I picked up my phone to call, "hello?""yeah, where are you?""I'm at the south road side, by the weird sign board""ok, I'm on my way, be with you in a sec""thanks Tates". Tates and I go along way, from when I was 5 and she was 10, initially she was supposed to be my personal maid, until and incident. When I was done playing one evening, she told me to wait as she went to bring my house slippers. I wanted extra play time so I went to the stable, and saw a horse....long story short I got kicked in the stomach and flung in bush. Mother for angry, though I wasn't really hurt, just some bruises. So mom kicked her from the palace, with nowhere to run to. When I was old enough to have my own bank account, which was 13, I traced her and got her a better house and as well more money to build one for me, Incase of times like this. I knew this would happen cause this isnt my first time running away from home. Though this is my first authentic run away.
A green BMW parked in front of me as the windows slowly wound down, a smiley face slowly showed, "you coming or what" "oh I am" I ran to the other side and went to the passenger seat at front. The journey was quiet. We finally arrived to the house. It was very average, perfect.
"Once again thank you so much Tates""no problem if you need any help I'm next door my family and---""family?""yeah, i got married three years ago""and you didnt send me an invite?""i did""huh?""i did i sent rhe whoke Brindon palace an invite""buh...I didnt get one..why didnt i.....mom!!that witch!""hey! She's still your mom""no, she ended the moment she regretted my birth""she what?""never mind I have a lot of Unpacking to do""ok, if you say so..bye".
I look around me everything I ever needed in an average perfect home was here. I jumped on the couch and turned on the TV, back home mom never let us have TV she said it makes us (me) more rotten than we (I) already are(am). So she gave the TV we had to the needy, who probably sold it for food.
All the movie channels where boring so I moved to a news channel.
"Breaking news, Brindon kingdom is missing a princess,yeah you heard and a cash price has been set for whoever could find her; $1,000,000,000.00 to who ever. Everyone is in search of this priceless princess. Why don't we hear a comment from the queen", "Milah, I know you're out there somewhere, please come home, I know I said some hurtful words to you today, but please I miss you just come home" "let's hear from her brother" "I don't have much to say, but Milah just come home, the kingdom misses you, your family misses you, 'I' miss you", "Awwwwn,aint that sweet? You all hear crowd, find Milah, just for $1,000,000,000.00".
I felt disgusted, why does it look like some family commercial and I'm being advertised for just one billion dollars, how dare they put a price on me, plus 'I' can act better
*mimicks* 'I' miss you
Ugh!!! Scam. I brought out my phone and turned on the Internet, suddenly adverts popped up. Weird ones like, "finding Milah", "run away princess" while swiping through the shit, one caught my attention, a video of me. I clicked on it. It was me walking out on the crown prince, who is..wel King now.After the video another clip followed the King was on his seat, Milah, i know you are watching this video, you know what you did , you know that no man can go unpunished, so i personally will find you. From the king to all peasants,I offer to you house in a royal estate, a car with your personal driver, insurance and as well school insurance for your children or you so that you never have to pay. This goes a long with a dinner with the king. Only if you bring her alive to me. I give you all 14days. I want this princess around before her brothers coronation, goodbye."
Damn, this is serious. I immediately got a knock on my door. So fast? How did they find me so fast. I looked through the peep hole, it was just Allen. Allen!?!!?! What was he doing here? I opened the door, "hello, your magesty. I hope your doing fine" "huh?" "Turns out your my next door neighbor"" ok could you please come inside and stop drawing attention to this place, your gonna attract peoole"" how?" "Well, for one you keep standing there shouting 'magesty' making my house look more suspicious " "ok, attention, suspicious? What's going on""I'm not gonna explain it to you, I already told all you need to hear , so end it there" "wait, are you talking about the princess shit? I told you already I can't believe that phoney" "ok don't believe me. You said you came to welcome your neighbor, so did you bring anything?""yeah, pizza""ok, good atleast i can eat before I'm caught and thrown into jail" "jail?" "What the....what don't you get are you an imbisile" i said pulling him in and shutting the door, "I'm a freaking princess, who ran away from home and now the whole damn UK is looking for me!!'' "and I'm lebron james older sister.... See I can't believe until you show me proof" I chuckled is this guy crazy!! Proof? "Proof? P...proof?" "Yeah" "ok_" I brought my phone out, and shoved the news in his face, "t..that's your face?" "Ya think!!!?" "....oh..your honest?" Honestly, I don't know why I trust to tell him who I am, but I need help if I want to hide here. I began to hear a crowd coming closer, so I locked the door and closed all the doors and window blind. One from the crowd said, "Allen? I know your with the princess, one of the villagers said they saw with a strange woman" I ran to my room and hide under the bed, so I watched through the window. The