Chapter 2
Real Prince
“If I told you, we’re leaving. We are really leaving!” he sounds so upset. I just can't handle anyone with this kind of anger capacity.
“Not everyone can follow all your orders. Person is a person Khal, not an object” i said clearly and leave him dumbfounded there, i glance at the wines, it looks like a library, the difference is— those are not books but wines. I scanned the color of each wines, they have indigo, red, black, and white.
“You were my object Nieves,”
Everytime he's saying "Nieves" i can feel the weigh on my chest. Yes, Nieves is your object, not Eco. Not me! So i'll do whatever I wanna do. I get one bottle of wine and a wine glass, I saw Nieves drinking wine while she’s talking with me. I opened the wine and pour few on my glass. It taste not so good, Goddamn it! I regret it!
“Nieves,” he held my arms.
“Give me a nickname. Don’t call me Nieves,” i saw how his brows meets; confused, stupid idea Eco.
“What are you talking about?” he asked while watching how i pour another shot on my wine glass, the wind blew and I just let my hair hide my expression.
I even saw how Khal make his way near me and caress my cheeks, removing all the strand of the hair on my face. I look at him softly. Oh damn. Alcohol!
“You want me to stop calling you Nieves? Why? That's your name right?”
I nodded, I was Nieves, right, i should act as Nieves in front of him. But how can I be Nieves? I don't wanna be her, she’s an evil. She loves Rafael? And she's pregnant? What if Rafael is the father of her child? Imposible. If it's Rafael, he probably knew about Nieves pregnancy. What if Nieves hid it? Damn.
“Hey Nieves,”
“I said stop calling me Nieves!” i yelled and drink what I have on my glass. His forehead wrinkles and slowly nodded. “Fine. Stop drinking baby,” he whisper, i laughed and look at him with my soft stare.
“That’s better. Baby,” i smirked, his veins are revealing, he watched me as if I am a puzzle. The wind blew again, I fixed my hair.
“You look different Nieves,” he spat while looking at my lips, he tilted his head. I smiled.
“Stop calling me Nieves,”
“Fine. Baby,” he said and brush his lips into mine. I was so stunned with his kisses, this is the first time he kissed me gently. I gasped still respond on his kisses. Last night he fuck me like I was a whore. He's a monster of his own room he didn't even let me see his face what I just know…he was enjoying…
He stop kissing me and kiss the tip of my nose. “I love your lips so much,” he laugh.
“Lets go baby,” and he quickly put his hands on my waist. Owning it. I heard my heart beat so loud. I don't know.... why....
“Stop holding me!”
“You're drunk, so I'll hold you. Don't be so hard headed , baby,” he sweetly and sexily said. I laughed but still nodded. He chuckle as well, his half-view face seems like a beautiful scenery, and see how he smiles. My heart hammered, I can feel butterflies and i don't know why....
What is this?
“Khal. Is that possible that you feel butterflies in your tummy?” i asked innocently.
He laugh. “I didn't know you have that kind of side. Anyways, this is corny, but they said if you're feeling butterflies, it's either you are in love, or you are in love.” He chuckled.
I shook my head. “No. That’s impossible.”
“Why? Did you feel it?” he hold my tummy and upon getting off to his touch I swinged and got out balanced, and I lay on his top, my boob squeeze in his chest. My heart beats so loud. The butterflies played.
HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!
“Are you falling already, baby?”
My heart started screaming, what the fuck!! I should visit some Doctor. What if I'm sick?
“What are you talking about? I don’t know w-whats--- you know what. I’m tired” i don't even understand what am I saying, he nodded and held for my waist once more. I just let him do that. Oh man! I’m smitten!
“Shall, I give you ride?” he asked.
“Nah. I’m fine, i'll just ride the same horse,” he just nodded letting me leave without him. He really not so gentle.
Is these how the Princesses reacts on their Fairytales? Is that how they react on that?
“Good Afternoon Ma’am Nieves,” they all greeted me.
“What's on his mind, why Khal let that pusher stays here,” the girl said with disgust, her hair is in blonde, her hair is short and you can see how she look wealthy. Like what Nanny Dolores always told me, about the villain or witches. Though these one is high-end, sophisticated and pretty.
“What are you looking at? Nieves!”
She asked because I'm staring at her seriously.
“Is it wrong to look at trash?”
I don't wanna say bad, but I'm just being her mirror.
“WHAT DID YOU SAY?!”
“I don’t want to repeat what I already said” i just walked out and go straight at the kitchen. And I saw three men here. Jalius, Rafael and the guy I didn't know who is.
“Look who’s here” he said. He smiled at me, I smiled back. Oh god! Why there's a lot of Prince here, well Khal is the most handsome prince for me.
“Don’t hit on her. Nieves live here for Khal,” that's Jalius.
The guy stare at Rafael.
"What happen dude? I thought…” he even chuckled.
“Shut up Inigo,” Rafael shook his head and stare at me. He left after that.. I sigh and look at his back, he's now with that short-haired girl, and they both walked away.
