Snow White & the Billionaire Prince

Chapter 4

❁ Scarlet ❁

The runway cleared out as everyone headed back to there transportation vehicles.

Our limo pulled up and Caleb opened the door for me to get in first. Once I got in, he ran around the back and opened the door on the other side to sit next to me. Then, he told the limo driver to drive back to my hotel.

The drive took about 10 minutes, and during that time Caleb and I takes about the show.

"What did you think of it?" He asked, facing me with a smile.

"I really loved it," I said enthusiastically, "I loved every piece, but my favorite was the finally." I said, but Caleb's cheeks started to turn a slight red as he scratched the back of his scalp.

"Ah, thanks. I made that one." He said with a small chuckle. Aw, he looks cute and helpless when he's embarrassed.

"It was really beautiful, Caleb." I told him in a reassuring manner. He looked up and gave me a smile of thanks.

⌜ Caleb ⌟

Before I knew it, the limo driver announced to us that we've arrived at the hotel Scarlet was staying. I didn't want to say good bye just yet. I wanted to spend every possible second I could with her.

I got out of the limo from my side and went over to open the door for Scarlet.

"Can I walk you up?" I asked, holding out my hand. She took it and got out.

"S-Sure." She replied, and together we walked in the lobby towards the elevators.

The elevator stopped and from this point I followed Scarlet to her room.

Room 620. Noted.

Scarlet stopped in front of her door and turned around towards me.

"Well...uh...thank you for inviting me to the fashion show, and for taking me home." She said kindly shyly.

"Hey, it was my pleasure." I said shrugging my shoulders, and she gave me a smile.

I really didn't want to leave her, even though I would see her at work tomorrow.

She rummaged through her purse and got out a door key. I really, really wanted to stay...

❁ Scarlet ❁

Just when I was about to unlock my door, I felt Caleb's hand yank at my elbow, pulling me back into his chest. Wrapping his arms around me in a tight embrace. I couldn't move. We stood like this for several moments.

My face was buried into his chest, and I smelt of cologne. I felt a bit of weight on top of my head, which I assumed was Caleb's head on mine.

"Caleb?" I mumbled, still in his arms. It took him a second to respond and let me go, placing his hands on my shoulders.

"I'm sorry," he began, "I don't know what came over me." His face was red.

"Don't worry about it." I said, reluctant to look at him anymore.

His hands traced up to my face, cupping my cheeks. He pulled my face closer to his, forcing me to look him in the eyes, and he leaned in closer.

Closer, and closer until our lips met. His eyes were closed as our lips gently touched, without moving. His lips were so soft. I gave in and closed my eyes.

Caleb must have been having the same feelings towards me as I had towards him. Or he might be drunk, but I didn't see him drink anything during the show.

We slowly parted, our gaze stuck on each other, until a flash caught our attention. Caleb wrapped his arm around me to cover me from the wave of flash photography.

"Come on, guys, get out of here!" He yelled, throwing his arm to motion them away, but kept on taking pictures.

Caleb took the key from my hand and opened my room door, then handed it back to me.

"Go inside," he began pushing me inside, "I'm sorry for all this, I'll see you tomorrow." He said, vanishing into the crowd, pushing them back. I closed my door.

********************

It had been a couple of hours since the paparazzi incident, and I didn't dare go outside again.

After binge watching Pretty Little Liars on Netflix, I checked my phone for the time and decide to get ready for bed.

I head over to my bedroom and change into my pajamas, a loose t-shirt and shorts. After, I tied my hair in a messy bun and walk into my bathroom to wash off my makeup and brush my teeth.

My phone starts ringing and I hurry over to grab it from my bed. Ashley was calling me, so I picked up.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Hey girl, sorry I called so late. How's Paris and everything?"

"No it's fine. Paris is beautiful, and I'm working for Miranda Corps!" I quietly shrieked, and Ashley did too.

"I'm so happy for you, Scarlet. Tell me all about it." So I did, even the parts involving Caleb and I, and our kiss. After I finished my story there was a long pause on the other end.

"Ash?" Then anther shriek.

"Oh my god, you're dating Caleb Corps!"

"We're not dating-"

"Yet."

"Well, I didn't come to Paris to date a billionaire, I came to fulfill my dream of becoming a fashion designer. Besides, I've only been here for less than a week, I barley know the guy!"

"Whatever you say." She said in a smart tone. I can get the feeling she's rolling her eyes. "You know you like him. Come on, Caleb is one of the hottest guys on the net right now. Who wouldn't like him?"

"No thanks, Ash." I said, making her sigh.

"Tell you what, I can come and live in Paris with you!"

"What, really? Ash, that's awesome. You can stay with me at the hotel I'm at." Having Ashley around makes me more comfortable, for she was a very outgoing person.

"I got you girl. I'll be arriving this weekend."

"Okay."

"Laterz."

"Bye."
