"I'm so exhausted from swimming the whole day." I told Charlie as we lay, cuddling together on the yacht. It was dark out now, revealing the sparkling stars in the night sky. We lay on a blanket on the yacht out at sea, on our backs.
"Me as well, it's tiring." He scoffed, he sounded tired in his voice but my body just felt tired, not my mind.
I reached for his hand, placing it on my hip. We were still in our swimming suits from the eventful day we had. Guards stood watch around the large yacht and the boat crew were the only people aboard other than the guards.
"I'm glad you got this huge boat. It has a bedroom downstairs right?" Charlie asked me, propping his head up with his arm. I turned over to face him and nodded my head. "Yes indeed, are you ready to sleep?" I asked.
"Yeah, i'm ready to go rest." He laughed. "Okay, the guards brought extra clothing and toiletries for us. If you're hungry as well we have food downstairs." I stood up, reaching to grab his large manly hand. He looked up at me, grabbing my hand and getting up. I pulled him hard since he was heavily strong.
We held hands and walked to the side of the boat, opening the door and climbing down the stairs, closing the door behind us and locking it. Just in case.
"There's two rooms." I brought up as we stood in the hallway. "You don't want to spend the night in the room with me?" Charlie asked. I looked at him nervously and shrugged my shoulders. I don't really know actually. "Okay." I agreed and he smiled faintly, reaching my hand again.
We walked into the gorgeous bedroom with a large bed, a bookshelf and a view of the water out the tiny window. There was a small bathroom in the next room to the right and a bedroom across the hall to Charlie's. "Do you want to stay the night with me or are you just saying that because i'm okay with you staying?" He interviewed me, turning around in the bedroom and letting go of my hand.
"I..I want to stay with you but I don't quite know how to stay with another person. I've never had a boyfriend or a friend once in my life so I don't know how to do this..."
He came forward, taking both my hands and kissed them. "We're just sleeping in a bed together princess. Not anything else. I promise you you're okay." He told me. He seemed to be trying to comfort and assure me the whole day today. "Alright." I nodded. He smiled and leant down to kiss my lips gently.
We climbed into bed together, not bothering to even change into pajamas because of our exhaustion. We turned off both the bedside lights and I curled up next to Charlie. Placing my head on his chest. He exhaled, making my head bob up. I kissed his neck softly before drifting off to sleep in the prince's arms.
-
"Wake up." I heard the prince's whispers in my ear as I awoke slowly, fluttering open my eyes and looking around the room. I felt his hand drift along my waist and up the side of my body.
"Oh dear, did we sleep in? Did I sleep in?" I panicked, sitting up and reaching for the alarm clock on the bedside table. It read 11:36am and my eyes opened wide. "Yes you slept in, you always seem so tired and when I woke and saw you sleeping so...peacefully I couldn't wake you up but I had to now." Charlie answered.
I chuckled, leaning away from Charlie since I had morning breathe, i've always hated my breathe in the mornings. "How do you wake up so beautifully?" He said in a charming voice once I got up off the bed.
"I certainly do not." I scoffed, walking to go find the toiletries inside the bag my guards brought from the mansion. "Oh yes you do princess." He got up as well, coming next to me. I searched the bag, finally finding my toothpaste and brush. My hair was all tangled so I got out my hairbrush as well. I was still in my bikini and the prince was in his swim shorts.
"You know, I really had a blast yesterday." He changed the subject. I smiled at him, holding my stuff and walking to the bathroom. The prince now searched the bag for his things while I closed he door behind me, beginning to freshen up. Once I finished in the bathroom, I walked to the cupboard where the maids had sorted out my outfits for the day. The prince now went into the bathroom so I had a chance to change.
I looked around, then grabbed my dress and started taking off my clothing. I found my under garments in another bag that had my name on and I placed those on. I was about ready to place on my dress when the bathroom door flew open, prince Charlie walking out. I gasped and hid myself with the dress and Charlie quickly turned around, going back into the bathroom. I smiled, trying not to laugh at the awkward moment we just had.
Finally, I finished placing on my dress and called for the prince to come out with a chuckle.
"Goodness Amanda...i'm so sorry!" He apologized immediately as he came out. I laughed, walking over to him and giving him a huge hug. "It's okay." I assured him now.
He chuckled back at me and kissed my forehead, I then placed my head on his shoulder, he was still shirtless as well.
"May I ask a question?" He interrupted our moment. I got back up straight and looked at him, nodding. He began talking now. "Do you like prince Damien?"
I looked at him with a blank face and thought how I should answer without hurting his feelings. I should just answer simple...
"Yes, but I like you too."
"And who will you pick at the end then if you still like both of us, even love both of us?" He gave me a firm look, he seemed upset.
"I don't know Charlie. All I know is that it's only been about three weeks and I know that I like you both the same. I need time..." I looked down at our feet then back up at him. I began walking away to put my toiletries back in my bag. I looked at Charlie, his face was saddened now. I hated seeing him like that, all depressed and upset. It made me feel sad back.
