The Prince and His Princess (Book 1)

Ben's Coronation

(The day before Ben's coronation)

"Hey Mal. Can we talk?" Harry asked.

"Sure." Mal agreed and Harry pulled her somewhere private. 

"So look it's about the coronation." Harry started saying.

"Harry I'm faltered, but I'm going with Ben." Mal cut him off.

"No that's not what I was gonna say." Harry replied. "It's actually about Uma." 

"You want to go with her?" Mal questioned.

"Yea." Harry answered shyly.

"So then ask her. What are you waiting for?" Mal said excited.

"That's the thing. I don't think she likes me in that way." Harry told her.

"How could she not? Even though I don't like you in that way. I still think anyone is lucky to have you." Mal told him. 

"Thanks Mal. So you think you can ask her for me?" Harry asked.

"Really?" Mal asked.

"Please!" Harry started begging.

"Okay, but only because you look weird begging." Mal replied.

"Thanks you're the best." Harry stood up and gave Mal a thumbs up before leaving. 

Later Mal went to Uma's dorm to talk to her.

"Come in!" Uma called out.

"Hey Uma." Mal slowly.

"Mal? And what do I owe the pressure of you visiting?" Uma smirked.

"It's about Harry." Mal stated.

"Oh no. Do you like him again? Mal what about Ben? He's becoming king tomorrow." Uma stood up.

"No! I don't! He likes you, Uma and wanted me to ask if you would go to the coronation with him?"Mal asked.

"Like as a date?" Uma questioned.

"Yeah." Mal replied nodding.

"I mean I guess. It could be fun." Uma shrugged.

"Good! I'll go tell him." Mal smiled at Uma before leaving.

While Mal was running out of the girl's dorm she ran right into Ben.

"Wow. Wow. You might want to slow down there." Ben stopped her.

"Hey." She replied being all flirty.

"Where are you running off to?" Ben wondered.

"I have to talk to Harry about something, but don't worry nothing like that." Mal told Ben.

"Mal I told you I trust you, but there's something I want to give you." Ben said. "Here." He took his hand from behind his back and handed her a box with a phone.

"Ben." She said as she too it. "I get offered his though." 

"Mal don't worry about that. Me and my family will take about that." Ben promised her.

"Thanks Ben." Mal looked at him, then hugged him. "Now I need to go."

"Wait don't I get a kiss before you go?" Ben stopped her again.

She turn back him and kissed him. "Better?" 

"Yeah." Ben nodded while grinning. "Now go."

"Harry there you are!" Mal ran over to him.

"What's up Mal?" Harry looked up at her.

"I talked to Uma. And she said yes. She will go with you." Mal told him.
