Once Upon A Royal Love

Chapter 75

Alexandra's POV

I know. I know.

You guys are dying to find out what happened after Williams asked me that unexpected question.

"Marry me?", the voice of William replayed in my head over and over again, like it was yesterday.

I mean it was.

"Earth to Alex?", Sophie snapped her fingers at me as were in the dorms living.

I blinked out, looking around to see the girls sat near and close to me.

"What exactly happened after William popped the question?", Kat asked me.

"I told you already. I don't remember", I say lying.

"Bullshit.", Sophie yelled.
I rolled my eyes, "come on. Just tell us", Sara said.

"Alexandra", Kat said.

I sighed before answering.

"I pr....to....pa...ut", I mumbled causing all them to stare confusingly.

"What?", Amber asked.
"I pretended to faint", I whisper hoping none of them heard me but they did.

"You what?!", Sophie jumped up from the couch.

I covered my face.
"I know. I know.", I say.
"So you tell me... William. Your unborn baby's father. Who you love. Who you trust and want to be with. Tells you all those nice things about you and then asks you to marry him and you just pretend to faint to avoid answering him?", Kat asked making me feel like shit.

"What else was I supposed to do?", I asked with my arms reaching out.

"Idk. Maybe answer him", Amber said.
"I couldn't. I mean— is a lot to process after going through what I've been through", I say.

"Girls. She's right. Alexandra doesn't have to give me an answer right away.", Sara said defending me.

"I mean... well. Do you want to marry him?", Sophie asked.

I hesitated before answering.
"I-i don't know. I love him, and I really want us to have a family but— I don't know", I say.

Sophie was about to say something when the door bell rang; "I'll get it", Ms. Trudy said walking towards the front door.

"Alexandra. It's for you!", the voice of Trudy said in distance.

I got up from the couch; walking towards the front door to see William standing there.

"Thanks Trudy", I say as she walked off leaving William and I.

I walked outside with William, closing the door when the girls rushed to the window.

"How do you feel?", he asked me.
"I'm fine", I say.

"I mean you hit your head pretty hard yesterday", he said.

"Really?", I asked him.
He nodded, chuckling.

"Do you happen to remember anything before that?", he asked.

I think he thinks I forget he asked me to marry him.

Let's keep it that way.
"Uh— I don't... I don't think. I remember you talking, but I don't remember much of the words", I lied.,

"Oh", he said looking away.
"Why? Is there something I should remember?", I ask him.

He shrugs.
"Not really", he said.

So he didn't really want to ask that question.
I knew it.
It was probably the nerves talking.

"So", I say awkwardly.
"Um... so... the doctor and I had spoken and he told me you aren't to far along from your child", he said making conversation.

"How far from?", I asked.
"3 months.", he said.
"3 months?", I breathed trying to process.

"Tomorrow night; we're throwing a baby shower. I'll have my driver pick you and the girls up", he said.

"Okay", I say.
"I guess... I'll see you... tomorrow.", he said.

"Yeah. Totally", I said awkwardly.
It was weird none of us knew how to react or say something. I mean he did purpose to me, and then I pretend to faint not to answer him, and now he thinks I don't know right. So yeah.

Of course it's going to be awkward.
I mean. Do I want to marry him?

I-don't-know.

I froze before walking inside.
I don't know.

How the hell don't I know if I want to marry him. It's a yes or no, easy question. Easy answer. I mean... I love him. No doubt.

But I don't see William as that.
The husband type.
Hell, he isn't even the boyfriend type.

The question is... does he really want to marry me?
