BE MY PRINCESS

Selfish...

I was lead to prince Wilfred office and before I could ask Zain if he knew about what was going on, I was silenced. The door opens and my eyes met his, his ocean like eyes. I smiled and entered.
"Please have a seat Miss Andi" I took a seat than said
"You don't have to call my by my last name, I prefer Akane" he smiled at that and nods.

"So what's this about?" I questioned casually and he pushes some papers aside. He stood up and sat down across from me.
"My birthday's coming up and many people will be attending..." He informs and I nod while thinking about what this has to do with me.

"I wish for you to attend, not serve but attend as a special guest, will you accept this offer?" He questions and bit my lower lip. I spoke too soon I guess.
"But isn't it better if I helped out? I've like to lend a hand and be helpful..." With that response, his eyes lit up.
"You... Don't want to attend it?" He had on a disappointed expression and that made me feel guilty.

"I'm sorry to reject your offer! Really, your very kind to me but I really would prefer it if I... could be helpful..." I held my breathe, not wanting to upset him. "Ah! But, if you insist on me being a guest then I'll attend as I guest..." I smiled at him and he smiles back. He stays quiet for a while before looking at me,
"Attend as a guest, it's an order" he smiles and I couldn't help but smile back.
"Yes your highness" as soon as I finished that sentence, he goes back to frowning.

"Did I say something wrong?" I twiddled with my fingers... Gosh... It's so hard not to offend him, he's such a nice prince! at least... I hope I'm not offending him.
"I want you to address me by my name... At least... I'd prefer that" he looks down before looking back up at me. I couldn't help but be drawn in by his features. I stared at him surprised, trying to process what he had the said.

"You what me to call you by your given name? Why's that? It's not very formal and-" I was cut of short as he placed his arm on top if the table suddenly. I looked down at his hand then at him...
"Please..." he plead and I sat there dumbfounded.
"A-alright... as you wish..." I answered hesitantly and a smile forms on his lips. "Why are you faking a smile like that? you seem deeply troubled and hur- I'm terribly sorry!" I claps my hands over my mouth.

His expression lit up and just lips part slightly... "I'm really sorry! forgive me for speaking out so rudely like that!" I frantically apologized and blushed from embarrassment. To my amazement, he lets out a small chuckle. My expression softens and I felt a sense of relief.
"It's alright... I'm interested in you, how you can speak so casually to me but also have respect" he grins at me and I couldn't help but smile back.

"I guess... I'm just different..."

A Few Days Later; 2 Hours Before The Party

"Miss Andi, prince Wilfred has a gift for you and by the way..." he paused as he stares me dead in the eyes. "Prince Keith will be here, do not cause a fuss or I will throw you out. Literally..." he adds before turning his heel and existing my room. I sucked my cheeks in and looked at the door...
"Ah, Prince hot head" I tapped my temple before turning to the box. "I wonder what this could be?"

As I pulled it out, I see a beautiful lilac laced dress and smiled to myself. "this certainly is quiet pretty but it's really not my thing..." I sighed and looked over at my closet. I looked back down and noticed a letter on the ground. not hesitating, I picked it up and read it, it read...

I smiled to myself once more,
"This isn't (nessacarry) but... if you really insist..." I put it on as fast as I could and rushed down to Wilfred's office.
