“Aren’t you going to pick one?”
“Just choose what you think will be good,” she said.
Neal after a long consideration picked a black slim cell with a nice rear and front camera. While he paid for it, she was busy looking at the phone covers. She had always wanted to have a matching cover with her boyfriend if she ever had one. Now that she skipped from a boyfriend to a husband, will she have her dream fulfilled?
“What’s on your mind?” he asked her.
“Can you buy that for me?” she asked looking at the covers.
Neal smiled and asked the sales attendant for the covers.
“You want matching covers?”
She couldn’t answer that question at all, she felt very embarrassed.
“I will buy them for you,” he said and paid for them.
When the phone got registered as well as the SIM card, the attendant put the cover on and she was happy. Neal took his phone out and had the cover on as well.
She looked at him and whispered, “thank you.”
“You are welcome.”
They left the shop and began to do some window shopping.
“Did you buy clothes for the honeymoon?” he asked suddenly and she choked on herself.
He laughed when she did that but helped her to calm down.
“Why are you asking such a question?”
“I was just curios.”
“I don’t know. I have been busy with lessons. Maybe they are there.”
“How about we do that now?”
“With you?”
“Yes, it’s not like I won’t see them. I will just help you pick.”
“How about you just pick the ones that you thing are good. I have no idea what I will be getting.”
“Let’s do it together.”
That’s how the day went all awkward. She couldn’t believe he wasn’t shy at all helping her to pick out lingerie. He seemed to have taste and a lot of experience which made her heart sank.
After buying her lingerie, he went ahead and bought her shoes and purses. She totally forgot that she was mad at him. After shopping they went into a restaurant where she ordered some dumplings.
“Talia, isn’t this too much?”
“You said you wanted to get to know me. I love dumplings, you should try them,” she said biting one.
She could tell he was curious, so she gave him the one she was eating. He looked at her and she whispered, “it’s not poisonous at all.”
He smiled and finished the dumpling. He took another one and she knew she had won. After their dumplings lunch, they were given a free lunch by the owner who had received more customers the moment they stepped in.
“It’s my first time receiving something like this.”
“It feels good right?”
“It does. Father will be furious if he hears that we just ate dumplings in the crowd.”
“He will be lenient with you, don’t worry. At least the prince will be seen as someone who is normal just like any other person. How can you say you are a citizen and yet you never ate this kind of food?”
“That’s true. We should bring this to mother and if she doesn’t like them, we will just eat them.”
“Aren’t we eating too much? I might not fit into my gown tomorrow.”
“That will become a sight to see. Let’s go somewhere else and have some privacy,” he said.
They left the mall and went to a beauty parlor where she received a full body massage, pedicure, manicure and had her hair done too.
“Isn’t this over the top?” she asked as she looked at herself in the mirror.
“It’s not, you should look beautiful tomorrow.”
“I really appreciate it.”
By the time they returned back to the palace it was a bit late. She had her supper in her own rooms and went to bed early. It was going to be a big day for her and she didn’t want to spoil it no matter what.
Neal found it hard to forgive the woman he loved so dearly. How could she betray him like that? After everything he had done for her, after giving her his heart and she just tramped upon it as if it was nothing.
Neal was the last-born child of the current king and queen of Qarth. His family had been ruling for long and they were respected globally. Being the youngest he got spoiled by his mother, he did whatever he wanted which included being with the girl he liked ever since he was a child.
Chloe was his life and world. He loved her deeply. She was his first kiss and he lost his purity to her too. He could walk on top of fire even if it meant to be with her. Being a prince meant to be cautious of everything he did but with her he could let his guard down.
