Star's POV:
My eyes, slowly open. Where am I? Am I dead?
I sit on the bed scanning the room. Wow… this is a room? A chandelier, grand piano, flat-screen tv… Woah…
And this bed… I glance at the bed with shock. This is big enough to accommodate six people! Plus, the canopy curtains are a nice touch. Guess being dead isn't that bad.
"Finally awake huh?" A male voice asks as I swirl my head towards the sound.
A guy around the age of 18 with a fair complexion sits on a couch not far from me with a calm deposition. His sky blue hair shines making it seem almost white against the sunlight shining through the window.
How long has he been here?
"How long have you been here?" I ask in curiosity as he opens his eyes.
"Since a few minutes ago." A few minutes ago? How did I not notice him coming through the door?
"You're very lucky," He said after a couple of minutes of silence. "If you haven't met me, you would've surely died."
What? Died?
(Flash):
"Help… me…" My eyes open to see mismatched eyes as everything fades into darkness.
(Flash)
What the?
He walks towards me with a neutral expression. Luminous gold and silver eyes make my heart stop. Those eyes…
"You saved me?" I tilt my head as he crosses his arms.
"Yes,"
His face… is very handsome but why is it like a mask?
He hands me a black pill and a glass of water. "Swallow this, it will help with your stomach wound."
A hiss escapes my lips as I briefly touch it. Ow! But this pill… how do I know that this isn't some poison?
"If you're worried it's a poison, don't be." He directs his gaze towards the window. "Why would I waste my time to save you just to kill you?"
True… I glance at him with my eyes narrow. That would seem useless and from speaking to him these last few minutes, he doesn't seem like a person that would do that.
"Thank you." I mutter as I swallow the pill and gulp down the water.
"No need to thank me. If you really want to thank someone, thank yourself."
"What?" Thank myself?
The door opens and enters two beings. A man around thirty with jet black hair and mismatched eyes that are dark green and red.
A woman stood next to him with pale blue hair and luminous golden eyes that radiate warmth as she smiles at me.
"I see that she's awake."
"Mother, Father, how was the meeting?"
Ah, so he's their son.
"It went well." His father replies with a slight smile.
Meeting? What are they talking about?
"Excuse me," I said as they turn their heads to me. "Who are you three?"
The woman smiles softly. "I guess we should introduce ourselves." She giggles and gestures to the man beside her. "This is my husband. He's also the King of this world."
"This is my son, Astral, the Prince and you can probably guess who I am."
Prince, Queen, King… wow… I'm in the presence of royalty. Uh-oh!
My eyes widen as I got ready to kneel when a hand stops me. I blink as I look into his beautiful eyes. Those eyes… why do they look so familiar?
"Don't."
"But-"
"You're injured." He simply stated. "No need for formalities."
Again with the neutral tone of voice.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
I sat on the bed once more as his parents glance at each other. "If you don't mind me asking," The King said. "What's your name?"
My… name? Hm… A throbbing pain in my cerebral cortex made me hiss and shut my eyes tightly. Why does it hurt so much?
What is my name?
"My name?" I ask once again as they look at me concerned. "Star."
At least I think that's my name. Why can't I remember anything else? Who am I?
"Star," A male voice snaps me from my thoughts as I glance at him. "You're probably wondering why can't remember anything right?" Is he a psychic?
I nod. "You have temporary amnesia."
"Amnesia?" I repeated as his father nodded.
"Our son found you at a bottom of a cliff 2 days ago."
Two days ago?! "I have been unconscious for two whole days?" I utter in shock.
"Actually, it's been 48 hours and 89 seconds since I found you." He said as I stare at him in awe. Wow… impressive.
"Is there any way to recover my memories?" I ask after a moment of silence.
A clink rings throughout the room as he places his cup down. "That all depends on you." He crosses his arms. "Do you really want to remember?"
My head nods rapidly. "Yes. I feel like I'm forgetting something very important." I clutch my head as a throbbing sensation flows through my skull. Why does it hurt so much?
