Episode 25
By Simrah Saeed
Semi final???
? Alyssa ?
My eyes met with Prince Ryan and I saw he was staring right back at me still holding me firmly
Did he really want to take me on a date or is Mela playing tricks with me?
Like prince Ryan asking me for a date? How? Just how?
If it’s true then I happen to be among the luckiest girl on Earth.
A lot of ladies will be envious of me g0sh!
Aren’t I the luckiest already? First he kssed me, he touched me, he took me on his shoulder into my room and now a date.
My heart fluttered remembering we’ve been in the same position for five minutes.
I quickly released myself from his hold standing in embarrassment.
Thank goodness none of the princesses are here.
I could have turned more red than I am now.
He cleared his throat while I looked down. What’s going on in his head ?
I thought he was going to say something but he was just staring blankly at me.
Oh wait! Don’t tell me we are going to stand here till forever!
I can’t just walk away you know and he’s not talking, my feet is beginning to hurt.
” Uhhm Alyssa please look up ” he said raising up my chin to look at him.
His hand that touched me brought g00sebumps to my body.
A strange sen$ation ran through my body. What’s happening to me?
I have never felt this way before, not for any man, not even for Raphael!
What’s this feeling? Or am I falling for the prince?
Crap! What am I saying? I can’t possibly fall for him.
That’s not possible! But what if it’s true? Will he reciprocate the feeling?
Prince Ryan can’t love someone like me, I am just like a clown . Not just a clown but a fighter, he’s seen me fight and I am not sure he will ever be interested in someone who beat up guys.
Goodness! I guess I have to keep it Tom myself, I believe the feeling will go away with time.
It just have to, one thing I hate most is one sided love. I am becoming a victim?
I jolted from everything that is going on in my head when he stepped closer to me.
My eyes focused staring at his hazel eyes and everything at that time flew away.
I am sure he’s hearing my heart thundering very fast due to how close he is to me.
What is wrong with me?
” Are you listening to me Aly? ”
Huh? Aly? Is that my new nickname? Although it sounds so unique coming from his mouth.
Wait, did he say something? I didn’t hear anything ! I didn’t know he even spoke lord! Where was my mind?
Oh! I guess I was busy staring into his soul!
” Alyssa?” He called raising an eyebrow at me.
I am officially going cr@zy! I need to see a therapist before it gets out of hand.
” I… I.. I am sorry, I spaced out ” I said shyly or was it embarrassingly? That will be a better phrase for it.
I have disgraced myself enough today! All thanks to Mela.
He chuckled before shaking his head! He chuckled at me for the very first time! Even his chuckled looks adorably cute.
” would you go on a date with me? ”
Humph! I didn’t hear him well right? You know sometimes it’s difficult to hear when your mind is occupied.
He just said asked me that freaking questions, OhMigod! OhMigod!
I hope the smoke coming from my head isn’t visible.
All I wish to is to scream my lungs out but everyone will see me as a mad person.
Prince Ryan asked me to go on a date with him!
He stared at me patiently waiting for my answer.
Did he think I will turn down this lifetime offer?
I will make it one if my memorable days damn!
” Would you?” He asked huskily! Is he trying to seduce me with his voice or what?
I bit my lower lip and nodded!
You don’t wish to know how I am happily screaming inside my head!
” Y. Yeah ”
” Really?” He beamed. Humph!
” Yeah, I will just go change ” I replied stepping back but he held my wrist stopping me from walking further
” You look beautiful in this dress, no need to change ”
H0lly Moly!
With the way I turned red due to the compliment, I am sure I will be very sweet if I am yo be used as tomato.
????????????
? Ryan ?
We sat down at the reservation I got on our way in a fancy restaurant.
I just had to play along with Melanie because this will benefit me a lot. That girl is a smart ass! I guess I will reward her later.
But it baffles me alot as to how she decieved both of us. That little girl!
I will use this medium to confess my love to her, going straight to the point will do.
There will be no point in us dating right? I know her enough that I should and I am sure she knows me well too.
That’s what dating is all about. I will ask her to marry me !
I know it might sound too soon but I can’t wait any longer.
Maybe you should know this little secret, since the very day I met her, I bought an engagement ring in proposing to her thinking it was gonna be easy giving it’s try.
I haven’t dated before and I don’t believe in courtship whatever!
All my family members love her and that’s what that matters.
Can you believe Dad called me yesterday telling me he was gonna arrange a marriage for both Alyssa and I?
Dad has never liked any lady like he love her, not even Zoey!
One thing I am afraid of is turning me down, what if she doesn’t like me?
” You like it here?” I asked glancing at her while she nodded.
” This place is so beautiful but I think everything here will be very expensive ” she replied with a frown which made me chuckle.
How can someone frown and still look beautiful?
And she’s bothered about things being expensive? Every other lady will jump on this kinda opportunity and eat to their satisfaction not thinking of waging the guy’s pocket.
