Her Royal Shyness

Ch 38- Enchanted

Yssa's POV

~There I was again tonight, forcing laughter, faking smiles

Same old, tired lonely place~

Taylor Swift's song played in the background and the dancefloor was filled with lovers.

Jess and Marco, Nathan and Tricia (well I'm surprised, I thought they were enemies) were also in the dancefloor.

The Midnight Waltz, one of my dreams is to dance this with someone I love.

But he's nowhere near me.

Ironic, today's my birthday but I'm feeling extremely sad.

~Walls of insincerity, shifting eyes and vacancy

Vanished when I saw your face~

That familiar smell.

Shaun?

'Stop it Yssa, you're just hallucinating.' my inner voice said.

But being my stubborn self, I ran to the guy who owns the scent and disappointed I walked away, he's not Shaun.

'I told you so.' my inner voice said proudly.

"Yeah right!" I blurted out.

Not again, the guests were giving me weird looks.

Sometimes, I really hate myself.

"Old habits die hard. You really love talking to yourself."

~ All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you~

S-Shaun?

~ Your eyes whispered, "Have we met?" across the room, your silhouette

Starts to make its way to me

The playful conversation starts, counter all your quick remarks

Like passing notes in secrecy~

He looks breathtaking in that suit and tie.

Tell me, was this part of my hallucinations again 'coz if it is, I'll go see a psychiatrist immediately.

~ And it was enchanting to meet you

All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you~

"Will this beautiful lady dance with me?" he said while showing off his perfect set of pearly whites.

"Are you real?" I asked.

He chuckled. "Silly Yssa, of course I am. Why? Am I too good to be true?" he smirked.

That infamous smirk and his conceitedness confirmed that he's the real Shaun.

"You're real. And still conceited." I said that before smiling at him.

He laughed and it was music to my ears.

"Dance?" he offered his hand to me.

I nodded then grabbed his hand.

~ This night is sparkling, don't you let it go

I'm wonder-struck, blushing all the way home

I'll spend forever wondering if you knew

I was enchanted to meet you~

A gazillion of butterflies were fluttering in my stomach.

Every time he touches my hand, it always feels like the first time.

~ This is me praying that

This was the very first page, not where the storyline ends

My thoughts will echo your name until I see you again

These are the words I held back as I was leaving too soon

I was enchanted to meet you~

"I'm sorry Yssa." he whispered in my ear.

"For what?"

"For not being here when you're lonely."

"It's fine. I know what you've been through and I'm so proud of you." I smiled at him.

"You never fail to amaze me Yssa, you're just..." he shook his head before twirling me around and exchanged me to a random guy.

I smiled, it's Nathan.

"Aren't you gonna tell me about Tricia?" I teased.

"What?" he blushed. Very cute Nate.

I chuckled.

"I'm very happy for you Nate."

"Me too Yssa. I'm also happy for you. But if Shaun hurts you, tell me and I'll beat him up." he said.

"Okay, I will." I giggled.

We exchanged partners again.

"Hi babe." Marco winked at me.

I giggled.

"Hello Mr. Casanova."

"Stop calling me that. I changed Yssa." he whined.

"That's good. Coz if you hurt Jess, I'll shave your pretty little head." I warned him.

He chuckled.

"I promise." then he smiled at me.

"Good." I smiled back.

And another turn to change partners.

"Miss me?" Shaun's annoyingly cute face was now in front of me again.

"Not really." I said teasingly.

~ This night is sparkling, don't you let it go

I'm wonder-struck, blushing all the way home

I'll spend forever wondering if you knew~

"Yssa can I ask you something?" he asked in a serious manner.

"What is it Shaun?"

~ This night is flawless, don't you let it go

I'm wonder-struck, dancing around all alone

I'll spend forever wondering if you knew

I was enchanted to meet you~

"Will you be my girlfriend?"

~Please don't be in love with someone else

Please don't have somebody waiting on you~

"Thought you'd never ask." I smiled at him.

"Yes I want to be your girlfriend."
