4285 Words
Daisy : Hmph.....she couldn't even say thanks! I'm doing her a favour. "Daisy?!" I heard the prince call out. I ran into the bathroom and turned on the shower, letting it run. I can't let him see me, he might look through me and know what I've done. "Come on out Daisy, I know you aren't bathing" the prince said, his voice coming from the door. Seeing there was no way out, I opened the door timidly and came out with my head down. "Now tell me why you lied?" He asked, using his fingers to raise my chin up. "I did?" I asked. "Stop replying me with questions" It was so hard to look at him in eye. "I heard your conversation" he replied "why did you do it?" "Because I love you" I blurted out senselessly. "Hmmmhhh.....you love me?" He asked throatily. Heavens! Did I just say that?! Gosh I'm so stupid.. I stopped thinking about everything else when he placed his lips on mine, kissing me slowly and yet very passionate. His scent filled my senses and everything that happened next was on impulse. "I think we should stop" he rasp out. He was lying on top of me on my bed. "No no, please don't stop" I said quickly, not wanting the moment to end. "Are you sure?" He asked even though his eyes was saying otherwise. I removed my blouse in response and felt him turn hard. I smiled triumphantly internally, glad at the effect I have on him. Gently, he stood clad in front of me, I moaned in pleasure as he sucked at my n*pples hard and used his tongue to play with them. The sensation was so much, I arched my bag, enjoying every bit of it. He rode inside of me slowly at first, then fast and placed soft kisses all over my body. Also, I stupidly kept whispering in his ears, telling him how much I love him and how I have strange feelings with him around. And so that's it, I helplessly got myself attached to the prince and fell in love. I guess I'll just have to be patient with him till he falls in love with me. One month later, I turned to him on the bed, my head lying on his bare chest while he stroked my hair after we finished having another round of a passionate s*x. "I love you" I told him, hoping to get a response this time but as usual, he pretended not to hear. "Did you hear me?" I asked. "Why aren't you saying you love me?" "Can we not talk about love?" He replied, kissing my forehead. "Who am I to you then? I want an honest answer." A small smile played on his lips and I let myself relax, maybe he really cares about me. " Someone I use to clear my head, that stops the voice, you're a means of distraction to get a break from my head." He said, the he froze as if realizing what he just said. Ouch that hurts, the truth really hurts. I gave a small laugh and looked at him intently in the eye "Glad I meant something to you then and I'm very useful" I kissed him lightly on the lips and left for my room sadly. Daisy : gave a small laugh and looked at him intently in the eye "Glad I meant something to you then and I'm very useful" I kissed him lightly on the lips and left for my room sadly. I smiled without emotion as made my way to my room. "I knew I was a fool but I never expected this" I said to him internally, "I gave my everything to you, even my body. I let myself be used by the devil but I can't keep up with this and continue getting hurt." I'm just some pun in his game. I made a call to the receptionist determined to put an end to everything. "Good evening Zena" I greeted "Hello Daisy, how may I help you?" "I want to quit, the prince is hopeless and can never fall in love" I said coldly over the phone, not wanting the emotions get into my voice. "Really?" She asked in surprise "Yeah" " Didn't you say....." "He's perfectly okay, doesn't need help." "Wow... that's great news" "Yeah I guess" "Send your account details, your reward will be forwarded instantly. There must be celebration, you must be very excited" "Yeah..... veeerrryyyy" I replied sarcastically and hung up. Reminiscing everything that has happened in my three months stay here. The prince : I didn't know I had said out what has been in my mind all this while, I wasn't until I had said it did I realize I've made a mistake. Even though she laughed a little, I can still see the pain in her eyes. I laid on the bed, thinking of what to say next so I didn't bother going after her. I went downstairs to the kitchen, hoping to see a meal on the table. I got to the dining and saw the table was empty, I entered the kitchen but there was no sign of her cooking. I sighed and head to her room. "Daisy?" I knocked, waiting for a few seconds. "Daisy?" I called out again then seeing I wasn't going to get a response anytime soon, I tried opening the door. It gave way, I entered the room and my heart plummeted down fast at the sight. Everywhere was empty, no sign of life. I rushed to wardrobe and saw it was bare, nothing was there. She left??? Just like that?? As I walked back to the door, I caught sight on a paper on the dressing mirror. I went over and opened it, reading it aloud. Dear Eric, I understand that you can't fall in love but I can't continue staying here and hurting myself. Every woman's dream is to fall in love and be loved and that's definitely my dream too. Though it hurts to leave you, I have to get rid of the feelings I know can never returned. Sadly, you'll always be my first love. Goodbye my love and hopefully when we meet again anywhere, we'd become good friends. Yours sincerely, Daisy. I crumpled the piece of paper in my fist, I know we can't be together forever but I didn't expect it to be too fast. Why can't she just be here and understand that