The Charming Prince

Chapter 37: Questions.

Check out my new book,

The forbidden love.
It's on my profile..thank yewwww

Leo's pov
Things have been oddly weird for me. First, I received another letter telling me I have two weeks left.
Secondly, Mira has been a little down since she came back from her 'outing' a week ago.

On the bright side, there are some things I found that could potentially lead me to RD. She wants Mira's shares and I narrowed my suspects down to two people

Jack, Mira's dad, and

Lisa Mellark, the demon.😒

I think we can guess I really hate Lisa. I didn't always hate her though.

"Hey Leo" Mira said from my door.

"Yeah?" I said, as I signaled her to walk in.

"Can I ask you one thing?" She said as I brought her to sit on my lap.

"Anything" I assured.

"What's your relationship with Lisa. Lisa Mellark?" I didn't expect her to ask that.

"What's my schedule for today?" I asked the shacking form, standing in front of me

"Uh...you have a business meeting with Mr McClair. And the rest of your week is filled with interviewing the candidates for the....the.....the uhhhh"

"Calm down and take deep breaths" I said, and she nodded.

She was finally calm enough to speak and I asked her what was wrong.
"I-my mom is sick and I have to go to her....what...what if she doesn't make it....what if"

"Go see her. Take the week off" I would never keep someone away from a sick relative.

"Thank you so much sir. Thank you" she said before running out.

"Over the course of a year, She and I grew closer. Close enough for me to share business ideas and money making deals with her. Something I was made to regret.

Long story short, she gave those ideas to other companies for money and a ticket to fame. Now she's the famous,

Lisa Mellark."

"Oh, I'm sorry that happened" she said, with her head on my chest now.

"I'm wasn't really affected by what she did financially..."

"She betrayed your trust" Mira completed my sentence and I nodded.

"It's hard to admit that I did trust her, but I did" I said looking down at her.

"Do you trust me?" I don't know where that question came from. Then again, this is Mira. Full of surprises.

"Why'd you ask that?" Her face dropped for a second before regaining its normal look.

"Well...I ...uh I just wanted to know. I mean it's fine if you don't. I just..." she talked non stop and I did the only thing I found reasonable at this moment.

I kissed her. At first she didn't respond. Probably because she didn't expect me to kiss her, but she returned the kiss after a while.

Our lips moved in sync and it felt perfect. She had her arms around my neck and my hands were on her waist, pulling her closer to me like we weren't close enough.
I lost track of time with her lips on mine, and only let go when I was sure I had tasted her lips enough. We pulled away breathless. She had her forehead on mine, as we shared the same breath.

"Of course I trust you" I felt the need to let her know even after it seemed like we had forgotten the conversation we just had.

"Why?"

"Because you're willing to be with me when you know about the papers" she looked a little surprised "You knew I would ask you to give up your inheritance and you're still with me"

"How did you know?"

"Do you think I didn't notice you listening in on conversations with Sam and I this past week" I said earning a look of understanding from her.

She was quick to change the subject.
"I have one more request" she said, raising her index finger.

"Anything"

****
"I'm starting to rethink my decision Mira" I said looking at the girl beside me.

"Well you said anything"

"Yeah, and I'm starting to rethink that decision" I said pointing my paint gun at her.

"Oh come on. It'll be fine. It's just paint ball"

"You say that and some how, I'm more worried" I said as she dragged me along, to God knows where.

****
The game is almost over. All we have to do is 'kill' one last person. I and Mira decided to attack him at the same time.
So, here I am now, behind a fake bush with Mira on the other side, getting ready to attack.

I waited for even the faintest sound to indicate the last opponents presence. After a while, I heard a branch break and stood up to shoot, before realizing it was my teammate, Mira.

"What are you doing? Aren't we supposed to be 'in hiding' till the enemy approaches?" I said, repeating her words.

"Well he's taking too long and being far away from you scares me a little"

"As corny and cute as that sounds, I'm invested in this and we have to win" I said shooing her back to her position. "Now go back" from a corner I saw a figure get up and point his gun at her.
I didn't know I was moving, till I got to Mira and collected the 'bullet' for her.
I made my fall overly dramatic and she held me as I did.

"Leo! You were the one who didn't want to lose, so why the hell did you.." I Placed my index finger on her lips

"Shh...make sure you win" I said, before taking in a fake 'last breath'.

"Whatever Leo" she got up and was immediately shot by paint. The arena was filled with cheers from the winner and I looked at Mira in disbelief.

"Are you kidding me? I took a bullet for you and here you are, in the 'afterlife' of paint ball" I knew she was trying to hold in her laughter and I proceeded to leave first.

"Wait..are you angry?"

"I'm not angry Comrade, I'm disappointed" she finally burst out laughing and I left first. I couldn't hide the smile on my face.

"Hey wait up!" She shouted, and I waited for her to catch up, before putting my arm over her shoulder and pulling her in.
I could get used to this feeling.