"Revenge."
I look up to meet his gold and silver eyes. "W-What?"
"You said you must stay alive to take revenge on a certain someone." He bores his eyes into mine. "Have you forgotten?"
Revenge…!
(Pulse)
"Ah," I rub my temples shutting my eyes tightly.
(Flash):
…The scent of blood assaults my nostrils…
(Flash)
…A figure of a girl rocking back and forth next to a boy…
(Flash)
…A dark room as wails radiate from the rooms next door. Both figures shake uncontrollably covering their ears…
(Flash)
W-What… My hands tremble as my mouth goes dry. What did I just see? Were those my memories? Why were they so… disturbing?
"Judging by your reaction, you saw some less than pleasant things."
I slowly nod as his mother sighs. "Son, don't push her to remember. Especially if it is unpleasant."
He shrugs. "That was a trial and error. That fact that word resonated with her concludes that she suffered a lot prior to me saving her," His eyes drift back to mine. "Isn't that right, Star?"
"I…"
"Hey Astral," A female about the same age as me enters with dark blonde mid-length hair and hazel eyes. "Have you seen my…" She trails off and curtsies.
"Your Majesties,"
"No need to be so formal, Maria."
So her name is Maria. "I see that she's finally awake."
He nods. "Star, this is Maria and she's the daughter of the Prime Minister."
"Maria, this is Star."
"Pleasure to meet you, Lady Maria."
She grins. "Pretty formal huh?"
A hand pokes his shoulder with a grin. "Kind of like you when we first met."
His mask breaks as a small smile appears on his lips with a chuckle. "Yup."
So he can smile… I thought in awe as I look at them.
"Anyway, have you seen my hairbrush?"
He raises an eyebrow. "Why are you asking me for your hairbrush?"
"That night remember?"
That night?
His eyes light up. "Oh um, I believe it's in a drawer. Let me look for it."
He rummages through the drawer with a smile. "This it?"
"Thanks!" She pecks his cheek as he ruffles her hair.
Well… never mind then. Their relationship is pretty clear.
"No problem."
"Your Majesties," A butler came in and kneels. "It's time for the meeting."
The Queen sighs in exhaustion. "Again?"
The King rubs her shoulders. "Astral, Maria, entertain her while we're gone."
"Yes, Father."
"Yes, Your Majesties."
Actually… I'm going to wing it. "Your Highness?"
"As I said, just refer to me by my name."
"Alright, I have a question."
"And that is?" She asks in curiosity.
"Are you two-"
The door opens again revealing an 18-year-old woman with porcelain skin, side-swept bangs, and long midnight black hair that extends to her mid-back. Her long eyelashes flutter making her shimmering purple eyes more prominent. She's wearing a light blue mini skirt with a loose white blouse tucked in.
Quite the get-up. She walks towards us with a smile. "Astral did you miss me?"
He gapes at her outfit with a shocked expression. "Lily, what's with the get-up?"
"Yeah, why are you so dressed up today?"
She sighs and throws her black purse on the couch with and tired look. "My parents forced me to dress up."
"Why?"
"They set me up on a blind date."
That certainly explains why. "Ooooo!" She exclaims excitedly. "How was he?"
She looks at her with a deadpanned expression. "Horrible."
He pours her a cup of tea. "Surely it can't be that horrible."
She laughs. "You really want to know?"
I plop myself next to Maria as she looks at me curiously. "This is Star," He explains. "I found her at the bottom of a cliff."
"Star, this is Liliana, the General's daughter."
A smile crosses my face. "Pleasure to meet you, Lady Liliana."
She returns the smile. "Please, refer to me by my name."
I shake her hand as I notice a diamond ring on her left fourth finger. Huh? Isn't that finger for your wedding ring?
My gaze shifts to his left hand and sure enough, a plain band is on his ring finger as well.
Are they married?
"Anyways, you won't believe how horrible that guy is."
"I think you're exaggerating." He said as she whines and interlocks her fingers with his.
