A Question and an Answer

Sara's POV

I was running…in a dark alleyway. Somebody…was chasing me. Suddenly, I tripped on a can. The man is staring at me now…And I could see his eyes darken with desire. I started to back away… but he already grabbed me. He pushed me against a wall. I struggled but he was too strong. Slowly, he knelt down and started to…

"Nooo!" I shouted as I bolted upright.

I sighed. It was just a nightmare…again. I glanced at my watch. 4:26 a.m. too early. I have to go and sleep some more…and I need to wake up on time. 6:00 a.m. So that I would be able to start working on time. 7:00 a.m.

I slowly sank down on the bed and started to wish for sleep to come.

6:00 a.m.

I awoke. I looked at my watch. 6:00 a.m. Good. I went to my bathroom and started to take a bath. After taking a bath, I looked at my closet. I looked at my uniform. It was an orange dress that looked beautiful to me…so beautiful that, in my opinion, it could be worn by princesses.

By the time that I finished dressing up, tying my hair, and brushed my teeth, it was already 7:00 a.m. I went to Prince Gil's room and knocked. After a few minutes, I opened the door.

I looked at Prince Gil. He was still sleeping under the covers. He was topless…Oh my.

"Good morning to you, your highness." I smirked

"Uhh…" he said unconsciously.

I quickly went towards Hank.

"Good morning boy." I said, patting his head.

I quickly put food and water in his bowls. After doing so, I went towards Prince Gil and patted him on the back.

"Time to wake up Prince Gil." I said

He unconsciously pulled me against him, and I stumbled into the bed. He hugged me tight.

I panicked. I don't know why, but I panicked.

"Prince Gil!"

He stirred. After looking at me…He jumped.

"Oh…Sara! I'm so sorry…"

"That's quite alright…"

I stood up.

"Time for breakfast your grace."

"I'll be downstairs."

With that, I headed towards the door.

"Good Morning Sara!" said Dorothy

"Good morning Dorothy…"

"So, we'll be having our breakfast in an hour. Have you checked on Prince Gil?"

"Yes…He'll be downstairs in a minute."

"You look very good in your dress by the way."

"Thanks. Uhm, listen…I have to go. I need to check up on Nazlyn."

"Sure. Just make sure to be here by an hour."

"Okay."

I went towards the stables, eager for Nazlyn to get to know her new owner.

I patted Nazlyn on her head. I was surprised that she didn't kick me or anything. She looked like she was eager for my pats.

"Good Morning Sara."

I turned around. Hank was behind me. I smiled.

"Good morning Hank. Why are you here?"

"I'm here to feed Nazlyn. Listen…do you have time…tonight? Do you want to have dinner with me?"

I…was still uncertain if I wanted to go or not. I decided to go with him on a date. Why not? What could happen?

"Sure."

"Great…about 9:00? Let's meet at the garden, and we'll go to Josephine's. They serve the best vegetarian dishes. You are a vegetarian…aren't you?"

"Yes. How did you know…?"

"I asked Dorothy…she said you were a vegetarian."

"Oh. Well…I'll see you." I said

"You too."

With that, I headed back to the kitchens.

7:00 a.m.

"Ahh…finally. Breakfast." said Amber

I smiled. I quickly got acquainted with the maids yesterday, when we were having our dinner.

"So…what's on the menu?" asked Shane

"We have…Hotcakes, Waffles, and Toast." Said Caramel

"Mmm. Yummy. I'm starving." Said Cheska

We started to eat. I chose to eat Waffles.

"So…How was your day yesterday?" asked Hope

"It was great."I said.

"So…interested in anyone?" asked Luna

I wanted to say Prince Gil…but I couldn't. So…I picked my second choice.

"…Hank." I said.

"Hank…as in the dog?" asked Hazel

"No…Hank as in the stable boy." I said

"Yeah. Him. That was what I said. The dog." Said Hazel

"The on you're referring to is Hank as in Prince Gil's dog. I'm talking about Hank Peddigrew."

"Yeah right…he's still a dog. Did you know? He and I dated once. He broke up with me after sleeping with me." Said Hazel.

"Really? Well, he asked me out on a date, and I accepted. What do I do?"

"Simple. Break it off with him before he does." Chimed in Ruby

"Correct!" said Shane

"Well…I was thinking of giving him a chance…" I said

"Well…you can give him a chance. The only problem is, you're going to gamble your heart if you're going to give him another chance. You can either be happy, or lonely." Said Dorothy

"I don't know. My problem is what do I do later when we have our date?" I asked.

"Easy. Eat, be merry, and chat. But most importantly, don't let him in your pants." Said Olivia

"Thanks for the advice…I guess."

"No problem sweetheart. Just be cautious around him okay?" asked Stella

"I will…try, Thanks."

A.N: I'm thinking of changing the name of my story. Apparently, in the Philippines, "Royalty" is a name of a funeral parlor. *shivers*
