-Fuck a princess, I'm a King.

ELLE


Scared.

Scared was the perfect way to describe how I felt at this very moment. Scared that I would not meet up to Vince's standards. Scared that he would get bored of me easily. But what frightened me the most was rejection.

Having Vince's lips against mine was unexplainable, considering he just stole my first kiss. It felt as if everything in my life was not important besides what was happening now. And that scared me. I could be having a mental breakdown and all it would take is a kiss from Vince for me to calm down.

I barely knew him and I felt like he already had a place in my life. Like he would be here forever.

"Wait," I say as I began to pull away. He still had his hold on me but his eyes closed so I wasn't sure how I was supposed to get out of this situation. "What?" He breathes out and finally opens his eyes. "I- umm," my mind was blank at the moment, I was struggling to tell him three simple words. "I just can't," I finally had the courage to push him off of me and turned to walk away, but Vince reached out to me and pulled me back so I was in his arms again. "You can't what?" He breathes in my ear. I closed my eyes, trying to fight all this...tension.

"I can't allow myself to get hurt," I broke out. My gaze went towards the ground, afraid to look into his fierce eyes.

I felt his fingers stroke my cheek before grabbing the tip of my chin, forcing me to look up at him. "Who says I'm going to hurt you?" He whispers, making me sigh.

"It's not that. I just can't allow myself to put my trust in you. How do I know If I can depend on you whenever I need you? I can't let myself go like that Vince. It's happened before and I won't let it happen again." I was on the verge of tears because I've already told him too much. For the longest time, no words were said. He looked as if he was in deep thought, so I used this as my opportunity to finally leave.

"Wait," he stops me again.

"Let me hold you," he brings his arms out, waiting for me to engulf him in a hug.

A hug feels really good right now.

I sighed before walking into his arms whilst he wrapped them around me. I felt safe and protected in his arms. His head lay on the crook of my neck while he softly stroked my back.

"I don't know who hurt you," he broke off the silence but paused again.

"But all I'm asking is for you to be patient with me." He sighs.

"Just don't hurt me," I whispered.

--

"Ellyyyyyyy! You're still here?" I hear a voice wake me up from my deep slumber. I slowly start to open my eyes to find myself laying on top of Vince on his living room couch.

"Yea, I guess she stayed over, Ava." I hear her mom say with amusement in her voice.

Shit.

"Oh- I umm." Oh shit. This is wrong on so many levels. I quickly pushed myself off of Vince but his stubborn ass only pulled me back.

"No, principessa resta."

[Princess stay.]

He wraps his arms around me, not giving a damn about the show he was putting in front of his little sister and his mom. "I am so sorry-"

"Oh nooo, do not worry about it. I'm actually happy because you might actually keep him out of trouble." She winks while taking a sip from her cup. "Oh, it's actually not like that..." I shy away from embarrassment. She just gives me a smirk before backing away. "Whatever you say," she sings out. "Ava, come. Let me take you out on a bike ride e Lascia in pace questi due piccioncini."

[And leave these two lovebirds alone]

"Okay, mommy. Bye Elly!" They both waved off before heading out. I sighed out in frustration as Vince starts to open his eyes.

"Good morning, beautiful." He smiles before tucking a strand of my golden locks behind my ear. I couldn't help but blush at his compliment.

"I have a question."

"Mhm," he answers while I start to sit up. He kept his hold on my waist and to make it easier for both of us, I decided to sit on his lap.

Suddenly he tensed up.

"Why are you always so hot and cold with me. One moment you can act like a total ass and the next, you say the sweetest thing. What game are you trying to play Vince, because it's confusing the hell out of me." I sigh.

"I...don't know." He responds lamely. Suddenly, his fingers start tracing the waistbands of my leggings. "Vince," I pout, wanting a serious answer from him.

"I saw the way you calmed Ava down. It's like you're so used to the feeling of being hurt that you have a unique way of dealing with it. Getting to know you more made me realize that I was an absolute dick towards you and I apologize for that. Like I said, you need to be patient with me because I've never really cared about my actions, until now." He exhales. "I like it when you wear my clothes," he mumbled out.

I looked down and noticed I was wearing Vinces sweater instead of mine.

How-

"Oh,"

"What about you. What's your story?" He asked while I layed my head against his chest. "Umm, there's not much to tell to be honest," I mutter.

"Don't matter. I just wanna get to know you better," he says while running his fingers through my hair. "Umm, I grew up with a single mother. My dads in jail. My mom always felt like she needed to protect me from the world so she homeschooled me. I never really had friends, I use to watch the kids at the park from my window all the time. I mean, I don't blame my mom because half those kids turned into drug addicts and the others joined gangs. So she did save me in a way. She allowed me to get a babysitting degree because she knew I loved kids. Then we decided to move recently because our neighborhood became dangerous. There were at least two shootings every month. It was crazy. And now, I'm here with you." I concluded. He looked back up to me with the most adoring eyes and gently placed his hand on my jaw.

"I'm sorry I gave you a really terrible first impression," he laughs out and I snuggled up closer to him. "I hope I'm not pushing past my limits, but may I know the reason why your dad's in jail."

"That's a story for another day."

"Fair enough."

"Well anyways, I'm going to get going because my mom is probably worried out of her mind," I say as I start to get off of him and he groans. "You can't stay?" He pouts and I laugh at his childish response. "No, I need to go."

"Gimme a goodbye kiss then," he then proceeded to pucker his lips out. I playfully push him against his chest and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Goodbye, Vince."