"I swear, he's horrible."
"Ok, how horrible is he?"
"First of all, when I got there," She starts as we listen attentively. "He acted pretty nice. You know, standard gentleman."
"But the more he and I conversed the more I became uncomfortable in his presence."
"Meaning?" I ask in confusion.
"Get this, he has 2 wives!"
Maria gasps. "No way."
"I know right?" She exclaims in agreement. "And it gets worse."
"How?" I asked getting more and more intrigued.
"He wants to make me his third wife."
My eyes widen. Unbelievable. "He already has two! Why would he want a third one?"
"Exactly!" She exclaims rising her voice gulping down her tea. "And he's not even good-looking."
"Plus, he keeps looking at me strangely." She mutters as he snaps his gaze to her.
"Strangely?" His eyes narrow dangerously as I shiver. What is this ominous vibe?
She nods. "Yea, for some reason he keeps staring at me and licking his lips slowly."
Our eyes widen. Oh god…
"Did he do anything else to make you uncomfortable?" He asks with a serious tone.
"Uh… no. I think that's it although…"
"Although what?" Maria asks as her eyes narrow.
"He keeps touching my hand. I would've broken it if it wasn't for my mother. She said that I should be polite and ladylike."
Note to self: don't get on her bad side. My hands are at risk.
At least it was only her hand and not anywhere else. "What happened next?" I ask as she sighs.
"I got highly uncomfortable so I made up an excuse and rushed over here as quickly as I can."
The room is dead silent as she finishes her story. Note to self: Don't go on a blind date. Some men are horrible.
A sigh escapes his lips. "Stand up."
She tilts her head. "Why?"
"Just stand up."
She slowly stands in front of him as he examines her from head to toe with a calculating gaze.
"Um… Astral?" She asks in uncertainty as he slides his hand down his face slowly.
"Ok, no more blind dates for you."
"You think I want to go on blind dates that badly?" She sits next to him holding his arm. "My parents set it up for me."
"Don't worry, I will speak with them."
Her eyes light up. "Really?"
"Yup."
"I love you!" She pecks his cheek excitedly. "You wouldn't believe how many times I tried to convince them not to set me up on these dates."
He laughs and plants a kiss on her cheek as well. "Love you as well, darling."
Ok… so, rings + pet names +'I love you' = Marriage.
So that means… she's the Princess Consort!
Liliana's POV:
"Baby," I flutter my eyelashes at him. "Can you take me shopping?"
He blinks. "Why?" Isn't it obvious?
"And don't call me that in front of people." I glance at Maria and Star who simultaneously looked away innocently.
"I want to get my mind off that blind date."
"Hm…"
"Please, my love?" I whine swinging his arm back and forth with a pout.
"Didn't we shop last time?"
"That was weeks ago."
He blinks still not getting it as I pout pushing him down on the couch and hugging his chest as his eyes widen. "Please, my beloved?"
"I-I will take you shopping if you get off me." He stutters with a sigh of defeat.
"Hah, I knew you would see it my way, baby," I laugh as I got off him.
"Ahem, what did I just say?" He looks at me expectantly. Ohhhhh.
"Sorry," I latch onto his arm as he got up. "Force of habit."
He pokes my forehead a bit, shaking his head. "Just don't call me that in front of the guys."
I nod. Guess pride has something to do with this.
"I would love to join you but I have to visit my parents a bit." My friend said as she got up.
"Have fun without me!" She said hugging me.
"I will."
"You know that I meant it sarcastically right?"
I giggle and poke her shoulder. "I'm kidding. There's no way I will have fun without you."
She shakes her head with a sigh. "See you later, Star."
"See you later as well, Maria."
My friend smirks and casually wraps her arms around his neck as my eyes widen. Huh?!
She pokes his chest stroking it a bit with a flirtatious smile. "And I will see you later tonight, my love."
He rolls his eyes with a chuckle as she gave him a lingering kiss on his cheek. "See you later as well, Maria."
