Louisseena

Chapter 8

Bruce patiently waits for the chef to exit the kitchen doors. Out emerges a lady who is about 164cm tall, her skin a little tan but seems to have gone pale from being indoors all the time. She has long black hair tied in a ponytail. Her ponytail had nice natural waves and moved so slightly as she walked towards him. She had a pink half apron on with a little black kitten on the bottom corner over her clothes.

The clothing she wore seems a little baggy for her, therefore you can’t really see her figure. He stared at her all the way from the kitchen to right in front of him. He closed his eyes and breathed in the air around her fully before exhaling out and asked her what her name was.

Nana POV:

I quickly tiptoe dance towards the kitchen doors and make my way out to the table. Oh freaking dear, what have I done to his food? Why is he calling for me? I took a full look at him as I was swiftly walking towards him to stop him from waiting.

All I got to say is that he is one handsome royal. He is well dressed, clean and shaven. He even shaved his head… wait… I think he is bald. I’ve never ever seen a handsome bald man like him before. Can lycans be bald? He had muscles in his arm and chest in all the right places, like he works out a lot. He looks like a really strong man. Of course he is Lou ! He is a royal lycan, of course he is strong. He seems to also really smell very very pleasant. Maybe it is the cologne he used. As I reached his table, I saw him closing his eyes and taking a deep breath before opening it again. I quickly looked down.

Gosh, he must have been so mad at me, at my food. He must be fuming with anger. I think I had over-tenderized the meat, it must have turned out like some chewed on food. The next moment, I heard him ask for my name.

“Louisseena, your royal highness”, I answered, doing a curtsy along with it. He repeated after me, “Louisiana”. I contemplated on whether to correct him. That wasn’t how my name was pronounced, that’s partly why I hated my long and complicated name. But you for sure don’t want to argue with a prince, much less correcting him. Whatever he says, you have to accept that. Even if he pronounces your name wrongly, I guess that’s my new name now, I chuckled a bit in my mind. 

Bruce POV:

“Louisiana”.

Louisiana is her name. This lady that I just met face to face smells so beautiful. The way she dresses is so cute with her apron. Even when she’s just wearing ordinary clothes. Something tells me that she is more than just a nice smelling werewolf. She is …. “Mate”. I heard the beast inside of me call out hungrily.

“So, tell me what was this?” I gestured to my plate which I’ve almost finished. It was the most wonderful meal I had today. The food I had back at the baby shower was awful. Full of cupcakes and muffins, what not. There wasn’t any real food there. It seems the sweets were just there for decoration instead. 

I see her right hand crunching her left hand’s fingers as she replied, “ we have the er beef tender steak and er the mashed potato. Cheesy truffle mash potato.” I took a full look at her being nervous. She’s so cute this way, being fidgety. I touched the side of my head as I always do since I’m bald, it always comes as a second nature to touch it. 

“Good. The food is good. I’ll be back tomorrow and I want the same thing. Just remember to put the peas next time.” I said as I put the last spoon of mash into my mouth and stood up to exit the diner. 

Nana POV:

Oh my goddess ! The prince just asked what this is. I have to answer him before he gets suspicious. I’m holding my hands together to stop myself from waving it around like some awkward salesperson pointing to the obvious what the food was. Steak and mash, what it is, it is.  Somehow my voice came out higher than usual, like I’m doing a presentation.

“Good. The food is good. I’ll be back tomorrow and I want the same thing. Just remember to put the peas next time.” As soon as he finished his last sentence, my insides turned. 

SHOOTS ! I forgot about the peas. I was so focused on the steak and mash that I have totally forgotten about the veggies. Ughhh Before I was composed enough to reply Yes Your Highness, he had already left the diner.
