Princess

Too close for comfort

Hey come in" I say as I step aside and allow him to come inside while trying to avoid the wtf look Brayden is giving me

"Brayden this is Mason we're doing our English assignment together. Mason this is Brayden my boyfriend" I say as Brayden takes a moment to size Mason up before his stance relaxes concluding that Mason is no threat to him

"I'll see you tomorrow babe" He says as he kisses me in a way that makes me think he's doing it for Masons benefit. My point is proven when he pulls away and stares directly at Mason before walking away

"Let's go to the study" I say to a bored looking Mason

"Sure whatever" he replies

"So I was thinking" I continue as we take our seats by the table "what if we both right separate essays on our opinions over the weekend and when we meet again Monday we'll discuss and choose the better one"I look over at him

"Yeah I think that could work" he replies a bit distractedly

"Got something on your mind" I ask trying to get it out of him

He looks as if he might respond but then shakes his head and changes the subject

"So I'm assuming that was prince charming huh princess" he says with a teasing grin

"Yes but his names Brayden" I say smiling

"How'd you meet him" he asks "No let me guess you've known him your whole life because your family knows his family and his basically the only guy you've ever hung out with"He says looking sure of himself

" Yes but that proves absolutely nothing"I reply

"It proves that your a princess and you do exactly what your told" He says

"Again there's nothing wrong with that" I argue

"Besides everything" He quips before turning to his book and beginning his essay

I wanna say something witty back but I can't really think of anything so instead I use the time to actually look at him. He looks especially good today wearing dark wash ripped jeans, a black tee and biker boots.He's black hair is pulled back into a manbun.As I study his face I notice a small scar that goes through his left eyebrow.

"Your staring again princess" He states without looking up

"I was not, I was just thinking while looking in your direction" I say smiling

"I don't think that's true" he says as he drops his pencil and looks at me

"Oh pray tell what is the truth" I say while he moves closer to me then as if connected by some outside force I feel my body move towards him until we're only an arms length away from each other

"I think you were checking me out" he says as he moves closer.Is it getting hot in here or is it just me I wonder

"Not true" I reply as I look into his eyes. The look in them is so intense that I can't hold his stare and have to lower my eyes.Big mistake because now I'm looking at his lips and they look so soft and kissable. I bite my lower lip to keep from smiling and in response I hear him take a sharp inhale

"I don't think prince charming would like this" he says as he lifts his hand and tucks a stray strand of my hair behind my ear.

The reminder of Brayden feels like a bucket of ice water dumped on me that makes me recoil.

What am I doing I think to myself as I get up and move away from the table to create distance between us.Its not enough cause he's still here and he's presence makes it hard for me to think straight

"I think you should go" I say as I try to calm down my breathing

He doesn't move and instead just sits there completely unfazed while I'm completely shaken up.For some reason this makes makes me upset

"Now!" I scream not looking at him

"I'll see you Monday" he says and then he grabs all his stuff and leaves the room a moment later I hear the sound of the front door slam shut.