My friend walks out the door winking at him as he smiles laughing to himself.
What on earth was that?! Did things change in two weeks?
My eyes widen. What if… I pull him closer by the waist. "Honey, what was that all about?"
"Huh?" He dares 'Huh' me?!
I bit the inside of my cheek. What on earth is this feeling? Why am I angry and sad at the same time?
"Never mind."
He blinks in confusion as I bit my tongue. What is this? Why am I feeling this way?
"Please, pardon my rudeness, Princess Consort." She said as my eye widen. Princess Consort?
Hmm… I glance towards him with a mischievous look as his eyes widen. "Don't mention it."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
I waved a hand dismissively. "Please, don't call me by Princess Consort. Call me by my given name."
She gaped as I stifle a laugh. "But-"
"It's fine, Star," I said as she looks at me. "I prefer my real name over a title anyway."
Her eyes shift towards him as he subtly nods. She bit her lip as if conflicted.
"It would be highly disrespectful to refer to your real name, Your Highness."
I let out a soft sigh. This is to be expected. "Alright, it's your call."
Let's see… if she has amnesia…
"Hey, do you want to go shopping with us? It could help you remember some things about your past!" I ask excitedly as I look at her.
"Sure, I'd be glad to join!"
"Is that alright with you, baby?" I said smiling as he roll his eyes with a slight smile.
"I don't see why not." He said after a moment of silence. "And when we go out in public, don't refer to me like that."
"Aw… but it suits you perfectly!"
He just sighs while I laugh and poke him. Adorable.
Time skip to shopping:
"This is the best! I get to spend as much money as I want!" I exclaimed happily. Let's see… what should I buy first?
"Oh no no no! We are not going to repeat that situation. Remember the last time?" He said with a slight smile on his face. Oh yeah…
"Pfff..." I scoffed while waving my hand dismissively. "Last time was last time."
"What happened last time?" Star asks as she looked at us.
"She spent a lot of money on clothes and other accessories that she had to take out money from the castle. Which I got in trouble for." He said, glaring at me.
I turned to him with an innocent smile. "It's not my fault that you ran out of money."
His eyes widen. "You were the one who wanted to buy that sword which if I remembered correctly was $1000."
"It was a highly tempting offer." I countered. "And besides, didn't you buy one as well?"
He blinked. "Yea, but I didn't buy all the other things. That was all you." True…
"What did you expect me to do? You invited me to go shopping."
He shot me a deadpan gaze. "I invited you?" He laughs a bit. "You burst into the courtroom where a meeting was held with all of the officials to discuss something important and dragged me out of there without even explaining my parents."
…
Oh. "I did offer you an explanation though."
He raised a brow. "That was later. All you said was 'My love, let's go.' Like that was going to explain anything. Not to mention, everyone was dead silent as that happened."
"Hey!" I yelled in an accusatory tone. "You said that you were bored and wanted me to help you escape."
"But dragging me out of the room wasn't exactly what I had in mind. If anything, it raised more questions than answers." He responded. Whatever. All that matters is I did my part.
"Still, I successfully got you out of that room didn't I?"
"I suppose you got a point…" He said putting his hand on his chin.
"So that means that I get to spend your money right, baby?" I ask batting my eyelashes a bit as he chuckles and poked my shoulder.
He glanced around a bit. "What did I tell you about calling me that in public?"
"But it's our thing," I whined.
"At least drop the y."
Hmmm… "Babe!" I latched to his arm with a smile.
"Much better."
I rolled my eyes as I pecked his cheek. "You and your pride."
"It's not my pride. It's the reputation I have to uphold as the Prince." True… he will be the future king after all.
I nod. "I guess you have a point."
"Anyway, getting back on topic, I get to spend your money."
"It's my money."
I let out a giggle. "In the end, does it really matter whose money it is?" I said poking his cheek. "Your money is like my money."
He lets out a soft sigh. "Fine, but if you get in trouble with my parents again, that's on you this time."
