Princes of Mischief

Dark Haired Girl

Roe

We were back to our hotel room but the chill is still there. I still can't shake the feeling. Something in me earlier doesn't want to leave Kremlin. The feeling of someone staring at me is an unusual yet pleasant feeling for me.

I took a shower and changed into my pajamas and went out into our room's balcony. I hugged myself as the cold wind sipped through my skin. Looking through the beautiful view calms me.

Candice joined.

"It's cold out here. I still don't understand how are you not affected by it." she said.

I gave her a sheepish smile, and said.

"The cold doesn't bother me anyway. "

She scowled.

"You did not just quote frozen on me." Candice grumbled.

I giggled.

Then Tricia joined us.

"Hey Roe. Your dad texted me. You're suppose to call him remember. " Tricia said.

I groaned and slapped my forehead.

There goes my over protective father.

We all went back inside our room. I went to my bag and grab my phone, and then I dialed my dad's number. He immediately picked it up on the first ring.

"Thank god! I thought you got lost or something!" My dad exclaimed.

"Hello to you too dad. " I said.

"Now don't get smart with me young lady. I thought I told you to call once you landed. But no. If I didn't text Tricia you wouldn't remember your poor father. " Dad ranted.

I rolled my eyes.

Then I heard my mom scolding my dad for being dramatic. Then she grabbed the phone from him.

"Hi sweetheart. Don't mind your overly dramatic father. I hope you're enjoying your trip. " My mom chirped.

"Yes mom. The hotel is fabulous. The whole place is just plain marvelous." I told her with much more enthusiasm.

"Good to hear. So have you met any boys yet?" mom asked.

Then I heard dad from the background shouting 'No Boys for my princess!!'

I let out a sigh.

"No mom. "

I heard her sigh.

"Oh. But that's okay. It's just your first day. I'm sure you'll meet some handsome European guys in no time." she said.

I face palmed myself.

That's my mother. Supportive yet kind of weird. She's been pestering me to find myself a boyfriend. She believes in the concept of soul mates. She always said that I have my soul mate somewhere out there. And we'll happily ever after.

But honestly, I doubt it. There is no happily ever after. It's just once upon a time.

I have not believed in that concept since I was a kid. All my memories are those of when I was still in the orphanage. I am an orphan that they found outside the gates of the orphanage. Growing up, I was a loner. I don't like to mingle with the other kids. They would always tease me, calling me names, pushing me. They said I was not normal because I enjoy being around animals, and I like being alone in the woods outside the orphanage.

But when the Monroe's came and adopted me, I started to feel normal again. They taught me to open up to people and be happy. I finally had friends. Tricia and Candice.

We just graduated from high school, and this trip is our gift to ourselves. One adventure before we go on separate ways for college.

My mom was thrilled when she found out that I would get out and travel. She always wanted me to explore. But dad on the other hand, he's been sulking since I told him about the trip. He said he doesn't want his princess to roam unfamiliar places unprotected. Dad has always been so over protective of me.

Mom continued to rant about me finding my soulmate, and I just let her. With the thought of how I felt in the Kremlin earlier fogging my mind.

Then my dad grabbed the phone from mom.

"Now princess. I want you to be careful all the time. Don't talk to strangers. Don't accept food from strangers. And don't hesitate to call the police if you got yourselves in trouble. But of course don't you ever get yourselves in trouble!" Dad went on.

I rolled my eyes.

"Yes dad I know." I said.

"I'll be good, I promise. I have to turn in now. I had a long day." I added.

I heard dad sigh.

"Ok fine. Just call me everytime you have time." He said.

"Sure dad. I love you."

"I love you princess."

And I hanged up.

"Your dad is sure a sweetheart." Candice said.

"I know right! " Tricia chirped.

I chuckled and walked towards my bed.

"Need to sleep, now. We still have places to see tomorrow" I said and climbed up in my bed.

"Oh yes! I'm so excited!" Tricia exclaimed, climbing into her bed.

"Me too! Please tell me are going shopping." Candice said.

I shook my head.

"Goodnight." Tricia and I said in unison.

Candice pouted and climbed into her bed.

I sighed and turned off the light. I laid down and made myself comfortable.

I hope tomorrow will be better than today. I thought before drifting to sleep.
