Hi everyone!

Chapter19_Find Me

"This is nice, isn't it?" Beck sighed and turned to look at Eleanor who was deep in thought. He called her name and she looked at him puzzled. Beck asked with a concerned smile: "What's going on? Didn't you want to come here?" Eleanor looked back at the ocean and nodded. She always loved Monaco. But of course, Jasper was still on her mind. His face when he left her room. Fuck him.

She gulped and said: "Thanks for bringing me here. I love it." Beck frowned as he felt she didn't mean what she said. He cautiously put an arm around her but sensed Eleanor flinching. He started: "Look, I know you've been through so much, and you're still in shock but…"

Eleanor cut him off: "I'm not in shock." Beck pulled his arm away and groaned: "Then what's wrong? Why are you not happy?" Eleanor didn't understand what he meant so she asked: "Do I have to be happy?"

Beck murmured: "Well, it's Monaco. It's where we… You know… I just thought you'd be happier." Eleanor scoffed: "So I have to be happy just because this is the place you fucked me for the first time? Oh, maybe it's because this is where you proposed to your wife after sleeping with me?"

Beck sighed and stood up saying: "Why do you keep bringing her up?" Eleanor looked away and answered calmly: "Because she's your wife." Beck closed his eyes in frustration and then opened them saying: "You know we have our issues. And I just…"

Eleanor stood up as well and snapped: "And I have to be your sidepiece until you go running back to her?" Beck hissed: "That's not what I meant." She started walking away from him: "But that's what you want, don't you?"

Beck followed her and grabbed her arm, making her turn around. He asked: "What's gotten into you?" Eleanor pulled her arm away and hissed: "My eyes got opened. You think you can take me here and what? Have me fall at your knees?"

Beck was speechless. Eleanor took a deep breath and said: "In case you hadn't noticed, I'm not into you anymore. And I can't just be with you whenever you and your wife have a fight." Beck shook his head but Eleanor kept on: "I'm sorry but that's the truth. And I want to go back to the palace. Now."

It's been a month since Jasper had left the palace. He tried not to look at the surveillance videos of her hallway. He tried not to read any royal-related news. He tried to cleanse himself of whatever was left of her around him. Even the poster in his room was long gone.

He thought about leaving, going back to America, but he still hadn't heard from Carter and Kyle and he didn't want to leave before whatever was between them was sorted out. He got a job at a network security company. He was doing alright for once in his life. He was happy. Almost happy.

But then it happened. He heard two of his co-workers talking about the wild Princess. How she had started going back to her old ways not long after she was abducted. He tried to reason with himself that it was stupid to get involved again but then his heart won and he searched her on the net.

Pictures showed up of all the nights she spent dancing with different guys in different clubs. Magazines calling her a whore, once again. He scrolled through the pictures but something wasn't right. He knew her. He had studied her for a couple of months before knowing how to snatch her away.

He had went to clubs with her. He even sat a few feet away from her for some nights, watching her every move. And she looked different. Of course, after Robert died, Eleanor was a mess. She looked miserable even when she was high.

But she did look different. She looked like she didn't want to be there. That she was faking it. But of course, he could be delusional because he was still in love with her. He muttered a quiet 'fuck' and closed all of his tabs. He was wrong. She's moved on. And he needed to do the same.

Eleanor laughed at Sebastian's joke even though she didn't find it funny. She gave him her glass and purred: "Would you be a doll and get me a refill of whatever this was?" Sebastian took the glass away and asked: "Don't you think you've had enough, Lenny?"

Eleanor looked into his eyes. She knew what he wanted. They've known each other for a few days and have flirted endlessly. And from his innuendos during all evening, she knew he wanted to sleep with her. But of course, she couldn't do that.

She'd been hitting the clubs all month. Partying and getting high non-stop. At first she thought it would make her feel better. Make her forget him. But it didn't work. She tried hooking up with guys but whenever they got close to her, she just felt repulsed by whatever reason she could find.

She didn't want to be that way. She wanted to be able to get over him. But there was just something inside her, always nagging and bringing his face up, and she had to stop herself. She met Sebastian at one of her mother's parties and they hit it off.

He was handsome and royal and had every good quality a Princess could look for in a man but she still couldn't find him attractive enough to be with him. If only she could just get her fucking shit together. Maybe she could sleep with him for the night and lift the fucking spell Jasper had put on her.

Sebastian called her name and she realized she'd just been staring into his eyes the whole time. He chuckled and asked: "Do you want to get out of here?" Eleanor knew she had to make a choice right then and there. She silenced the screams inside and put her lips on his.

Sebastian was taken aback but he managed to kiss her back with a passion. Eleanor didn't feel anything as their lips moved against each other. She wanted to feel something. She needed to sleep with him right away. It didn't help that she had too many drinks in her already. She wasn't making any sense.

