Roberto Part 1

When I turned around it was Prince Roberto bowing gracefully with a handsome smile across his face.

"Will you dance with me, princess?" he asked looking at me with his chocolate brown eyes.

"I-I-I-" I began to stutter like an idiot in front of him. 'Dance...with him? Stop stuttering Marika! You look stupid!' I screamed at myself but I couldn't get any words out to say yes to him. He was nice to me and besides, if I said no then it will be an embarrassment on both of us. He started to laugh and he gently grabs my hand.

"You don't have to force yourself. A simply nod would make me the most happiest man on the planet." he leads me to the dance floor.

"I-I- don't know how to dance at this kind of thing…" I whispered looking down at my feet embarrassed.

"Don't fret, princess! Prince Roberto at your service!" he laughed and gently gets me into position for a waltz. "Just follow me."

The orchestra played a nice, slow waltz that entrance others to join. I followed his lead while I counted with the music. I looked down to see his footing until he raises my chin.

"Don't look down. Just look at me…" he said softly, narrowing his eyes. I nodded slightly and looked at him. He was extremely close to my face that one slip our lips would touch. "Never look away from me, princess…" he whispers so closely his soft breath blows upon my lips.

'He must be a womanizer…' I sighed internally. 'He must use this on every woman with a beating heart. Great, I rather have a jerk than a womanizer because now he thinks I'm into him. I should just said no and face the incriminating embarrassment of the higher class.' I must of made a strange face because now he's making a face.

"Is everything alright?" he asked concerned as we slowed to a halt with the room booming with applause.

"Yeah, why?"

"That face you were making...it seemed to be saying that you weren't enjoying how time together." his smile suddenly a frown that made it look like he was about to cry.

"Oh, no, no, no, no, no! I was...just wondering if I...smelled weird!" I quickly made up something. I didn't want to make a prince cry! That's even more embarrassing! Then he bursted out laughing.

"That's what you were thinking!" he held his stomach. "No, princess, you smell like a garden of roses." he smiled. He grabs my hand again and kisses it. After that I quickly snatched it away from him out of how uncomfortable it was to have someone do that. He looked up surprised, shocked that I did that.

Crap.

"Sorry, I don't feel that comfortable with that…" I scratched my head awkwardly followed by a laughed. He didn't say anything but smiled happily.

"Sorry for doing that. I didn't know." he apologized with a bow.

"No, no, it's my fault." I said waving my hands. "It's just not my thing you know?"

"No, I do not. Will you tell me...when we are alone?" he says whispering into my ear. Out of instinct I pushed him away. That crossed the line.

"Okay, bye." I quickly said rudely and left him alone. Not interested in anything with a prince. I now regretted my decision to dance with him. After that a swarm of girls ran past me and crowded up the Prince.

"Roberto, dance with me!" one girl shouted.

"No, me!" another yelled. I watched him get so flustered and so crushed between girls I laughed a little. Then I turned away and went to the food area.

'Man, how long have I been here? I completely forgotten the time.' I didn't have my watch or phone with me so I am at a complete loss. I felt rude if I just asked someone. They might think I found the party boring or something and stick up their nose. Standing here awkwardly wasn't helping either. Maybe I should just leave. Who's going to miss me? Besides, I am a nobody. I slowly snuck out of the party and tried to find where so my stuff is.

"This is ridiculous...you don't need this many rooms…" I sighed in frustration as I kept opening doors that were unlocked. There wasn't anyone to help me so I had to do this on my own. I just hoped that no one will find me weird or suspicious. Suddenly I heard running behind me. It was too late to hide because by the time I saw who was coming I was suddenly grabbed my the hand and forced to run. "Yo!" I shouted.

"Hey, there princess!" Roberto smiled in front of me. "Let's hang out more. Hey, let's go to your place! I think it will be tons of fun!"

"Roberto!" I heard clamours of screaming girls right behind us.

"Alright! Let's move!" I said running. Without my knowledge I went past him and then I was the one dragging him along but I didn't care. I didn't want to be attacked by a dozen of love drunk rich girls.

We got outside and got into a black car and forced the driver to step on it. Once we were out of the property we relieved a long, loud sigh. I looked back and saw the girls falling over themselves and crying. I almost kind of felt bad for them.

"So...where do you live?" Roberto asked.

"Wait you really meant that you were coming?" I said in shock.

"Of course! There's nothing open at this time but even if there was I couldn't go in. I am a prince you know?" he winked and I felt suddenly tired.

'He has a point. And the kids have school tomorrow so it's better just to go home but the kids...how will they react if I brought a man to our home!? Not just any man but a an actual Prince!" I was freaking out of my mind. I told my address to the driver and fretted in the backseat the entire time.

…..

