Nathan
I stared at the bracelet in my hand with disbelief. The bracelet – the final evidence I needed to clear my doubts.
What was it doing with her? Wasnt this enough proof? How possible she had a replica of the bracelet in her bag?
I stood up with it and continued staring Intently at it, unable to comprehend. Could she really be the one I’ve been looking for?
First, the long dark hair, then the walking steps,,her house being close to the woods, and now, this? The bracelet? What other proof do I need?
It was already raining and I felt she might be out at any second. So, I put the bracelet in her bag, alongside her other contents that fell. I kept the bag neatly on the table and went to sit on the bed.
Why would she hide herself from me? Why would she hide her identity from me, huh?
Every lady would die to be in her place. So, why was she acting differently? What could be wrong?
The door opened immediately and I turned to see her coming out, neatly changed now.
She took her lips into her mouth and looked nervous as she walked in, holding a polythene which probably contained her old clothes.
“T…Thank you, my prince – for the dress” she bowed when she got to where I was, but I didn’t say a word as I just stared at her flawless face. Why would she hide her identity from me? Why?
“You’re welcome”, I took in a deep breath and said, forcing my eyes away from her.
She looked obviously perplexed and didn’t know what to do.
Danica
“My prince, its late. I need to go” I told him after a little pause.
He was silent for a while before replying me.
“Its raining” he said simply and I looked out the window.
Why did it have to rain now? Why now?
Ugh!!
I fisted my hands and didn’t know what to do. Was I to sit? Or do what exactly? I felt so uncomfortable staying quietly in the room with the prince.
I finally took the seat in front of the table and tried s much as possible to avoid the prince’s stares. The rain seemed so heavy and I wondered if it was ever gonna stop.

20 minutes later

No!! . It was so late already and I needed to go – by every means possible.
I stood up and looked at the prince who had been operating his phone the whole time.
“My prince” I bowed.
“I really need to go now. My mum and grandma would be so worried about me. Please, permit me”.
For almost a minute, he didn’t say a word and finally, he stood up and started walking out of the room.
O….kay. Why the sudden cold treatment?
I took my bag an followed him out of the room anyway. And we walked down the hallway together.
We got to the big door and stood under the shade.
Oh boy! It was still raining heavily. How do I get a cab home?
I stood beside Prince Nathan,wondering exactly why he followed me.
“Um…my prince” I turned to him and bowed.
“I’ll…I’ll be on my way now”,,
“Wait”, he said when I was about running into the rain and I stopped to look at him.
Huh?
He unlocked his phone and seemed to go through his contacts and after a while, he dialed a line.
“Yes. Come over to the second business, quickly” he said over the phone and brought it down from his ear.
O..kay. I just hope he was trying to give me a ride.
Flashes from a car was seen and in few seconds, a red flashy car arrived.
“You can go to him. He’ll take you home” he said to me and I turned and looked at the car.
Oh. Thank goodness.
“Thank you, my prince. Um what time should I be here tomorrow?” I asked and he replied 2 p.m.”
I bowed and was about running away when he stopped me again.
“Danica”, he called and I stopped to look at him.
Oh! What could it be this time around?
“You do realize I’m looking for a lady right? A lady called -Dan?”
Whaaat???
My eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as soon as I heard that. What’s getting talking about?? I mean…why’s he telling me personally about it?
Oh my God.
“My….My prince?” I stuttered, not knowing what to say or do.
He huffed and took some steps back.
“You should hurry to the car. It’s late” he stated calmly.
Oh my God! What’s going on?
I stared at him in confusion, but he didn’t say any other word.
Slowly, I turned around and head to the car. I opened the back door and got in and as I did, I felt cold chills run down my spine.
The driver started the car and when I looked through the window, I found the prince staring at me.
