Chapter 4 Romantic kiss under the moonlight bliss

William's POV

There, I gave it in her face; she will know better not to challenge me again. Anyways, since I won the bet, I need to think of something her to do, but what? I will think later, right now the bell just rang; I need to get home and talk to uncle about the next plan. I quickly changed my cloths and went outside to see my uncle already there talking to Anna. Hmm why is he talking to her?

I walked up to them "Hey uncle, what's up?" I asked looking at Anna

"William, we were just talking about you" He said giving me a fake smile

"Speak of the devil" She said glaring at me. Dame girl, does she ever not glare?

Ignoring Anna, my uncle continued talking "Oh Anna, be ready for tonight, I will send William to pick you up" I looked at my uncle, expecting for an answer.

"Oh no, that won't be necessary, I will come by myself besides I have enough drivers at home, don't need another one to add on my list" She said giving uncle a...what?...she was smiling at my uncle. Could she even do that? Man, her smile was beautiful, I could watch her all day smiling like this. I just wanted to get close and kiss those-wait, what? She did not just call me a driver.

I cleared my throat "Can someone tell me, what's going on?" I asked now irritated

"Oh yeah, William, you will pick up Miss Anna from her house to the palace tonight. She's goanna have dinner with us as per your fathers request" What? How the hell did he convinces her and how come she's nice to him and not me, not fair.

"No, there's no nee-" My uncle cut her off

"No dear, I will not let you come alone with all these dangers lurking in the city. William will come and pick you up and that's done" He said confirming it.

I held the urge to laugh out loud at what expressions she was giving my uncle. She was looking at him as if she was going to attack him right now, don't worry Anna, I hate him too. "Fine but send someone else instead of him, I do not like to waste my time with bad company" She said glaring at us

I smirked "Since I've spent a lot of time with girls, I know I'm a good company but I really don't know about you"

She glared. She was about to say something but I cut her off "Don't worry, we'll find out tonight, be ready by 8" and with that I turned around and pulled my uncle with me to leave. As I reached the car, I turned around to see her watching me with her friends. I smirked and winked at her. All the girls gasped and before entering my car I saw her mouth hanging open.

I looked at the clock, it was already 7. I quickly ran in the shower and was out in 15 mints. I was ready by 7:30pm. I wore a sky blue shirt underneath my black suit jacket and I was wearing a black skinny jean with my black and white high tops.

I quickly made my way down to the hall where my uncle was waiting. I went up to him grinning. He looked at me confused on my grinning expression "What?" he asked

"How the hell did you convince her for dinner tonight" I said still grinning

His confusion flew away and understanding took place "Oh that" He smirked "Well I do live with you and I am getting influenced by my little nephew" He said slightly punching me in the chest.

My eyes went wide "You flirted with her?" I said I don't know why but I felt a tinge of anger rising inside me until he spoke.

"What? NO" He quickly replied "There are more things than flirting that could be influenced on me by you and that is smartness but now I think I should take it back cause your such an idiot" He said shaking his head in disappointment.

I felt relieved; I mean come on, who wouldn't. My uncle is a handsome guy and every girl falls for him. He might be 900 years old but he still looks like he's in his middle twenties. He's very much like me or should I say I'm like him but we look so much alike but why am I having these weird feelings. What in the world is this girl doing to me?

"Oh…..so what did you do?" I asked curiously

He smiled "Well, I just told her that me and her dad were very good friends and we used to hang out a lot in the palace and I understand what's she going through as I also feel very sad about him suddenly disappearing and she melted down in an instant and I took my chance for the dinner tonight" He said showing me an answer.

And I totally understood "So what you mean is…." I said trailing off

"That's exactly what I mean" He said grinning, understanding what I have in mind.

That's a good news for our next plan, I just found out her weakness and that's her "Dad" I whispered

He smirked "Exactly"

I looked at my hand watch. Shit, I'm goanna be late. It was 7:45 "Look I would love to chat and hang around but I have to pick Anna up. So I will meet you in the palace" I said walking out.

We were living just a few blocks away from Anna. This was the area where all the rich people stay and that's why there were all mansions in this area. We needed to keep an eye on her so we took the nearest mansion we could that's why uncle convinced her to come with me straight to the palace. I quickly got in my car and drove in to her house.

Anna's POV

I was ready by 7:45. I was wearing a black strapless dress, which was fitted from the waist then flowed down till my mid thighs. My hair was straight and was all down till my waist even longer. I wore my mothers protecting necklace and my silver hoop earrings.

My aunt entered my room. She, her daughter and her husband were living with me ever since my dad disappeared.

"You look just like your mother" My aunt said smiling

I smiled "Thanks Aunt Kathy" I was really grateful to her for coming here and living with me. I was very lonely ever since dad left and it was a good thing she came; at least I wasn't the only one in the big old mansion.

