Dream Fairy Tale

Chapter 39: Ashton's POV (Part 2)

Days have passed since our school trip. Nasa library ako ng Palasyo ngayon.

"Your Highness, Princess Nicole asked for you in the lobby."

Napakunot ang noo ko. What she's doing here?

Tumigil muna ako sa mga binabasa at pinuntahan siya.

"Prince Ashton!"

"What brings you here?"

"Hmm. I just want to hang out with you."

Seryoso ko siyang tinignan.

"As a friend," dagdag niya.

"But if you don't want, I'll just go home."

Umiling ako. "It's not like that. I'm going somewhere."

"Saan?"

"At Prince Denver's."

"Anong gagawin mo roon?"

"We'll play basketball."

"May I come?"

I looked at her once again.

"You know, I'm always alone in our mansion."

I sighed. Tumango ako sa kanya.

"Thank you! What time ba ang usapan niyo?"

"9 am." I looked at my watch, and it's already 8 am.

"We have one hour to go. I need to see my Dad para makapagpaalam muna."

Tumango ako.

"Sa Mansion na lang tayo nila Prince Denver magkita. Thank you again, Prince Ashton."

She bid her goodbye. I dialed Denver's number.

"Hello?"

"Nicole's coming with us. Is it okay?"

"No problem."

I know I said that I'm not going to associate myself with the people here. But what can I do? It's the only way to see Tanaiah.

Naghanda na ako papunta sa mansion nila. Nang makarating ay nadatnan ko siyang nakapantulog pa. Umakyat agad siya pagkakita sa'kin pero bumaba rin para bumati. I smirked.

I was trying to have a conversation with her, but she couldn't even look at me. I apologized for what happened, for hurting her feelings and making her cry.

Paulit-ulit niyang dine-deny na hindi niya ako gusto, but it's obviously written on her face. I would always look at her eyes every time she denied it. Her eyes can't lie.

Unti-unti akong lumapit sa kanya. I want to laugh because she's panicking.

"H-Hoy! Ano bang ginagawa mo?"

Nakangisi lang ako.

"Alam mo bang ang rami naming maids dito sa bahay? Gusto mo bang sumigaw ako nang maalarma sila sa ginagawa mo?"

"Tss. That would be useless. Kahit naman makita nila tayo, they won't do anything because I'm the Prince, right?"

Napaupo siya sa sofa nila. I bend to look at her eyes directly.

"Ano bang ginagawa mo?" she whispered.

I'm seeing now closely her beautiful eyes. Damn. I'm sorry for causing tears on it.

"Even you said that you don't like me, I'm still sorry."

I moved my face towards hers. I can kiss her now, but I'm not going to do that.

I smiled when I saw her close her eyes. Can I change my mind?

"We're here."

Narinig ko ang pagdating ng iba. She opened her eyes. I'm not sure if the others saw us, but that would be great.