falling in love is so scary for me? I walked towards the bed and laid on it, allowing myself to sleep there, imagining myself in her embrace. I woke up to the sunlight breaking in through the window and looked to my side as it has being my routine for the past one week, expecting to see her there. With each passing day, it hurts a lot not to see her, feel her body against mine, eat her meal, laugh at a joke together, watch movies or just even hold hands with her. If I go after her, what would be my reason? The voice in my head stopped, I feel normal once again but still incomplete, still missing out a puzzle piece. My phone rang, I answered and put it in my ears. "Hello" said into the phone, my voice hoarse since I haven't been doing much of a talking. "Eric dear, heard you're finally okay." "I'm fine mum" "The girl who was sent to you gave us feedback and she has been rewarded for the good work she did with you." I was silent for a moment, Daisy was after the money? Well I don't blame her, who wouldn't jump at the offer. "Can we proceed with the wedding with your betrothed then?" Mum's voice broke through my thoughts I thought for a while and said yes. Perhaps with my so called betrothed, I'll get my mind of Daisy and feel obliged to my bride instead. "She'll come spend the day with you then and we can proceed with the wedding anytime you want" "Can it be faster?" I asked. "How fast?" "Let's get married next tommorow" "Wow.... very good then. I'll work on it" she replied and hung up. My thoughts strayed back to Daisy, well maybe she was just really after the money. Her love had been for the money not me. Why do I feel more pained? I shook her out of my head and went to prepare for the meeting with my supposed betrothed. The prince: The doorbell and I ran towards it after taking a quick survey of the living room. Everything is perfect. I was dressed in a casual wears for the dinner with my betrothed. "Hey" she waved her perfect manicured fingers filled with golden rings each. "Hi" I answered and motioned for her to come in. As she passed, I caught a whiff of her perfume, the smell is very sharp and unpleasing unlike Daisy who always smell of vanilla and home and doesn't even need perfume to smell nice. I shook my head at the thought of comparing my betrothed with Daisy. I turned and led her to the living room, taking a seat opposite her. I looked at her face closely, she had too much make up unlike Daisy who doesn't need to enhance her features with anything artificial, She's always beautiful naturally and wouldn't dress flashy like the lady sitting in front of me. "You must be Eric I guess" she said, smiling broadly. Daisy wouldn't smile these broad and wouldn't ask silly questions. I shook my head hard to clear thoughts of Daisy and concentrated in the lady sitting in front of me. "Yeah" I replied giving a half shrug. "I'm Julie" she introduced "Nice name" I gave a small smile and opened the wine I set on the table. "Do you care?" "Yeah thanks" she answered. "So let's get to know each other" I attempted at a conversation. "Yeah sure" she took a sip and stared at me "I hate cooking, it gets on my nerves" I looked at her in surprise and stayed still as she continued "I love attending functions, that's the best. And yeah, I really love shopping. It's what makes my day and then our s*x life, well we'd do something about that when the time comes. We'd do it once in two months, that should work out right since you know, both of us aren't in for love" "Yeah yeah" I agreed in a daze, my thoughts strayed over to Daisy again and I found myself comparing every part of Julie to Daisy's. "Hellooooooo" Julie's soft voice broke through my thoughts. "Oh sorry, yeah everything will work out perfectly okay" I replied since I had no idea of what she had earlier said "we can proceed with the wedding then?" "Yeah we can but I have a function to attend next tommorow so can we shift it to tomorrow evening?" "Totally, I'll just have to call mum" "Where can I get a cup of coffee?" She asked. "You can brew the coffee yourself" I told, eyeing her a little as she scrunched up her face. "I have my fingers to protect. I can't brew a coffee" she lamented "Can you make one me?" I pursed my lips but stood up anyway to make her coffee. I'm just going to marry her to make my mind of Daisy and start working. Daisy : "The prince is getting tomorrow evening" Tina exclaimed behind me. "That's good news" I replied and continued flipping through the TV channels. "Why are you sad? Shouldn't you be happy you did well?" Tina asked. I hadn't told her or my family what really happened in the prince's place and how I'm in love with him. "I'm happy for him" I blinked back the tears that threatened to fall. Tina eyed me dubiously but didn't ask any more questions. "Can we get a ticket to Russia asap?" I asked. "Why? We agreed on going on a vacation next weekend, why the sudden change of mind?" She asked. I shrugged in response "can we?" "Maybe you can, we'd join you there" "Perhaps we should relocated there"I suggested and left her room quickly to the living room where I left my phone. The instant I walked into the living room, my phone rang. I looked at the caller's ID and unwillingly answered. "The prince is getting married tomorrow!" The person said excitedly. "Why does everyone keep telling me that?!" I screamed in frustration. "Ouch, are you okay?" Zena asked. "No I'm not" I replied honestly "Want me to do anything for you?" "Yeah" I thought quickly "I want the fastest ticket to Russia" "Ohh hold on a minute" she said. I heard the taps of