The Badboy Prince Just Can't Resist

Chapter 12- And There Was a Drunk Annalise

Annalise Woods

Seeing Damien in the office startled me. Worried me, even. It made no sense... how could he have been in a fight if he came out untouched?

It just didn't add up.

On a better note, it was definitely needed for me to switch into the more advanced class. Learning more in depth about Deltora's history was quite interesting and very entertaining.

Did you know most of Deltora used to be filled with wild unicorns?

Yeah, me neither. Wouldn't that be a sight.

The days that continued were long and uneventful. Damien and I's last periods together were the only times I would get to talk with him.

They would play out like this: "Woods, you are looking quite different today." He smiled down at my new cotton navy dress, a little shorter up my thigh then usual.

I rolled my eyes at him,"How mature are you?" I glanced down at the length and wanted to giggle. I couldn't believe he noticed such a small difference.

"I'm definitely mature alright... want to ask how?" He smirked.

"I would even ask your age, but I wouldn't want to embarrass you because I know you can't count that high." I frowned playfully.

Lie. He's almost finished with fragit years.

He laughed," You sure do surprise me, Annalise Woods."

The past three days' conversations were mostly a blur. Our conversations were mostly banter, smiles and laughs. It was as if the words spilled out of my mouth like silk, talking to him.

He was so easy to talk to; charming and never dull. When I was around him, I never even realized when the corners of my lips would lift.

Which was all the time.

He made me laugh until my smile was up to my ears. The Prince was growing on me. I guess I'd finally let him in... a little bit.

It was quite ironic though. The one man who I'm letting in is the one who could ruin my life forever. If he found out I used to live in Descuvi...

I didn't even want to imagine.

"Wear this, it shows off your curves beautifully. Dam-"

"No! Your starting to act like my mother, Veronica." I peel off the dress, it being too constricting, hugging my body like a serpent.

"It did look good on you Annalise," Hazlaen even admits.

I roll my eyes," Yes, but I look like a strumpet." I didn't want to look like a woman to bring home tonight.

"Isn't that the point!" Veronica points out,"That's what I'm doing. I don't even know how you guys are going to get back from Secora because I am having a fun night."

"Ugh, Veronica." Hazalen covers her eyes,"You can do whatever you want but I'm hitting the bar." Hazalen exclaims.

"You drink?" I question.
