Once Upon A Royal Love

Chapter 26

Alexandra's POV

I woke up to the smell of eggs and sausage, I yawned, in bed with sheets wrapped around me.

I suddenly had a headache.
I turned to notice the time, 10:53am.
I sighed, my eyes widen quickly.

Shit.
I stumbled out of bed, causing myself to fall to the ground. Seconds later, Liam rushed into the room.

"Are you okay?", he asked with a worried look on his face.
"Yeah. Yeah. I just- I realized I'm late for class", I said getting up.

"I was making breakfast", he said as if he actually thought I have time to eat.

"I would to stay but- I honestly don't have the time", I said walking out the room going to the living room, where I had remembered where I left my clothes.

"Want me to drop you off?", he asked.
"No- but thank you", I said trying to jump into my tight jeans.

"Ugh", I said getting frustrated. I couldn't find my other shoe.
I didn't even brush my teeth.

"Alex", Liam called me but I was so distracted that I didn't even answer.

"Alex", he called once again.
"What!?!", I asked him with anger in my voice.

"You're not okay, are you?", he asked.
I found myself slowly breaking down again, "I should've never got you involved with my complicated life", I said.

"Complicated? The only thing complicated is William", he said.
True.

"I got to go", I said.
"you can't just walk. Let me take you home. I'm sure missing one day of school won't kill you", he said.

I breathed.
"Sit. And eat", he told me.
I listened going to the kitchen bar, as I sat down, and watched him began cooking.

"Here", he said giving me a glass of water, and two pills.

"Your drugging me?", I asked sarcastically.
"If I wanted to drug you, I would have the night I met you at the bar", he said.

I chuckled.
"Thank you", I said.
"For what exactly?", he asked dishing out the food on the plates.

"Just- being there when no one else would be", I said.

"Don't get all sentimental on me now, Ms.Leighton", he said.

"I think we're past last name bases", I smirked taking a sip of my water.

"Since being the fact that I was inside of you last night", he smirked back.

I rolled my eyes.
"Shut up", I said as he placed the food in front of me.

-

"Thanks again", I said as Liam was about to turn into OakHam academy.

"No problem. If you need anything you know where to go", he said.

"About us?", I asked with a low tone.

"Last night was different, you were different. For the first time I didn't just want to have casual sex. Last night was the first time, I actually made love to a female", he said opening up.

I watched as Liam pulled the car into the driveway of the dorm. I was about to say something when the words "oh, shit", escaped from his mouth.

Shit is right.
There stood Ms.Trudy speaking to the police, William speaking to the girls.

"You can just drop me off here", I said.
"No. They should know you were with me, and didn't run away", he said.

He probably just wanted to see the look on William face when he saw me with him.

How William would look when he saw me wearing Liam's shirt and boxers and that's it.

Suddenly they all turned to the car that was slowly parking. I took off my seat belt, getting out the car.

"W-what's going?", I asked the girls.
"We didn't know where you were? You missed school. We thought something bad happened to you", Sophie said.

"No. I'm fine. I was- I was with Liam", I said with hesitation in my voice as I looked at William, who looked at me in disappointment.

I quickly looked away.

"Why were you with him? And why are you wearing his clothes?", Sara asked in confusion.

I swallowed hard.

"Thank goodness you're alright sweetie", Ms.Trudy said before hugging me.
She let me go, and went back to tell the cops I was fine.

I looked at both Liam, and William who were now staring each other down.
It was hella awkward.
Like I had to choose between them.

And I told myself, I was done choosing William. So I did the unthinkable.

I turned to Liam walking towards him, and I honestly just wanted to say thank you for dropping me, and he could go home, but he thought different.

He pulled my waist towards him, and smashed his lips into mine, and I didn't stop him either.
I should have.
I never was the type to make someone jealous but William deserve it.

We parted.
"I'll see you tomorrow", he whispered into my ear before eyeing William and getting into his car and driving out the driveway.

I then turned to William who wouldn't even look me in the eye. I went to walk past him, as he grabbed my arm.

"Is this what you really wanted?", he asked.
I pulled my arm out his not so tight grip, "I never wanted any of that to happen. What I really wanted was for us to be together, but just like your mother said, I will never be enough for you. But for Liam, I'm more then enough", I said with attitude.

"Don't be ridiculous. Your just doing that to get back at me for sleeping with Anne", he said.

I froze.
Wait what?

"You slept with Anne?", I asked.
"You slept with Liam", he said tryin to justify it.

I chuckled.
"Your right. I did. And you know what, I shouldn't even care because you weren't mine to began with, just like how I was never yours", I said walking away.

I walked into the house, as the girls stared at me in confusion.
"What the hell just happened? You went to jail?", Amber asked.

"It's a long story", I said.
"We have time", Sophie said.
"All you have to know is William and I are over, for good. His mother made that crystal clear, and so did he when he slept with Anne", I said.

"Are you okay?", Amber asked.
"I'm fine, because I slept Liam", I said with no emotion.

"You what?", sophie asked.
"I- I don't wanna talk about it. Just know William and I are over, I'm going go take a shower and go to bed. Goodnight", I said before going upstairs.