keyboard, she's probably checking the net. "I can only get you a ticket tomorrow's evening" "Can't something be done in the afternoon?" I persuaded. "I'm sorry no, only tomorrow evening." "Okay thank you, how do I pay you to book for the ticket?" "I'll take care of the expenses. It's the best I can do since you're not willing to collect your reward." "I told you I don't need it" I said firmly. "Yeah yeah" I'll send the ticket to your email, then you can print it out and take to the airport tomorrow. "Thank you" I said gratefully and hung up. The next day , I rolled my bags to the attendant and showed her my ticket. I was allowed entrance into the plane after the securities searched me. I sat beside the window with a very heavy heart, the prince will probably be in his wedding now. In the end, I only got hurt. All fault is on me. " The plane is leaving in ten minutes." A voice said through the speakers. The prince : I stood at the altar, looking at the woman before me in a white gown and all of a sudden, I saw Daisy standing far behind Julie with a sad face, looking at me with teary eyes. I tried shaking off the image but it didn't budge. A lone tear escaped from my eyes and I felt I was doing a mistake. "I understand you're shedding tears of joy, I'm a little happy too" Julie whispered to me. "Do you take this man, Prince Eric Harris, to be your husband, to be with him in times of trouble and happiness, through thick and thin till death do you apart?" "Yes I do" Julie answered The Priest turned to me "Do you take this woman, Julie Kells, to be your wife, be with her in times of trouble and happiness, through thick and thin till death do you apart?" He asked. I looked at Julie again, do I want to be with her through thick and thin till death do us apart? I knew my answer deep down so instead, I gently dropped her hands and looked at her intently. "No" I said in a loud voice, ignoring the gasp that arose from the audience, I ran out. Hoping to find Daisy, the only one in my thoughts. I drove recklessly to her house after receiving the address from my detective. "Hi, is Daisy in?" I asked the girl I saw, going straight to the point. "No, she travelled" "Where?" "Out of the country, to Russia" the girl replied. "Aren't you the prince?" "Can you call and tell her to wait?" I pleaded. "I'm sorry I can't, she boarded the plane about thirty minutes ago, they might have taken off" I turned around and entered my car, driving fast to the airport as I listened to Zena give out instructions. "Who are you search for again?" She asked through the phone. "Daisy" "Omg, I bought the ticket for her and told her I'll take care of the expenses since she wouldn't collect the reward from me" Zena said. I pressed the brakes hard "what did you just say?" "That I bought the ticket for her?" "No no, the other part" "Where she didn't collect the reward?" "She didn't?" I asked again. "Yeah, said she doesn't need it" Omg!!! I had judged too quickly. I hit on the accelerator and rushed into the airport. I went to first desk I saw "is Russia Air still on board?" "I'm sorry no, it took off seven minutes ago" she replied. I took an involuntary step backward, she left, I was too late. The prince : I went to first desk I saw "is Russia Air still on board?" "I'm sorry no, it took off seven minutes ago" she replied. I took an involuntary step backward, she left, I was too late. I left for the TV station and aired live on every channel in the world, including radio stations. I'm a prince so anything can be possible. The cameraman nodded at me, motioning for me to start. I cleared my throats and looked straight at the camera "I hope the Russian air can air, someone on the plane needs to hear what I'm about to say." "Daisy, I hope you can see or hear this where you are." ✈✈ The Aviation Computer room, "You're not going to believe this" A lady said with awed look to her colleague. "What's it?" Her colleague asked. "It's the prince, My prince Eric. Why does he look so sad though?" "What?" "Here, come have a look" Her colleague peered into the computer, different thoughts running through her head. Isn't he supposed to be wedding? What does he want to do? How can he be sad on his wedding day. "He mentioned Russian air. It can't be ours can it?" Her colleague asked. "I don't know but let's connect every Russian air flying to the radio so whoever he's trying to reach out to can hear" the lady said, tapping the keyboard with a lot of vigour, eager to do something for her long time crush even though she knows she might get into trouble with the higher-ups and her job is at stake. She watched with a broad smile as the prince's live voice is connected to every Russian plane flying. She plugged her headphones to the computer, not wanting to miss a word of what her crush is about to say. "Daisy, I hope you can see or hear this where you are." She heard the prince say. "Daisy is listening dear prince, say whatever you want to say." In the Plane : Everyone looked around, wondering what was happening when they heard a buzz in the speakers before a voice finally burst to life. "Daisy, I hope you can see or hear this where you are." Daisy's head shot up from the window she rested her head when she heard the voice. She can recognize the voice even in her sleep. How come I'm hearing his voice? I can't be hallucinating again can I? "How do I even start?" Eric continued. The murmurs in the plane quietened down. " Yeah, I know I said you're someone I use to clear my head, that stops the voice, you're a means of distraction to get a break from my head. That's really