It felt like days before I was woken. Sleeping beauty in real life. Those words before I blacked out was being repeated in my head over and over again. For one, the stranger said lady, if he knew me he would realise I am more like a tomboy most of the time and girly when I go out like tonight. And secondly, I wanted to be awake to see the man who helped me and also to see if they're safe after the commotion.
I hear my name being repeated from a familiar voice, but my head was all over the place, I couldn't remember who it was. I think it is Hanna, but at this moment, I couldn't exactly tell. My eyes fluttered open and both my back and head were throbbing. I must of hit the ground harder than I thought. Eventually, my eyes opened and I felt nothing but relief when I saw that it was Hanna saying my name. I then felt a hand behind my head, slowly lifting it up, but not enough to feel any pain at the back of my neck or head. I looked up and saw who's hand it was.
"Hi, I'm Harry" he said, with his very thick British accent. A smile crept onto his face, as he took my hand and slowly helped the rest of my up to be more comfortable.
"Annie" I replied, grunting with the sensation of pain I felt through my back and calves. I looked at Hanna who was mouthing "are you okay". I nodded as I made my way to my feet.
"I could do with a drink though" I managed to say before I felt a slight crack in my back because I stood up. Hanna quickly left to get me one as the crowd around me split and went their separate ways. It took me a couple of seconds to realise who I was actually face to face with right now.
"So Harry, prince of wales" I said, taking a seat at the bar, "I didn't think you would be out on a Friday, in fact, I didn't think nightclubs were your type of scene."
"Yes, well normally not. You see, I am here with William for my birthday and I figured, why not have a change. I'm sure you know my type of parties are pool parties in Vegas".
My eyes widened at this point, as if to say I agree with you Harry, just as he began speaking again, Hanna returned with my drink.
"thanks Han, hey this is prince H" I quietly said to her, her mouth opened wide and looked as if she was going to go all fangirl on him. introducing him like that so both his name is not said and trying to be, at least, a little covert.
"No Han, please don't say anything, even though everyone knows him, we are trying not to attract too much attention" I carried on making a quiet symbol on my lips, the music was loud and she was slightly drunk. Even in her state, she nodded and went on the dance floor.
"So, where were we?" I asked. I must admit, at this point, I too was slightly drunk.
"I was explaining about my pool party situation and how nightclubs aren't usually my thing, but moving on from that subject. I came here to unwind and have fun for a change, rather than all these royal engagements I need to go to. I must apologise for my behaviour back there, I should have at least tried to move you out of the way of that man and me, please accept my apology?" he gave my puppy dog eyes, I nodded and explained who that man was and why we didn't exactly like each other. He nodded and, again, apologised for bringing that subject up.
We both got talking about ourselves, how old we were, funny stories about each other and also, what I did for a living and he did in his spare time. I found out he was in the army, serving for his country and also did not attend university. He told me stories about his mum, princess Diana, but did not go into detail as it is a touchy subject for him.
"Harry my boy, it is time to goooooo….. hey I'm Will" Prince William came over, drunk, and smiled at me and Harry, offering his hand to shake mine. Hanna closely followed, still dancing and much drunker than she was the last time I saw her which was approximately 15 minutes ago.
"Annie!" she exclaimed "Look who I found", she followed on saying, looking so proud of herself. whilst making pointing gestures at him and mouthing his name. Yeah, she definitely won't remember that in the morning.
"Yes, I can see that" I laughed and looked at Harry, shaking my head.
"Anyway, I'll see you Annie" Harry said as he got up and left.
"Bye" I said, as if I was in a dream, I called out for him as he left my number on the counter of the bar on a little piece of handkerchief which I wrote on earlier in the night for him. I guess that was my chance and now, both my dream man and my dream of a date with him, have gone.
