Danica
Okay….I admit. The prince’s actually acting cranky and he’s making me so nervous.

I saw him bring a phone out of his pocket, he turned away and appeared it and I wondered what he was doing. Isn’t he interested in the practicals or what?

I cleared my throat and tried my best to focus. I needed to handle it myself since I couldn’t question the prince or ask for his direct involvement.

After a while, he finished with his phone and slipped it into his trouser pocket, then came forward to meet me.

“Almost done?” He asked, placing his hands on the table.

G©sh! He had a glittering ring there.

“N…Not yet,,my prince” I replied as I turned the chemical from the tube.

“Uh….could you…help out with the readings, please?” I said politely as I reached for my book and pen.
I didn’t want it in anyway to look like I was ordering the prince around.

“Yeah…of course”, he mumbled and held the pipe.

“Okay. Um…what is the first reading?” I asked, my eyes focused on my book and ready to write.

“Well….I think we have 15.3” he replied, straining his eyes to look properly at the digits.

“Okay…. And that is….15.30”, I penned it down.

“Thank you, sir. What’s the second reading, please?” I asked, biting my lower lip.

“Its….21.3”, he replied, his eyes focused keenly on the figures.

“Okay..we’ll leave that at 21.50″ I penned it down as well….”

We took the final reading and then, we were done.

“Okay, sir. I think this is it” I pinned my lips as I added a little note in my book.
“That’s all?” He asked, sounding like it was too easy.

“Yes, sir. That’s all we have to do for today. Tomorrow, we’ll sum up the values and run another titration, then on the third day, hopefully, we should have the right results” I replied, pretending to be writing in my book so I don’t have to look at him.

“So…what happens if the results are wrong?” He asked.

“Then…that means everything we’ve done for three days was all in vain” I shrugged and this time around, I looked at him.

Oh geez! He was staring back at me.

He turned around and lifted his mug, drinking from it.

“Okay then. We should call it a day”, he said, still backing me.

“Um…what time should I come around tomorrow, my Prince?” I asked, so glad he was backing me.

I couldn’t have him staring at me like that.
“That’s all?” He asked, sounding like it was too easy.

“Yes, sir. That’s all we have to do for today. Tomorrow, we’ll sum up the values and run another titration, then on the third day, hopefully, we should have the right results” I replied, pretending to be writing in my book so I don’t have to look at him.

“Um…what time should I come around tomorrow, my Prince?” I asked, so glad he was backing me.

I couldn’t have him staring at me like that.

“6” he replied and I arched my brows.
Huh?

“6 a.m?” I puzzled.

“P.m” he drank from the mug again.

Woah!! Then, when would I leave here? That’d be too late.

“But…my prince, why not day time?” I asked, trying as much as possible to be polite.

“I’ll be very very busy tomorrow, Danica and would only be home by 6. So, unfortunately, that’s the only time I can spare”,he explained.

Oh… Goodness.

I itched my front hair, tiredly. Urgh! This isn’t funny.

“O….okay, my prince. No problem with that”,I replied and started tidying the table.

In no time, I was done and all the kits were neat again.

“I’ll be on my way now, my prince”, I said as I reached for my bag.

“Bye”, he muttered without looking at me.

I bowed, anyway, before leaving.

I let out a deep sigh of relief as soon as I walked out the door.

Ah! Thank goodness! I couldn’t believe I almost had an heart attack.

I placed my hand on my chest as I walked away, going through the quiet hallway. I couldn’t explain how happy I was that I was finally leaving the prince, although a part of me felt sad that I was still leaving him.

Oh Danica! What’s wrong with me?

Taking a turn through the hallway, I found someone leaning on the wall, staring at my direction. His face was kinda hidden in the dark, but as I drew near, I discovered it was the prince – hah! Prince Eric!

Whaaat????

I froze and suddenly stopped walking as I didn’t expect to see him. He remained calm and just leaned on the wall, his hands in his trouser pocket.

“Please, Danica, come forward. I shouldn’t stop you”, he said with a smile and I gulped nervously and looked behind me, I couldn’t find anyone in sight.

There was only one way out of the hallway, and that was the path he was standing on. Oh my..

I clutched my bag tight and continued walking further.

“Good….Good day,,my prince”, I bowed in obeisance, even tho I was scared to the guts.

He didn’t respond and I swallowed hard and tried walking away, but he grabbed my wrist.

“I’ve been waiting for you, Danica” he grinned, his eyes so dark.

“My…My prince” I didn’t even know what to say.
I didn’t know how to wriggle my wrist from his, without looking like a fight.

“Relax, okay? I just want us to talk – for now”. He smiled.

Huh? What does he mean *for now*?

He let go of my wrist and crossed his arms.

“Some days ago, I sent my guards to get you in school”, he began and I lowered my eyes to the floor, knowing where the conversation was headed.

“But you rejected them and ran away. Why’s that?”

I bit my inner cheeks but couldn’t say anything. What could I possibly say? And why had he been calling for me?

“I hate it when people act quiet towards me, Danica” he tried touching my cheek, but I moved away.

“I’m…I’m sorry, my prince. But I….I mean, I’d explained it to your guards back then – the reason I couldn’t see you. I’m sorry”,

I was overly worried. Why did I have to bump into him huh?

He remained silent for a long time and when I looked at him, I noticed he was smiling.

“Well…” He adjusted from the wall.
“What I actually wanted to tell you…
Is something really simple”.

I stared into his eyes, curiously.
He moved so close to me, I had to move back as well. What’s he doing?

“I like you,,Danica”, he hushed.
“And I want you.

“20 pieces of silver – for just a night”. He lowered his lips and whispered into my ears.

“What do you think?”

Words couldn’t explain how shocked I was, hearing the prince saying that to me.

Whaaat????

I stared at him in shock and disbelief, unable to stomach it.

He…he wants me? Like…have s3x with me??

What in the name of God?

“I can’t believe you’re asking for this, my prince” I scoffed.

“You barely even know me. This is the first time you’re asking for this. Yet, you want to…..have sx with me?” I was overly shocked.

His face held a cold expression as he didn’t show any sign of remorse or whatsoever.

“Well….I’m sorry, but I can’t do this. I’m not a slut”. I didn’t know where the boldness had come from.
Maybe, recalling what Scott had done to me made me so mad when it comes to sx .

I tried walking away, but he got hold of my hand again.

“I always get what I want, Danica. ” he smirked,.
“You wouldn’t wanna chose the hard way”.

I didn’t say a word as I forcefully fred my hand from his and ran away.

As soon as I got out of the palace, I boarded a cab home, thinking angrily about what the prince had said to me.

How could he even think of something like that? Asking every lady he sees for intimacy?

And me…..
G©sh! Thinking of what that m©nster – Scott – had done to me, I couldn’t think of it. I couldn’t think of it. I made a promise to myself, I’d never have sx again, because all guys were m©nsters.

Yeah, monsters.

I tucked my hair behind my back and breathed heavily, trying as much as possible to calm myself.

After a long while, I got off the cabby and continued on my way, walking the rest of the distance.

A painful pain suddenly hit at me – right there, below my abdomen – and I winced.

Ah! What’s today’s date? Don’t tell me its time already,,please.

I grumbled and continued walking and getting close to the house, I found someone there – a young lady – smoking outside.

I stopped walking when I realized who the lady was.

Oh my God? It was mum.

She’s back!
