My Eyes Are Open

Outing

My fairy tale prince.... I thought.

As I stood up from him cradling me in his arms, he stood up and gave me a quick peck on the cheek.

"Shall we get going?" He asked, tears still lingering.

"Ok," I said. I wanted to get my mind off of everything. We were going out today, so maybe that would help.

We got into the vehicle, some kind of space car, and left.

"First, we should go get lunch. Let's go to a restaurant!" Mini said, obviously excited.

"Ok. Where should we go for lunch?" I asked.

"I know of this human-themed café a few minutes away from here! We can go there!" He was excited. 

"Sure," I was tired from all of the planning earlier. I just wanted to go home and lay on my bed and sleep. I want to go back to Earth.

"Mo, you're zoning. You tired? We can go back home if you want to. I won't force you to stay out." He said.

I didn't want to spoil his fun. No. That wouldn't happen. I wouldn't let it happen.

"No, I'm fine."

I lied. I felt guilty for lying, but I had to. He was going to have a good time.

"Hey, Mo?"

"Yeah?"

"Let's just go to my place and eat there. After we eat, you can take a nap."

"But-"

"No 'buts'."

He pulled my head to where it was resting on his shoulder. He can be so annoying at times, but he really is sweet.

We arrived at his mansion. It was big. Four stories at least. He took my hand and helped me out of the car.

We walked in, and there were servants all lined up near the door.

"Don't mind them. I prefer to do my own chores and what not, but my parents think that I need people to do them for me." Mini said.

"Ok." I replied.

"It's time for lunch, young master. You parents have already eaten." The butler looked over at me. "Would you like me to set the table for two, young master?" He asked.

"Yes, please. I'll be in there in a few moments." Mini still had my hand in his, and he took me up to a room.

"This is my room. After lunch, come in here and sleep. I will not take 'no' as an answer." He said. I nodded.

We headed to the dining room. I sat down at one end of the table, and he sat at the other.

"Is human food acceptable, highness?" Another butler came in and asked.

"Yes, thank you." I said.

"I always eat human food. I've always had an interest in humans. Plus, you're used to human food, right?"

"Yes," I answered Mini.

"What would you like to drink? I'll get it for you. Although, we only have human drinks, so you'll have to make to with that." Mini said.

"Water is fine, thank you."

The food arrived. It was my comfort food. Macaroni and Cheese with a side of grapes. When we finished eating, Mini motioned for me to go to his room.

I went up to his room and slept.