But here this angel in front of me is complaining, isn’t she unique? Her type is just so rare.
” You don’t have to worry about a thing Alyssa, I brought you here remember?” I should raising my eyebrows. She nodded bowing her head.
” What’s your order my prince and princess?” The waitress asked handing us the menus
” Uhhm, I will go for caramel pecan brownies ” Alyssa said.
” And you my prince?”
” Same ”
” Your order will be ready in twenty minutes ” she bowed and left.
I quickly texted someone on my phone and put it back into my pocket.
It’s gonna be a surprise and I hope it spice up things but not destroy it for me.
This is my first time taking a lady on a date, where do I start from now? We can’t continue staying in this awkward silent.
” How were you able to convince your uncle into forgiving my parents?” I asked trying to start a conversation with her.
I learnt about it earlier from Scarlett of course! She’s the palace media, radio and newscaster.
I watch as her face dissolved into a coily smile . She shrugged her shoulders raising up her head.
Is there anything I don’t love about this Lady?
” I didn’t do anything much, I only pleaded with him and used other magics that worked perfectly ” she replied shrugging again.
I stared admiringly at her, she’s not just beautiful but also smart! Very smart and intelligent!
” You will sure be my personal adviser and counselor when we eventually gets marr….”
I paused coughing slightly! What the hell was I about to say?
” Sorry, are you okay?” She asked with concern while I nodded looking away.
I just hope she doesn’t get the idea of what I was about saying.
” Y…yeah ”
Perfect! Our food arrived at that moment and we began eating! Phew! A sweet escape.
*****************************
? Alyssa ?
Stay right here, I will be right back ” Prince Ryan said standing up while I nodded.
My stomach is so filled up! G0sh! I ate a lot today !
” Attention everyone, attention please ” I turned to the direction of the voice to see prince Ryan standing in the middle of the restaurant with everyone’s gaze on him.
What’s he doing? Why’s he seeking for attention? Did anything happen?
The restaurant became as quiet as a mouse. No single movement was made.
Everyone just gave their attention to Prince Ryan as he demanded including me of course.
I am as curious as the rest to know what he wants to say
” I am really sorry for disturbing your peaceful fun everyone, I just thought this is the right time to say this ” he said .
Our eyes met and he passed me a smile which made my heart flutter.
” There’s this lady I met, my spirit directed me to her even before I met her. I fell in love with her as a stranger in my dreams ”
” It’s weird to fall in love with someone you see in your dreams right but that was my case, I fell for her in my dreams ”
” I was determined in finding her, even after 2years, I never gave up on my search for her till I found her ”
I frowned while I stared at him, I knew it! How can I be so foolish to fall for someone who is in love with someone else.
D@mnit! I bit my lower lip to prevent me from crying, it hurts so much!
How did I end up falling for Prince Ryan? Was I stupid?
” She was more beautiful than I saw her in my dreams, the very day I set my eyes on her, I knew she was the one for me, the girl I have waited for for years ”
” She’s the best lady any guy will want to make her his, she’s humble, strong, smart, intelligent and reserved ”
” I know I am not good at words but I hope this makes her happy, we’ve been friends but I haven’t for once confessed my love to her ”
” I am not ready to date her, I don’t wanna date her but make her my Queen and I think I will have to do it now as it’s the only ample opportunity I have gotten so far ”
Okay! I can’t take it anymore! I can’t bear it to see him proposing to another woman in front of me.
Did he bring me on a date just to propose to the one he loves? I am so hurt!
I stood up and began heading out of the restaurant before I break into tears. I can’t disgrace myself here.
” Alyssa Akira Logan ”
I paused on my track as I heard the prince mention my name. Huh? Me?
Everyone in the restaurant turned to me and I hope the ground will just open up and swallow me.
I gulped down turning to face the prince only to see him on his knees.
What?
” Alyssa, the know this might be too soon and sudden but I can’t help it anymore, I can’t keep hiding the fact that I love you, I am deeply madly in love with you ”
” Will you do me a favour by becoming my bride?”
I heard a loud bang in my head and I staggered. Prince Ryan? Asking me to marry him?
Was he talking about me all this while? Oh God!
* Don’t keep the prince kneeling, say yes already .
* You are one h.ell of a lucky girl
* Awwn, this is so r0mantic
* Just say yes already, the prince is kneeling for you
* That’s a diamond ring
* Seriously, I wish I was the one he just propose to
* Can you say yes already?
* Don’t keep him waiting
I shun their comments staring at prince Ryan.
” My.. Prince, please get up ” I said to him but he only shook his head.
” Not until you accept my proposal Alyssa and it’s Ryan to you, will you marry me?”
God! What should I say?
” You know she will bro, she’s definitely going to marry you ” me
Huh? Scarlett?
I turned only to meet a shocker! Our entire family is here!
How did they know we are here? Was this all planned out?
Goodness! This is so embarrassing!
