Chapter 3 - The life of a commoner

"*sigh* today I'm all alone the maids and butlers took a day off due to what happened yesterday, father and Diana travelled to France for a conference, James on the other hand has a charity programme and the girl we adopted yesterday, Sophia, well he took her with him, I feel like today is going to be a very boring day, I should go for a walk" said the Prince, he left the mansion with no money and left all the valuable jewellery home

"today normal life normal guy" said the prince nervously

The prince got to the public market it was very hard to pass but the prince made sure no one notices him until....

"OH MY GOD IT'S THE PRINCE" said a young lady

*chatters* and *chatters*...

with that the Prince got even more nervous he tried to run but the market was to crowdy then a woman suddenly popped out of nowhere

"my lord i'm sick please touch me" said the woman

"WHY!!?" said the Prince

"i'll feel better" said the woman

"God...i'm not Jesus" said the Prince "please i'm hungry"

"sorry got nothing with me" said the prince

the Prince wasn't expecting people to react like this, he who just wanted to relax but his expression changed when he saw Charlie through the crowd buying some fish, he immediately ran to her "hi...um..hey" said the Prince

"hi Gabriel" said Charlie

"i thought it was 'my lord' " said the prince "why?..you're not my boss now, i'm off duty you said it yourself"

"eur.....eum yeah yeah i said that didn't i" "why are you here i thought you had a conference in France"

"no i'm not going"

"why are you here then ?"

".....i...got bored"

"so you decided to walk in the public market"

"...no i came here to buy some fish"

the prince picks a random fish knowing he's POOR right now

"really cause that fish you're holding is mackerel"

"so?"

"you are allergic to mackerel 'my Lord' " "really?!"

Charlie removed the fish from his hands

"you see" said Charlie

"oh i see that's why my neck was itching" said the Prince

"c'mon let's go to my house i have treatment for that"

with that Charlie took the Prince with her, while charlie was opening the door of her apartment a question came to Gabriel's mind

"is this where you live?"

"yeah i live in one of these apartments" said Charlie happily

"so you live in....here?"

"yeah...i know it's tiny but it's only my mom and i so....make yourself at home i'm going to cook something" said Charlie with a smile

"this apartment is where you live...."

"YES YOU DUMBASS now seat" said Charlie totally furious

"[how am i supposed to make myself at home this is nothing like home]" the Prince said to himself

"eur...Charlie before cooking do you mind cleaning first"

"huh? come to think of it today is cleaning day [if i clean before mom comes back she'll be happy] yeah you're right" said Charlie

"good then i'll wait outside for you to finish" said the Prince while leaving

suddenly Charlie pulled him back

"if you leave this room you'll be on my menu tonight" said charlie with a murderous stare

"haaa fine imma stay but i don't know how to clean" said the Prince

"you think i didn't notice that your room is always clean when i come you hate living in dirt but since your family rely on us you decided to clean your own room" said Charlie with a serious face

"fine, you're so exasperating let's start now" said the Prince

charlie and the Prince started cleaning at first things went smoothly the Prince helped Charlie a lot until he got tired having her around because she wasn't cleaning properly then they started arguing "f*ck are you doing this on purpose? " said the Prince who was very angry

"no i'm not i'm just cleaning you know what i think you're the one ruining everything.. i know how to clean that's my thing you..are an obsessed cleaning maniac" yelled Charlie

Gabriel was about to answer her when suddenly the phone rang, it was Charlie's mom saying she won't come home tonight due to her night shift Charlie and Gabriel made a deal that involved Charlie cooking and Gabriel finishing the cleaning

8:01 PM and Charlie is still cooking and Gabriel is taking a bath

8:35 PM Gabriel got out of the bathroom and realises that Charlie is still cooking "hey WTF are you doin' i'm hungry" shouted Gabriel

"put something on please speaking of which my friends are coming over so compose yourself" said Charlie

"WHAT!!!.. I DO NOT APPROVE OF THE IDEA OF BEING WITH OTHER COMMONERS" shouted Gabriel

"I do not care this is not your house" said Charlie

"I'M YOUR BOSS" shouted Gabriel

"YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE MY BOSS IN MY OWN HOUSE" shouted Charlie