When I opened the door to my apartment all three children were standing there in their pajamas with serious looks on their faces. Naru in plaid pants and a grey shirt, Haru in a pink nightgown squeezing her rabbit Frizzy, and Kai in between them in his Pokemon onesie.

"Aunty," Naru spoke up first in a disappointing tone. "Where have you've been?"

"You didn't have a shift at the bakery tonight." Haru said second.

"You didn't call that you were going to be late or have a sudden shift to work for."

"We were worried about you.

"Don't you know what time it is?"

"It's dangerous to be out this long, Aunty Marika." Naru and Haru spoke right after one finishes their question or statement, making me feel like the child in this family. When they were done they just stared with serious expressions.

"Don't...YOU know know what time it is?" I said trying to be the adult that I am. "You have school tomorrow don't you?"

"Don't change the subject!" Naru yelled.

"Don't worry so much!" I yelled back. We stared daggers at each other while Haru sighs and shakes her head. Then Kai went behind me and pointed at Roberto who I have forgotten who was behind me the entire time.

"Isn't that…" Naru said going speechless.

"It's-it's-" Haru started to smile and then she screamed.

"Quiet!" my neighbor banged the wall.

"Shut you old bat!" I banged the wall back.

"It's Roberto! It's Roberto!" Haru changed and jumped up and down. Roberto smiled kindly and kissed Haru's hand.

"It is nice to meet you, princess." he winked making Haru blush. Naru stepped in between them and blocked Haru out of his sight.

"Kids...meet Prince Roberto Button of Altaria, Prince Roberto meet...my nephews Naruki and Kai and my niece Haruka." I introduce them awkwardly.

"It is nice to meet you all." Roberto smiled. Kai stared silently, not making any signs of even greeting him, Naru stayed in his protective position and glared at him while Haru was long gone from reality. This is really awkward.

"Okay time for bed. Go, go, go." I pushed them to bed.

"Aunty why are you dress like Cinderella? Oh were you at a party with him just like Cinderella!?" Haru asked.

"You look funny." said Naru.

"We will talk about it in the morning. Now go to bed it's late, school tomorrow, blah, blah, blah, I love am three of you now goodnight." I said shoving them to ok room and then shutting the door. "I am very sorry about that. My niece loves princes and my nephews are a bit...different." I said trying to smile at Roberto. "Please have a seat. I'll go make some tea." I pointed at the couch and quickly went to the kitchen.

I came out with a tray with a hot kettle of water with the nicest tea cups I can find. I only had cheap green tea bags so I just went along with it. I served the tea like I do at the restaurant as calmly and politely as possible. He thanked me as I sat down next to him. I made sure I was not as close to him just in case he pulls something on me.

"Sorry," he said out of the blue, "If I would have known you had children I wouldn't have suggest coming here."

"Oh, no, it's my own fault by putting you in this position. I was expecting for them to be asleep."

"Well they are good kids if they waited for their aunt to come home this late on a school night."

"Yeah, I guess so." I smile a little thinking about that.

"Their parents must be proud of them. They are lucky to have kids like that." He smiled. My heart panged painfully. Too bad none of them around to see them.

"Maybe…" I whispers. Oscar would have scolded them but thank them anyway for worrying. That was the kind of man he was. A forgiving man.

It was silent now. Not one of us tried to talk after that. Maybe I made him feel unfortable in a sad way not in a strange, awkward, way that I've done so far.

"You have a nice home." He smiled. He's joking right? There barely anything here and he's saying it's nice. I guess he's trying to be nice so I forced a smile and thanked him. "You're very different from the other women I've met."

"What's that suppose to mean?" I asked not understanding what he meant.

"I mean...you don't dawn over me or force me to do anything. Its very strange but I like it. Plus, you have a strong traits. It's kind of attractive." he winked. I didn't know what to say to him. I felt my heart squeeze a little but I ignored it. I am not falling in love with a prince.

"Why...thank you?" I said. He laughed and wiped his eyes smiling. Suddenly the doorbell rang. I got up and cautiously looked through the hole to see who it was.

"YOUR HIGHNESS!" a man with brown hair and brown eyes yelled. I quickly opened the door and the man walked in without any hesitation. "Where have you been!? I was looking everywhere for you! Good thing I have tracking device installed in your shoe or else I'll never find you. Hurry now!" the man pulled Roberto by his ear.

"Wait! Hey, Alberto!" the Prince tried to fight him but the man was stronger than he looked. "I'm so sorry about this! I'll make it out to you, princess!" Roberto shouted as the two men disappeared into the elevator.

I stood there dumbfounded by what just happened. I slowly closed the door and quickly washed up and dress for bed, forgetting that this ever happened. I'll never meet him or go to parties like that ever again in my life.

But what I didn't know is that fate would be involved and change my life completely.
