Nunew's POV

"Because .. I think ... I am in love with you .. your highness .." he said as I then felt butterflies in my stomach.

"What about you , your highness .." he said and I look away.

"I still don't know a lot about love ..." I said.

"B-But .. I definitely like you !" I said , looking at him.

"I like you a lot ..." I said , earning a chuckle from him.

"Then .." he held my hand making me look down.

"How do I make you fall in love with me ?" He asked making me smile slightly.

"You are teasing me .." I said pouting. He chuckled , grabbing my hand making me look at him.

"We'll take things slow .." he said.

"Okay .." I said , nodding as I smile.

"Okay .." he said and soon we burst out into laughter. He pulled me to his embrace as I slowly wrapped my arms around his waist.

"It feels surreal that I get to hold you like this .." he said making me smile. I close my eyes , feeling his warmth. After a while , we pulled away from the hug as he caress my head , gently. He then caressed my cheek as I look at him.

"Can I kiss you , your highness ?" He asked and I nod slowly. He slowly leaned towards me , closing the gap between us. I close my eyes and soon felt his lips on mine. I slowly replied back as his hand , dropped down to my waist. My hands traveled up toward his neck.

He groan in pain , pulling back as I frown in confusion. I then look down to see a huge bruise on his neck.

"Your neck .." I said.

"It's okay .. it's just a small bruise .." he said as I glare at him. I then got up , walking up to the first aid kit.

"Tells me if it stings .." I said , putting some cream onto his bruise. After I was done , I look at him as he smile gently.

"Zee .." I said making him hum.

"Does this makes us a ... couple ?" I asked, shyly. He chuckled , holding my hand. He brought it to his lips , kissing my knuckle.

"Yes .." he said making me blush a little. I chuckled looking away , biting my lower lips as I smile to myself.

We walked upstairs as I turned to Zee.

"I should go and sleep .." I said and he nod.

"Goodnight .." I said , giving him a small wave before going towards my room. I was about to open the door but soon sigh , clutching the handle before turning back to Zee.

"Zee .." I called out making him frown.

"I was wondering if you could sleep with me tonight .." I said making him freeze. I fiddled with my shirt , looking at him.

I look up the ceiling , fiddling with the sheets as Zee lay beside me. The silence made things even more awkward. I mean what do you expect ? It's our first night as a couple , as boyfriends. I turned to look at Zee as he did the same. I quickly look away , biting my lips.

"I should turn the lights off .." I said making him nod. I sat up , turning the lamp off. I leaned back , pouting as the air turned awkward again. I sigh , building up my courage.

"Must it be this awkward ?" I asked , breaking the silence. He chuckled, shaking his head. I then turned my body to him as he did the same.

"You must had a long day .." he said , caressing my head.

"You must be too .. you got hurt because of me .." I said.

"It's nothing as long as you are safe .." He said as I then held his hand.

"You should sleep .. " he said as I nod. I then made myself comfortable. I turn to look at Zee as he turn to me.

"Can I hug you ?" I asked making him chuckle , nodded. He open his arm as I slowly moved next to him. I hesitantly laid my head on his chest as he slowly wrapped his arms around me. He sigh comfortably as I smile to myself before drifting to sleep. 

- next day -

"Charan .. I love you ..."

"I love you too my prince .."

"Charan !!!"

I opened my eyes , breathing hard as I gulped my saliva down. Tears rolled down my cheeks unconsciously. I quickly wipe my tears away , sighing. I then realized I was asleep on someone's chest. I lifted up my head to see Zee fast asleep. I calm myself down , sitting up. I turned my body to Zee and smile.

"Is this guy really my boyfriend ?" I thought. I gently played with his hair making him hum in his sleep , frowning. I traced his eyebrow making him open his eyes sleepily.

"Morning .." I said softly as he smile.

"What time is it ?" He asked with his raspy voice.

"It's already 10 .. we need to get up because Nat is coming back today .." I said as he nod , slowly sitting up. He then looked at me frowning. He gently cupped my cheeks.

"What's wrong ?" He asked.

"Nothing .. it's just the dream I have .." I said , holding his hand.

"I should get dressed .." I said before getting out of bed. I fixed the bed before walking to the bathroom.

After a shower , I walked out not seeing Zee. I wore my sweater , walking out of the room. I then saw Zee coming out of his room , looking fresh. He smile as I jogged towards him , holding his hand.

We walked downstairs to the dining room to see our breakfast already prepared. I sat down as he sat down beside me.

"Max said they would arrive in an hour or so .." said Zee as we ate. I then placed my spoon down making him look at me.

"I was wondering if we could keep this relationship secret .." I said.

"It's not that I am embarrassed .. it's just that .. I don't want to freak Nat out .." I said as he smile.

"I told you that we will go slow .. remember ?" He said and I nod.

"So what do you want to do while waiting for them ?" He asked as I hum , thinking.

"Cuddles ?" I asked making him chuckle.

"Whatever you want , your highness .." he said making me frown.

"When are you going to stop calling me , 'your highness' ?" I asked.

"You are my prince .. and I want to respect that .." he said.

"Mai aow .." I said.

"You don't like it ?" He asked and I shook my head.

"Then .. what do you want me to call you ?" He asked and I smile.

"Nhu .." I said.

"But ..I am just a bo-."

"Well now you are my boyfriend." I said.

"You should now address me as 'Nhu' .. not 'your highness'..." I said.

"But-."

"As your prince , I demand you to call me Nhu .. from now on .." I said making him sigh.

"Fine .. but only when it's the two of us .." he said.

"Deal .." I said as we then burst out into laughter.
