The Prince's Heart.

CHAPTER 34

Anan.

I couldn't sleep a wink last night, I mean how could I when Ahsab stole my first kiss but I didn't know if it did count as stealing because well he was drunk and I didn't stop him. Technically, stealing was taking something without permission and Ahsab did take my first kiss without my permission.

Throughout the night I did one thing. Stare at the Crown Prince. Three months ago if you told me that I'd come back to Mana and find myself catching feelings for the Crown Prince I'd simply tell you that you needed sleep cause you were talking BS.

But here I was at two in the morning staring at him knowing he would be the key to my happiness in life, knowing that I fell and when I fell. I fell so fucking hard I couldn't take it back, no one could take that back.

At about 4 I felt Ahsab jolt, I didn't move I clutched my eyes tight and just heard him, heard his footsteps, heard his movements. When he woke up he expressed sounds of pain, obviously he was drunk. And then muttered some not so pretty words, I felt him seat on the bed for some time before finally leaving.  When he left I got the opportunity to be able to sleep cause damn  I rest needed that sleep. It felt like I hadn't slept for in years.

*

The next morning I woke up with fear knot in my chest. The reality of last night was suddenly slammed into me and what could happen if someone found out increased the fear. I wasn't a fool, I knew everyone in this palace knew that Ahsab and I spoke but where to afraid to come up to me and especially me to talk about it. I could be hanged to death if authorities willed. But I knew Ahsab would help me, I hoped he would.

It didn't take me long to dress up and I made my way to the Royal kitchen it was busy as fuck. I wasn't suprised since the guest was coming to visit, I had no idea who it was and I honestly didn't care. I was just here to do my thing and leave. Mama was conducting the kitchen and not wanting any argument to arise between us I quickly made my way to the clipboard and scanned for my name.

Anan, Ameena and Sara- Falafel, Chicken and Beaf Wrap Sandwiches, Pasta and Meatballs, Biryani.

Oh Allah. I face palm myself and make my way to the sink washing my hands, then making my way underground. I know that's where Sara and Ameena are, no doubt. Yep they were, I spot them near the counter and we both offer each other smiles then proceeded with the meals. No time to waste, no time for conversation. That's why I liked cooking with them or anyone apart from Hafsa. We were always talking and talking, thank Allah Razan was a maid if not we would never get any work done together.

It took us 3 hours before we were done cooking, we had assigned each other with personal chores, I with the Sandwiches (not as easy as it sounds I had to make about a 100). Ameena made the falafel and Sara made Pasta and Meatballs. Sara being the good person she was volunteers to make the Biryani and I'm happy cause I obviously didn't wanna make it.

After the maids came over and were done putting up the meals in the respective trays and bowls. I eat my brunch because I hadn't had breakfast and it was way past lunch. It was almost 3, my phone buzzes and it's a text from Munira telling me to meet her at the garden.

In case you didn't know that was were the whole event was happening. The garden looked beautiful, it was decorated elegantly and whoever came would be pleased with the way it looked. I wore my abaya on top of my clothes and made my way there.

I'm outside on my to the garden when I feel Ahsab wrapping his arms around me. I roll my eyes and remove his arms turning around to see him. He's not alone Osama, the deputy Crown Prince is standing next to him and I want to sink in. Osama being there doesn't seem to faze Ahsab cause he puts his arm around my shoulder, still.

"Well, I just got the pleasure of meeting Laili and Majnoon together yet again"he jokes and Ahsab sends him a glare.

"Shut the fuck up"he murmurs which earns him a glare from Osama.

Osama and I exchange greetings and he's a really nice and especially a funny guy, though he doesn't seem like a very approachable guy on photos, like Ahsab. He was pretty nice, Ahsab sent him away claiming as he said 'I need to talk to my baby' which I wasn't completely sure he was talking about me.

When Osama went forward to were the event was taking place which was at a hut, which don't let the way it sounds fool you. It's not the normal kind of hut we all know. At the moment, I'm standing at the front of Ahsab, my body is against his and I make my hand into a fist. My body is suddenly hot and Ahsab lets out a hot breath, I feel it against my neck.

The memory of last night is suddenly running through my mind. His lips on mine, warm and soft. He probably didn't remember anything about last night but I did. I would never forget, a gasp escapes my mouth when he places his hand on my thigh. He runs his hand up my thigh and I look up at him. Desire and lust are filled in his eyes, I step forward.

"I should get going" I tell him. I'm about to set off when he pulls back my arm.

He leans down, his lips against my ear. "Don't think am done with you yet"

This man. My mind is telling me that I've just entered the lions den but my heart is saying sometimes the lions den can be your home. I shake from his embrace and remind myself why I was here. Too look for Munira and Latifa, that was it. Then make my way back to the kitchen.

My eyes are searching for them when I feel a hand on my shoulder stopping me from moving. My heart skips a beat and I think it's someone that just saw I and Ahsab, or someone who hated us for no reason and was about to fire me for even being here. This was a royal restricted event, only Royals were allowed to be here. From the amount of securities that were present it was clearly an important person that was coming.

I heave a sigh of relief I didn't know I was holding when I turn around to see Latifa. Latifa looks glammed up, she's wearing a beige dress and high high heels. Her make up looks extra and she's wearing extensions, even though she may look too much, she does look beautiful.

"Where were you Anan"she asks. I'm about to answer when she speaks again. "Doesn't matter you're here now, we have to be off. She'll be here any moment"

Latifa holds my arm and we start to walk. "She?"my eyebrow reaches my hairline. I really didn't think that the guest would be a female but I guess I was wrong.

"Yes, Ahsab's fiance"

My heart stops.

"Who?"I whisper. My whole life was flashed before my eyes, I was so hurt, didn't know why. It wasn't like Ahsab promised me we would be together but I really though. Gosh I was so fucking naive.

"Princess Farah Eidan"

Well, this is fucked up.
