A Prince's Love

Chapter 9.

Maadwoa's POV

I cannot believe I'm actually sitting in a limousine. A limousine. I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming again. When I saw the long, black, shiny limo parked outside my compound, I almost refused to get in because I was so scared I'd destroy the car.

The guards are up front, with one of them driving the limo, while the four of us sit in the back, facing each other. Gifty and Tyler, who both look amazed from everything going on, sit across from Danny and I, as Danny smiles at us.

"Do you guys like chocolate? I have some if you want." he offers, pulling them out from the small compartment under our velvet seats.

Gifty and Tyler excitedly nod with smiles on their faces. 

"Thank you, prince." they say at the same time, while I nervously smile. I don't particularly like chocolate.

He hands them the chocolate bar and turns to me with his eyebrows raised.

"What about you, Maadwoa?" he asks, holding out the bar to me.

I give him a shy smile. "Thank you, but I don't like chocolate."

He raises his eyebrows in surprise while my friends chuckle.

"Really?" he questions me and I nod with a tight smile.

Tyler rolls his eyes. "Prince, please you'll have to excuse my dear friend. There are numerous things wrong with her."

I glare at him as Gifty lets out a giggle and Danny chuckles. 

"Well, what do you prefer instead?" Danny questions me.

"Vanilla. The only type of chocolate I accept is white chocolate." 

He nods. "That's... interesting. Lucky for you, I have white chocolate too."

I perk up in excitement and smile. He grabs another candy bar from the compartment and I almost squeal when he hands it to me.

"Thank you, Prince." I say graciously.

"Guys, please just call me Danny." he groans and we giggle.

"Okay, Danny" Gifty emphasizes his name. "May I ask where we are going?"

"Oh, it's a little restaurant outside of the city." he answers.

"Aren't you worried people may recognise you?" Tyler asks, and I nod in agreement.

"Well since its outside of the city, barely anyone knows who I am. Don't worry, we'll be fine." Danny responds.

We enter the restaurant with the guards trailing behind us. The restaurant was a small, cozy looking place with floral décor that gave it a beach vibe. Danny was right: no one seemed to notice a prince in their presence. The bodyguards do not stick out so they are fine.

The hostess leads us to a table at the back of the restaurant, next to an aquarium tank with cute, tiny fish swimming in it. The seats were red booths and the hostess smiles at us as she leaves the menus on the table for us. Gifty quickly picks the booth near the wall and pulls Tyler to sit next to her, giving me a wink as she does so. The bodyguards are led to another table right behind ours.

I playfully roll my eyes and look at Danny, waiting for him to sit first. He gestures his hand toward the seat for me to sit, and I smile before taking a seat right next to the wall. Danny passes the menus around and we all thank him.

"Thank you for bringing us here, Danny." I say gratefully.

Tyler and Gifty nod. "Thank you Danny."
