CHARLES' POV:

I felt her body tense up as I ran my fingers along her back. I slowly pulled the zipper up as I wanted to savour this moment. The image of her back would be stuck in my head forever.

"Let's get going'' she said, moving away from my touch.

"Yeah'' I said as I grabbed my phone and followed behind her as she walked outside.

I knew exactly where to bring her.
Our walk there, wasn't awkward thankfully because for a moment I had thought I made her uncomfortable but she didn't act any different.

Just as we were about to reach the docks where my boat was, a young boy in a Ferrari hat stopped me, begging for a picture with a small smile on his face.
I looked at Alice and she nodded her head as the boy handed her his phone.

She stepped back a few steps and took our picture as I bent down to reach the boys height.

"Thank you so much, you are the real prince of Monaco'' the young boy said after Alice handed back his phone. He ran off giggling and the second he was out of sight, Alice smirked as she looked up at me and said.

"Prince of Monaco? I didn't know I was walking with a royal'' she poked my side in a playful manner.

"It's just what Ferrari fans like to call me, it's stupid'' I stated, shaking my head with a smile.

"Well you seem to love it, in-fact that's what I'm going to call you from now on'' she said while crossing her arms and stepping closer to me.
She had the most beautiful eyes I had ever seen, any time I looked into them I became entrapped in their beauty.

"Ok then, taxi girl'' I joked reminding her of our first encounter.

"Don't remind me'' she rolled her eyes as her phone started to ring. She put her finger up to signify she would only be a minute.

ALICE'S POV:

I answered my sister Lilly's phone call and knew straight away she would be mad at me as I told her I'd call her two days ago and never did.

"Look who finally decided to answer me'' Lilly spoke and I could sense the frustration in her voice.

"I'm really sorry, I meant to call it's just...''
I glanced at Charles who looked to be playing a game on his phone and I smiled to myself.
"... I've been a bit distracted''

"Alright, what's his name?" My older sister asked, she knew me too well.

"Why do you always assume I'm distracted by a man'' I whispered so Charles couldn't hear me before turning my back on him and facing the ocean.

"Well, what else would be distracting you?'' Lilly questioned with a laugh.

Just as I was about to make up a lie, Charles came up behind me and whispered something.

"I'm just gonna go to get some ice cream do you want anything?" He said quietly, trying not to interrupt my call, as he pointed at a near by ice cream shop.

"No thank you'' I said with a smile, Charles nodded and walked away, before my sister laughed down the phone.

"Aha I knew it ! There is a man'' she said proudly knowing she was correct.

"Ok fine. But he's just a friend and besides I only met him two days ago'' I defend myself as I see Charles helping an old lady carry her shopping to her car.