multitude that awaited my reveal was alarming. I wanted to cry there and then, it over. Then Allen open the door slowly, using his eyes to tell me to hide under the sheets. "Allen when did you start living here" "oh I moved, you know I can't keep living in that place forever" "or...your hiding the princess here" "the WHAT???!!? ha!! You got me there sir....wait...your serious? Oh c'mon, why would the princess come running here, in this small village? Really? And you ALL ran to my new house for THAT?? And for a moment I thought I had friends who came to congratulate me". There was momentarily silence. Then the doors swung open, "I knew it!! The sheets there a lady" the person got closer, I was panicking "Hey! No she naked!!! It's .. my girl.. friend. Yh, girlfriend " the whole crowd began to laugh after the brief silence. "Well, Allen you could have said it from the start. Well, let's go y'all, let's leave Allen to have fun". They finally left, I was flushed. At the sound of the door shut, I came out then sat up. I fel a hand on my shoulder, "you ok?" "Yeah, of course" "you sure you wanna keep this up " "..of course I do!!". I jumped off the bed and marched to the window, this is the life I've always wanted, I'm sick of always having my day planned for me, do this,do that, move here , don't go there, talk to her ,don't talk to him, MARRY him!!! It's annoying for God's sake, it's killing. So before they catch me eventually, I'll live my life here to the fullest.
"Hey!" "Yeah?" "I wanna go there" he stood up and stood beside me "where?" I pointed at the busy market "why would you want to go there" "it's small" "exactly!" " That's why I want to go there, the one of the only small things in my life, now let's go" i pulled him alk th way to the door, "hey, wait!!" "What?" "You wanna go like this?!?" I looked at the mirror, now I was wearing a tank top and some really short shorts "I can't?" "Unless you want cat calls...like with that kinda ass.." I threw him a sharp look " oh and don't you think it's necessary to at least let your hair down? It'll make you look more regular , oh and if you have, wear glasses, not shades..if you know what i mean?" Then I ran to my room to change and dia as he said. I wore baggy top and regular length shorts, then I went to him, " is this ok?" "Yeah, let's go".
We walked to the mini market, iq was so small and stinky and noisy. I was so excited I could buy the whole market!! I ran to this place where they sold smoke meat, then I bought four, I gave one to Allen, then I ran to a fruit shop and bought a lot of apples and grapes. Then I spotted a shop where a guy cooked and served food and was about to run there when I was restricted. "You know, it's not healthy to eat from there""fuck it, it's food!!" I released my hand from his not so tight grip. I bought a lot of thing, fried chicken, chips and other stuffs, then i got icecream. After everything Allen and I went home.
"So how do you feel?" "Amazing, I never want to leave!" "That's not allowed" "why?" "Cause your the next queen of the country" "nope, that can only happen if I'm married to the king, and that can only happen if the king didnt probably want me dead" "what exactly did you do?" "It's all over th news, check it!" He pulled out his phone and watched the video"you walked out on THE king??!!?" "Newly..made king" "who cares!?? He own the country!" "Owns?" "Yeah, all of you royalty owns this country, you do whatever you want, whenever you want to who ever you want" "dont, personalize that, its not all of us, i dont even know how to do paper work, my 18years of fancy school is wasted!".
****************************
A week had gone by, Allen moved in and we became really close. Then one day he walked to me while I was eating one of his amazing dishes, did I mention he was a great cook. "Hey, Milah" "yeah?" "I'm going to work tomorrow" "oh, can I come!!" No" "why?" "It's hunting" "oh, that reminds me, what makes your hunting so special? "Well, for one I'm monitored by palace guards,and two, there's a special training and oath taking.." "oh, the guards" "exactly, so I'd be back home late, so open the door for no one" "yh yh, what do I look like snow white?".
I began to think, it's just 8days left to my brother's coronation and the police force has probably increased, it's cute how they haven't found me. I walked to the kitchen, there was a note on the refrigerator, "Milah, I'd be back really late, so I made Enough food for a day, do not eat it all at once or you'd have a stomach ache", I smiled, then I opened the fridge. It was all the food I loved so much, chicken nuggets, meat soup, fish noodles, sea food and variety meat soup. I brought it all out. It won't be bad if I warmed it all up so it's not too cold in the afternoon. After microwaving it all, I decided to start with the nuggets, while eating that I wandered, how will it taste if put the nuggets in the meat soup, it'll be chicken meat soup, in less than 10minutes the chicken meat soup was gone. It was too fast that I was still hungry. Then I remembered a tiktok video I saw that said noodles belongs in soup, so...I put the noodles in the variety meat soup. This guy's meats heavenly, it's like he spent his kife learning how to butcher and prepare meat, in about 10minutes the food as all gone. You know what I'd just make another one later. I dumped all the dirty dishes in the dish washer. Allen lied to me my stomach feels perfectly fine. When the dishes where clean I washed it and kept it properly.
