Chereads / I Love You, Prince (English) / Chapter 7 - Stunned

Chapter 7 - Stunned

Alesha stood still for a few moments then back to her sense.

"P....prince, what are you doing here?!" asked her, trying to hide her nerve.

Hearing Alesha stammered, convinced George that she was stalking him. How desperate, he thought angrily.

"I should be the one asking, why did you follow me? You didn't even heed my warning, huh..!?"

"What..? what do you mean by following? For your information I'm a student at this university thus I have no idea what you are talking about." Alesha managed to explain.

"You even become a student on this campus? Wow, you never gave up easily." George said with a smirk in his mouth as he walked towards the girl.

Seeing the prince approaching, Alesha swallowed her saliva. Her sweet face turned pale instantly.

"Prince, I do not understand what you mean." She said trying to convince him, her eyes began to tear up.

George stooped his step, his brow furrowed. For a moment, the sharp intimidating gaze turned soft as those beautiful, innocently round eyes begin to pull out the crystal beads that wet her cheeks, making his heart suddenly restless.

He wanted to embrace her and gave peace of mind so those pretty eyes would never cry anymore because it bothered him so much. He continued walking and stooped right in front of the girl.

"This is the last warning for you, never show yourself to me ever again, or you gonna regret it." He said coldly then passed.

Receiving such a heartless treatment twice, her chest began to rumble, her ego rebelled, her pride was taken away and thrown into an endless abyss. She felt her blood boiling and could explode at any moment. Once she was treated like that, it might still be forgivable, but this time that weird prince had to know who he was dealing with.

Alesha was not easily bullied, she had a strong yet gentle character. Her wealth and high-level status in society, made her grow to be a girl who respected her self esteem. When it was taken away, she would fight for it even with the king.

"Your majesty Prince George..!" George stopped his step and turned directly to the sound.

"I apologize if my utterance would make you wrath. First of all, I want you to know that I'm not your crazy stalker like your accusation, and I have nothing to do with that. I'm a student here! I have no idea why did you always think that way despite I have told you that I know nothing!

I always thought that a prince who would be a king one day and certainly be a role model for all the people would always be wise and critical in dealing with everything. But the prince who is standing in front of me right now was nothing more than an asshole who know nothing about how to behave properly as a good leader. I apologize once again, I just cannot accept the charge I never made." She said fluently, poured out her courage. She didn't care what would happen next, all she knew was she wouldn't let anyone step on her pride.

In fact, Alesha was so aware that her saying would humiliate and ashamed the prince. It was certain that the lightest punishment was imprisonment and she began to feel afraid.

Hearing that, George was speechless. His expression was flat, he didn't even flinch. He stared at her without blinking. His heart was amazed and fascinated. He couldn't believe there was a brave girl like her on this earth and it made him felt her charm. Those innocent beautiful eyes turned to be an eagle's sharp eyes.

That beautiful girl's courage in front of his had driven him crazy to possess her. Meanwhile, the bodyguard that was headed towards them was given his signal to stay in place. Then he turned and left Alesha without a word.

"Make sure this incident doesn't come out and smell the media." He ordered one of his bodyguards, before getting into the car and dashing away.

Meanwhile, Alesha who was standing still seemed bewildered by the prince's seemingly unremarkable response, she had no idea how much impact her statement on George's heart. She looked around, making sure no one witnessed the incident then walked away leaving that place.

A week passed, Alesha seemed to be enjoying her food and talking to Bela, her classmate. She was the girl who often helped her out whenever Alesha needed anything. Bela was from Texas but she had been in London with her family for two years. She was so kind and generous, that's why Alesha liked her so much, Bela was also beautiful with her natural red hair.

"I hope you girls don't mind if I sit here." A hoarse voice suddenly heard, they both turned simultaneously towards the source of the voice. Alesha who knew that voice from that annoying man who disturbed her a few times ago was simply being nonchalant. Unlike Bela who was already gaping at the sight of the charming creature in front of her.

She was so grateful to be able to attend the college because she could enjoy freely seeing the beautiful faces of the two breathtaking princes who studied at the same college. Alesha who saw her exaggerated reaction only rolled her round eyes in embarrassment and let out a deep sigh, while Bella just giggled.

Without waiting for a response of the two, that man then sat down.

"Maybe you don't understand the difference between not being permitted by being ignored, huh?" Alesha started her attack.

"I've been allowed to sit here." Replied the man with a nice smile and pointed at Bella. Seeing that gesture, Bella nodded her head repeatedly in agreement.

Alesha seemed indifferent and continued eating her meal.

They enjoyed the meal in silence.

Now and then the man stole a glance at Alesha with a look full of interest. Realizing it, Bella got up from her place and pretended to go to the toilet. At first, Alesha prevented her from leaving, but because Bella looked like didn't take it anymore, she let her go.

After Bella left, the silence wasn't over. Alesha seemed to had lost her appetite for her food.

"Why don't you finish your meal?" the man asked, starting the conversation.

"I'm not interested anymore because you were here." She replied sarcastically.

"Come on girl, at least tell me your name. I just wanted to be a friend..!" the man insisted.

"But I won't be your friend..!" Alesha refused.

"Why? I also study here and will graduate a year later. I think we can be a good friend before I return to Egypt." He explained.

Hearing that, Alesha's eyes widened in disbelief at what she heard. Did he say Egypt?

"Did you come from Egypt?" Alesha asked him to convince herself.
