A Royal Love: Royal Problems

Chapter fifteen

-Shayna's POV-

As we enter Mike's house, I immediately go to my bedroom. I hear Mike laugh a little, which makes me smile but I continue walking. After getting changed in one of the pyjamas John brought me, Mike knocks on the door. "Are you fully dressed? Can I come in?" "Yeah, come on in." I answer as I sit down on the chair of the makeup vanity and brush my hair. "Of course you're there." He says as he smiles. "What? You should be happy that someone uses it. Why do you even have it?" "Believe it or not, my mother gave it to me when I moved here." He answers as he walks towards me. "Your mother gave it?" I ask as I look at him. "Yeah, she did." He answers.

I look back at the mirror and put the brush down while I look at my hair. "Don't worry, you're beautiful." Mike says to me which makes me smile. "Thanks." I say as I stand up and look at him. "And that's not the only thing I need to thank you for. You're so sweet to me. You helped me a lot. What did I do to have the luck of meeting you?" I say as I smile at him. "Well you're welcome. But you said it wrong. I am the one who is lucky. I met an amazing alien." He says with a playful smile. "Don't call me that!" I say as hit him playfully.

"But let's be serious for a moment, what are your siblings going to do when they find you?" He asks me as his smile disappears. "I told you, they will hate me and banish me." I say as I sit down on my bed. "Are all your siblings mean to you? Or only the heir?" He asks me. "Only Lyla. Shane loves me as much as I love him and Kiana is well... behaving normal." "Normal?" "You know... she's like an acquaintance." "Why is Lyla so mean to you?" "If I would know then I would try my best to change so she wouldn't find me useless anymore." "You don't have to change, she does." He says as he sits down next to me.

"No, I have to. I'm the one who's useless, not she." I say as I look down. "Shayna." He says as he lifts my chin with his right hand so I'm looking at him. "You're not useless. You're an amazing woman. You're sweet and funny. You're beautiful and you have a big heart." He says as he looks in my eyes. "You're perfect. And if your sister doesn't see that, then that's her loss. Because you're perfect at least to me you are." He says as he keeps looking into my eyes and I in his.

We keep looking in each other's eyes for a moment until I lean in and kiss him. He's surprised but before he can react, I stop kissing him and look down. "I-I'm sorry." He doesn't say anything, he just lifts my chin again. He surprises me by pulling my head closer to his and kissing me. As I kiss him back, he pulls me closer.

When we end the kiss, we look in each other's eyes again. "It's late, I'll let you sleep." He says as he still looks me in the eyes. "Okay, goodnight." I say as he stands up and walks towards the door. "Goodnight." He says as he leaves.

As soon as he closes the door, I lie down in my bed. I switch off the light and smile when I think of the kiss. I hope it meant as much to him as it did to me. I really loved it. I hope we'll kiss again soon.

-Kiana's POV-

When the fans begin to leave, I walk towards Nathan on the stage. "So what did you think?" He says as he sees me. "I liked it, I like hearing you sing." I answer him. "And I liked hearing you two sing, you should do that more." Eddy says as he walks towards us. "I liked that too." Nathan says as he smiles at me. "Me too." I say, smiling as well. "Then you should preform together. I'm sure everyone will love it!" Eddy says with a big smile. "I would love that." Nathan says as he still smiles at me. "I wouldn't." I say which makes Eddy look surprised at me while Nathan looks sad. "Don't get me wrong, I like singing with you but I don't want to do that in front of so many people." I say to them. "I can understand that. Not everyone likes preforming for an audience." Nathan says to me with a little smile. "Yes, you should only do what you feel good about." Eddy says, agreeing with Nathan.

"I'm guessing that you're staying here tonight too?" Eddy asks me. "If you would let me." I answer him. "Of course you can stay." Eddy says with a smile. "I'm going to go to bed, I'll see you tomorrow." He says as he walks away. "Looks like you're stuck with me for another night." I say to Nathan as I look at him. "I don't mind, you're a good companion. As you don't wake me too early." He says with a smile. "Besides, I wouldn't allow you to leave even if Eddy wouldn't want you to stay." He says as he begins to walk away. "And what about your fans? They are all outside this late?" I say to him as I follow him. "Yes but they aren't alone." He answers me. "And they're not you." He says as he smiles at me. "That's sweet." I say smiling back at him.

When we're upstairs, he walks another direction then where the bedroom is, so I follow him. To the living room? No, he keeps walking. The kitchen. "I'm just taking a drink." He says as he sees me looking confused at him. He takes a saucepan and pours some milk in it. "Do you want some too?" He asks me as he looks at me. "Yes please." I say to him. After the milk is ready he pours it in two cups and takes them to me. "Here you go." He says as he hands one to me. "Be careful, it's hot." He says before I take it which makes me smile. "Thanks." "You're welcome. Do you want some honey in it?" He asks as he put his cup down and searches for honey. "If you find it, then I want some." "I already found it." He says as he pours a bit of honey in his cup. "Come here." He says as he looks back at me. I walk towards him and hand him my cup. He takes it and pours a bit honey in it. He takes two spoons out of a drawer and put one in my cup and one in his. He hands me my cup back and takes his own before walking out of the kitchen. I follow him to the living room and sit in the sofa next to him.

"Did you find your sister?" He asks me as he looks at me. "No, we've looked everywhere but we couldn't find her." "Did she run away from home?" "No, she would never leave without my brother." "Then he must be very worried." "He is, he searched the whole night for her before he called me. I'm pretty sure that he'll search the whole night again." "Shouldn't you be with him then?" "I should be, but he would just ignore me. He ignored me most of the day today. He's searching her every minute, he never takes a break." "That doesn't sound good, he needs to rest otherwise he would just get exhausted, then he can't search for your sister at all." "I know that, that's what I've been trying to get him to understand but he doesn't listen." "Maybe you should just call the police, let them search your sister." "I'd rather not do that." I say before I take a sip of my cup. "But-" He starts but I interrupt him. "Can we talk about something else?" "But, Kiana..." "Nathan, please." I say to him while I look away.

"Okay, we'll talk about something else. I'm sorry." He says which makes me look at him. "What?" "I said that we'll talk about something else." "No, after that." "I'm sorry?" He says to me, even though it sounds more like a question. He's apologising? For something as simple as this? "Kiana? Are you all right? What's wrong?" He asks me sounding worried. "I-I" I try to say something but I can't get it out. I'm too surprised. "Kiana?" He says as he moves his hand closer to my shoulder. Before he can touch my shoulder, I stand up. "What's wrong? Did I do something?" He asks me as he stands up too. "I-I just like my personal space. So don't touch me." "But you're suddenly distancing yourself from me. Did something happen?" He asks as he walks closer to me. "Nothing happened." I say to him and put my cup on the coffee table. "I'm going to bed, goodnight." I say to him and leave the room before he can react.
