You're so... SOFT?!!!

My Apologies

"Good morning, Prince Kai." I enter his room with a tray of delicate pastries and berries and the first thing I do is bow.
No sound. I look around and I don't see Prince Kai anywhere. Where could he be? I walk to the window and look around for Prince Kai. Oh, there! Prince Kai is laying out on the grass next to Shadow. He seems to be... talking to him? I immediately turn around.

☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆

I see him a only couple feet away and keep on running towards him. Until a stupid plant stops me. Everything goes crashing down, which includes me. My arms break my fall and the tray of food makes no sound at all as it falls. Oh right. I fell on grass. I stand up again and notice that Prince Kai hasn't seen me yet. Thank GOD. I would've been so embarrassed... I leave the pastries and berries and the tray where they are and just keep on walking, walking, towards Prince Kai.

"Good morning, Your Highness." I bow once I'm in front of him.

"Good morning." He doesn't look at me. In fact, it looks like he's trying to avoid looking at me?

"I'm sorry for not bringing your food with me. It's just... I uh... fell? Along the way, so..."

"It's fine. I already ate."

"Oh! Uh... I guess there was no need for me to come here, then. I'm so sorry for bothering you, Prince Kai." I can hear a sigh inside my head. I turn around to start heading back, but then Prince Kai starts talking again.

"Do you..." He words trail off.

"I'm sorry. Do I what?" I turn back around.

"Do you... have a..."

"Do I have a?"

"B- bo- boyfriend?"

I smile and cock my head, confused.

"Do I have a..." It hits me. "Do I have a boyfriend?!!!" He gives me subtle nod and I stare at him, dumbfounded. "Uhhh... well, Your Highness, I do not have a boyfriend."

He finally looks at me.

"You... don't?" He asks curiously.

"N- no. Of course not. Why do you ask?"

"Sorry." He stands up and starts walking towards me. Closer and closer. And closer. Until he's less than a step away from me. "I- I- I... like y-"

"HEY! WHY ARE YOU STANDING SO CLOSE TO HER?!!!" A voice breaks Prince Kai's sentence. I swivel my head towards it and see fluffy blonde hair.

"Connor?!" I gasp. He was talking so rudely to him!!! Immediately Connor is at my side and pulling me away from Prince Kai.

"Connor! This is Prince Kai you're talking to!"

"I don't give a damn about who I-" His mouth freezes. "Wait, who am I talking to?" I sigh as Connor looks over Prince Kai. His face turns to a scared expression as he recognizes him.

"Oh my... I'm so sorry!!!" Connor gets on his knees and I snort. He glares at me. Well, serves him right for yelling at Prince Kai. No one should ever yell at Prince Kai.

"It's okay..." Prince Kai whispers and Connor bounces up and onto his feet.

"If you don't mind me asking, can you please tell me why you were so close to her?" Connor's head stands below Prince Kai's nose.

"I... wanted to tell..." Prince Kai's words trail off.

"Connor, don't question Prince Kai's doings. I'm sure he didn't mean any harm whatsoever." I look at him. Connor looks back at me and frowns.

"You shouldn't trust a person so easily." Connor scolds me. "You can only trust me so easily."

"Let's argue about this later. We need to stop bothering Prince Kai." I shoot a glare at him, which makes him shut up. "I'm so sorry for disturbing you, Your Highness. Please excuse us." I take a deep bow and snatch Connor's arm. I stomp of with Connor next to me. He looks at where my hand is making contact with him. I immediately let go.

"Connor. What the hell were you thinking? Why does it matter to your damn mind that someone's face is so close to mine?!" My mouth fires words at him after I check that Prince Kai is out of earshot.

"Hey! I didn't know that he was Prince Kai!"

"Either way, whether it was Prince Kai or not, why does it matter to you that his face was so close to mine?"

"Uhh.. b- because you're my best friend! And I need to be protective of my best friend."

"Well I don't need any of your crap like protecting. Okay?" The words come furiously out of my mouth.

"You don't... you don't like him, do you?" He stares at me angrily.

"No! Why would I like him?! A maid and a prince?!!! I have to say, that's one of the most idiotic ideas I've ever heard."

"Oh, really? Cuz I was thinking the same thing!" His mask of angry expressions breaks in half and a wide smile surfaces.

"Why the hell are you smiling?!!! Do you want me to stick you inside your grave?" I scowl and he only smiles wider.

"You're so cute~~~" He laughs and then leans forward and... presses a soft kiss against my cheek.