Just than the bell rang

"I'll check it" Said Aunt Kathy

William's POV

I reached her house and pressed the doorbell. After what seems like 5 mints the door opened to reveal Mrs. Knight standing there.

She smiled at me. She knew about the mission but we told her that Anna's life was in danger; she didn't know anything about the father betrayal business.

I smiled back "Good evening Mrs. Knight"

"Good evening Prince William. Don't you look dashing" She said observing me.

Uh ladies, always after me "Well thank you but I'm not as dashing as you" I said kissing her cheek.

She blushed "Anna was right, you are such a playboy" She said chuckling

Anna oh Anna, you have so many thoughts for me, babe.

"Come on in" She said walking in. I followed her behind in the main hall. Wow her mansion was nice but nothing that I haven't seen before since I have my own palace.

"Please take a seat, I'll inform Anna about your arrival" She said walking off somewhere inside.

I sat on the large couch. Just than a little girl about Sam's age walked in. She looked at me and smiled. She was really cute.

I smiled at her "Hello there" I said

She blushed, I guess she's very shy "Hello" she said in a low voice.

She sat next to me "What's your name, sweetie" I asked

She smiled at me "Jen" She said

"Wow, what a pretty name for a pretty girl like you" again she blushed

Is she Anna's sister but uncle never mentioned any siblings of Anna "Are you Anna's sister" I asked

"No, I'm her cousin" She said

"Your Mrs. Knight's daughter?" I asked

She looked at me confused, I guess she doesn't know her mothers full name "Are you Kathy's daughter" I asked

She nodded "Yes"

That explains the resemblance. She looks a lot like her mother. Just then Anna walked down. Boy, did she look beautiful? That might be an understatement. She looked like a goddess descending down from the stairs, even these words were not correct to describe her. Her beauty was incomparable. She was breathtaking. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't take my eyes of her beautiful face. Is she compelling me, if she is, I will slap her but deep down I know that she's the only women who get my attention without compelling me which nobody else could do.

She came up to me

"You look beautiful" I whispered without thinking

She looked taken back with a little blush. She smirked and walked close to me "I wish I could say the same about you"

Ohhhh sexy, I like.

She smirked "Lets go"

"After you" I said pointing to the door.

She walked out. I turned around to look at Jen. I winked at her "bye"

She blushed "Bye"

Anna's POV

We were now sitting in his car on our way to the Richana city, the city were the palace is. I looked to my right at William had full concentration on the road and I had my concentration on him. He looked dame hot and I couldn't stop staring at him until he looked my way. I quickly turned my head the other way.

"You do know that staring is rude" He said smirking.

I narrowed my eyes at him "Who said I was staring at you"

He smirked "I didn't say you were staring at me, I just said staring is rude besides you just pointed the fact out that you were staring at me which I totally understand even if you were"

I glared at him and was nervous at the same time for getting caught "What do you mean?" I asked

"What I mean is that I'm hot and no girl could resist me especially my charms so I totally understand if you were staring" He said smirking

But instead of getting mad at him, I laughed. I actually laughed.

William's POV

She was laughing but to me it was like a goddess singing in front of me. Her laugh was like bells ringing and she looked dame sexy and now she has made me stare at her which I couldn't stop doing.

She calmed down "You are so dumb"

"What was funny about that" I said irritated for getting lost in her beauty.

"The funny thing is that whichever girl stares at you must be blind cause she can't see the real you or they like the fake you which you are." She chuckled

"Well you're not blind"

"Exactly, I'm nothing like those whores who fall for you"

"Don't get too cocky, I hope you remember our little bet so be ready to do as I say tomorrow" I said smirking

Her smile fell off her face and a glare took place. She huffed in anger and looked out the window, totally ignoring what I said.

Anna's POV

I avoided him all the way. We reached the palace at 9pm. He got off and opened my door. I got out and looked at the palace. It was huge; my mansion was nothing in front of this.

"Shall we move?" He asked

I nodded, couldn't find my voice.

We entered the royal palace. Everyone who passes bowed to the prince. We walked down a long hall then in a lift.

"Where are we going" I asked nervous for meeting the king first time in my life.

"To the throne room" He said

"Why" I whispered to myself but I guess he heard it, stupid vampire hearing, I guess that's why Dracula had big ears.

"Are you scared" He asked smirking

"No, shut up" I glared at him and he chuckled

The lift stopped at the 5th floor and we got out in a hall and walked straight. We were walking towards a big double door room, I think this is the throne room since the door was white with golden knobs and two guards were standing on the sides. They both bowed when they saw William and me and opened the big double door. We entered to see the king and queen sitting on the thrones with Arnold standing at their side and William's brother Charles who I knew since childhood and a girl I don't know. The king was quite young and so was the queen. They both looked in their mid thirties even though William had told me their real age before.

