She only had one person on her mind, and he was all she could think about. She yearned to to see her beloved Roberto again. Elli longed to feel his warm embrace and soft lips gently upon hers. She hoped that day would come soon.

Often being held up with his royal duties, Roberto rarely had much time to spend with her. As a result, she often felt lonely and missed him greatly.

When they do finally get time alone, neither wanted to waste a second as they treasured that precious time dearly.

Sometimes, she still has trouble believing that her, of all people, was in a relationship with a prince.

Elli sat on her bed, her chestnut brown hair gracefully swept over her face. Her clear blue eyes sparkled as she quietly stared out her bedroom window and watched as the birds elegantly flew about outside. On her face, a shadow of loneliness had made itself visible.

University holidays had just started ;she wanted to spend this time with him.

Elli gave out a small sigh, she turned to look at her phone. Having spent all day thinking of him, she hoped that he will call her to come to the Villa. So far, her phone has remained dead silent.

Time carried on slowly; she felt like this day would never finish. Finally, the sky glowed a crimson red, and the sight signaled the coming end of another day.

Although she did not feel like moving, she forced herself to get off the bed to start making dinner. Elli checked through the contents of her fridge and pantry; she decided she would make a pasta because she didn't have an appetite.

Elli set the water to boil on the stove, and she got everything prepared for her dinner. Before long, the water had boiled and she started simmering the pasta.

Everything was going smoothly, and the cooking seemed like it would be ready soon when all of a sudden she heard her ringtone. She raced to her room to answer the phone. Seeing the name on the display screen, she beamed excitedly.

Elli saw it was the person who has been on her mind all day - Roberto, the man she loved and missed so dearly. She hurried to answer the phone.

"Hello, Roberto!" she almost shouted in the phone out of excitement.

"Elli! I'm so glad to get the chance to talk to you! I have missed you so much."

Roberto sounded just as excited and happy to finally be able to speak to her. They spent their time chatting casually, and they caught up on each other's lives.

Eventually, Roberto finally asked her to come stay at the villa for awhile as he can't bare to be away from her for another second.

"I'm sorry it's on such short notice and I know its very late, but I do hope you will come to the villa right now. I can get Al to pick you up right away. You will come right..?"

He was practically begging her to come. She went speechless thinking about it. She can finally get to be with him after so long apart, and the biggest grin formed on her face. Elli seemed to be off in another world, but her name being called from the phone snapped her out of the trance.

"Oh... sorry... Of course, I would love to come!"

Elli was still in a daze, and she felt happy and excited. Suddenly, Elli saw smoke coming into her room before she realized the smoke alarm had gone off. A loud screeching sound echoed throughout her appartmemt.

Having yet to end the call with Roberto, he heard it through the phone. Concerned, Roberto yelled out and asked her what happened and if she was alright.

Elli quickly dashed to the kitchen. Luckily there was no fire, just incinerated pasta. Giving out a sigh, she looks at the burnt dish. There goes tonight's dinner. Elli then remembered she left Roberto hanging on the end of the phone, and she heard his cries.

"I'm alright, Roberto. Though, it seems I just burnt my dinner..."

She started thinking about what else she could cook that would be light and easy to make, but Roberto had other plans.

"Oh... It's my fault. I'm sorry.." he apologized.

Roberto knew that it was his phone call that caused it to happen.

"How about you come have dinner here? We have yet to eat, so it's perfect. I'll inform Al to tell the chefs right away."

"It's not your fault!" she insisted. "I just got distracted. I would love to join you for dinner."

"Great, I will get Al to come pick you up immediately. See you soon."

Finally, they end their call after the two said goodbye to each other.

She was now in high spirits, eager to finally see him again and feel his warmth. Not caring about burnt pasta anymore, she only cared about seeing him. The feelings of loneliness Elli felt earlier that day were all washed away with that phone call.
