Episode 6 ?
? Elena’s POV ?
“Thanks a lot, Harry. I had fun today” I thanked Harry.
We’re currently outside my house, Harry insisted to escort me home and he wouldn’t take no for an answer…..so, I just let him.
“I had fun too. Spending time with you just comes with a natural feeling of fulfilment” he said.
“Ok, I guess you should be on your way now” I said.
I don’t want my aunt to come out and meet him here, or I swear that he’ll never leave.
He nod, just when he’s about to open his mouth to say something, the door open and my aunt come out. I blinked rapidly to know if I’m dreaming, but nope, I’m wide awake.
Ok, so… Here we go…
“Oh, my!” She rushes out and walks round Harry, giggling as she does. “Who is this fine piece of art?” she asked.
“Hello, ma’am. I’m Harry, Elena’s friend” Harry brings his forward for a handshake.
But my aunt who’s always on high spirits, flogs his hand away.
“I’m a hugger, bring it in!” She said.
Harry bends down to her level and my aunt gives him her life squeezing hug. I winced for Harry, I can imagine the pain is going through right now.
He looks at me for help, I bite my tongue to stop myself from laughing.
“Aunt, aunt, that’s enough. Let him breath” I pull my aunt from Harry.
She hits the back of my head and poll my ear.
“So you were planning on sending him away, so that I won’t see him. Are trying to be a bad girl now? Huh?”
“Ouch, ouch. Aunt, take it easy” she removes her hand from my ear and cross her arms across her chest and huffed. “Aunt, don’t get angry. But I can’t just introduce any friend I bring home to you, right?”
“Silly girl! You don’t have much friend, the little ones you have, don’t fail to show them to me. Besides I don’t think you’ll remain friends for too long” she lowers her voice at the last part.
” Huh?” I look at her in confusion.
She brings her mouth closer to my ear.
“I can tell from the way he stares at you that he loves you. Has he told you anything about marriage, yet?”
” Aunt!” I feel my face warm up from her speech.
I see Harry from my perherial view, his ears and nose are red too.
He must have heard what my aunt said, and now he’s blushing. I swear my aunt don’t know how to whisper.
“What? I’m just saying. And if he does, I already give you my blessings” she said.
I shake my head.
” Harry, I thought you wanted to do something back home” I said, giving her m sings to play along.
He nods quickly with a smile.
“Yes, ma’am. I need to get home right now, my grandma asked me to do something for her”.
” No problem, handsome. But hurry up if you want to marry my niece, or someone might take her right in front of your eyes” my aunt.
Harry looks at me and I smile nervously at him. I’m just praying the ground should open up and swallow me.
“Aunt, he really have to go, his grandma doesn’t like to be kept waiting”
Harry looks at me with a surprise expression, I guess he’s surprise to hear me lie.
“If that’s the case, you should be on your way” aunt told him.
“Thanks, ma’am. I’ll be sure to visit you next time” he said.
He turns and walk away. When he’s out of sight, my aunt pulls me to her side and puts her arm around my shoulder.
“I pray that guy comes here next time with a marriage proposal. I can already picture how cute your kids will be, they’ll be so chubby and beautiful”
” Aunt, please stop daydreaming. Harry is out of my league” I said.
My aunt gasped loudly and pulls on my ear.
“I’ve told you to stop jinxing yourself” my aunt scolds me.
” Fine, I heard. I’m starving, have you prepared lunch?”
I enter the house and sit in our old and only sofa.
“No. I was about to before I saw you and that handsome hunk through the window”
My eyes drift to the table and I see an invitation card. I picked it up and see the royal stamp on it.
“Aunt?” I wave the card in front of my aunt.
“Oh, right. A man came by immediately you left the house this morning, he gave me this card and said it’s an invitation to a birthday party at the palace, and he said it’s for you” she said.
” Palace?” She nods.
I don’t know anyone in the palace, infact I don’t associate with anyone that’s rich.
“Did you confirm it’s for me?” I asked.
I mean it might be for someone else and the man came here by mistake.
“Yes. He said it’s for Elena Michaels, so tell me do you know someone in the palace?”
“No. Well, it doesn’t matter. I will just ignore it, maybe it’s a set up from someone” I said.
” You can’t ignore it, the man said a car will come and pick you up” she said.
Hmmm. I might as well run away from home that day.
? Prince Harry’s POV ?
“Yes!” I exclaimed.
Mark rushes to my room and look around, as if looking for any threats. I roll my eyes and stand up from my bed, then pulled his ear.
“Your highness, it hurts” he whined.
“Can you relax for once, Mark?” I asked.
” Let go of my ear first, your highness” he said.
I let go of his ear, carry my laptop and walked downstairs to my living. I sit on a sofa and eyes Mark.
He laughs nervously, shifting his feet.
“Your highness, I don’t have any time to relax. I took an oath to protect you always, so if I should relax and something happens to you I can’t bear the consequences” he said.
I sigh. This guy will never learn, I treat him like my brother, but he only sees himself as my bodyguard.
“Come. Choose between this two gowns which one is more elegant?” I asked and turn my laptop towards him.
The two gowns I’m talking about is beautiful, but I want the best of the two. One is a red empire waist, off shoulder gown and the other is a royal blue ball gown.
I look at Mark impatiently as he looks thoughtfully at the screen.
“I’ll say the red one” he said.
I grin. I also think the red gown is the right choice, I search for a silver ankle straps.
“Place an order for this gown and the shoe. Have it delivered at Elena’s” I told him.
” Yes, your highness” he said.
Just then my grandma walks in. I stand up and greet her with a brief hug.
“Grandma, you look much younger and more beautiful today” I tease her.
My grandma blushed.
” Thank you, Harry. I was the most beautiful girl in my time and your grandfather couldn’t take his eyes off me at first sight” she giggled.
I guess my grandfather and I have the same character.
I lead my grandma to a sofa.
“So what brings this beautiful girl to my humble abode?” I said and wink at her.
She blushed even more.
” Please, stop teasing me, Harry” she said.
I laughed at her shyness.
” So… I’ve sent an invitation to the girl I told you about”
I roll my eyes. Grandma you don’t have to do that, I wanted to say.
” Don’t roll your eyes at me, young man. I tell you, she’s a very good girl and you won’t find her type anywhere” she paused, her gaze look distant. “Even though she doesn’t know me, she helped me cross that busy road, and even return my purse full of money back to me. I was moved by her act of kindness” she said.
” But grandma…. ”
” Shhhh! We have a deal” she stands up. “I’ll see you tomorrow”
She kssed my forehead and walks out.
I look at Mark, he’s busy with my laptop. I smiled when I picture Elena in the gown, she’ll look like an angel.
? Elena’s POV ?
I dust my hands on my skirt after I finish taking out the trash. Just when I turned around, my face meets with a wall. I almost lost my balance, but the wall saved me from falling.
Wait… Walls don’t have hands.
I raised my head and meets with a sinister smile.
“Hello”