The king smiled warmly at me and the queen did too. We stood in front of them both. I looked at them eye to eye until William whispered "Bow down" I looked to my left to see him bowing down. Whoops forgot about that. I was about to bow when the king spoke.

"No need. I really like her courage to look at me in eye to eye" He said getting up and walking up to us he walked around me "So beautiful…so strong… so powerful…so tough…" He stopped in front of me and looked in my eyes "Just like your father…" He said smiling taking his hand out for me to give mine in his which I did. He kissed my hand "Nice to meet you. Miss Anna" He said

I smiled "The pleasure is all mine, your highness"

"Please call me James; you're a family since you're my best friend's daughter, your family" He said.

His wife came down to us and smiled at me.

"Oh Anna" She hugged me "I saw you when you were a baby, I missed you so much" She said

"Nice to meet you, your highness" I said

"Please call me Nora as James just said that you're a family so no needs to be formal" She said warmly

"Ok" I said

Then Charles and that girl walked up to us "Anna, you've grown so much and in to a beautiful lady" Charles said hugging me

I smiled "I missed you too Charles" I said sarcastically, we knew each other. When I was small, he used to come to our mansion with Arnold for some work with dad and he used to play with me while dad and Arnold worked. He was eighteen then and I was 5.

"You two know each other?" William asked

"Yeah, I used to go to their house with Uncle Arnold for work with her dad and while they worked, I and Anna played games." He said chuckling

The girl cleared her throat and Charles looked at her "Oh I'm so sorry honey, Anna, this is my wife Diana and Diana, you already know Anna" He said introducing us.

She shook my hand "Very nice to meet you" She said smiling

"Same here" I said

"So I hope there weren't any interruptions in your journey" Said James

"Oh no, not at all" I said

Just then a servant walked in "Your highness, the dinner is served"

"Ok, I think we should eat now" Said Nora

William's POV

I sat down next to dad with Anna next to me.

"Please start" My dad said and we all started. Anna looked hesitant to pick.

"What's wrong?" I asked

"I don't know what to pick, there's too many" She said looking around

"Well, take a little bit of everything and try it" I said

She looked at me and smiled at me for the first time in life I felt good to see her smile at me "Thanks" She said and picked whatever she wanted.

"Hey Uncle Will" Sam said coming in the dining room

"Hey buddy" I pulled him on my lap "How was your day without me" I asked

"Boing, I was sho bored" He said

"Awww, so cute, who's this?" asked Anna

"This is my nephew and Charles Son, Sam" I said

"Who's this?" Asked Sam

"This is Anna, my-" He cut me off

His eyes were wide "This is your girlfriend?" He giggled

Now my eyes went wide while the rest chuckled except me and Anna. I looked at her who was flushed maybe because she was coughing her drink out.

"Uh na-" He cut me off again

"Anna and Will sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G, first comes love then comes marriage than comes a baby in a baby carriage" He said giggling and I had to keep myself from sweating.

"I'm sorry honey; you will need to guess better next time. I'm not your uncle will's girlfriend; I'm just his school mate." She said smiling at him but I could still see some red tints in her cheek.

"Exactly dude, you can't just make anyone my girlfriend." I said

"Sorry uncle will" He said frowning

I smiled "No problem kid, now go to your mommy and eat" I said getting him off my lap. He walked off to Diana.

"Hey will, did you miss me?" oh no that voice I know. We all turned around to see Shelby standing there. Looking at me with pure lust, it's not that I don't like her; it's something like I HATE HER. I mean she's like a lost puppy following me around everywhere and I hate her for that. She's my mother's friend's daughter.

I rolled my eyes and looked back at my food. Oh no, she just had to come here, especially in front of Anna. Who the hell invited her?

She came up to me and putted her hand on my shoulder "Hey Will, I'm talking to you"

I resisted the urge to smack her hand off my shoulder "I'm not deaf" I said in a sing along voice.

"Who's this?" She said completely ignoring my remark.

I looked to where she was pointing. "That's Anna, a family friend and my school mate"

She was red, like she was about to blow. Was she jealous of Anna?

"Oh" was all she said before sitting her ass down in front of me.

"I'm Shelby by the way" She said to Anna

"Anna" Anna said

"So what do your parents do, Anna?" She asked. Oh boy, this is not going to end well.

Anna glared at her; I guess she understood what type Shelby is. "My father is the king's personal witch and my mother past away" She said

"Oh…so your Anna Black? Frank Black's Daughter" She said as if it was disgusting.

