Second Thoughts

After feeding Hank, Sara proceeded to go to the library. She planned to read an interesting book that might, with any luck, make her forget about Prince Gil and where he was now. However, once she arrived at the library, all plans and thoughts were pushed aside. She immediately remembered Prince Gil. She shook her head. She went to the library to forget about Prince Gil…not remember him but, her mind had other plans. She immediately thought of Prince Gil.

"Sara, would you read to me? Whenever I was lonely, Isabelle would read to me and..."

"Yes your highness." Said Sara

Sara sighed. It was only ten hours after Prince Gil's departure and she was missing him extremely. She then proceeded to one of the various bookshelves in the library and looked at the titles of the books. She found them interesting, but not interesting enough to divert her thoughts away from Prince Gil. Normally, she would automatically read a book that interested her, but this day wasn't normal. She wasn't normal. She started being abnormal since she met Prince Gil. Sure, she still had the same hobbies and the same personalities…but she didn't have the same habits anymore. Before she worked for Prince Gil and his family, she always had a schedule for herself. She always made sure that she had self control, and she always slept early or read a book if there was free time.

…But now…

…She no longer had a schedule for herself. However, on the few days that she did have a schedule…her schedule would always be ruined because her mind kept reverting to Prince Gil.

…She no longer slept early or read a book for there was never enough time. Her mind would always revert back to Prince Gil, making it hard for her to focus on reading a book or sleeping. And during nights when she would actually managed to get some sleep, she would often have nightmares about the times when she was a little girl roaming the dirty streets struggling to survive, or she would have dreams about Prince Gil.

…She still had self control but not as much as she did in the past. And because of her lack in self-control, she learned the lesson the hard way.

"Prince Gil…I have to tell you something."

"Okay…is there something wrong?"

"Well…no actually. I...lately…I have been…in love…with a man…"

"Is that so? Well…who is the lucky man?"

"…You." Said Sara

"Sara, you know that a prince and a maid cannot be. I do not have those feelings for you…I'm sorry."

. "I…I know that. God, I shouldn't have told you…Anyway…its fine." Sara's hand covered her mouth. "I should probably watch my mouth…don't you think?"

"Uhh…Sara..."

"No…It's okay. Really, Prince Gil…it's fine. I'm fine...really…I shouldn't have told you…really."

Sara shook her head and went to the next bookshelf. She hoped that she would find a book interesting enough to make herself forget about Prince Gil; what they did together, and what may happen to him.

Shaking her head, she just grabbed a book from the bookshelf and headed towards one of the couches. She hoped that the book would be interesting but after realizing that she had been reading the same page for about fifteen minutes, she shook her head, closed the book, and returned it to its proper place. She gave up trying to find an interesting book for she already proved to herself that she couldn't focus on reading a book right now.

"…A penny for your thoughts?"

Sara looked behind her and she saw no other than Prince Vincent.

"Prince Vincent! I should really be going…" said Sara, attempting to get out of the library as fast as possible.

"No! Uhh…Listen…" Vincent ran a hand through his hair. "I'm really sorry for what I've done. I know that I had been really disrespectful towards you…"

"You bet." interrupted Sara

"…But I would really like to know you better. Normally, I'm very kind especially towards women but…well…I don't know what happened that made me act like that in front of you. So…can you please give me another chance?" asked Vincent

Sara looked at his eyes. He seemed really sincere. HE seemed like he was really apologetic, and frankly, she didn't have any real reason to not give him another chance. After all, he seemed really sorry for what he did.

"Okay." Said Sara

"Great! Would you want to have dinner with me? Like I said, I would really like to get to know you better…" said Vincent

"Sure." Said Sara

"Thanks! Look…I promise you that you would enjoy later. So…let's just meet at the garden…at 9:00. I'm taking you to a really nice restaurant." said Vincent

"…Really? Where?" asked Sara

"…Gertrude's. So…I'll see you?"

"Okay."

"Thanks. You would never regret this. I would really like to get to know you better." Vincent took a look at his watch. "Look…I better go. My mother is probably waiting for me…I promised her that I would help her in planning the ball for my brother. See you." said Vincent as he left.

Sara's heart sank. Prince Vincent, although he didn't know it, had just reminded her about Prince Gil. Sara shook her head. She was supposed to be happy. At least Prince Vincent was being polite to her now.

Sara went out of the library. She knew that she shouldn't go on a date with Prince Vincent when she still loved Prince Gil.

Sara frowned. Why shouldn't she go on a date with Prince Vincent? After all, Prince Gil wasn't here. And even if Prince Gil was here, she could still go on a date with Prince Vincent for Prince Gil had already rejected her. Besides, she was still single and Prince Vincent didn't say that they were going on a date...He just said that they were going to dinner…So why not? Technically, she wasn't breaking any rules. She just assumed that they were going on a date.

Sara shook her head. She better stop assuming things if she wants to get along with Prince Vincent.

"…But that's the point. Do you really want to get along with Prince Vincent?" asked a voice in her head.

Sara just smiled.

A.N: Yes! My sister and I are going to watch Harry Potter 7 part 1 tomorrow! I'm so excited! =)

Anyways…back to the story. How did I do with this chapter? =)
