" Well hello, there beautiful one".
I stood there stunned, jaws dropped. I mean I glimpsed up thinking I banged into a wall, but what I was seeing was not even near to compete to a wall, it was much more strikingly different
.. well you could say it was something completely out of the encyclopedia. ' well duh! You idiot and again it's not a THING iris! It's a gorgeous so hot looking human being!!' my inner thoughts yelled and squealed at the last part.
I was looking up to see a very bright pair of lilac colored eyes. I never saw anything so astonishing... I mean did such lilac eyes even exist? Not this bright. Nope. There were tiny specks of blue inside the orbs with a hint of black. The pair especially came through with the guy's golden colored hair which was dancing with the rhythm of the quiet breeze. He was tall and masculine but something about him told me that this wasn't right. He wasn't right. There was a more pernicious vibe being given off...in a deeper darker way...it felt so strange. No matter how damn handsome he was, my whole body was resisting it...my heart was repelling the attraction...is that even possible?
The pull to the opposite direction was so strong, I stepped 2 steps back out of my own will. The guy raised an eyebrow to my surprise. OH MY GOD! I've been so busy staring I forgot to reply!!! " I-I'm so sorry, I-I didn't mean-" . "no, no. beauties like you shouldn't apologies there. Now girl, fancying me are yeh?". I was cut off before I could apologize when the guy spoke stepping a bit and twirling a strand of my brown hair in his fingers. Oh, how I wish I could smack the annoying smirk off that face.
"no," I said shortly backing away a bit so that the strand of hair fell out off his grasp. I really didn't like people toying me like this. I grow irritated. " who are you?" I said a bit harsher than I meant.
Instead of leaving me alone like I thought he would, he just gave me a twisted grin. " oh how rude of me? I have forgotten introduction, haven't I? well darling, let me". He twirled, in a circle like way around the spot he was standing directing with his arms, his eyes glancing all around the palace and when his circle finished a perfect rotation he was standing in front of me again with a very inappropriately decent smirk. My eyes bulged a bit with saliva running dry. No, it wasn't. as if knowing what I was thinking.
"I'm Prince Edward Alvarez. The youngest from the royal's bloodline." It felt as if a thousand bricks smashed right into my face. The color of it drained till I was sure I looked like flour. And there I stood bewildered at his words. How could I have been so stupid? How could I have been so idiotic? How was I so painfully naïve? Of course, he was. What another explanation was there for an astonishing looking guy (still not saying he's my type) roaming around the palace without the exception badge. He stood there looking satisfied with my dumbfound expression as if he expected it.
"So love, try and show some respect there, oh and see you tomorrow....should get used to me." He whispered the last part after a while before walking away right past me his palms in his pockets in an arrogant way.
That was when my body came to an end with its petrifaction. Scolding myself about my rude actions, I was pretty shocked too...normally I'm the shy type, but something about him made me feel anger....I never felt it before...like ever. And like WHAT THE HELL? I JUST MET THE PRINCE??? 'No one of them.there are 2.' oh right..but still!!!! OH MY GOD! I'VE BEEN SO RUDE!... What was gonna happen now? OMG! HE'S GONNA PUNISH ME!!! THAT'S WHAT HE MEANT BY SHOULD GET USED TO ME RIGHT? It had to be....! omg! omg! 'no, you idiot calm down! If anyone was to be punished he would've done it straight away! Ps his words saying get used to me meant something else....' My inner thoughts spoke to me calming me half way. It's sort of weird when you have inner thoughts...was I the only one? 'No you silly of course not.' Right, I guess everyone has them. Mentally face palming I looked around in hopes of peeking a glance at the golden color... but to my amazement prince, Edward was nowhere to be seen.huh..? How could he have walked so fast? Surely I didn't hear him run... but then again, I dunno how long it's been since I've been standing around like a fool. Shrugging I skipped down towards the guards showing I was off duty. I straddled forwards in search of a taxi...still thinking about Prince Edward...
...