The atmosphere was tensed Gabriel did not know what to say suddenly the bell rang, Charlie's expression changed she smiled asking Gabriel to open the door, Gabriel on the other hand was very pissed he prayed for it not to be Charlie's friends but to his horror it was indeed Charlie's friends

"come in" said Gabriel with a disappointed tone

"oh my god it's the Prince" said one of Charlie's friends (Peter)

"urgh people....just seat" said Gabriel

"the food is ready" said charlie with a huge smile on her face

"um delicious" said one of Charlie's friends (Arlene)

"it's better than what you cook at home" said Charlie

"I gotta ask are you guys dating" said one of Charlie's friends ( Sacha)

"shut up" said the Gabriel

with that Charlie pinched him

"OW!!" shouted Gabriel

The atmosphere was very awkward. Charlie's friends had plans but they weren't expecting the Prince to be there no one had the gut to talk but one guy broke the code

"let's play a game" said one of Charlie's friends (Thomas)

a few moments later

" I have a question before we start the game" said Thomas

"we've started the game" said Peter

"not gonna lie it's a little embarrassing but it's important" said Thomas

"you have-....you have 5 points why did you think we haven't started the game" said Peter

"what is it Thomas" said Gabriel

"is it catANN or catON" said Thomas

Gabriel:caton ; Charlie: catann *Charlie and Gabriel pronouncing it differently*

"that- the jury's out on that one" said Charlie

"it just-..It doesn't matter whose turn it is" said Gabriel

"I think that's me" said one of Charlie's friends (Alfred) he continues, saying "uh does anybody have a sheep"

"I don't have a sheep but I have a turtle" said Thomas

"there are no turtles Thomas" said sacha

"explain this then" said Thomas

"that is ore....that's a rock" said sacha

"this is so much fun" said Charlie while crying

"nobody has a sheep" said Alfred

"I'll give you wheat, wheat for sheep" he continued

"I have an ore and a turtle" said thomas

"THERE ARE NO TURTLES THOMAS!!! AAAAHHH!!!" said Peter

"nobody? ๐Ÿ˜Š , alright I'm going to give you one more chance, and then it's all going to be over for all of you" said Alfred

hearing that Gabriel is confused and frightened

"I can't trade my sheep cause I need it to build my own thing" said Arlene

"how about this Arlene-...are you with me" said Alfred

Arlene nodded excitedly

"I will give you all of my wheat for one of your sheep" said Alfred

"how many wheats do you have" said Arlene

"is the plural of wheat wheats or wheat" said Thomas

Charlie: wheats ; Gabriel: wheat *Charlie and Gabriel pronouncing it differently*

"Charlie" said Gabriel

"Charlie" said Charlie imitating Gabriel's voice

"I have eight wheat" said Alfred

*everyone gasp*

"eight wheat for one measly sheep Arlene ....what do you say?" said Alfred

after some time of reflection Arlene finally agreed

"yes" said Arlene

good job

good trade

good trade

"that was a dumb idea I'm quite disappointed in you" said Gabriel

"just you wait...i'm gonna play monopoly on all the wheat" said Alfred

*everyone gasp*

"all your wheat.....hand it over" said Alfred

"that's not fair"said Arlene

"that's how the game goes i'm afraid" said Alfred

*laughing* "oh my God biggest plot twist.....oh my God this is a memory we should all cherish" said Gabriel

"can I break down all my settlements to turn them back into the resources they came from??" said Arlene

"NO-" said Gabriel

"I don't have wheat, just hay" said Thomas

"split my resources amongst you I can not play this game anymore" said Gabriel while living

*few moments later*

"this is a pretty boring sleepover" said Peter

"mhm" said Gabriel

"should have brought a puzzle"..."I love puzzles" said Peter

"I'm sure you do" said Gabriel

"we could play a fun game.." said Peter

everyone stay quiet to listen to what he has to say

"...like never have I ever..." said Peter

....

"...never have I ever kissed a noble man" said Peter

"shut up "said Charlie ; "I'm not playing that game with you" said Gabriel

....

"Peter-" said Gabriel

"yeah what's up" said Peter

"why are you going up??" asked Gabriel

"oh my Lord you don't know the song..so when you take a bottle you add a number and the song just it like goes forever" said Peter

"I'm pretty sure you take a bottle and then there's one less bottle" said Gabriel

while Peter is looking at him confused "humm"
