Chapter 7: Memory

Nicholas' Pov

"This will be your room Nicholas. Mine is just a few rooms away," Brice told me as he smiles.

I have nothing to say at all.

The room was really fancy and elegant. I am left speechless. It wasn't really what I hoped for but it was much more than I expected.

"Thank you my lord," I said as I bowed. He quickly waves his hands back and forth and smiles sheepishly.

"Please! Just call me Brice. No need for a pleasant greet," he said as he quickly smiled and walks outside.

"Yes my lor-I mean, Brice," I said as I nodded.

He nods and shuts the door. I sat on my bed and let some air out. If Brice knows who Anne is, where is she staying?

I quickly sighed. She probably went back to her own home. She's just visiting the prince. Nothing more.

Suddenly, I heard humming on the hallways. Strange. No one ever hums on the hallway except a maid or a butler.

Well, that's what I usually do.

"Nicholas?" I heard a familiar girl asking. I quickly stood up and opened the door.

She quickly gasps and laughed.

"You gave me a quite scare there! Wha-hmm?" I interrupted her with a hug and smiles at her sheepishly.

"I thought you left," I said as I rub the back of my neck awkwardly. She blinked a few more times and giggled.

I'm really embarrassing myself right here.

"I'm not really just a bystander. I'm Brice's childhood friend. Well, that's what their parents said atleast," Anne told me as she sat on my bed.

I sat down as well and smiled. I quickly looked at the window and saw a cat leaning on it.

I opened the window, trying to gently grab the cat. It moved a little bit and went on my hands. I swiftly grabbed the cat and it purred.

"Aww, it likes you Nicholas~"

"I'm quite fond of cats,"

"I really can't tell," she said as she sneezes.

I let the cat go and opened the door. It went to roam down the halls and disappeared.

I turned around and looked at Anne.

"Are you allergic to cats, my lady?"

"No! Of course no-Achoo!" She said as she sneezes once again and smiles ridiculously at me. I quickly smirked as I continue to tease her.

"Aww~ Is my cute kitty allergic?"

"That's preposterous! I am not allergic to-Achoo!"

"Allergic to Achoo? Well, that's something,"
