His Royal Arrogance

Chapter 5

Emerald woke up at 5am the next morning as usual. Being a Wednesday and a work day, She had to get up as early as possible to be able to beat the traffic. As her normal routine was, She woke up, folded her bed, that for the first time Ofcoarse, trudged to the bathroom, where She had to pass by Xiao hui's visitor. She paused and looked, he was dead asleep, half naked, if you Can call boxers partly dressed Ofcoarse. He had a tatoo on his left shoulder that went straight to his left arm, She was able to see this because Ofcoarse he was partly covered, what with the summer heat. She sighed as She let her eyes caress his long and muscled tanned body. He was Indeed a fighter, he looked so big on her small bed, Which wasn't that small Ofcoarse. She couldn't see his eyes, last night She wasn't in a peeking mood but this morning, apart from the constant reminder of what was in her stomach, She felt a bit better. She couldn't take her eyes off, time was rushing, take a picture bitch.... her subconscious taunted. "Not a bad idea," She whispered to herself in agreement and immediately went for her phone, She took two pictures of him, Yes, She was a psycho and saved them in her phone, threw it over her clothes and proceeded to the bathroom, brushed her teeth, showered, dried herself and dressed up from inside then came out and ordered for a taxi to the subway.

She put on some light make up as usual as She waited, five minutes later, She went downstairs giving one last look to the sleeping form of Marek. She smiled as She tasted his name on her lips. Hmm, sounded good. She agreed with herself and shook her head at her behavior. In the taxi, She removed the phone and looked at the pictures She had taken, She couldn't believe She had done it. That was like evading someone's privacy. If someone did that to her, She would totally go batshit crazy on their asses. She started to delete one then went onto the other and paused. She shook her head and stopped, No, She wasn't going to delete the last one.

“**，** **。” The Didi driver announced that they had reached the subway. She thanked him and got out. She rushed to the subway entrance and took the stairs entrance. She called it her morning exercise. Taking the stairs in the subway is the only way She did any strainous physical activity. So, She always refused to take the lift or the escalators. Liudaoko subway, especially in the morning didn't have a lot of people. So there was no pushing and shoving, Which happened on other subway stations. Thirty minutes later, She was in her kindergarten. She had just started working there, so She didn't know the other teachers well yet, but one day at a time. She smiled and went to her classroom door to welcome the students.

Marek woke up at midday. Firstly, he had jetlag, secondly, he was kind of hangover especially after over a year of abstaining from anything alcoholic then suddenly starting to drink like an addict, and thirdly, he hated Xiao hui's boyfriend. Don't get him wrong, he wasn't jealous. The guy was just a total dickhead, the way he saw him.

Xiao hui had told him that her classes started at 4:00pm, so he had enough time to start exploring. He had two freakin weeks to himself. Xiao hui had connected him to some other Polish friends, a boy and a girl. He would meet them later today and see how everything went. He looked around and there was no sign of Emerald. Probably had gone off to work. He wondered what time she left. He had looked around for another bed and had seen none. What had She slept on? He wondered with a frown as he went towards the bathroom. He hoped She wasn't sleeping on the floor or something. What with her being pregnant and all that. She really hadn't looked happy about her situation. Foolish guy who had been stupid enough to have a one night Stand without protection. Who does that! If he saw him, he would totally beat up his ass. Good enough he was supportive. He hated people who took advantage of other people. I mean, he wasn't perfect but he did what he could.

He returned from the shower and dressed up. He looked at his phone and found a message from Olive, the Polish Girl Xiao hui had connected him with. She told him to meet him at some restaurant nearby. He sent Xiao hui a message and She booked for him a taxi. He felt absolutely incapable of taking care of himself. Everything here was in Chinese, the people spoke Chinese, the directions were in Chinese, building names were in Chinese, there was no way he was going to survive alone here. He started to feel regret sipping through, but he wasn't going to let that ruin his holiday. Xiao hui told him the taxi had come so he went downstairs and saw the red taxi She had described. He entered and the man drove off. All the buildings looked familiar, there was no way he was going to take a walk by himself here. Because, If he did and he got lost, who would he ask for directions? The taxi reached 25 minutes later and he got out then texted Olive. She came to where he was and took him back to the restaurant.

Olive was your normal Polish Girl, beautiful, blonde hair and pretty eyes. They talked for some time but She was in a rush so she directed him to a park where a lot of foreigners went to. She also recommended some tourist places around Beijing. He thanked her and She left, they didn't order for anything, so Marek just started to walk on his way to where Olive had directed him. He had never gone up to one o'clock without food. He walked for sometime and as expected, he got lost and worst of all, couldn't see a foreign face around. He called Xiao hui and sent her his location. She ordered a taxi that found him there and took him to Olympic Forest park. He went inside the park and walked around, trees and trees and more freakin trees. No foreign face in sight. All he saw were Chinese people jogging to and fro. "You got to be kidding me." He Said through gritted teeth and found a nearby seat in the park. It was getting to 5pm and he was getting angry and even hungrier. What the hell did he bring himself into! What the f**k was he thinking, just packing his bags and deciding to visit a foreign country where he knew only one person who had little to no time of showing him around.

He had never felt this helpless. He was tired of contacting Xiao hui for everything freakin damn thing. All he needed to see was a foreign face. Turns out there were things money couldn't solve. Even with all the cash he carried around to spend didn't help. He couldn't buy a damn thing because he had no clue how to even start. There was only one last favor he was going to request from Xiao hui that day, after that, he was going to repack and return to his goddamn country. He removed his phone and dialled...
