The Prince Bought Me

T H R E E

I don't know why we ended up in a salon. Last time I checked we were creating havoc inside the car, not the kind of havoc you were thinking. The next thing I know we were sitting in a posh chair in a private room inside of the salon with only the two of us and the hairdresser named Wynne was dyeing Sage's hair into brunette.

*Flashback*

"Where exactly are we going?" I asked Sage as we passed the gate and I noticed there were actually paparazzi outside. Their cameras were flashing brightly as we passed. Good thing our window were tightly closed. Then it hit me. "Sage?"

"Yes?" He looked at me with confusion and saw the panicked flooding my face. "What? Are you okay? Is something wrong?" He asked, concern lacing his voice.

"It's just that, you know, because, it's just because-"

"You need to breathe Allie." He laughed at my discomfort and I tried breathing in and out.

"Does the queen know that you were in that auction?"

"First question, you'll see where we are heading and your next question, yes of course. My mother knows every affair that I attend." He flashed me grin and I relaxed at it.

So the queen knows. That's it. I need to relax and enjoy the moment. That's right. I just need to feel the moment and take advantage of the situation. Oh yes! I have a mission to accomplish. What if I seduce the prince?

I felt my eyes bulge at that. I don't have an idea how to do that. I'd end up looking like a hyena if I try to do that. Abort mission, I'd also end up being like Scarlet Overkill if I do that, trying to steal the crown or whatsoever. And yes, I love minions, who doesn't? They're like the cutest creatures! I swear if I do see one I'm going to adopt him and he'll be a royalty because his father will be Sage!

Oh my God, where did that came from?

I shook my head at the process and stared at the window to prevent crazy thoughts from invading my mind. As I stared outside I caught sight of a limousine from the side view mirror. They were following us closely behind and I recognized them as Sage's bodyguards from the England flags on the car.

I guess being a prince does have its faults huh? I already hate it when I'm inside a store and salesladies are following me around like I'm going to steal something. I don't have anything against them. It's just that it's really infuriating.

As we drove farther, I realized the mansion wasn't exactly in New York, it was actually somewhere in the outskirts of the city. Sage must have been here loads of times since he was driving smoothly. Not a moment later, we were already inside the busy city and the streets were packed as usual.

Soon after, Sage parked the car in front of the Aidon's Salon. I recognized it since I always passed it by when I'm window shopping but I've never been inside before. The salon is actually for elites and I don't want to spend hundreds just for a haircut.

I was startled when a camera flashed directly on my window and I realized the paparazzi actually followed us. Sage turned off the ignition and put on the Ray-Ban that was hanging loosely on his tee shirt before. While he was checking himself on the rear view mirror, I rushed to brush my hair using my hands. I don't want to get out looking like I've been attacked by a grizzly bear. Hell, why didn't I bring a brush.

"Allie." I turned to Sage and found him observing me. He looked back at me and gave me a smile. "I'll get out first okay? Wait for me and I'll open the door for you."

I nodded at him and he got out. Soon after, the door to my side was opened. I tried getting out like how the celebrities do it during movie premieres but I almost ended up kissing the goddamn floor. Good thing Sage was there to catch me just in time. As you can see, I have a pretty good job at embarrassing myself. I can already hear a loud applause inside my brain. I swear my brain loves to mock me.
