I opened my eyes to welcome a vision of Aladdin sitting against the wall with a icy glare towards me. I felt a shiver up my spine as I sat up slowly. His eyes shifted to my bare thighs for a split second before he closed his eyes and laid his head against the wall.

"Had a nice night out of the palace princess?" He asked darkly. I froze, but shook my head cursing at myself for the thousandth time. I crawled over to kneel in front of him.

"How did you find out?" I asked him lightly. I felt myself become heavy with sadness. I didn't know why it hurt me to see him hurt.

"The guards are in frenzy. I just asked a couple of questions and you fit in perfectly. But why?" he asked his own question. I tilted my head confused. He opened his eyes, surprised at my closeness. I was almost in his lap.

"Why, what?" I asked oblivious about how my position. He gulped before answering, he forced himself to look away from me.

"Why did you leave such a luxurious life?" he asked once more. I sagged as I sat next him.

"You wouldn't understand." I explained tired.

"Then make me understand." He commanded. I bit my lip before resting my head back.

"I just couldn't take the orders and the abuse. I'm either being yelled what to do or being beaten by Jafar for refusing each suitor. Then there are the annoying and perverted suitors that feel the need to touch me." I gushed out. He stayed still.

"You can't run forever." He told me silently.

"I'm happy for getting yesterday." I told truthfully. He smiled.

"I know what I could do." He exclaimed as he got and hauled me up along with him, he stopped for a second as we connected with each other. Our bodies pressed against each other intimately. I felt my self relax against him as he traces a finger up my arm lightly.

"Would you like some wine and fruit to celebrate your escape?" He asked softly as I felt myself hold his arms so he was closer to me.

"That sounds wonderful." I answered hollowly. I blinked twice to take control of myself again and pull away from him slowly. He looked in my eyes so seriously I felt my soul start to burn.

"I'll be back in a bit. I want you..." He trailed off for a second as he continued our starring contest. I was the first to look away as I felt my cheeks redden. He swallowed before continuing. "I want you to rest your arm. It's actually better than I thought, by tonight it should be able to hold better." He informed me as he walked towards the entrance. "Be careful." I whispered before walking out.

I plopped down on the cot and lay down as I thought about how I was to live like this. Clearly my hair was a dead give away. I sat up and slowly undid my hair and let it flow freely before I put it up in a loose bun, with some hair loose. I looked down at my outfit and I grunted as I decided to keep it, it look perfect for a girl like me to wear. I could tell it was for women that entertained many gentleman guests.

I laid back and then thought of my future if I stayed this way. Of course I'll be here for awhile before I find some means of a job. I could dance; it's a requirement for royal women to dance for other royal guests. I thought of then what I wanted with my life. I knew I wanted a family, husband and children. But could I keep my children from my father? My thoughts were interrupted as Aladdin entered the room. He smiled at me as he lifted the win and grapes that he held.

"I know what you're thinking and yes, I really am that good." He replied before I could even speak I smiled as he sat next to me and handed me a grape I smiled and ate it.

"You're just the greatest." I joked as he lay down beside me.

"Tell me this." He asked before popping another grape in his mouth. "How do you think you'll get away with it?" He asked. I sighed.

"Well I figured, by the time I get out of here, I'll cut my hair."

"No." He cut me off. I turned to him questioningly.

"Your hair is too beautiful to cut. You'll get away with the bun." He told me not bothering to look at me.

"Well I could be a dancer." I offered.

"Nope."

"And why not?" I retorted.

"Men will take advantage of you." He replied as he sat up and popped open the wine handing it to me. I stuck out my tongue at him before chugging a good amount. He snatched it out of my hand quickly.

"This is very strong. Be careful." He warned me. I smiled as I felt myself heat up.

"Hey I thought this was a celebration." I replied as I lay back down. He rolled his eyes head as he lay down too.

"Stay here as long as you can." He whispered quietly. I mumbled something like a yes.

"I just," I spoke with a crack as I felt sobs form in my throat, "I just can't go back." I whispered as tears found me. I felt him take hold of my hand and pull me closer to him so he could wrap his arms around me. My tears stopped as soon as they started.

"I'll help you any way I can. I will." He told me as he handed me another grape.

"I think I can help you get money." I told him as a thought occurred to me.

"How?" He asked simply as he unconsciously lace my back with his finger.

"We could con people." I told him as I put more pieces together, but failing since I was distracted by his finger.

"How?" he asked once more.

"I could distract men while you act like your one of them and just pocket their money. I've seen people steal from my bedroom window." I explained as my voiced trailed as I felt myself drift asleep.

"I'll need a weapon incase. I'm use to running, but since you don't know the streets too much, I'll have to keep you from harm." He told me as he put down a mental check list. I mumbled incoherently as I fell asleep.

I woke once more at sundown. I went to get up but I saw I was held back by Aladdin's hand o my back. I blushed as I found myself sprawled across his chest. I froze as I tried to figure my way out of it. Of course he stirred right as I was trying to climb over him. Of course he woke up with my breasts being his first sight. I felt him freeze under me.

"I'm trying to get up." I explained to him as I crawled back to my old place. He yawned and lifted his arms.

"Sorry." He said as he sat up. I looked at him and laughed at his messy hair. He combed his hands through it trying to fix it.

"Thanks." I whispered as I laid back down. "For letting me stay here and all." I explained. He shook his head.

"I'm having fun, aren't you?" He asked. I rolled my eyes as I got up and reached for a grape.

"Tomorrow we'll try out my con thing, okay?" I asked as I leaned against the wall, he joined me.

"I'll get a sword right now." He informed me as he got up. I grabbed his pants before he could too far.

"Be careful." I whispered, trying to find something to say to keep him in my sights for a little bit longer. He smiled secretly as he nodded and walked out. I was yet again left to wallow in my own thoughts.
