A Royal Love Story

Chapter 2 - He's Really Down To Earth, You Know

Prince Harry came over from where his brother was sitting, to sit next to me. I looked at him and smiled. I thought to myself that I would let him make the first move, just to be polite.

“Hello, my name is Harry, would you like a drink?” His very sexy voice caught me a bit off-guard.

“Hi, my name is Sophia, and yes I would love another vodka and coke please.”

“Anything for such a pretty looking girl.” That made me blush, while Harry was ordering the drinks, I was trying to compose myself before he got back.

“I haven’t seen you around, have you just moved here?” I got lost in his sapphire blue orbs.

“Um, yeh, I have just moved here from Brighton.”

“Ah, yes, I love Brighton, its lovely here, why did you move to London, then, if you don’t mind me asking.”

“Well, I have always loved London, ever since I was little, and there are better jobs up here as well.”

“Oh right, what job do you do then?” This conversation, although it seemed a bit weird, was the best conversation I have ever had.

“I have just graduated as a P.E. teacher from University. Are you still working in the Army?”

“Yes I am.” The music started to blur out from the speakers, “Would you like to go somewhere a little quieter?”

“Yes, I would love to.” With that, Harry glanced at this brother, took my hand and led me out of the club. “Where are we going then?”

“Back to my house. I want to get to know you a bit better, over coffee?”

Harry escorted me to one of his cars that were waiting outside of the club, and it was only a short drive to Clarence House, or, his ‘home’, as he put it. Thoughts kept spinning around in my head. I tried to ignore them. Before I knew it, we were at Clarence House. This was really surreal, but all I knew for now is the Prince Harry was attracted to me in some way. I just had to go along with it for now.

“So, would you like a cup of coffee, then?” He gave me a small smile.

“Yes please.” I knew that today wasn’t the day that I would jump into bed with Prince Harry, but the day that I would get to know him, just as a normal person, not Prince Harry, but just Harry.

“Why did you come over and talk to me? There were so many other better looking girls at the club than me.”

“I guess I came over to talk to you because I haven’t seen you before and from the first moment I saw you in the club I thought you were really really beautiful.”

“Thanks. I suppose you’re not bad looking either.” We shared a smile for a few short seconds, and then my inquisitive side kicked in. “Don’t you have a girlfriend?” He looked slightly embarrassed by the question I had just asked him. There was a short pause before he answered.

“I did. When I went away for a couple of months for Army training, she dumped me. I only came back a few weeks ago, so I didn’t know that she had been on a few dates with this guy, and I locked myself in my bedroom for a couple of days, but then my brother made me go out for drinks tonight, and I saw you.”

“I’m so sorry; I shouldn’t have asked you that, but thank you for being honest with me.” He stroked my hair, I moved a little closer to him. I gave him a quick hug, and said, “Well, I better be going. I have classes first thing in the morning. It was really nice meeting you Harry.”

“Well, Sophia, wait, can I have your number. I’d like to see you again.” I wrote my number on a piece of paper, flattered that he would want my number. He gave me his as well, which I thought was quite sweet. “Thank you for tonight, Sophia, I really did enjoy myself.” He smiled at me sweetly, and gave me a quick hug and kissed both my cheeks. I blushed a little and turned around to leave.

“Thank you for a good night Harry, I will text you in the morning.”

“Not if I text you first!” He called to me quietly, and with that I left.

That was the day that I met Prince Harry. He is the most down to earth guy you would ever meet. I knew from that day, that it wasn’t going to be the only time we would meet.