I latch onto his arm holding it closer to my body and lean on him. "You wouldn't have the heart to make me take all of the blame would you, my love?" I said while smiling at him innocently.
We looked at each other as I pout, blinking and tilting my head at an angle. Hopefully, this works on him, or else I'm doomed for a yelling from my parents.
He sighs after a couple of minutes. "Fine,"
I grinned as I held his arm closer. "I knew you wouldn't be that cruel to throw me under the bus like that!"
"But," He said in a warning voice. "Try to conserve your money usage this time around."
"Of course. I wouldn't want you to get in trouble again."
"You better not." He mutters as he looked at me.
"Your Highnesses," She chimes in. "If I can interrupt?"
He nodded as she smiles. "I can see that you really love each other."
We blink and glance at each other. "Why would you assume that, Star?" He asks in curiosity.
She giggles. "It's quite obvious with the way you two are acting with one another." The way we act… huh…
An arm snakes around my waist pulling me closer as my eyes widen. "Of course I love her." He said smiling gazing into my eyes. Love…
My heart quickens as I could feel my face heating up. What is this strange feeling?
"She's my wife after all. Isn't that right?" He winks as my eyes widen. He's playing along?
Well then, in that case… A grin crossed my face as I gave him a lingering kiss on the cheek. "I love you as well, my dear husband!" I wrapped my arms around his chest as a chuckle escapes him.
"Ooooo new clothes! Let's go Star!"
"Hey honey, come on. Hurry up!" I said dragging his hand into a clothing store.
"I don't get why females like shopping so much." He said muttering to himself.
"You will never understand the importance of it because you're a guy," I said as I looked around the store.
"Just hurry up this time. Remember last time, we were here till night time." He said.
"You can't rush these things. This takes time and effort!" She said. Exactly!
"She's right, my love. If you don't want to stand, go over there and sit." I said while pointing at a bench.
He sighs as he looks at me. "The things that I do for you," He mutters under his breath as I giggled.
He went over to the chairs and sat looking bored. Hmm… maybe I should get him something to pay him back.
My eyes widen as I notice something missing. Don't tell me… I smacked my forehead gently at the great blunder I made.
"Something the matter?" She asks in concern.
"I left my purse at the palace," I muttered quietly as she laughed.
"Wow, who knew you were so forgetful."
"Hey!" I exclaimed as she giggled some more.
"Ok," She looks at my friend who is being approached by two people.
"Why not ask him to lend you some money?"
My eyes lit up. "That's an amazing idea, Star!" Hmm… how should I go about doing this?
I walked up to him and sat down on the bench hugging his arm as he looks at me in confusion. "Are you already done?" I haven't even started yet.
"Baby," I said sweetly as I pulled him closer by his arm.
He blinks. "What are you doing?"
I smiled. "This is a little embarrassing for me to ask but can I have your wallet?" I ask in the sweetest voice that I can muster up.
"Did you forget to bring money?" He asks after a couple of seconds of silence as he laughed.
"Hey!" I yelled. "It's not funny."
He chuckles and shook his head. "It's pretty comical."
I shot him a glare as he took out his wallet. "Now," My friend said in a serious voice. "I expect you to spend a reasonable amount."
"Of course, I will," I said as he handed me the wallet. "Besides, your money is like my money," I said in hopes of reassuring him.
"For some reason, that's not making things better." My friend muttered as I lightly punched his shoulder.
"You act like I'm going to spend all of your money or something," I said with a laugh.
He smiled. "With you, anything is possible."
"What's up with this charade you're playing?"
Oh… I let out a giggle and lean my head on his shoulder. "She referred to me as your Princess Consort so I figured I should play along to see how it goes."
My friend eyes me with a slight smile as he gently interlocks his hand with mine. "You and your ridiculous plans."
"Hey!"
"It's true." He chuckles as I leaned into his chest and he wraps his arms around my stomach.
"Seriously though, you're so reckless."
What the? "Oh? Explain."
He lets out a sigh. "You refer to me as your husband so casually."
"So?" Is there something wrong with that?
