All of my 5sos work

Preference #50: Be my Prince Charming, just for one night.

It was another hot day at work, and usually for people at work they can go get something to drink or eat to cool them down, or put the AC on. But not for me, instead I have to stand in the baking sun wearing a very thick heavy dress watching various people walk by with an ice cream or cold drink whilst their kids come and hug me. If you didn't guess, I work at Disneyland. 

It's not that I hate my job, I really don't. I mean, it has it's perks and downfalls like any job but I truly love seeing how happy the children are to meet you and how they go on about how happy you make them and inspire them. Yet the downside is the hot days, the extremely long hours and how my partner in this is a beast, literally.

My role at Disneyland is playing Belle, and obviously that means I work with Prince Adam, aka the beast. It doesn't help that my partner in this Nathan fits the role perfectly and doesn't even have to get into character since he is rude and obnoxious as it is but seems sweet to the children, not wanting the ruin the 'illusion'.

At 2pm on the dot the highlight of my day appears, a few characters pass through and greet the children before going to the secret passage and heading to the underground system to get to wherever the need to be. Aladdin comes through with Jasmine, or as I know them Calum and Kyla.

Ever since I've worked here for a year or so now Calum has always been on my eyes. We talk sometimes when the day is over or when we're downstairs preparing for the parade, my friend Hercules, or Ash always said I should just go for it but it's not so easy. We can't date, it's not allowed as its a 'conflict of interests' to do with the characters we play, so I can simply admire from afar instead.

"Belle, my love we must go and see Mrs Potts!" Nathan would say through his costume, this was always the signal we used when we had to go and prepare for the parade. We wished the children a wonderful day and walked off to a member of staff who directed us to the tunnels.

Once we were inside and down the stairs I would finally get as much distance between myself and Nathan, not wanting to spend my one chance in the day when I can be free of him for a while clung to him. Walking off I happily slip off my heels keeping hold of them in one hand and with the other I hold my dress up as I run towards the dressing rooms. As I close the door my fellow cast mates greet me whilst they busy themselves preparing for their shows.

"Hey Y/n, beast living up to his reputation as per usual?" Ginny, well Sleeping beauty would ask as she slipped her wig back on into place. I'd nod and collapse into a chair, that's one of the flaws of working at Disney, the long hours stood up in heels.

We would make conversation for a while as we touched up on makeup and sometimes gossiped about the guys and rumours we had heard. "So, I heard that Cal has a thing for you." I stopped brushing my wig and glanced up from the mirror to Penelope (Ariel) who was sat smirking at me, I tried to busy myself and ignore her comment but it was obvious it was effecting me.

As I tried to continue brushing my wig I dropped my brush and fumbled for it, the others exchanged knowing glances. "Come on, how'd you know for sure?" I scoffed to them and crossed my arms trying to seem like I knew what I was doing.

"Well," I heard the door begin to open and in walked Kyla. "You're all Cal talks about when we get downstairs, y/n please save me from the never ending whining and let him know how you feel." I shuffled on my feet as my heart was racing with joy, Cal had been admiring me too? All this time he had noticed me when I thought I was invisible to him?

Kyla and the others were blankly staring at me as I placed my hair brush down onto the table. "After the parade." I told them smiling, "I'll tell him." They started cheering and high fived me, what a weird scene having four princesses in costume swearing and cheering, thank goodness the kids don't know.

Once we were finished the staff helped us get into our positions. I glanced back to the others as were placed onto different floats. Me and Nathan assumed our usual positions and did our stretches so our mouths wouldn't tire from all of the smiling we would be doing for the next half hour.

The parade was successful as always, children cheered for their favourite characters and I saw some adorable children in dresses just like my own. As Jake helped me off of the float he told me the usual routine for the next few hours, where I'll be needed next and which car to get on.

Patiently I waited a while to see Cal go past, but before I was given a reasonable chance to wait Nathan took me by the arm and sat me next to him on the back of a golf cart and drove off. I sat in silence not wanting to bother making conversation with him, he would keep his smirk on as he eyed me up and down whilst I'd turn away, not wanting to look at him. The day presumed it's normalities and routine, we did the final parade in the evening and I went to my own dressing room to change out of my costume, remove the wig and makeup and be more comfortable as I walked out a different person.

As I closed my door I heard some running and panting, I turned my head to see someone dressed in baggy white three quarter length trousers, and a waist coat. He stopped in front of me holding his finger up to signal he needed to catch his breath. "You alright Cal?" I ask as he brings his head up, letting out one long breath and nodded.

"Do you like me?" He blurted out making me blush profusely, I tried to respond but I struggled for words. "I know we can't and we shouldn't due to the whole contract issue but I really like you Y/n, in character and out of it. How genuinely happy you make the children and adults, that you can be so relaxed and calm all the time and still manage to make a few jokes now and then. I like how you never break, you always maintain the illusion and how you send me subtle smiles." He chuckled and I smiled, "Yep they didn't go unnoticed." He brought his hands forward to hold mine but I hesitated. "Y/n, please just give me a chance." He whispered in the large empty corridor.

But my voice continued to fail me, he released the little hold he had on my hands, I felt his fingertips lose mine as he turned away, ashamed and walked off. What am j doing? The one guy I have found myself liking for once who I get on well with admits that he feels the same, what am I waiting for?

"Cal?" I yell down the corridor as I drop my stuff and follow him, he doesn't reply to the multiple callings of his name. "For gods sake Cal! I like you, I like you a lot okay?" I yell and bring my hands up in frustration, he stops and turns slowly on the spot to face me.

"So it's true, Ash was right." He smiled and began to walk towards me, and I did the same.

"Kyla was right." I told him as we were getting closer and closer to each other.

"Wanna go on a magic carpet ride." He raised his eyebrow, the space between us being minimalistic now.

"If that's a euphemism you can forget it Cal." I joked and glanced down to my feet before looking back at him, smiling brightly. "Just," I wrapped my arms around his neck and he placed his on my waist. "Be my Prince Charming, just for one night." I whispered into his lips as his connected to mine.

Looks like I found my real Prince after all.
