The Bodyguard

| chapter - 10 |

I walked towards him as slowly as possible trying to breathe normally. And though I see him like every freaking second, I was nervous right now.

"And you said I couldn't find you." Was the first thing he said.

"You trapped me into coming," I answered getting immediately defensive.

He stared at me for a while making me even more anxious.

"God, you are beautiful!" He murmured more like a thought to himself.

It was weirdly wonderful to hear him say that.

"Why are you here Prince, if my father saw you it will be scandalous." I gave him a coy smile that was so not me.

"I am here to meet you. I can't get you out of my head." He stated with an intense gaze.

But somehow I found it kind of funny.

"One hit on the head might do the trick." I murmured to myself.

He thought I was just shy.

"Care for a walk Princess?" He asked courteously.

"It would be better if we returned to our quarters." I was already getting anxious.

He just came forward and took my hand in his. My heart thumping really fast.

"Your Kingdom is on the top right now." He said slightly awkward.

Was he nervous as well?

"Someone awesome is representing is now," I said, proud of myself.

"We will see." I detected a tone of jealousy and was immensely amused.

So I decided to have some fun to ease myself since he was still holding my hand.

"He is dashing and witty as well." I lied, feeling excited.

His gaze hardened and he became stiff letting go off my hand. I held back my laughter.

"I am sure he is just a pretty playboy" His tone was cold now.

"I don't think so. He treats me well."

"So is he your partner for the dance tonight?" He was angry and I was successful.

"I am not going ,I am tired."

"You have to come because I don't think I can survive that boring party without you." He said sincerely again affecting my heart.

"Please Prince, you will many princesses dying for your attention." I smiled slyly at him.

"And I am looking for just your attention." His low tone made something turn in my gut.

"You are a smooth flirt Prince. I bet this doesn't come without practice." Guys with good looks like him are guaranteed to be playboys.

"I haven't met someone like you." He said.

"Someone who doesn't fall at your feet." I mocked him.

"Someone who could make me go to the extent of desiring a win and the crown." He looked in my eyes not sure what emotions floored in his.

It was like he was letting me see the true emotions through them.

My cheeks and neck heated up under his gaze and I looked away. Suddenly he took my hand and placed it on his heart which was beating as erratically as mine.

"It should not be like that. I should be calm and collected." He said looking at me intently.

I was speechless so I just blinked and gulped.