"Don't you think that's going to cause even more rumors about us?"
True… many rumors are circling. "Who cares? It's just false."
"Plus, I thought you didn't care about what others think about you."
"I don't but these rumors affect the two of us."
"Aw!" I glance up at him with a smile. "You care about me?"
He pecks my nose a bit as I can feel my face heat up once again. What is this odd feeling?
"Of course, I care about you." He tightens his arms around my stomach and grasps my hands. Why is he so touchy today? Usually, I initiate physical contact.
"I love you, you know that my husband?" I stare up at him as he locks gazes with me.
"That's the second time you called me that." He chuckles.
"Can't I refer to you as my husband?" I tilt my head to the side, smiling sweetly.
"You can, yes but don't you think it will cause a misunderstanding?"
"As I said, if people think we're lovers, then let them."
His eyes widened as a look of realization flashed on his face. His lips curve into a smile. "I love you, my wife." He said softly as my heartbeat quickens.
What on earth is happening to me? Am I having a heart attack?!
A look of concern crossed his face. "You okay?"
"I-I…" Why am I stuttering?
"Ahem, yup!" I clear my throat with a smile as a serene expression appears on his face.
"Aw! Those two look so cute together!" A bystander looks at us stifling a laugh.
"I know right?"
"I can see the love in their eyes!"
Great… just as I expected.
"Hey," I glanced up towards him. "Are you uncomfortable with the rumors? Because if you want, I can-"
"I don't mind it." I cut him off hastily as he blinks blankly.
"Are you sure?" He raised an eyebrow as I nodded.
"It doesn't bother me one bit, my beloved."
He leans down with a smile as my heart thumps violently in my chest. W-What is he…
Our faces are inches apart. I gulp as my face heats up and butterflies flutter in my stomach as he leans closer. I-Is he…
His soft breathing tickles my nose as he gently rubs our noses together and I could hear squealing from the female bystanders.
My breathing grew heavy as I close my eyes with a smile as we continue to rub our noses together. Why is it beating so fast?
Our eyes, slowly open. I stare into his beautiful heterochromatic eyes. The faint scent of sandalwood and jasmine fills my nostrils making my heart skip a beat. He smells so good… what the?! Where on earth did that thought come from?!
My friend sat up straight as I look away. W-What is happening to me? Am I ill?
The bystanders all disperse and went about their businesses as I tried to steady my heart rate. Calm down… it was just a nose rub. That's all… but… Argh! What on earth am I thinking?! He's my best friend. He's off-limits.
Got to break this awkward silence somehow… "S-So, not that I mind but what's up with the physical contact lately?"
"Can't I show my affection to my wife?" He asks as my heart flutters even more. Darn it! Stop fluttering!
"Of course, you can but usually you go out of the way to avoid it."
Then I added, "Also, I thought we agreed on nose rubs in private."
He shook his head with a chuckle and wraps his arms around my stomach comfortably. His slow and calm heartbeat relaxes me as all sense of time and space ceases to exist. What is wrong with me today?! This is so frustrating!
"To answer your second question," He began while stroking my hair affectionately. "Yes, we agreed nose rubs will happen in private but that doesn't mean it always has to be private, you know?" He smirks as I gulp. So… yes! I can do it in public!
"And as for your first question, why would I avoid touching you?"
I shrug cluelessly. "I don't know. Maybe it's because you minimize physical contact with other people so I guess you would do the same to me." I mean like it makes sense why he would-
"I may avoid contact with others but never you."
Huh? I look up at him. "Why?"
"Because you're important to me and I love you." He shoots me a soft smile as my heart race once again. Love… No no no! What am I thinking?! He means it in a platonic sense. He is just my best friend.
My face heats up as I cup his cheek. "I love you too, Astral," I whisper making his eyes slowly widen. Why is his expression like that?
A hand ruffles my hair softly with a tender smile and a newfound emotion in his eyes. What is that look he's giving me?
That gaze… why does it look so… loving? Is that the term for it?