She pulled away and whispered in his ear: "Let's go back to your place." Sebastian grinned and took her hand and led her out of the club and into his Benz. He started the car right away and she started kissing his neck feverishly.

Sebastian laughed and said: "Not that I mind, but I'm going to crash this car if you don't stop." Eleanor giggled and sat back down and Sebastian asked: "You want to listen to something?" Eleanor shrugged and he turned on the radio.

Will you take my hand?
We can make our stand

Eleanor froze in her place. It couldn't be.

If your world falls apart
I'd start a riot
If night falls in your heart
I'd light the fire

She looked hopelessly at Sebastian who was singing along to the song. Her heart started beating faster than usual. She felt her whole body heat up by the second. Why couldn't she escape him?

In the dark, when you sound the alarm
We'll find each other's arms
For your love, all you are
I'd start a riot

She snapped: "Stop the car." Sebastian turned to her and asked: "What's going on?" Eleanor fisted her hands and hissed: "I can't do this." Sebastian tried to touch her hand but she yanked it away. She groaned: "Please, just take me back to the palace."

Sebastian put his hands up in surrender and turned the car around. Eleanor turned the radio off and took a few deep breaths to calm her nerves. What was going on with her?

She'd been pacing around her room for an hour. After leaving Sebastian confused at the gates, she had run back to her room to think. She wanted to see him. After all this time, she knew she couldn't get over him anytime soon.

It was irrational, she knew that, but she didn't care that he had taken her hostage. For all she knew, he was just doing what his brother told him to do. Even she knew it was ridiculous but she had to justify his actions in order to let him in. And God, she wanted to let him in. So bad.

She sat on her bed and wondered how she could get a hold on him. She didn't have an address or a number. She wished he would've left her something. But they were so caught up in saying goodbye that day that neither of them thought about reaching out later on.

Not that he couldn't. He was a genius at hacking or things like that. But she was pretty sure he wouldn't contact her after what happened. He probably saw the news, saw her pictures with other boys, and moved on. She was freaking out.

But of course there was one way she could reach him. Like when she invited him to the party. She could tweet something meaningful and he could read it. He would come back for her. Unless he didn't care anymore. Or left the country. Or moved on with someone else. Fuck.

Her phone was in her hand. Her keyboard was up and waiting. What would she even say? Jasper, come see me? I miss you? She groaned and threw the phone back on her pillow. Maybe it was for the best. But who was she kidding?

Deep down she knew he would understand her tweet and come running back to her. He would. He loved her. And God, no matter how much she tried to deny it, she loved him too. She loved him so fucking much, it hurt.

She grabbed the phone and started typing and erasing. She ruled out a few sentences until she was satisfied with one. She hesitated to post it for a moment. But she did anyway. She locked the phone and closed her eyes. She told herself: "This is going to work."

"I'm mostly into cloud security. It's new and exciting." Anna exclaimed and waited for Jasper's reply. He nodded his head and said: "Yeah, interesting." Anna smiled and said: "I'm glad you asked me out. Since the moment I saw you walking into the company, I've had a crush on you."

Jasper gave her another smile and said: "Yeah. I figured." Anna slapped his hand playfully and asked: "Cocky much?!" Jasper chuckled and answered: "Yep. I'm a handful!" Anna laughed and offered: "You want another beer?"

Jasper said: "Oh, I'll go get some." Anna got up and explained: "I'm going into the ladies room anyway." Jasper nodded and watched her walk away. He sighed helplessly. He knew she was into him. She kept talking to him at work, flirting, but he couldn't bring himself to ask her out until then.

He needed to move on but why couldn't he enjoy himself a bit more? His laughs were forced and even though Anna was gorgeous, he couldn't imaging hooking up with her. Not when his mind was still on the wild Princess.

His phone beeped and he saw a notification. It was her. She had tweeted again. He watched as Anna started walking towards the table. He didn't want to open it. He shouldn't have. But he did anyway. He gulped as he read: "I want you. Come, find me…"

"If I get out of here and you still want me, I'll find you, Princess..."

"Jasper?" Anna's voice ringed in his ears. He had to make a choice. There was no denying that Eleanor wrote those words based on his words. It was a message for him. And only him. He'd been right. She was miserable in those pictures. Maybe she…

Anna snapped her fingers in front of his face and said: "Earth to Jasper!" Jasper looked up and said quietly: "I'm sorry Anna. I gotta go." She frowned and asked: "What? Why?" Jasper put some bills on the table for the drinks and said apologetically: "There's an emergency. I'm sorry."

He walked past the shocked Anna and left the bar as quickly as he could. He walked all the way to his flat, trying to clear his mind. There was no doubt he was going to her. He didn't care if it was the right choice or not. He didn't even care if she had changed her mind and wanted to turn him in. He was going to see her. He was in love, after all.

Soooooo... What did you think? Don't forget to comment! I can't wait to see your thoughts.

Love,
