Marriage by law {Completed}

《Chapter Eleven》

Through the night Princess Octavia tosses and turns not able to fall asleep her words repeating over and over again like a broken record 'stay away from him.' It seemed like an empty threat but as she thinks about it again her palms start to get sweaty, heart beating rapidly and breathing becoming ragged. She sits up right in her bed scared of what is to come if she didn't listen, she bites the bottom of her lip thinking if she wants to take the risk or obey you can't obey Octavia you're strong you're not a dog on a leash her thoughts consuming her mind. Sighing she checks the time and it's midnight so she gets off her bed to get a drink from the kitchen as quietly as possible.

Octavia creeps down to the kitchen grabbing a cup from one of the cupboard pouring herself water gulping it down "so what brings you here?" a groggy voice makes Princess Octavia jump out of her skin nearly dropping the glass cup "sorry I didn't mean to startle you" Prince Nicholas apologizes. His black locks a mess as he wears a simple black hoodie saying King in white at the back with basketball shorts, Princess Octavia thinks to herself if he were to wake up everyday like that she wouldn't mind waking up to such a sight "you're drooling mi amor" he smirks. A slight tinge paints her cheeks thanking that it's dark.

"What are you doing up early?" turning the subject to him.

"I was about to ask you the same thing" the smirk still there.

"Well I just have a lot in my mind right now" she answers washing the cup before placing it back "what about you?"

"Mi amor you see, that is a secret" he smiles making her heart flutter and she thinks to herself that she may have forgotten how to breathe "nice outfit you got there" he playfully winks at her attire which consists of shorts and over sized grey hoodie, she blushes looking down avoiding his gaze "so you want to tell me what's been going on in that pretty head of yours?" his words make her blush deepen. Octavia sucks in a breath trying to calm her racing heart.

"It's nothing really it's dumb" she looks up only to find him standing right in front of her catching her breath.

"Dumb or not I don't care I just want to help" giving her an assuring smile. Princess Octavia jumps on the kitchen island counter placing her butt on it and so does Nicholas "I want to lift that weight off your shoulder" at that very moment Princess Octavia mentally swoons but nods either way.

"Well this person came up to me and confirmed that I was the Princess then" Princess Octavia yawns eyelids becoming heavier and heavier by the second "that person told me to..." her words are cut off when her head falls onto Prince Nicholas's shoulders fast asleep. Nicholas chuckles lifting her up bridle style taking her back to her chambers gently placing her on the queen sized bed tucking her in, he inches his face closer to hers planting a kiss on her forehead whispering.

"Goodnight mi amor" before leaving to go into his own room.

Morning rolls by quickly Prince Nicholas waking from his slumber remembering this mornings events causing him to smile to himself from how she was scared to when she became flustered to when she fell asleep on him, opening up to him. He clears his mind from everything to get ready for the day Prince Nicholas rolls out of bed to his bathroom adjusting the temperature of the water before stripping from his pajamas into the shower the warm water relaxing his muscles, after five minutes of cleaning himself he changes into a white button up top over it is a black blazer and black jeans his hair damp and in a mess. He then heads out of his chambers to have breakfast downstairs with the rest, when he has made an appearance in the dining room everyone is sitting down food in front of them waiting for the last two to arrive he looks around for a free seat one next to Princess Octavia and one beside Jacquelyn.

Princess Octavia smiles at him sincerely while Jacquelyn flirtatiously calls him over, he didn't want to seem rude so he made his way to Jacquelyn only for Aaron to swoop in quickly taking a seat next to Prince Nicholas's ex-girlfriend.