"A-Anyway," I stutter breaking the silence between us as he unwraps his arms around my stomach.
"I should go and buy some things."
"Try not to spend all of it."
I roll my eyes and lean in to give him a soft nose rub. "Like I'm ever going to do that."
A tint of light crimson dusted his cheeks as I back away stifling a laugh. How cute.
"Just a reminder that's all." He mutters as I walk away with his wallet in hand.
(Flash):
"Because you're important to me and I love you."
(Flash)
Ack! What am I thinking? Why am I thinking of those words?! I must be going crazy!
2 hours later:
"Finally, are you two done yet?" He asks.
"Yes, we are," Star said.
He saw a bunch of bags beside me. His eyes widen as he looks at me in disbelief. I stifled a laugh as I looked back at him. Wow.
"Seriously Lily?"
"What? I love shopping okay?" He sighs in frustration as he facepalmed.
"How are we even supposed to get all of this home?" My friend exclaimed in shock as he looks at the pile of bags before him. Perhaps we went a bit overboard…
I let out a nervous giggle as I looked at my friend who sighed and started to pick up the bags. I went overboard this time… oops!
We all took a couple of the bags and placed them in on our arms as I materialize a parfait that I paid for at a store. Hopefully, he will like it.
My friend glanced at me. "Is that a parfait?"
I nod. "Yup," I responded as I gave it to him.
He blinks. "How am I supposed to eat it when I'm holding all of this stuff?" Oh… true…
Hmm… I handed all my bags to him as he stumbles under it all. "Hey!"
I held the parfait and scooped some up in a spoon. "Say ah!"
My friend blinks as he opened his mouth and ate it smiling.
"It's good right?"
He nods as I fed him another spoonful. "Did you two eat yet?"
"We already ate." She replied.
"Anyways, let's go home." My friend said as we walked back to the palace.
"Baby, I have a surprise for you," I said as I look at him.
"We're still in public, darling." He glances at the surroundings as I let out a huff.
"Can't I show affection to my husband in public?"
"Well, there's no law that says you can't." She said as I grinned. That's right!
"Baby!" I exclaimed loudly attracting the attention of many people in the vicinity.
He stares at me in disbelief as I kissed his cheek. Who cares about reputation.
He slowly slid his hand down his face with an exasperated expression as people around us giggled.
"Having you in my life is already a surprise." He mutters under his breath as I shot him a look. Why you little...
I punch him in the arm playfully. "What did you just say, my love?" I said as I narrow my eyes at him.
"Nothing." He said quickly as I fed him another spoonful. I thought so.
"What is it?" She asks me.
"I'm staying with you for a while!" I said excitedly as her eyes lit up.
"That's great!"
My friend raises a confused eyebrow and looks back and forth at the two of us.
"Something wrong?"
Her eyes widened. "Nothing's wrong, Your Highnesses, but…"
"But what?" He ask as she bit her lip.
"Star, I'm not a snob who can't handle a simple question," I stated as she nods.
"Your Highnesses, aren't you married?"
Married?! I thought in disbelief as I met his gaze. Hm… well…
"Yes," He responded. "Why do you ask?"
"Well… I might have amnesia but don't usually marry couples live together?"
They do… My eyes shifted towards his as he smiles.
"Of course, we live together." He laughs. "She was visiting her parents a bit that's all." Who knew he is such a good liar.
She nods in understanding. "Ah, that makes sense."
"Are you excited, my love?"
"Baby, you already practically live at the palace with the number of times you visited me over the years." This is the first time he called me baby! Yay!
I laughed a bit. "So, I take it that your happy that I'm here?" I ask while looking at him.
He nodded. "You could say that." He said vaguely as he walked past us. What does he mean?
"What do you mean by that?" I ask him as I flew up to him and he smiled at me.
"Come on, hurry up ladies!"
"Okay we're coming we're coming!" She said.
"But you still haven't told me what you meant," I said as he kept on walking. Is he ignoring me? The nerve of him!
