the guards locked the castle up and I let him. But I thought he went to lay on the couch. What is he doing in my bed? We didn't...No we didn't because I was knocked out after I went upstairs and got in bed.

I stared at his beautiful sleeping face, and I couldn't help but run my hand over his chiseled cheekbones. Even when he's sleeping he looks like a god. I cringe at my creepiness. I glance over at the clock, and saw that it was seven in the morning. I have an hour till I have to get up and go to work.

But I have to wake Louis up. Even though I don't want to, I don't want him to get in trouble for sneaking out the castle. Or get reported missing. I can imagine the signs all over England and on the news all around the world. "PRINCE LOUIS TOMLINSON OF CAMBRIDGE MISSING!"I giggle at the thought. Louis shifts a little and his blue eyes flicker open. He gives me a sleepy smile, and yawned. Right in my face.

I covered my nose, and fanned his stinky breath away. He chuckles as he sits up. His voice was really deep and husky. My insides started going crazy. I quickly get rid of the thoughts before he notices and starts asking me questions like he did last night.

"Good morning, Anastasia." He emphasizes my name as he gives me a kind grin that shows off his beautiful white teeth. I immediately swooned at that.

"Good morning, Louis." I mocked him with my own grin. Right now I feel like i'm dreaming. The Prince of Cambridge is right next to me, and we're joking around with each other. All his fans would hate me for this. Just thinking about that makes me shiver.

Louis gives me a cute puppy dog pout, and sticks his tongue out. I laugh and kick my legs off the bed. He whines in protest and pulls me against his chest. I yelp in surprise, and then fall into a fit of giggles.

We laugh together for a while, until I protest that I have to pee. Louis reluctantly lets go of me with the pout from earlier back on his face.

I hurry into the bathroom, and use the loo. As I use it, I think about my interactions with Louis. It's strange how we met at the coffee shop I worked at, and went from strangers to friends. I wipe my bum, and flush the toilet. I wash my hands thoroughly with my favorite scented hand soap that I have fallen in love with.

I reach for my toothbrush and toothpaste. I squirt the toothpaste on my toothbrush and start brushing my teeth. Once the toothpaste turns to foam I spit it out in the sink. I rinse out my mouth and reach for my wash cloth. I wet it and wash all the sleep out of my eyes.

I finally feel refreshed and I walk into the bedroom. Louis is still sitting in my bed but he's texting on his phone. He looks up and when he sees me and a smile spreads across his face. I reach for my jumper that I threw on the floor last night, and shrug it on.