“I don’t get him,” and I shook my head again.
Jalius laugh. Whats funny huh?
“Before, you were running and begging for him, what happen now Nieves? Did you changed your mind already?” Inigo asked. I just sighed and get a water on the fridge..
If Nieves loves Rafael so much, that only means, he is the father of Nieves' baby. Well.
“Did you already eat, Ma’am?” the maid asked me.
“I'll eat when Khal's here, i'll just go at our room,” i just said. He nodded and I leave. I heard Jalius called me, but I don't have time for that. I went to our room and the first thing I saw is the maids fixing the bedsheet. I even heard them talk.
“There's a bloodstain here. Did they?” she giggled. “Gosh, they honestly look good together. Ma'am Nieves just need to change a bit, and... they'll be happy,” she added.
“Its bad to talk someone behind their back” I'm crossing my arms.
I saw how they got shock and panicked after hearing my voice. I don't wanna be rude, though.
“Its fine though. Why were you mad at me?” i asked and lean on the wall. The lady who talked too much, answered me.
“You sees us like we won't reach you, like yoy are highly, and we're just nothing. You just act like that Ma'am,” she shut her own mouth using her palm. Nieves is …like that. Well. We're really are twins.
“That’s cool,” i smiled, the sweet smile I always wear. They nodded and continue cleaning the Master Bedroom. They quickly finished it and leave the room carrying all the waste.
I lay on the bed and close my eyes.
“Eco, don't be so hard headed. You need to eat,” thats Nanny Dolores, I just pushed the plate away from me. I heard how it brokes.
“I SAID I WANT MY MOM!” I was five years old when I realize that Nanny isn’t my Mom.
“She'll visit you hear Eco, trust me,”
“WHY WOULD I LISTEN TO YOU? I CANT SEE ANYTHING! I CANT FEEL LOVE FROM YOU! YOU'RE JUST FOLLOWING ALL THEIR ORDERS RIGHT?! WHY NANNY! WHY? IS IT WRONG TO BE LIKE THIS?! A BLIND! B-BLIND!!” I sobs, and even if I cry all of these. I still don't know what's the color of my tears. My skin. And I still don't know why am I living like this.
“Eco, don't say that, I loved you,"
“NO! YOU DON’T!”i cried, that's heavy hearing my Nanny cries makes my heart hurt.
I grew up without feeling the love of my own parents. I grew up without them.
“What Mommy and Daddy looks like?”
“You resembled your Mom features, beautiful, and fair skin,” i heard how glad she is. “Your eyes are beautiful, hija. It's color brown, your nose is pointed, your lips were as red as roses, and like blood,”
“I don’t know what is brown Yaya, I don’t know what is white, what is red,” i started to cry. “Why simple things like this sent burden to me?”
Nanny Dolores embraced me, she whispered things that can assure me.
“Even though you can't see, you have a warm heart, darling,” she said.
“I wish heart can see, I wish good attitude can help me to see things”
“I just wished I can give you my eyes,” and she kissed my forehead.
I opened my eyes and I am already tearing up. My childhood life is a bit hard, thanks to my Nanny. She loved me, she answered all my questions. I am blessed.
I’m sorry Yaya, i didn't save you. Please forgive me.
I wiped my tears, Yaya Dolores will be sad if I stayed like this. I stood up from laying and went to the bathroom to take bath. I wear strapless dress and went to the kitchen to eat food.
“Where's Khal?” I asked the maid.
“Maybe at the Library Ma'am, he's already here and he didnt eat yet,” the maid said. I just nodded.
“Where's the library?”
“There at the last room Ma'am, ” and she pointed at the corridor.
“Okay, can you bring food at the library” i smiled and go there.
I knocked and saw Khal.
I know how to write, how to recognize letters. But…not to read…damn!
“Come,” he invited me to sir beside him so I did, he snaked his arms around me. Holding a book and he show me that.
“I love the story of Romeo and Juliet,” he smirked.
“Gosh,” I shook my head, this Adonis-like man is reading a lovestory? God!
“I’ll read it for you,” he said and started reading it. I wanna focus listening to him but my dumb eyes keep on staring at the movements of his lips. I shake my head, it's wrong to kiss someone without their permission. Shall I ask for permission?
“Khal”
“Humm?” he stop in mid reading.
“C-can I kiss you?”
His eyes rounded after what I just asked. And I kissed him before he could speak. I wanna make this damned butterflies happy.
“Damn baby, don’t turn me on please,” he said, but I cant stop myself. I kiss him like I find my real prince.
“Baby,” he whispered after I sat on his lap, I cling my arms on his shoulders, my elbow were on his shoulder, and hands on his hair.I gasped as I look at his eyes back to his lips again. I smiled.
“You’re making me insane baby,”
“And I want to kiss you, I want to make my butterflies happy,” I said straightly.
I saw how amused he is. “Oh.”
And before he could speak again. I rush on his lips again, I was pushing and grinding on him. This is nice. My heart beats abnormally, am I sick?
“Damn woman,” he cursed before responding.
