The Lovenina Princesses: NEW Beginnings (Book 1)

Chapter 10

~Lucy & Hunter ~

"How are you?" They both asked at the same time.

"Sorry, you first."

Hunter grinned, sitting down on the end of the bed, "I am ok thanks to you."

"You would have done the same if it was the other way around, but your welcome," She said feeling her cheeks heat up.

"You?"

"I mean, I wasn't the one who was knocked out during the fight this time so... I guess I'm ok mostly," She laughed as she enclosed the space between herself and him with a hug. "I am thrilled you are still here."

I watched as Lucy's face lit up as I thank her... god she is amazing she fought the pain of bleeding, bruise rips, and dragged my sorry ass out of there, while she was fighting unconsciousness. Her determination is extraordinary... but she needs to be careful determination can turn into recklessness. I learned that the hard way.

He was shoved out of his thoughts as he felt warm, light, tight arms wrapping around him.

When did she get to the end of the bed?

"I am Thrilled you are still here." She repeated.

"Same here."

"Jeez, did you charm me or something," She chuckled, pulling away, and continuing her thought. "I said I wasn't here to make friends and here we are. You somehow made the wall break that I have built around my heart."

Damn, I miss her warm arms around me.

"The ladies just find me irresistible," He stated, flexing his arms.

She giggled, "I don't think that is it."

"Well, we will find out soon Lucy won't we."

"Hunter Woods. I do not find you irresistible."

"Prince."

She elbowed him, "Prince, Hunter Woods. I Princess, Lucy Heart do not find you irresistible."

"Ouch! way to hurt a man's ego," He grabbed his chest and pretended to faint.

"You aren't even close to a man."

"Aah! the pain," He gasped, rolling off the bed.

"Yo—" She stopped, falling into a laughing fit as he pulled her onto the floor.

💖

Hours passed as they continued to lay on the cold, hard tile floor taking turns telling the cheesiest jokes.

"What do you call a fake noodle?"

"I know it, but I don't want to say. It's so bad." She chuckled, twirling a strand of her wavy hair around her pointer finger. While he fidget with his's gem.

"You really aren't going to say it?" He asked.

"Nope, it's way too bad."

"Fine, I would take one for the team. An impasta!" He announced with the goofiness grin like it was the funniest thing he ever heard.

"It's so bad."

"You don't respect good puns."

I didn't know Hunter was so charming, and hilarious. I feel like he is showing me a whole new side of him. I never thought someone's smile, laugh could be so beautiful and his energy is intoxicated. "I should go back to laying down all this laughing is hurting my side."

Hunter smirked, "So what I am hearing is that I am so irresistible that I made your injury act up... I don't know if that is a win, but I am taking it as one since I got to see you laugh so much that you looked like you peed your pants," He pointed out as he helped her back to bed.