"Of course, I'm proud to be" Anna retorted

"So has your father returned yet? I heard he betrayed the royals, a traitor" She said now I felt angry.

"Shelby, that's out of line" I said angrily banging my hand on the table which bought all attention to us.

"What? I only said the truth" She said

I could see tears forming in Anna's eyes "Well then Shelby, you don't know what's true and neither do I, all I know is that my father will do anything but he will never betray his own people, especially not me…so you better get your facts right before you open that big mouth of yours" She said glaring at her, dame she was angry. The lights of the room were blowing in and out and the wind blew in through all the windows. "If you ever talk shit about my father again, I will not be so nice to let you get away with it" She said shaking with anger.

I looked at Anna but she was too busy glaring at Shelby. I putted my hand on her shoulder "Anna calm down" I whispered in her ear and then everything stopped, the lights got normal and so did the wind.

Dad cleared his throat "Um…Will, why don't you take Anna to the garden for some air"

I nodded and got up "Come on Anna, let's go in the garden" I said

She nodded and followed me out.

We were walking in the garden silently. I knew she was upset and I was giving her some time alone to think. I saw a tear slide down her cheek.

I putted my hand on her shoulder for comfort "Hey…" I whispered

She wiped her tear and looked at me "You okay?" I asked

She smiled but I knew she was hurt "Perfect" She said she don't have to pretend in front of me. I understand her.

I made her sit on the bench and I bended on my knees in front of her. "Don't lie to me. I know how it feels to loose someone close to you. Whatever Shelby said inside was all lie and she's a bitch, I apologize for what she said. I'm sure you're dad will be back soon. He hasn't betrayed us. I know that because I was very close to your father…" she cut me off

"You were close to my dad?" She asked tears shedding from her eyes

"Yes, we were very close to each other. He was there for me when I needed someone the most. And as much as you miss him, I miss him too. And I totally understand how your feeling right now" I said looking in her eyes.

And too my surprise or should I say shock, she hugged me. I was shocked for a moment but then I hugged her back, I got up and she stood up too but still hugging. She started to cry on my shoulder.

"M-my…fath-father…is not a traitor" She said sobbing

I tried to comfort her "Shhh…I know…I know…everything will be fine…" It felt nice to be close to her. I wanted to stay like this forever. I ran my hands through her hair to comfort her.

"I want him back, William. I want my father back, bring him back" She said still crying on my shoulder.

"Shhh…we will find him…I promise" I said really meaning my promise to her.

She finally stopped and moved back but still close. Her hands were still on my chest and my hands on her waist. "I'm sorry, I ruined your cloths." She said looking down.

I pulled her chin up for her to look at me "My cloths are not more important than your tears" I said looking in her eyes and that's when I got lost in them. Her eyes are like the maze, you will love to roam in them but eventually you will end up lost and it always happens with me. My eyes went down on her lips and that's when my urges pushed in and I wanted to kiss her right then. Without thinking I started to lean down and she moved upwards.

Suddenly the lights were off and it was totally dark. The only light we had was the moons light which was shining brightly on our faces. We still had eye contact and we were very close, so close that our noses were touching and our lips were about to. I was about to kiss her but a light flashed on our faces.

"William, is that you?" Asked Charles flashing the torch light on our faces, urgh. He just had to come and ruin the moment.

We quickly moved apart. "Uh yes" I said disappointed

"Ok stay where you are. There was a short circuit, the light will come back shortly" He said going back

And then the light suddenly came back. I looked at Anna who was not looking at me. I cleared my throat "Uhm…I think we should go back" I said.

She rubbed the back of her neck nervously "Uh…ye-yeah…l-lets go" She stammered.

We were now saying our goodbyes. Anna was bidding bye while I was waiting for her by the car, gosh, girls take so long.

Finally after 15 mints, she came. And that's when we took off.

I kept looking at her to check if she was okay. She was rubbing her arms as if she was cold. I stopped the car at a side and took of my jacket and wrapped it around her. She smiled "Thanks"

"Your welcome" I said and started the car again

We were silent all the way. I stopped the car to her house. I got off and opened her door for her. She got off and stood there in silent. It was an awkward silence.

I looked at her "You okay?" I asked

She nodded and then looked at me "Thank you for everything" She said

"It was nothing; all that matters is that you're fine, okay?" I said looking at her in the eyes.

She nodded and then came close to me. She kissed my cheek "Goodnight" She whispered and went inside.

I was shocked. Anna the girl, who hates me, who can't bear to see my face, who will do anything to get rid of me, just kissed my cheek. Maybe she was grateful to me for comforting her or maybe it was a goodnight kiss. Whatever it was, I just got kissed by Anna Black under the moonlight. The most romantic kiss ever. A romantic kiss under the moonlight bliss.