I wanted to walk back to my room but my legs failed me, it was like my leg had lost connection with my brain cause no matter how hard I tried to move it didn't work. So I laid on the floor and crawled to my room. When I got to my room, I almost felt sick, my stomach felt like a hurricane. This was bad, I rushed to the toilet and dia the worst type of number two you could ever imagine. That wasn't even th worse part, the worse part was that this happened 5 more times. When I was on I stared at my self in the mirror, I was a mess, what had i done, i jumped on my bed and slept. When I woke up, it felt like day break but it was just 2AM. It was late, buh that's not what mattered, at mattered was that I was hungry again. I went to thq kitchen and opened the fridge, it was just raw cut meat and veggies. Oh I forgot, I finished the food. Ok, I guess I'd make another one , what's so hard in making chicken soup. I brought out piece of chicken breast that wasn't cut well yet and some veggies. Then I brought a knife, how to do they handle these stuffs again. I finally got the right position to hold a knife. Buh the confusing thing now was that do I cut them wash or wash them cut. I tried cutting as slow as possible, before I started cutting I put the oil on fire so I could fry the sliced chicken. I continued cutting when the knife sliced my finger, I jumped in pain accidentally throwing the meat in the oil, i guess the oil was too hot cause it began splashing everywhere. I immediately started running with my eyes closed and my hands in the air, I accidentally bumoed into somone, what if it was a robber, i began to throw my hands in a frenzy with my eyes still closed, the robber held my hands in the air, "p . please Mr robber, please don't kill me I was already about to die, so spare my life.." "Milah? What do you think your doing" "huh?" I opened my eyes to see a shocked Allen who was more shocked that I was. I turned back to look at what he was looking at, FUCK!! the kitchen was in fire!!!Allen ran to get the extinguisher and put the fire out. I stared in horror, "Milah!!why in the world did you!!" "I..I did this?" "Huh?what the heck are you asking, yes you are!!!" "Allen, I burnt the food?" "Milah, are you ok?" I burst out crying "I just wanted to eat, but now the food and the kitchen is burnt, oil splashed on my and knife cut my hands, I should have just died as planned!" "Hey hey, it's ok" he hugged me as I cried more.
He helped me clean the kitchen and dress the wounds on my hands and legs. Then he handed me wipes to clean my face, "Are you ok?" "No!" He stared at me in confusion, then he just hugged like that was the only solution he had left to make me feel better, shocking, buh I later gave in. He then promised to teach me how to cook something the next day. I slept for long, wen I woke up it was 12pm, I ran to take my bath and dressed, then I ran to the kitchen, "I'm late! Have you gone to he market yet?" "Yeah" I was sad, I think he noticed cause he came and pulled me closer, "hey, look on the bright side we still have alot to learn".
He began to show me how to cut the veggies. Then when it was my turn he hea my hand and guided me, he bent forward to the point where his face was few inches away from mine. I could help but stare at his face, I noticed his grey eyes ,broad lips and nice jaw line, then i noticed the smirk that slowly grew on his face, i squeezed my face in confusion, "you don't have to stare at me that long" and got scared d accidently cut my self again, then yelped. I was bleeding, he held on my finger and putting in his MOUTH!!!!, I was shocked as he slowed sucked the blood and spat it out, then he rinsed my hand and out a bandage on it. Why didn't he just rinse it from the start?I swear I couldn't stop staring at him.
"Maybe I'll do the cutting from now on, let's get to the cooking part, pass me the salt" I ran to to cabinet, it was high so i was kinda stretching, my dumb finger pushed the salt more in instead of bringing it out. He moved to assist, feeling insulted I spoke, "HEY!! I can do it myself I'm not short!" Then I turned to continue my jumping, all of a sudden I felt a hand on my waist and my leg lifting up, I picked the salt, but part of me wanted to waste time ,cause well that part of me kinda like the feeling of his hands on my waist. I took the salt from my hands and left with a smirk on his face, is he teasing intentionally, my glare turned into a gaze this guy truly is a work of art He carried me to the top of he counter and leaned forward, then pulled me close and gazed into my eyes, then he whispered in my ears, "If you stared at me like that any longer I swear I wouldn't control myself", I moved back a bit, I swear I was speechless, I tried but couldn't stop staring, all I could finally utter was "w…wh… you have pretty eyes he smiled, " I warned you" then he pulled my face closer, slowly raising my chin up, I would feel his hot breadth on my mine, my heart now rushing, then he stopped, "You didn't flinch? You like me "huh?" then he turned to go, he truly was teasing me.
