Finally looking into his eyes, I asked." Excuse me, not to be rude, but do I know you?" his eyebrows raised, the forest green orbs of his looking at me intently. Oh no. no way.
i can't be... it's...
" Damian !!?? oh my god it's you!" he chuckled at my outburst and offered me a friendly smile.
" Sorry about school, and yeah, did you think you were the only one working in the palace?" he grinned at the last part making me gawk in surprise.
" Omg! So, you are alive. I can't believe I'm about to say this to the person who was going to steal my first kiss, Thank god your alive. I thought you died that day. what happened anyways?" he chuckled as I took his arms when we started walking towards the palace.
"let's just say I accidentally had tried to play with fire, so I got warned off." He shrugged.
"huh? What's that supposed to mean. Do you know who that stranger was?" he looked up ahead while answering.
"nope I don't, even if I did, I wouldn't tell you. By the way you look very gorgeous". I felt warmth prickling my cheeks at his comment. I know it was a friendly comment but I'm a girl and when someone says your beautiful can I stop what I feel?" Thank you, you don't look so bad yourself." He laughed. And this time I laughed with him too.
"you said you worked here, so do you know Vivian? She's my friend it'd be great if I found her." Damian almost sopped on his tracks but managed to walk back again.
my question had sent him pretty quiet which got me very curious.
"Damian? Do you-"."no I never heard of anyone named that. Sorry. And my orders as personal body guard of the prince was to bring you to him." Woah hold on what??
"wait what? You're a personal body guard?? To who? Which prince??" I asked him clearly stunned, but kept walking.
" Uh-uh, now, now that's for you to find out. Hopefully you'll meet his highness." We had walked into the hallway leading to the royal ball room. It was breathtaking. The palace is always fabulous but I have never seen it this jaw dropping before. It was evidently magnificent. The chandeliers were a mixture of golden and blue color making the whole palace come to life. The sound of music was sedative yet blasting the whole place on fire. The red velvet carpet had been crystallized with shining golden flecks that had an example of galaxies filled with stars.
"but why Damian? Why me?" I asked. And stopped. He avoided my eyes and said as we had reached the large door which lead to the ball room. "honestly Iris, I don't know either. But what I know is you are very special. anyone can feel it. i feel it too. But my loyalty is with him. I only do what he asks me to do. You're here as he pleases and I must leave. Good luck. Consider me a friend?" he asked. I had smiled and said.
"of course, and thank you for everything." He smiled and disappeared into one of the crowds. I guess now I'm on my own huh? Damian has a heart. He actually has one. He said I was special. I was special as in a friend to him. And it was hard to believe he had stolen a spot from my heart as well. Smiling happily knowing I had made another friend I started to walk through the crowd of people. Who must be the prince? I wondered as I made my way towards the drinks. A lot of men had asked me for a dance but I had refused, I didn't feel like it.
