y/n's pov
"be back before 5 o'clock y/n."
"okay mom."
i walk out the castle doors and go out into the real world. i have a certain time limit i can be outside for.
i decide to go get some coffee. "that's it, thank you." i thank the barista as he hands me my coffee. i turn around and accidentally bump into somebody. "i'm so sorry."
"don't be sorry, i was the one not paying attention. i'll buy you a new one." the boy goes to the cashier.
"no, it's fine... i should probably buy you a new shirt." i look at his now brown shirt that was white before. "it's fine, i have more. excuse me, what did she get before?" he asks the worker.
"vanilla iced coffee."
"okay can i have two of those please." he hands the man money. "oh i'm vinnie by the way." he puts out his hand. "i'm y/n." i smile and shake his hand.
"is it okay if we talk for a bit?" he scratches the back of his head. "yeah, sure." i lead us to the tables outside. "do you go to school around here?" he asks. "uhm, not really. i'm homeschooled."
"oh same here." he smiles. he gets up and grabs our drinks. "you know you didn't have to, right?" he hands me my drink. "yeah, but i wanted to. i was distracted with all these other plans." he says as his face turns kind of sad.
"can i ask what's wrong?" i question.
"why not, i'll probably never you again." he chuckles.
"well, i'm getting married to some girl and i don't really like her. i'm only doing it for my moms business. i'm the next heir when i really don't want to. so, now they're making all these plans and i have no say in it whatsoever. then i have to go to this princess's stupid ass wedding on saturday because we have to show our respect. her family doesn't even like us." he finishes.
does he not know? "well, i understand doing things against your own will. sometimes you have to suck it up." i look down. "you seem like you have worse things going on in your life. now speak to me." i hear him say.
i pause because i know i can't tell him that i'm the princess just yet. my parents wanted me to keep it a secret until the wedding. "hey, i'm waiting." his tone kind of aggressive.
"well, it's just family issues. i can't tell them how i feel. then this boy i'm-uhm- dating? i don't like him but my parents LOVE him." i twist a few things.
"well, tell me about him. what don't you like?"
"well, he's just not my type. he never listens to me, he's such a goody goody, he always needs my parents validation, and i just DONT like him. he seems fake." i sigh.
"tell your parents." he slightly laughs at my attitude change. "i have but they don't care. they-" i get cut off by a honk. vinnie and i look over and i see the house manager looking at me. "i - i- have to go." i wave bye to vinnie.
"what about your number.." i hear him say lowly. i enter the car and my dad starts speaking. "y/n, do not speak to that boy."
"why not?" i groan.
"DONT SPEAK TO HIM EVER AGAIN! YOU'RE MARRYING MICHAEL IN A FEW DAYS AND THAT'S FINAL. WE DONT SPEAK TO PEOPLE LIKE THAT. DONT YOU DARE RUIN YOUR PRINCESS IMAGE FOR HIM." my dad yells.
"shut up." i murmur. "Y/N YOU'RE FORBIDDEN FROM TALKING TO HIM!" my dad walks out the car and into the castle. i sigh and enter, walking to the kitchen. "y/n.." i hear my mom.
"yeah, i know i can't talk to vinnie. i fucking get it. it's michael this michael that." i hold back the tears about to spill out due to anger. "here's the boys number. i'm assuming you weren't able to get it." she hands me a piece of paper.
"why..?"
"i know you might like the boy since you hate michael. you deserve happiness. you're about to take over, so make your own rules." she kisses my forehead and walks out.
i walk up to my room and dial the number.
"hello...?"
"hi, mm is this vinnie?" i ask.
"yes. who is this?"
"y/n.. from the coffee shop."
"ohh. how'd you get my number. stalker." he jokes.
"i have my ways." i giggle.
we talk for about two hours until it gets dark. "do you know how to skate?" he asks. "no..."
"come meet me at the skate park. i'll teach you. be there in five." he hangs up before i get to answer.
i look down and see everybody in the kitchen probably talking about my wedding in three days. i lock my door and go to my balcony. i jump down, probably breaking something but run before the guards can see me.
skate park
"are you okay? you're bleeding." he grabs my elbow. "oh, yeah. i ran into something." i laugh. "it's bleeding a lot. are you sure you're okay?"
"yeah i'm fine. now teach me." i get off the subject.
"Y/N GET HERE NOW!" i hear my dad from a car. "who's that..?" vinnie puts a protective arm around me. "it's my dad." i sigh. "RUN" i say as i run, looking back to see vinnie running with me.
"Y/NNNN!!" my dad yells but i ignore him. we end up making it to the beach. "why did we just run from your dad?" he asks lowly. "reasons. it'll make sense in a few days. but can we just hang out for these next three days and have fun?" i look at him smiling.
"yes. these next three days, you're doing what i usually do. you're meeting my friends and i'm gonna show you fun." he smiles.
