A Royal Love: Matthew

Chapter six

I open my eyes. I fell asleep again, father and mother are going to be happy. I look to my right and see May asleep. She's beautiful when she sleeps, but she's even more beautiful when she's awake. When she's awake, I can see her eyes and they're gorgeous. I'm interrupted in my thoughts when my phone rings. I take it out of my pocket and look who's calling me. Father. I decline his call, I really don't want to hear him. I look at my phone and decide to turn it off. I look back at May. I see her still lying next to me but now she's looking at me. "Who was calling?" "My father." "That's no surprise, we fell asleep again. You haven't returned home, again." "Yeah, but I don't mind." She smiles. "I don't mind either."

She gets up. "Stay here, I'm going to get changed." I wait patiently for her to change her cloths. When she's done, she walks to me. "I'm done." Just when I'm about to get out of the bed, she lies down next to me. "Aren't you supposed to get back to the castle?" "I am, but I don't want to." She smiles at me. "You want to spend the day with me?" I smile at her. "I do actually, unless you have to be somewhere else." "I don't, but I have to warn you. I don't do anything interesting during the day." "Good, because I don't want to do much today." She laughs. " Come on, let's go eat some breakfast."

I follow her downstairs and sit down on a chair in the kitchen. She walks to me and takes my arm. "Oh no, you don't." "What?" "You may be a prince, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to cook for you." "Than what are we going to eat?" "Pancakes. And you're going to help." "I am?"

After a while, we were eating our pancakes. "I didn't think that you were that bad." "I'm not that bad." "You didn't know how to crack an egg." "I never cook at the castle, you should be happy that I tried." "If you didn't tried I would let you eat the egg-shells." "Would you really do that?" "Of course I would." "So what are we going to do?" "I don't know, usually I watch television most of the day or I'm training my fighting skills." "Let's watch television." She laughs and walks to the living room. I follow her and we sit down in the sofa.

After seeing a movie that May wanted to see, someone rings the doorbell. "Go hide." "I'm already leaving." I say walking to the kitchen. "Good." She walks to the front door and opens it. "Good morning officers. Can I help you?" I hear her say. That's the reason I came to the kitchen, now I can hear them. "Good morning miss. We still haven't found prince Matthew. The king has ordered us to search every house." "You think he's hiding?" "Yes, we're afraid so." "Oh no, I hope you find him soon." "May we enter and search your house?" She let them in. "Don't make a mess, please." They walk inside and look around. Oh no, what am I going to do now? "Do any of you want something to drink?" May asks the three police officers. "No, thank you." "Do I need to stay with you or can I get myself a drink?" "You can go get your drink, but after that you need to stay with us." "Okay, I'll be back soon." She says walking to the kitchen.

Once she's in the kitchen, she walks to the fridge and takes a beer. "What am I going to do? Where do I hide?" "In the basement is a box with some cloths, change in them so you can hide who you are. I'll tell them that my boyfriend is here too." "Okay, try to get them upstairs." "Be ready to go." She says and walks back to the officers. "Okay, I'm back. My boyfriend is going to come back soon, so don't be surprised when you hear the front door." "Where did he go?" "The bakery. Let's start upstairs." "Lead the way." One of them says. May smiles and goes upstairs with the officers following her.

I wait for a few minutes and walk to the basement as silent as I can. Once in there, I'm surprised to see that it isn't messy. Which is very good because of it I can find the box easily. I open it and get dressed.

Once I'm ready I walk back upstairs and open the front door and close it again, loud. I walk to the kitchen to pretend that I brought something from the bakery. When I walk back to the living room, I see May with the officers. "Oh, hello." I say to them. "So you're her boyfriend?" One of them asks. "Yes I am. Is there something wrong?" "We have to search every house to find our missing prince." "Yes, I heard about that. Do you know why he hasn't returned home?" "No we don't but we're sure that whatever it is, his parents will do everything to make him stay again."

When the officers left, May and I both fell down in the sofa. "I hate pretending to be so weak." She says. "And I'm happy that I can take of this wig, it's really itchy." "You should do that, blonde hair doesn't suit you and I like your black hair." I smile at her. "Thank you." "But take of the glasses you look like someone who is smart which makes me feel stupid." I take of the glasses and look at her. "You shouldn't feel stupid, you're perfect the way you are." "Don't say that... you're going to make me blush." I smile at her. "You would look cute with a blush." She playfully hit me. "I don't want to look cute." "Why not?" "Being cute won't help the rebels."

I look down. "I wished that I could help you more." "You can." I look at her. "Join us." "What?" I ask her. "Join the rebels." "You want me, a prince, to join the rebels against royals?" "I know that it sound silly, but you would be a perfect member." "I don't know... Will the others want me to join?" "Matt, the moment you spied on your parents, they all wanted you to join." I smile at her. "Well, I can't disappoint them." She smiles. "So that means that you'll join us?" "Yes, I'll join the rebels." She hugs me. "Thanks, that means a lot to them. But to me too, it feels good to know that Drake's best friend will avenge his death with me." I hug her back. "That does feel good. It's just sad that we'll never know who killed him."

She lets go of me and looks at me. "You don't know?" "What? What don't I know?" "Who killed him." "You know? How do you know? Who did it?" "Lorenz found a security camera footage." "So you've seen how..." "Yeah I did." "That must be awful." She looks down. "It was." "But who did it? Who killed him?" "Do you really want to know?" "Yes, please tell me." She looks at me. "Alright, I'll tell you.