Currently, I was lying on the bed in thinking. Now you must be wondering...why do I think so much? Well, let me tell you. I seriously dunno WHAT THE JUMPIN' JIMINY MY BEST FRIEND IS UP TO!!!? Seriously though...she ran off when I needed her to help me find out a dress to wear tomorrow! I called her at least ten times...texted her till my finger gave up...
For once in my life after my parent's death... I felt lonely...I felt darkness... the feeling was so awfully familiar which just got me so confused... I was dreadful for at least 30 seconds when I remembered about the blue eyes... seems like the stranger left me alone huh...? I haven't seen him in a while...'seriously iris? It's been just yesterday! God, why are you so pathetic? And why are you thinking about a wired stranger?' "Because I donno...I like him..no his eyes... I don't know..." I said out loud speaking to myself. Whoa did I just say that? Holy Pokémon! ' see what I mean? Maybe you should go see Aunt Lisa...' true...it's been a while since I haven't visited her. Okay! I haven't visited her in like 2 years!
I should really go over. Plus maybe she could help me with a dress? Right. Even though she's plain annoying she did have a caring side to her...so I most definitely knew she did love me..? Whatever. Doesn't matter...I still needed to visit. I got up from my bed and wore dark pair of leggings  and a maroon colored long sleeved peplum top and grabbed my black purse after hopping into a pair of brown combat boots . Applying lip gloss was a habit so after doing just that I let my hair down on one side of my shoulders...
....
The moment I was at her doorsteps nervousness washed me ever so smoothly. I took my sweaty vacillating hands up to knock on her door twice. Tapping my feet patiently I waited for a response.
I stood there for 2 minutes before stepping back to leave disappointed. Just when I was about to turn, the sudden rattling of keys made me come to a halt. Within seconds the door burst opened with a middle age woman in front. She was fairly beautiful with blonde hair and chestnut brown eyes. Familiar to my mother's. For a jiffy, we just stood there staring. " OH! MY! GOD! Come in darling! Where have you been?? How come you never came?? I was so worried! You didn't reply to any of my messages. Dear lord what brought you over...what changed the heart? "The color of guilt washed my face as I bowed my head down, embarrassed...
here I thought my aunt never cared but she is so genuine. Of course, she was...she wouldn't have taken me in the first place otherwise. I don't know what I had been thinking... "I'm so sorry aunt Lisa, I didn't mean it that way...it's just it's hard to drive umm...this far? And I've been sort of busy with school and palace work you know..." I tried to come up with an excuse that was believable, I never ever lied to my parents, but this isn't lying right? It's partly the truth. ...and after a long look, she seemed convinced. I relaxed a bit. "oh it's alright ills, I understand, I'm just so glad you came...and it's my fault I scared you away... you've grown so much prettier." She said beaming like a pearl it made me grin really bad." Thank you, aunty, really I'm terribly sorry. And I missed you, where are the boys?" I asked following her to the kitchen." It's fine iris. Oh and you know Jeremy is at kindergarten, Alexis is at football practice, Liam and Siam went off to a friend and baby Kyle is asleep, Jordan with him upstairs" she said all in one breath. I know...she has 6 sons. The eldest, twins, Liam and Siam who are 15, then comes Alexis who is 13, Jordan 12, Jeremy 04 and finally Kyle just 01-year-old....now imagine how annoying that is...
Mentally sighing I raised my eyebrows at her." I know" she said chuckling with amusement in her eyes." So you've been going to the palace?".I sat down on a stool." well yeah..it's fun and tiring I guess." She came down sat next to me with 2 cups of tea and placed one for me. "alright then."
Was all she could mutter? I guess she felt guilty...? I gave her a small smile when something popped into my mind... it wouldn't hurt if I just asked her right? right.
Twirling the tip of my fingers on my cup I watched the steam rising from it slowly before bringing the cup up to my lips for a sip. After putting it down I had decided to clear the awkwardness. "hey aunty?" she turned towards me raising a brow in response?" so I wanted to ask if umm...you know...err...how do I say this... ummm... Err...umm...am I...Am I...er-""oh for god sake spill it out iris!" she cut me off and to my surprise I blurted out the question that was bothering me too much... "am I adopted?"
