My Moon Prince ✔️

-LIKE THE PRINCESS-

I stared at the message and gripped my phone with both hands. Call him? I hadn't even thought of that until just now.. but what's going to happen big? I cleared my throat softly and, my heart racing, pressed the green button. My heart rate increased and my hands started to sweat. Why was I so nervous? I knew his voice and him and-

"Hello?" That voice. It was so deep and so hoarse on the phone. Even when he was quiet, I could still hear the Liam I gave my number to. His warm voice. It sounded so incredibly comforting that everyone my tensions dissolved and I sat down properly on my bed.

"H-hey.." I breathed and cleared my throat again. "Hey.."

-Liam-

It was the little things in life that I enjoyed. Not the big ones like the balls, events with a thousand guests, charity gallas and all those birthdays. I preferred phone calls that went on for hours, I loved walks at night and the rain to dance with someone.

"You really should go to bed, Ciny." I whispered and waited for a reaction, but when nothing came, I smiled slightly. Did she really fall asleep on the phone? And I couldn't even wish her good night. But there was still tomorrow for that one day. After two hours of talking, we switched to video chat at some point so that the cell phone wasn't in the way and you were sweating all over it. Ciny must have fallen asleep because it was dark in her room and only one light was on in front of her. Probably only the night lamp. I went silent so as not to wake her and slowly sat up in my bed. She looked so peaceful when she slept. But I should hang up so she can sleep peacefully for the rest of the night. No sooner said than done. Me put my phone on the bedside table and changed into my sleeping clothes.

My thoughts have been circling around this girl for days. Ever since she punched my nose in the graveyard. Since she was desperately looking for a cloth to press it under my nose again. While walking at the traffic light I had seen her struggling with her shopping bags and was visibly on the verge of simply kicking them away. What would really have happened. She was energetic and lively. She told me about her stepmother but I could see how Ciny could handle it. What is she really like? After knowing her for years.. I just couldn't get this girl out of my head but I really should go to sleep now. Because tomorrow is the drawing of the guests for my party.

"Good morning father, good morning mother..." I greeted my parents cheerfully and helped myself to the buffet.

"Well, look! Someone's awake and alert.", my mother hugged me gently as I hugged her briefly from behind. Her gentle laughter made my day all the better and I got myself a coffee. "What's her name, my boy?", Mom looked at me with her motherly eyes and I knew I couldn't lie to a mother.

"Cinderella. Cinderella Jefferson. Like the princess from the fairy tale.." I said and my father looked up. "No father, she is not a princess of status." I laughed as my father sighed theatrically and continued reading his paper. "I met her in the cemetery when she fell asleep on the ground in front of a grave and I just wanted to wake her up. Well she missed me one and desperately apologized to me. She wanted to do the cleaning for my shirt, can you imagine mom? And she always looks so cute when she swears. So so cute escape stop. Or when she puts her strand behind her ear, but it falls back again. That face she's making..", I laughed and looked at my croissant when I realized something. "Oh no.."

"You're in love, my boy.", my mother took my hand and I shook my head. That can't be.. I've only known her for a few days..

"Oh.. don't talk nonsense, Mom. We've known each other for a few days. It must just be the feeling of a new friendship."

"Does she know you're the prince, son?"

"No mom. I haven't said a word about it and I don't think she knows either. If she had known, she would hardly have offered me to do the cleaning..", I drank my coffee and sighed softly. "Do you really think I could fall in love?"
