Annaira and Lucas in media.

Annaira's POV (cont.)
I wake up when I start to feel rain droplets fall on my face. I also notice the sky has turned even darker than earlier and realize that it's not so early anymore. "Did I really sleep out here for most of the day?" I ask myself. Disregarding the obvious I pull out my phone and see multiple texts and calls from my mother and father. I get up, shake myself off, and head back to the house. As I'm walking all of this morning's events flash through my mind. I'm no longer angry but sadness still consumes me. I think to myself, "maybe it won't be so bad" and "atleast mom is going to get well".

As I approached the gorgeous 3 story house my parents purchased (yes we were well off), I noticed an unfamiliar car in the drive way. Immediately the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. They were here and I knew I was being watched. When I walked inside I saw no one but I heard muffled voices speaking. They must be in the dining room. Once I walked in everyone turned their attention towards me. I couldn't help but make eye contact with the gorgeous man sitting at the table.
"ANNAIRA WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!" My father exclaimed breaking the hold this mysterious gentleman had on me.
"I went to the park dad" I said, while rolling my eyes at him.
"Young lady, Sir Lucas as well as me and your father have been waiting for you all day. You can't keep a member of the royal court waiting". Sir Lucas interrupted, looked at me and said "it's fine, It was worth the wait." Making me blush slightly. He continued and said " I have come to give you instructions from Prince Mikal."
"Why couldn't you just give them to my parents, or better yet sent them in the mail" I replied. I'm sort of sassy what can I say.
He smirked and said," The prince wanted me to see you in person and make sure your parents weren't lieing about having a daughter." I rolled my eyes again.
"Why would my parents lie about something like that?"
He looked at me dead in my eyes and replied "people will do anything when they're desperate" referencing how my parents sold me. I snapped back, " well you see me, give me the damn instructions and leave now."
He smirked again happy he got the reaction he wanted out of me, sat a Manila folder on the dining room table and also a black bag of som sorts, got up and left. Not forgetting to softly graze my side on the way out. I hate to admit but I couldn't help but shudder at the action. God that man was sexy....annoying but sexy. I was brought out my thoughts when my father suddenly exclaimed
"Thank you for making him angry. Let's hope he doesn't give Mikal any bad news."
At that I just grabbed the folder with the instructions and bag and walked away to my room.
I sat on my bed and read the note on top it stated...

Annaira V. Lewis
Inside this folder I have provided you with a list of instructions or tasks to complete before I come to retrieve you two weeks from now. I have sent the right hand man to me Sir Lucas to deliver them, if you were wonder who it was that delivered this information to you. The tasks are fairly easy. If you have any questions do not hesitate to call Lucas. I can not wait to meet you my dear.
-Your future betrothed and mate
MIKAL (999)654-3210

I looked through the folder and found the list of tasks.

1. Soak every night in a honey and oatmeal bath
2. Make a list of items you required to have in the digital notepad I have provided.
3. You must quit any job you currently have.
4. You are not to engage in any physical contact with anyone besides your parents
5. Go to the Baylor City Hospital and get a physical and vaginal check up.
6. Only use the phone I have provided for you.
7. Familiarize yourself with the information I have provided on me and my royal court.

The list went on and on. This man is so obnoxious, but when I saw the head shot he provided of himself I couldn't help but be a little surprised. The man was so damn gorgeous, he just had an ugly soul. No wonder everyone at my now OLD job at a cosmetics store was always gushing over him. I never took interest in finding out how he looked but now I see. After I skimmed through the paper work I ran the honey and oatmeal bath. I must say it was quite nice. After that I went to bed, dreading the next day.
