Love Me Harder

Chapter 4

"Good morning, princess." 

This word's echoing in my ear and it doesn't stop. I slowly open my eyes and see Trudy and Eve standing next to my bed. Oh, it's them. They serve me my breakfast and give me the daily newspaper, just like they always do in the morning. But it feels like my room looks a little bit different. Maybe they added some new furniture.

 "Something's different with my room. What did you guys do to it?" 

 "There's another gift for you, princess. Someone  delivered it this morning," Eve explains. 

"What gift?" I ask. Eve looks back at Trudy and in that moment I realize there's a big -I mean giant- bouquet of flowers inside the vase that's put beautifully on the table next to my desk. The vase is surrounded by a lot of other gifts that were given to me by the guests last night.

"Could you give me a minute, please?" I'm still surprised by the flowers. Who are they from?

"Of course, princess." They leave my room immediately. The flowers are so beautiful and they look so fresh. There's also a card tacked between two flowers. I eagerly open it. 

Good morning, beautiful. ZM

 ZM? Zayn?

My heart is beating very fast and I can tell that my cheeks are burning. My lips curve into a huge grin and I'm sure I look like an idiot. I haven't felt this happy for such a long time and I've missed it. I can't believe it, I'm literally jumping around my room right now! I let out a deep breath, trying to calm myself down.

 Why am I so happy?

 Why is my heart beating so fast?

 Is it... Love? Love at the first sight?

 My heart jumps when I hear a knock coming from the other side of my door. 

 "Come in." The door opens slowly and I see Trudy and Eve standing there, "What is it?"

 "The King and Queen want to meet you, princess," Eve speaks up. 

 I furrow my eyebrows, "Why so suddenly?" 

 "We don't know, princess."

 "Alright."

This is so weird. I've seen them almost everyday this week, which is quite a change to how we used to meet as a family. It's great actually, but I still have to wake extra early and it's frustrating me.

I cleanse myself as fast and good as I can and choose to wear a simple yet beautiful dress. It's slightly open at the top, but still can be regarded as polite and not too revealing. Plus, satin material makes it so comfortable to wear and the colors -they're so soft!- give a bright and airy impression. I let my hair straggling free, only in a straight clamp.

 After checking myself in the mirror for the last time, I rush down the stairs and walk to the living room.

 "Good morning, princess. The King and Queen are waiting," greets the doorman.

"Thank you." He opens the door and yes, they are indeed waiting for me, again. They'll probably discuss about this now.
