A Princess For Christmas (Of The Dreams We Seek)

Five

The four girls including Avni and the Royal Siblings were currently at the airport in a hanger looking at the Royal Jet. The girls were awestruck, even Avni who have smart comments about almost everything was speechless.

 Exactly what Callahan was aiming to happen and he didn't fail into his conquest. "You own this thing?" One of her friends whose name he failed to remember asked. 

"Our country does actually, you can say it is a national property." The girl still looks dumbfounded when Callahan told her sister to find the piolet. She did so happily.

He walked towards Avni and asked "How do you like it Miss Avni?" She turned around seeing him so close to her. "Way to use your national resources Your highness. Do everyone of your country gets this privilege of owning their own Jet?" She asked still a little bit overwhelmed. 

"For holidays they can use it as they like to, someday if you visit my country you can see for yourself how well we use our national and international resources very well." She turned around to face him. 

"Am I hearing correct that you are inviting me to your country as a royal guest Your highness?" Callahan stop and looked at her. "I don't know about the royal part but I am inviting you as my personal guest Miss Avni, seeing how much hospitality you have shown us, to me and my sister it is only fair that we do that too." Callahan said. However, Avni was not pleased at all 

"Is there a return gift policy in your country? Because even if you do not do anything at all we still show this same hospitability, your highness" Callahan was taken aback.

"It wasn't my intention to offend you, I..." "Brother, the pilots are ready and asking the course shall we tell them" Callahan heard his sister's voice and closed his eyes trying to calm himself down.

 "Our discussion isn't over yet Miss Avni, I will return back to it after we confirm the flight plans with the pilot." He said looking at her. "I don't think I have anything to discuss with you your highness, at any time of the day." But he already left to find his sister and the pilots for his trip. 

As they were told to get themselves comfortable Avni chose to sit far away from the crowd as possible. "Must you always fight with him Avni?" Sneha asked her suddenly. "Why can't he stop making me angry with everything he says? Must he say everything that offensive?" She asked her friend. 

"He wasn't trying to; you misunderstood his words" Her another friend Nandita told her. "Look we spent considerable amount with the Prince and his little sister, he was not half as bad as you think him to be, just give him a chance and let him make you understand his point of view. It cannot hurt at all can it?" Shalini Commented. 

Avni was not very sure about it. She didn't know if she can make him understand her words or he can ever convince her about himself ever.

"All set, pilots are prepping the plane it will take them few minutes to do so, till then why don't you all relax and enjoy the Royal treatment ladies?" All the girls except Avni looked pleased. 

She had a faraway look into her eyes. It made him think what she is hiding behind her good girl façade, what is she trying so much not to show? Could it be that he was right about her all along? About his deductions about this girl which his logical mind spun for him, was it right? 

"Brother why are you gawking at Miss Avni?" He looked at his little sister. "I am not gawking at her, why would I gawk at her?" Callahan asked taking his seat beside his sister for the journey. "You weren't? so you weren't checking up her profile late last night too?" Callahan was amazed, he thought she was asleep.

 "How did you know that?" She crossed her arms and arched her brows, right now she looked so much like their Queen "Are you telling me I am wrong young man?" Callahan smiled ruffling her hairs. "Not the hairs Cal, I made Miss Nanette do this before leaving just to impress Miss Avni" Callahan wasn't a bit surprised
