INNOCENT LOVE(BL)

Chapter 5. IS IT STILL MY DUTY?!

" So you think you came in this palace to have fun? Dozing in flower garden and smiling in dreams like a princess.. well , just know you are in a big trouble.."

" Why ?" I ask wondering what he means by that because am already done with my work .

" The Crowned prince wants to see you." He says walking back .

" Why ? Am not his servant anymore , I was asked to work here." I answer following him.

" I don't know , why don't you find out yourself. "

I stop asking questions and I go to the mansion through the hallways up to his room while Jeremy goes to I don't know where.

" Where do you think you are going , you are not allowed to work here anymore. " the guard outside the prince's room say looking at me with knitted brows.

"Let her in ." The prince's voice is heard from inside and immediately the guard open the door for me.

I enter the room finding him standing near the window looking outside. His eyes seem to be focused on busy people down there. The room is on the second floor so it's easy to watch people from up here.

"Your highness, you called for me." I say trying to sound respective but deep inside am not , I think the way he behaved with me earlier has affected the way I think about him .

" Tomorrow princess Fernanda is coming, I need you to plan my outfit and make sure you let other servants know so that they make the preparation of everything. "

"Am.. I.. I don't work for you now , I was aske.." I try to find words to explain myself because it seems he hasn't been told yet, but he cut me.

" One thing I hate the most is repeating myself , Shorty."

" But I was asked not to work here anymore. " I argue.
" Who employed you?"

" You "

" Then who is supposed to fire you from this position?"
" You"
" Very well , then do your work . "
" But.. "
He cut me again..

" Go Maya , and tell that other girl that unless she has my permission to work for me , she shouldn't be around this room ." He says calling my fake name for the first time .

I walk out without any further argument . Am Really confused , he doesn't seem to have told anyone about getting me back as his servant , so what if the queen finds me here..?

" Wait.." he stops me just after stepping out of the room .

" Yes" I answer going back inside .

" The necklace that was bought,, so what do you think? Will she love it ?" He ask showing me the beautiful silver necklace in his hand .

" It's beautiful in my opinion , but am not familiar with her so I don't know if she'll love it or not " I answer with sincerity.

" Well,, it doesn't matter anyway , Am going to stop the plans of her and I tomorrow ." He then says making me surprised.

" What do you mean?" I ask curiously.

" I don't have the same feelings she has for me , before.. I didn't care if I had feelings or not , I was willing to marry her in the future because I had no interest and time to think about love and the preference of the person I want to spend my life with , but suddenly, my mind has changed. I think now I have a picture of the kind of a person I want . " He says looking out of the window , his back facing me .

" And why are you telling me this?" I find myself asking since I have no idea why he's telling me and what I should tell him As a reply .

Is this also the work of a maid? To be told personal issues , we just met..

" Because I want you to know , why else? Besides , you are my servant , you are supposed to bear my burden too , didn't they tell you that?"

" So what am I supposed to do with this kind of information. " I ask.

" Oooh.. shorty , so you were telling the truth , you are really dumb" he says smirking and then his face turn expressionless almost immediately.

" Ain't you going to ask me why I've changed my mind. "

" No.. am sorry , I don't think am the right person you should be opening up to , am terrible at everything , I told you already, I can't even offer advice , am even afraid to hear other people's personal informations." I don't know why but for some reason I don't want him to tell me more .

" You really think I can ask you for advice? Hahaa.. Shorty can you stop being funny.." He says laughing which annoy me.

" Then why are you telling me?"

" Ugh,, forget it . " he says simply.

" Okay." I say heading to the door.

"Okay , maybe am worried because I know my decision will create a big fuss but if I don't want something.. I don't, and if I want then I want. "

I stop turning to him again ,, aah.. this feels just about good , I can't believe how we've just clicked , it's almost unbelievable.  "Why are you changing your mind about her anyway , I've heard her praises and her reputation is good so why throw away the gold that every man is yearning for ?! " I ask feeling so proud of myself thinking that now am doing my job greatly, I can even advice the prince , but the next thing that leaves his mouth dumbfounds me .

" Exactly, why don't you ask yourself that question first" He say leaving me curious.

" What question?" I ask hoping that he elaborates.

" You know.. when I was Looking at those girls , walking round and round , all I could see in their eyes is lust , their eyes showed how much they are yearning for me, I literary saw them undressing me with their eyes which really annoyed me , but then there was you who seemed to be unbothered and no trace of what showed in those girl's eyes in your eyes ."

I couldn't help but burst out laughing, I think this is where I belong , around him, because I really feel free , I don't think I've ever laughed like this before or talk to anyone this much. "So that's the reason you chose me?" I ask after laughing for a while but stop after realizing that his face is all serious.

" What's funny about that? I was just curious, but for some reason am glad I chose you because you are lively and seem to be a good little girl ."

I flinch . Any topic to do with me being a girl gives me chills so.  "I should pass the information that you asked me to , and prepare everything for tomorrow." I leave closing the door behind me without waiting for his reply .