Neal was still a university student at the capital biggest university. He was in his third year. It was the royal family’s tradition for every prince to marry before he turns twenty-one years of age. The ceremony was arriving for him to choose his bride and the only person he could choose was Chloe. He had promised to make her his in front of everyone. Make everyone bow to her and respect her.A week before the ceremony he decided to surprise her at her house. He didn’t call in advance and just went there. What he wasn’t expecting was to see his girlfriend and best friend making out as if it was normal. He was speechless and couldn’t confront them at all.The only thing he could do was simply to withdraw and act as if he never saw it. He planned to trample on the promise he made and make sure that she suffers the most humiliation she could ever get in her life. She stomped on his heart and he was going to do this same too.As if everythin
“So, it’s true, now you can’t even defend yourself. I saw you with my own eyes and couldn’t ask you at all. I wanted you to feel the same pain I did when I found out about you two. Just leave me alone Chloe.I will not tell anyone about it to show you some respect because of our past affection but from now on please stay away from me as possible. I have a wife I need to care about.”“Don’t do this to me Neal, please. I’m sorry, it just happened.”“I don’t care how it happened really. I just want you out of my sight or else I will tell every media outlet there about you and see whether you can walk holding your head high,” he threatened her.Chloe wiped away her tears and withdrew from the class. He slapped the book on the table and closed her eyes. It was really painful; he loves her but he just couldn’t do anything about it now.“Neal!” Jasper his other
Her son kept avoiding Talia so she had to threaten him so that he could spend some time with her. If left alone for too long, she didn’t know what the end would be like.She left her hall and went to where her husband and king were.“Did the Priestess left?”“Yes, she did.”“So, it’s finally happening?”“Yes, it is.”“For the first time our son did something good.”“Yes, he did. Do you think we should tell him?”“No, we mustn’t. They should be able to talk it out themselves. Let us not interfere and let the kids settle this among themselves.”“That is true my love. Let’s wait and see where it will lead us. I have to take the beads out now. You should rest early; it will be a very long day tomorrow.”“It will be. It’s been so long since we had a huge event like this.”&ldq
Her nanaba had warned her that it would come announced but she never thought it would come now. She closed her eyes and began to meditate when she suddenly fell into a slumber. It was like a dream but it felt so real. She saw the back of a woman walking; she looked old from the back considering the silver hair.She was curious so she followed her for a long time before the woman suddenly stopped and picked a peony flower and turned around. She was surprised that she fell to the ground. She looked exactly like her, how was that even possible?“Who are you?” she asked the woman.“I am you and you are me,” she answered her.“What’s happening here?”“Take this,” she said giving her the flower and she stood up and took it.“I’m going to tell you a story, everything is true so pay attention because we don’t have much time,” she said.She nodded her head in respons
Her hair was pinned nicely behind her back before the diamond tiara on her head.“It’s time, they are waiting.”Talia was escorted out of the changing and straight to the hall where she found her nanaba looking gorgeous as always.“You look beautiful, my child,” she said kissing her cheeks.“Thank you, nanaba.”“Let’s go inside, a lot of people are waiting.”“Let’s get this over with.”Her nanaba took her arm in hers and the doors opened. The orchestra was playing the wedding march while she walked down the aisle. Her husband Neal was standing in the front in a gorgeous black tuxedo. He was a very handsome man indeed. Her nanaba handed her over to Neal who took her hand and the two faced the Arch Bishop.They took their vows in front of everyone in the modern way and exchanged the wedding bands.“I now pronounce you husband and wife, prin
The chariot passed through many roads and from time to time they waved until they reached the palace. At the place their bags were already packed and the car was waiting.The car took them to the airport where the royal jet was waiting for them. After settling the jet was airborne. Because she was tired, she just closed her eyes forgetting that she had not eaten anything and slept.She had another dream again. She saw the silver haired lady again, holding the seven-gem bead bracelet in her left hand and using her right hand to touch people.She could see and hear their thoughts, their pasts and future. It was as if the bracelet was a guide that helped her to maneuver well. The woman kept doing that to people and telling them words that brought them hope and it was beautiful.She avoided telling them the sad parts and tells them how to avoid some calamities too. If her gift was the same as the silver haired lady then she really had a huge job to do.
“I have never done this before,” Talia confessed as she stood right in front of him after their romantic dinner in the royal villa, they were residing in for their one-week honey moon.He could tell she was scared and innocent. He had only slept with one woman and now he had to consummate his marriage or else all hell will break loose. Talia was likeable and he had no doubt she would be just the right one for him now.Neal titled her chin up and gazed into those emerald green eyes.“You don’t know have to know how to do anything,” he said sliding his and along her jaw and down her throat, where he could feel the wild beat of her pulse. Her heart raced, drumming through his fingernails.“I know what to do, this is my job,” he reassured her.Dipping his head, he kissed the side of her neck, her jaw and then the corner of her lips. Her lower lip quivered and he kissed the quiver.Talia shivered as Neal
He didn’t any words but she linked her hands behind his neck and draws his face down to hers. He kissed her hard, deeply, passionately, kissing her until she shivered and danced beneath him. He moved her legs, his thighs inside hers, and as he stretched over her, she felt the tip of his erection nudge her.“I don’t want to hurt you,” he whispered, kissing the side of her neck, and then her throat and back to her lips.“It won’t always hurt, will it?” she asked barely able to concentrate on what she was asking when his hands were on her breasts and his palms rubbed slowly across her nipples.“No,” he answered, dropping his head to suck one peaked nipple even as he positioned his shaft at the entrance of her body.He kissed her again on the lips and deepened the kiss as he entered her slowly. Fortunately, her body was wet and welcoming and only once did the pressure became too much. She pressed at his ch