I so badly wanted to run to hm, grab his amazing face and just kiss him, he was heading to his rom then he threw the onion to me, "We'll continue later, I gotta take a bath I'm tired". What's wrong with me, what is this guy doing to me, Its like he's ontrolling my senses.
I wobbled to my room, then I dumped myself on the bed. I picked up my phone, it was just 6pm. I had been learning to cook for 7hours. It was like with him time flies, but now, time was back to its old pace, slow and steady. I turned off the lights, but my eyes where as wide as the sun, cause it could have gone off. I hugged my blanket lighter then I rolled over the moment I closed my eyes all I saw was the scene, with romance pulled in the air. I squeezed my eyes lighter and rolled again, and again. Then stood up to drink hot cocoa then I walked over to the kitchen counter, and started boiling the water, then I turned to the cupboard to bring out the stuffs then I pured the now hot water into the glass did the mixing and put marshmallows, at least one thing I could make myself, my grandma taught me. Then sat down and changed it down, Afterwards I sat down to wait for the effects. It didn't come, then I did what I watch in a wider, lay on the couch and do a buzz sound, I buzzed continuously, and then I realized what I needed.
I need that kiss. I jumped down the bed and stood in front of the visitor's room, I was about to knocked, but the how would I say it what do I say; do I just say, Hi Allien, yeah so I want you to kiss me; don't worry it's just so my nerves and heart could calm down I finally gave up and turned to leave.
"Hey? You need anything?", I froze, my heart stopped, I felt like if I heard one more ounce of his sexy voice, I'd probably die.
I turned, and immediately turned back, he chuckled "what's wrong?" did he just ask me what's wrong, he's on a freaking waist towel that loosely tied he moved closer while I walked away. He held my hand and said, "You know, I really couldn't stop thinking about you this time my brain stopped, I had nothing to say, I just turned slowly and stared at his eyes refusing to look in I back down, "Milah,…" he pulled me closer, I starred into his eyes deeper, I could see the sparkly part of his eyes, I also saw something I did want to see, 'lust', I saw lust in his eyes,: and those looks, melted me, he stepped closer leaving just a centimeter space between us, "I taught I warned you not to look at me like that', then I looked down, he pulled my chin up, "don't stop now, I'm already lost in your ocean eyes "thin he leaned in, before he could try to run again, I moved for wind and kissed him.
He was shocked at first then smirked, then leaned in and continued, before you know it my hands were going crazy through his hair and his hands on my waist. This motion hand were driving me crazy, I loved his touch, each sensation woke new feeling inside me.
His kisses left my lips and began to trace its way to my nec"k, and then lower, before he could go further he got a call, he stood up, then he went outside to pick the call, what the fuck just happended, what was wrong with me.
I wasn't satisfied with just that, this guy is truing me to a madman. I stood as well, he's towel have to finish what you started".
The next day, I was awoken by the light rays in my eyes, and a little deep whisper in my ear, "You look cuter when you're asleep I finally woke up, I wanted to run what the fuck did I do, I open the blankets to check, thankfully, I had vest and shorts on. His huge arms wrapped like a blanket, "Hey, you're not allowed to run away, you have to pay for your offence" I sat up and starred at him, he gave this cute sweet gaze, that all the anger I was about rush on him melted, that I said gently, "what offense?" I smirked and sat up as well, leaning closer to me, "Making me fall for you". "No" "huh?" "You", your you can't do that", "do what" I don't why but I didn't want to accept this relationship, "We can't fall for each other," "Why" "cause_______ we we can't, it won't work", "Milah, your confusing me", this time his gaze was turng to pleading eyes, it was like he was begging me to love him back, but I couldn't it won't work I'll cause trouble for him, guards looks for me, and if they find out we even kissed, he's might die, I can't let him die.
"Allen, our love, would be forbidden". He slightly chuckled, "Our 'love would be magical, Picture this, you and I together forever, running away from or cat whatever you want, being with you is heaven," " I would give anything to live such life with ou its not possible , not happening ", " Ok, alright, I've heard Oh by the way I'll be hunting today, I won't be back till 3days time," "Oh---" I was sad, I wanted him to stay, I don't know what I want anymore, "they, why are you so sad, its just 3 days" he gave a peck in the chick, and then on my forehead. Then he left.
