The Facts of Becoming a Princess

CHAPTER 7: My Best Friend and I

CHAPTER 7: My Best Friend and I

Annelise:

He walked away and left me stiffed. I heard him whistling while on his way to the car and Mr. Moller? Oh! I totally forgot about him and the guards at my left side. I couldn't look at them and take a single step forward because I was humiliated by that arrogant Prince. How could he even?...... "aaaaaaagh!" my mind was shouting. I knocked, knocked and knocked my forehead until I felt the pain and rubbed it. I was stupid for letting him kissed me like that. I heard Mr. Moller blurted out a slight laugh, I looked at him questioning and then he coughed...

"Your Highness, if you please?...." he signaled his hands pointing to the pathway, smiled and I knew he was waiting for me to walk first. He was a gentleman and his gesture made me remember my best friend in United States.. Andrei...

I walked towards the waiting car. It was a Mercedes Benz.. black and elegant. I went straight inside the car after the guard opened the right door for me. I knew he was staring at me when I got in and when we were on the way to my apartment but I chose to not took a single glance at him because I really didn't know what to say so I just kept my head vowing.

The thought of Andrei made me missed him a lot.. He was an over protective best friend when it comes to other guys..and thinking of him punching Prince Edvard so hard because of the kiss is not impossible.

It was a regular school day when I first met him. I was 18 and he was 20..I was a freshman student and he was on his junior year and we both shared the same university. I didn't know any junior student that time until one day we accidentally bumped into each other on the street because of my vintage car. He helped me fixed it, talked for a while and came to know he was actually on his way to the same university. We instantly became friends then became best of friends..

He was from the School of Medicine and I was from the School of Culinary Arts so we always hardly find time to hang out together in the University but he would always visit me at home whenever he got free time to do it. I remember how he would always keep his school identification card from me and would always tell me he just didn't like the idea of seeing me laughing at his awful face on it. Well I finished studying in the University without seeing any of his identification cards. Yeah, that was weird but I just left it there. I also remember how he would always leave the University for a week to visit his native land and went back as if he never left his school responsibilities. That was also weird but I also left it there. I have to accept that it was Andrei Henry...my best friend... who doesn't want anyone to know he is filthy rich. Andrei Henry, the almost perfect guy in United States of America.. charming, dashing, intelligent, kind-hearted, talented, thoughtful, humble and sophisticated.

"I missed his funny way of calling me Liz." I thought and then I sighed.

The car stopped and I looked outside my window, I realized we were already in front of my apartment building. I waited for the guard to open my door and when he finally reached it and opened it I took a deep breath and faced Prince Edvard.

"I appreciated you drove me home...... g-good day to you.." I vowed my head a little to give him respect.

"Look, I'm so...." I heard him saying. i knew what he was about to say so before He finished talking I went out of the car and also vowed my head to the royal guard. He closed the door and then gave respect to me. I walked towards the building entrance without looking back because I knew he was still there staring at me as I walk away from the car. The song I heard inside the car while reminiscing my memories with my best friend made me more uncomfortable. Of all the people, why it has to be the Prince? My first kiss.

I looked for my mobile phone the moment I finished taking a bath. I dialed Andrei's number but the operator said it cannot be reached. I dialed it again and still, an operator answered me with the same sentence. I dialed his home number afterwards and an old lady answered it. I knew it was Letty his Spanish nanny since birth.

"Hi Letty! It's me Liz." I greeted her

"Annelise señorita! Como estas?" her surprised answer.

"Muy bien Letty, gracias." Those were the only spanish Letty taught me. "Hmmm...I was just wondering if you know where Andrei might be? I couldn't reach his mobile phone." I asked.

"Señorita, he didn't told you about leaving United States to practice Medicine?" she curiously asked.

"No Letty. He called me 3 days ago but he didn't tell me he needed to practice medicine. Where is he now?"

"Senorita, he asked me not to tell you about the country because he thinks you're just going to worry about him and he doesn't like that because he knows you are still grieving for your loss and he told me he will just add himself to your burdens. I'm so sorry if I couldn't answer you that." her voice sounded pitiful. I didn't ask her for more becAuse I knew she wouldn't dare speak. To her, an order from Andrei is an order. I ended the call and rest my back on my bed. Surely, I had a long day....I closed my eyes for a moment, touched my lips and tried to remember Prince Edvard's kiss. His lips were so soft and his smell was so masculine... I fell asleep thinking about the kiss I had with the Prince....

I woke up the next day with the sound of the door bell. it was 8 o'clock in the morning..I hurriedly washed my face and rinsed my mouth then run fast to the door. When I opened it I saw Mr. Moller again but that time it was totally different..he was with 10 royal guards and they looked anxious. I wonder why he was with a lot of guards...

"Your Highness, I'm afraid I'm suddenly taking you out from your apartment but we are seriously running out of time. Please fix your things and come with me." he said with worried expression on his face.

"Why?" I curiously asked.

He didn't give me an answer. He barged in, hurriedly went to my window and closed the curtains.

"Why did you have to do that Mr. Moller? Why do I suddenly need to leave this place? What is happening?" I continuously asked him. I heard the noise outside...people were shouting.

"What is wrong outside? Seriously?" I wanted to walk close to the window and check it but Mr. Moller was blocking my way.

"Your Highness, whatever it is. Keep your ears shut once we got outside. I will be accompanying you and the guards will protect you. Do not stop walking until we reached the car. You have to wear these..." he gave me a pair of sunglasses and a piece of cloth.

"What should I do with this cloth?"

"Put it on your head..cover your face and wear the sunglasses." Though I still couldn't understand what was really happening, I trusted Mr. Moller and followed her. I fixed my things wear the things he gave me and went to the door where him and the royal guards were waiting for me. I took a deep breath and looked at him.

"It's going to be alright Your Highness just remember my instructions. I will be walking with you and the guards will surround us." He explained and smiled.

I was feeling nervous and afraid of what I was about to witness while on the pathway to the building's entrance. And when we finally reached it, 2 guards quickly run towards the back of it and waited for Mr. Moller's go signal to open it. The guards were ready, Mr. Moller was ready and I wasn't. I was still wondering what was the noise behind the door...

And then Mr. Moller nodded to the guards telling them to open the entrance door.

1....2.....3....4....5....