true." Daisy's heart shattered into more pieces, did the prince go online to mock me more? "When you left, you took a huge part of me with you. Anytime I wake up, I look to my side, hoping to see you or skip down to kitchen praying to hear you hum as you always do. Then I thought I could live with it, live without you, thinking that way, I won't get emotionally attached to you. Guess I've been deceiving myself, I've been attached even before I realized. She heard him take a deep shaky breath and she sat still, holding her breath, hanging on to every word he said. " I thought getting married will take you off my head but It's not going to work, nothing is ever going to work without you. You're my missing puzzle piece, the one that fills my void heart. You're the reason I look forward to every single day. I want to wake up everyday to you in my arms, snoring quietly. I no longer what love is but if everything I mentioned means love, then I don't want to let go but if it isn't, please come back and let me learn to love you. My Daisy Flower, I love you" he added in a thick voice, filled with emotions. The left the podium set for him and went back to the airport, hoping for a miracle, praying she forgives him and come back. The crowd roared in cheers everywhere the prince live show was played. Daisy's face was wet and she didn't even know until the person next to her said. "You must be the Daisy right? Give the prince a second chance" "It's too late, the plane is in air and I don't even have enough money to pay for my ticket back home." "Don't worry, when we land, I'll buy you the next ticket home" the lady smiled. Daisy nodded appreciatedly and suddenly, making Daisy want to cry more. She felt it, the crowds too felt it because a collective gasp arose from the people on board. Those in the first class and business part of the plane smiled softly as the plane made a U turn. She felt it, the crowds too felt it because a collective gasp arose from the people on board. Those in the first class and business part of the plane smiled softly as the plane made a U turn. "I hope y'all forgive me for turning but I'm a little too soft hearted" the pilot's voice came through the already silent speakers. The crowd cheered in approval. Why won't they? Each of them are glad they're going to save someone's love life and the incident of today will go down in history then they would proudly tell everyone till their grand and great grandchildren how they had saved the famous Prince Eric love life. The prince : I sat in the arrival terminal, waiting for a miracle. I tapped my back pocket, feeling the wooden box there. I had bought a ring on my way here just in case she comes back. If after waiting today and tomorrow, she doesn't come back, I still won't let her go. I won't mind searching for her even to the end of earth. I felt a hand on my shoulder "why didn't you tell me?" Mum asked. "I didn't know" She wiped her eyes and hugged me "she'll come back for you" mum reassured. I could only nod against her chest. "Hi" someone said awkwardly. I raised my head up in surprise at the voice. I stood up on impulse and pulled her into a hug. Hugging her felt like home, I didn't want to release her. "Do you really mean those things you said?" She whispered I smiled happily, ready to tease her but when I saw her serious and hopeful expression, I decided against it. Instead, I went down on both knees and produced the ring box from my pocket. I opened the box and stretched it forward to her "This shows I meant everything I said, word for word. Will marry me, my Daisy flower?" Her hands flew to her mouth in shock and her eyes glittered. Daisy : I stared at him with mixed feelings as he went down on both knees, think of what he was up to next. He reached in to his back pocket and produced a ring box. My heart hammered in my chest, almost deafening me. "This shows I meant everything I said, word for word. Will marry me, my Daisy flower?" He asked My hands flew to my mouth and I nodded continuously, not trusting myself to talk. I gave him my left hand to slide the ring into my finger. "My love" I thought and looked at the ring with shining eyes then pulled him up and was about to hug him when something or someone disrupted me. "Wake up Daisy and continue working!" Boss shouted, waking me up. I groaned, eager to continue with my dream but no matter how I try closing my eyes back to continue, nothing would appear. I stopped trying and looked at my ring finger in reassurance. Yeah, I actually did it, it wasn't a dream. I melt his icy heart with the fire in me, now we are one. "I told you to stop this work" Eric appeared in front of me. "Sweetheart" I jumped on him, planting a kiss on his lips. "I planned on resigning today. It was supposed to be a surprise but you spoilt it" I pouted. He pinched my cheeks playfully and held my hands leading me out after I dropped my resignation letter in the newspaper company I was working. I glanced at our interwined fingers as we called to Diners, a broad smile making it's way to my lips. "What are you smiling at?" Eric asked. "Nothing" I replied quickly, blushing. "Ohgawd.... I love you so much" he said. "I love you too Dear husband" Love is a beautiful bittersweet feeling, happening when you least expected. At times, you'd have to lose someone before you realize how much you love them only at times it might be too late. Let's learn to love and appreciate everyone around us and the ones we care about Melting his icy heart as finally come to an end even though I was tempted to continue the story by creating a plot twist
