The Princess Within Me

Chapter 10

Sarah's P.O.V.

I couldn't sleep nor could I have a peace of mind. I was preoccupied with many thoughts and problems that I didn't know how to solve. I couldn't concentrate with my studies and I was always caught dumbfounded by my teachers.

I still kept on thinking if I was doing the right thing; if it was right to neglect my feelings for Cedrick in order to provide him happiness and freedom but whenever I pushed him away, he kept on going after me.

I knew that he was just worried for my sake, especially for his because he would be ruined to the public if our relationship would be tainted but I couldn't deny that it made me expect that he would like me too, yet I knew that it was the least thing he would do.

I woke up and I felt a massive headache. I knew that I was on my room already even if it was dark. I touched my forehead and I found a wet towel. I removed it and placed it on my side.

I can't exactly recall what happened but I think I was in the hallway when I suddenly blacked out and someone caught me. I can still feel the warmth that was given to me ... it was him!

I frantically rolled to my side and I switched on the lamp. I stood from my bed and I was about to leave my room when I saw Cedrick lying on my couch; he was still wearing his black suit.

I walked towards him and he looked heavenly and peaceful. I sat beside him to get a better view of his features. His eyelashes are average in length and he has a pale complexion. His lips are a light shade of pink and moist. Everything in him screams royalty and I'm not surprised with the many girls who want him.

His eyes fluttered open then he rubbed them with the back of his palm. I moved away from him but he caught me with his hand.

"Hey, are you fine? Do you want to eat something?" He asked thoughtfully and I just shook my head. He gently placed his hand on my forehead and I wouldn't deny that my heart beat faster. He smiled at me then he removed his warm touch from my head and I felt cold.

"By the way, what happened to the guests? Did they left already?" He smirked and I furrowed my eyebrows. What did he do a while ago? Did something happened? He was starting to freak me out!

He stood up and made his way to the door. He turned the knob but before he can truly leave, he said:

"Everyday, thousands of people die but many are also created and wait to be born. That's what I told them. Good night Sarah, have a sweet dream." With that, he left.

"What the heck! What does that even supposed to mean... Oh no, Cedrick!" I realized what he meant and I ran after him.

I left my room and saw him laughing so hard. He clutched his stomach and his face were so red already. I tried to refrain from doing the same but it was hard because his state right now were enough to make me laugh.

"Did you really told them that I lost consciousness because I'm pregnant?Really Cedrick, really? Even I wouldn't believe that." I inquired again after I regained my composure. He did the same and he straightened his posture.

"Of course I didn't! Do you want my parents to kill me? I said that you have a fever and you need to rest. The guests understood and now, the royal majesties are taking care of them." He explained. "You should sleep already so that you'll be better soon. Goodnight!" He commanded sweetly. He gave his one last smile then he finally entered his room. This past few days, Cedrick became sweet and kind; I wonder why.

I had a good sleep last night and I woke up feeling less terrible than before. I prepared myself for school then I had breakfast with Cedrick as usual.
