The Modern Princess

CHAPTER 4

CHAPTER FOUR

After a week of staying in Lexumbia I head back to Manila. It was around six thirty in the morning when I arrived. I missed the heat, though I always complain it's hot, the ambiance, the culture, food and I can say I am way too different here than I am in Lexumbia. This is where I have to be, this is me, and this is where I belong.

"Ma'am Kathy please follow me" she smiled. She's taller than me, with almond eyes, perfect white teeth and wearing a stewardess' uniform.

"Why?" But before she can give me an answer my phone vibrated, it's my brother, Karl.

"Hey, Karl where are you?"

"Hey Kathy, you cannot take the usual exit, there are lots of media people out there, I talked to the management of Philippine Air Lines and you have follow their employee so that you can escape"

I hung up with him. I never thought of this. Well, I had a little idea but I never thought that it would become this big. Everybody's after my every move, but I'm a little bit comfortable here than in there. I know I can somehow handle this people. I have some friends from different television networks due to my company's connections so I can somehow restrain them.

I followed the PAL employee and she left me in a vacant office, it was tinted but you can see what they're doing outside. I was sitting on one side and she was working with all the papers that I have to do and just after a few minutes she went back to me.

"All set ma'am you may now leave the airport"

"Thank you"

"Ma'am one last thing, can the crew and I have a photo with you?" So I am an instant celebrity when I head back to my domicile.

"Sure" I smiled at her, I don't know if this is enough to cover what she has done for me. It is not easy to escape really.

After the snapshots I have seen my brother waiting for me. He was beside his new silver Camry, which was my parent's gift for him. He's giving someone a call, a new girlfriend perhaps.

"Hey womanizer, let's head back home" I said and I rolled my baggage until I reach the back of his car.

"Okay, I'll call you later, love you"

"Love you?! Isn't she allergic to lies?" I said and I push up the compartment door.

"Your royal highness please give me your luggage. You shall not be holding them; surely you are damn too tired." He said, with European accent.

"Royal highness your face" I hand him my other luggage. He definitely knows how to tease me.

He put my luggage inside the car and I walk towards the passenger seat. It was seven o'clock in the morning, checking out from the airport lasted for only about thirty minutes. How cool was that?

"Let's head to my office" I said, he had just sat on the driver's side.

"But, you just have arrived. You don't want to go home?"

"No, I want to go to my office. I missed a lot" I commanded.

"Yes, your majesty" he smirked and I give him a cat eye, startling him.

"You've catch everybody's attention there didn't you? You've been the cover of different newspapers for a while, from stumbling on your first date until you leave Lexumbia, everybody's eyeing on you" he laughed.

"You find that cool?"

"Yes, your majesty"

"Leave your car there and get my car in my unit"
