It had been about 2 weeks since Justin had confessed and 2 weeks since Ivy was exposed for who she really was.

We hadn't had contact with Ivy or Diane in the 2 weeks. It was honestly one of the most pleasant times for me.

Besides the fact that the two people who despised me were no longer in my life, Justin had also been hanging around in town a lot more lately.

Of course now he made no attempt to hide who he really was. He dressed in his royal attire and instead of walking to town by himself, he rode into town on his graceful brown and black horse. And on top of it all, he had a man dressed in similar clothes who rode behind him on his own horse.

Justin had introduced him as Scooter. He was Justin's personal body guard but since Justin insisted he didn't need a body guard, he referred to him as an assistant.

Of course Scooter attempted to follow Justin and I everywhere we went. It was quite awkward considering Justin was trying to court me. It honestly felt like Justin and Scooter were both trying to court me together. So most of the time Justin would order Scooter off, much to Scooter's disliking.

"Good morning." I stretched my arms above my head as I walked into the kitchen.

Since Ivy and Diane were forced out, I had inherited my older room, Diane's previous room. Justin and Risley had been kind enough to help me move my clothes and small amounts of belongings into the house.

"Good morning, Zayn."

I flashed a smile at my dad and grabbed the jug that we used to gather water. "Did you start breakfast?"

"Yes, it will be done soon. Can I expect Justin to join us?"

Just as I was about to answer, the door to the back of the house opened and Justin's head popped in.

"Hello Malik family."

I felt a smile fall across my lips as I greeted Justin with a kiss on the cheek. "Hello, love. Have a seat, I am going to get some water."

"No, I will join you."

He gave a smile and a wave at Risley before his hand encased mine and he pulled it up to press his lips to the back of my hand.

"Good morning, beautiful," he said softly.

"Good morning. How was the ride over?"

"Long and boring. The only thing that kept me entertained was that I knew I would be seeing you."
