Once Upon A Princess

Chapter 15 - Let's Play a Game

We arrived at the house at noon so, eventually, the night had gradually come before we even know it because we were too busy arranging all of our things in our respective rooms.

Caroline's rest house was smaller than I have anticipated. She told me that her mom and dad was the only one who is using this when they wanted to get away from everything which is why it was small. Even so, I like it out here not just because of the ambiance of the place but because there was literally no one else but us here. So, what I meant to imply is that we could have fun in this place without anyone stopping us at all.

"Are you finished?" Caroline asked knocking at the door of the bathroom since I was changing into my bikini. Henry and Caroline were just outside the door waiting for me because they have already changed a while ago and so, I opened the door to let them judge what I was wearing and they immediately gave me a thumbs up after they scanned me from head to toe.

I was wearing a simple dark green bikini. It was a two-piece set and the panties were high-waisted ones so, it defines my curves even more. I decided to just wear a big t-shirt over it so that I could just easily throw it somewhere when I decided to have a swim in the sea or at the pool just right next to this house.

"Let's eat." I heard Nicolas call from the kitchen and that is when we decided to head there.

The house has only five rooms in total and I can't believe that the four of us manages to occupy it without any problem. It only has a living room, a kitchen, and a dining room in one space, a bathroom, and two bedrooms. One was the master's bedroom which the three boys were occupying right now because it was the biggest one and they should be occupying it since they are many in number. The other one on the other hand was the guest's bedroom which Caroline and I were occupying because it was only us two that will be sleeping there.

"Wow! They all looked delicious." Caroline said surprised to see all of the food on the table which brought me back to reality. I was surprised a little since I already have seen how capable Ethan is when it comes to cooking.

Goodness, the smell of his food is making my stomach turn.

Am I that hungry?

I have never been like this before. Ever since I tasted his food, I never got the chance to skip meals and it's scaring me a bit because of the diet that I should be following but... his food was too good! I couldn't resist but eat all of the food that he serves me.

We sat down hurriedly on the chairs and waited for him since he was still getting something from the oven and when he manages to put it on the table everyone froze. It was... cake!

"You managed to bake this that fast?!" Henry asked amazed, tasting it right that instant by getting a spoonful of it. His face says it all the moment it went inside his mouth.

"LET'S EAT!" Caroline then shouted in excitement and so, we dig into the food that Ethan have served us.

After we ate all of Ethan's food, the three decided to go to the living room and watch some television for a moment while they are waiting because I decided to wash the dishes yet Ethan stopped me because he insisted that he do it but I didn't let him.

I don't know why but there was something inside me, telling me that he might think that I don't do this kind of stuff because I have maids to do it at home. He must think that I have never done this and was scared that I might break all of the plates while washing them but... he is wrong. I have done some household chores in my life since I don't necessarily want to depend on my maids knowing that I can fulfill them easily. I just assign them or order them around when I can't do it anymore that is why I know a thing or two.

So, as a result, I was washing while he was wiping all the plates. I plan to finish this task fast but it's as if time was moving slowly and I can't help but watch my every move when he is just right beside me.

"You're practically good at this." He said still wiping the plates.

"I am, indeed," I answered proudly and took off my apron and then put them aside because I was already finished.

"Do you need help?" I asked referring to the plates that he had wiped already since he hasn't returned them to their cabinets and he nodded in return.

"Please." He said smiling and just before I know it, I was already moving and returning them to their rightful place as the man continued to do what he was doing.

Yet, when I was about to return some of the plates that were supposed to be on the top shelf, I froze when he was just right behind me and snatched the plates from my hand to put them on the shelves. I could feel all of his body leaning against my back and I can't help but noticed something hard pressing against me.

"Done." He whispered towards my ears which sent shivers down my spine. I quickly glance at him and stiffens when he was grinning like a devil but faded away when he started to wipe the plates once again.

W-Who is this man?

And what... what did he do to my beloved Ethan?

Or... am I just imagining things?

Did I become a pervert?

"Hey! Let's go." Caroline stated which snap me back to reality. I was unable to notice that she was already right in front of me and the man who was with me a while ago was already in the living room talking to my brother as if nothing happened. I should just act like that too.

"What are we going to do by the way? It's already evening. Are we going to swim?" I asked nonstop and sweating at the same time. Caroline might have noticed me panicking because she quickly went towards me and suddenly put her hand on my forehead.

"Are you sick? You're sweating too much." She said and get some paper towels right next to her to wipe my sweat.

"I think... I just need to swim or something? Or maybe I just need air?" I replied and she suddenly smacked my back which took me aback because it damn hurts!

"What was that?" I asked surprised and she leaned closer to me.

"We are going to..." She said in suspense, pausing halfway.

"Drink." She then added which made my eyes widen.

"Are you for real?" I asked in disbelief because we are still underage for that.

"Nicolas agreed already. Besides, they are here to take care of us if we got waisted from just one glass of alcohol." She said excitedly and that is when I finally flashed a smile.

"You're a bad influence," I said pointing at her but she quickly shove my hand and whispered.

"I know..." She said and giggled like a creepy doll.

"But... wait a minute, do we even have some alcohol to drink?" I asked forgetting about the fact that we didn't bring anything but clothes and some necessities.

"Of course." She said and went to the second fridge because there has two in this house despite being so small. I gasped when I saw all the different kinds of liquors inside.

"What do you want?" She asked and someone suddenly put his arms around me.

"I want some beer," Henry said pointing to the green cans.

"Yes. I think we should just drink some beers and there is some leftover chicken that Ethan cooked." Nicolas said as he passed right through us and started to get the cans from the fridge.

"Ethan. Can you help me with this?" He shouted all of a sudden and right before I know it, he passed right through us too and began to help my brother carry all of the cans towards the living room. We began to help and once we managed to bring enough cans for us to drink, we finally settled down on the floor.

"Are we only going to drink this?" Caroline asked now as Henry began to open five cans of beer.

"Why? What do you want to do?" Nicolas asked as he gets one of some beer from Henry.

"Let's play a game," Caroline said and stood up from her seat then went to the refrigerator once again to get a bottle of... brandy?

"Hey! That will be too strong for you all." Nicolas said surprised seeing it in her hands but Caroline didn't bother to listen and put it on the floor.

"This is just for the punishment." She said which made me frown.

"Punishment?" I asked confused.

"We will play a game." She said bringing out of her phone from her pocket and putting it down on the floor. There was an application visible on her screen that was entitled truth or dare and that is when I started to get pale. I carefully steal a glance from the man beside my brother and stiffen when he was already staring at me.

Damn it!

I felt like my heart got out of my chest the moment I met his eyes.

"So... are we going to play or not?" Caroline asked and everyone became silent.

A few minutes later, I saw Nicolas standing up and went to the kitchen to get a glass. Afterward, he picked up the bottle of brandy and put a half full of it on the glass. Everyone gulped in nervousness as they looked at the glass, and that also includes me because it was too many and I know if I drank that... I will pass out immediately.

"So... Let us start the game!" Caroline said excitedly.