I quickly recoiled myself and started to stutter." I-i- me-meant err...you-kn-""no it-is –o-k!, and the answer to your question is No. not that I know of, all I know is your my niece and the daughter of my sister."
The confidence in her voice cleared my suspiciousness but I don't think the nightmare was just a nightmare...I was just unconvincingly convinced at the moment. Does that make sense?" iris!" aunt Lisa had been frantically waving her hands on my face." Oh I'm so sorry...it's just- umm nothing." She gave me a confused look before saying." You are my niece and I love you, Iris, I just wanted you to know that." I looked at her shocked but happy. "umm..I love you too aunty!" I said ever so softly because I truly did mean it...her face glowed with joy.I just smiled and said after looking at the time.
" I have to go now aunt, it's getting dark and I need to get a taxi quick" she frowned for some reason but I didn't have time I needed to get a taxi, fast. I hopped off the stool and sort of jogged out when a hand stopped me by grabbing me by the shoulder." Iris! Wait!" it was aunt Lisa. I looked at her curious." You said you rode taxi's all this time?" I slowly nodded thinking where this was going. "well I sort of feel guilty for you know...taking the car that belonged to your parents...it was a selfish decision. I dunno why I did it, but here. it's yours now...I don't need 2 cars now do I?" I looked at the pair of keys hanging on the air waiting for it to be taken by my hands. I looked at my aunt clearly stunned. But quickly recovered. I felt the curves of my mouth rising up so high it hurt."OH MY GOD!REALLY?? real? FOR REAL? You're giving me that" I said pointing at the car parked at the corner. "That sweet Toyota Camry?????" she threw her head back laughing at my outcome. "yeas! yes! It's all yours!" I launched myself at her grinning like an idiot" THANK YOU SO MUCH! thank u, aunty, thank u..." my voice calmed as I reached the end of the sentence and withdrew into my past position. She just chuckled and said." It was always yours. Plus you were born a great rider weren't you?"I beamed at her showing my straight bunny like white teeth before saying bye and fist pumping into the air. Could this day get any better?
...
I took all my time riding my sweet Camry. Can you really believe it? a car? In my hands? And a house? But still pretty empty though...my happy thoughts subsidized a bit as I thought about my parents...
...
By, the time I was home it was pitch dark. I parked the car at the parking lot in the road at a corner before walking up to my house jangling the keys, fitting each one trying to figure out which one belonged in this lock. Finally when it worked the door creaked open slightly.
I was about to step in when my foot collided with something square like in shape. The collision was so rapid I tripped forward crashing my face on the moderately opened door which swung open at the swift outburst which left nothing but the cold floor for my face to land.
" Owwwwe! what the..." groaning I stood up turning the lights on and glanced and what in the coccidian had almost killed me alive. Oh, wait you die while you are alive.lol! Mentally laughing at my clumsiness I looked down only to find my almost murderer was just a lovely looking innocent box. "ohh" was all I muttered before grabbing it eagerly wanting to know what was inside.
I closed the door with my feet and dropped my purse on the floor before sitting down and placing the box on the small table in the living room.
Curiously with strong anticipation, I held the top of it and slowly opened it. As the top of the box opened it revealed gorgeously breathtaking white lace with diamond beads at points arranged neatly in a pattern, the lace was elegant and so admirable I didn't waste any time in unfolding it. I gasped as I stood up with the most eye-catching, jaw-dropping dress! It had long sleeved arms and which was lace that came up to the neck and it had a body fitting way not too tight and a small fluff at the end, knee-length not too revealing, It was so beautiful. Simple but elegant. whoever sent me knew my style. Something had fallen off when I took it out...it was a gleaming luminous mask. Again very royal.
I quickly snatched it from the floor and noticed there was a tag... hopes of seeing you tomorrow, Iris Rosalinda Helen. Yours the prince?? Whoa, what????THE PRINCE??? Which one??? Probably Prince Edward? But wait he didn't know my name, he used pet names...but it can't be I haven't even met him...
I didn't know what to do even though if either sent me it, they would definitely know it was me wearing it...which meant one of them was surely picking me! No, shit!.well this day got soo much better...
