My Prince

Chapter 14

Christmas Eve came and I was at Luke's house celebrating Christmas with them.

"Did you like the roast turkey?" Mathilde asked me.

"Yes. It is so delicious," I said.

"Glad to hear that. That recipe is passed from generation to generation," Mathilde said proudly.

"Wow! My family will love this recipe," I said.

"Next time your family visit, hope they'll visit us too," Mathilde said smiling sweetly.

I gulped. "They will." I said.

We had a great time just hanging out in their house. Elle danced for the family and Mathilde and Bernard (Luke's father) sang a Christmas song. After this, we exchanged our Christmas gifts. I asked Luke what his parents' hobbies were. So, I gave Bernard a punching bag and a new briefcase for work while I gave Mathilde a gardening tools and a ladies handbag. For little Elle I bought her a princess dress and shoes. She really loves it and she quickly changed her clothes. I gave Luke a simple gift; I baked him a cake and bought him an ultra-light puffer jacket.

And I can't believe all of them got a gift from me. Mathilde and Bernard gave me a sweater which Mathilde sewn and a stainless steel watch. Little Elle gave me a snow globe with a castle inside.

"This is so cute Elle," I told her. "Thank you so much!" She then hugged me

Luke came to me and whispered, "I'll you give you my present later."

"I thought you already gave me my present?" I asked him.

He smiled at me. "That was a pre-Christmas gift."

When it was time to go home, "Thank you so much for the wonderful meal. And I wish you a Merry Christmas." I said to them.

They all greeted me back and Luke and I went outside. Luke then asked me to stand still for a while. We were in their porch, and the moon was so beautiful tonight.

He put out a small box and gave them to me. "This is my present for you," he said.

I opened the box and saw a silver bracelet with little bells on them. "Oh, this is so sweet. Thank you Luke," I said giving him a kiss in the cheeks. He put the bracelet on me.

He then shakes my hand. "Hear that sound?" he asked me.

"Yes," I said.

"Always wear this. Just shake your hand and I will be there for you," he said.

I looked at him and he was smiling at me so sweetly. "Luke – " I started. I decided to tell him the truth but he interrupted me.

He silenced me and caught my jaw in his palms and leaned close to me. He kissed me softly in the lips. "Don't forget that I love you," he said.

"I won't. I love you too," I said to him.

Luke drove me home. When we reached my house I noticed someone else in the house.

"A visitor?" Luke asked me.

"I guess," I said. "Do you want to come in for a while?"

"Sure," he nodded. He parked the car in front of our house. I knocked and I heard someone answer. That wasn't Isabella.

I was surprised who opened the door. My brother was standing in the doorway smiling at me. "Long time no see, Sophie," he said.

"Peter!" I exclaimed. "When did you – "

"Came?" he interrupted. "Just a while ago. I was really disappointed when no one was here before. Good thing Isabella is just at the house beside yours, and she came out and called me." He then noticed Luke at my back.

"Oh! Peter this is Luke, my boyfriend. And Luke this is my brother, Peter," I introduced.

Luke stretched out his hand and Peter shook it. "I was so relieved to see you Luke," Peter said. "You really are good looking. I was really worried that Sophie might end up with an old man."

"Peter," I hissed. I saw Luke blushed and smiled.

"Just kidding," Peter said laughing. "Come on. I bought foods from home."

I stared at Peter. At home? What kind of food did he bring?

"I really need to go home, Sophie," Luke said. "I'm sorry if I can't stay Peter."

Luke waved at me and went to his car and drove away. I entered the house and saw that Josh and Quinn were inside. "Merry Christmas Sophie," they both greeted.

"Merry Christmas," I greeted back.

Even though I'm full, I ate again. "Mother and father asked me to bring you your gift here," Peter said. "Also yours Isabella, your father's, and also with your friends."

"How did you know about them?" I asked Peter.

"Isabella," Peter said.

"Oh!" that was all I could say.

Peter bought out a small bag and opened it. "This is for you two," he means Quinn and Josh. He gave them a small box I know what's inside, jewellery. My mom was so fond of jewelleries.

"Thank you," Quinn said eyeing her box. It was shining.

"Thank you," Josh said.

"This is for you Isabella," Peter said giving Isabella a small box.

"Oh my God! He bought me another car," Isabella said opening her box and saw a key.

Quinn and Josh jaw dropped.

"And this is for you Sophie," Peter said giving me also another box.

Inside was a key. A key for a house. "They also gave me the same gift," Peter said. "It was a Villa for each of us. Mine's in the east side, yours in the west side."

"Tell them, Merry Christmas and thank you," I said.

"Also for my dad," Isabella added.

Peter excused himself for a while. Quinn and Josh suddenly talked. "A car?" Josh exclaimed.

"And a Villa?" Quinn said eyes widening. "I can't believe royalties gift that kind of things! I love to be in your place."

"You won't," I said. "When you were born that way."

"Why?" she asked.

"It's getting boring," Isabella said. "We did the same things everyday. We can't play like this; hang out with our friends till dawn."

"But I would like to try someday," Quinn said smiling. "For a normal teenager like me, it will be a dream come true to be a princess."

Peter came back and I asked him, "How long will you be staying?" I asked him.

"I'll leave the day after tomorrow," he said.

"That soon?" I asked him.

"Yeah," he said. "I've got responsibilities back there."

Oh! Yeah. Peter would be King someday.

Even though our parents were not with us this Christmas, we still had so much fun. Quinn told me that Peter was the handsomest Prince he had ever seen (and she told me Peter was the first Prince he ever saw) and that made me laughed. But then Isabella told her that Peter was engaged. But still Quinn fancied him.

This was one of the best Christmas of my life.
