Visiting the prince

Amara's POV:

The wait is finally over. The prince is back. I can't believe that the years have passed so fast already. I must admit that it was quite a long wait, but at long last, they were over.

“Have you heard the news, girlfriend?” My best friend Helen asks me. I could see excitement in her voice. “Yes, I am about to head to the palace right now. I miss him so much, and I want to see him so badly.” I say.

“I know, girlfriend, that you miss him so much.” She says.

“I badly miss him. Let me freshen up so I can head out. I don't want to waste any more time.” I say as I rush to my room. I head straight to the washroom, and I unlock the tap, and water comes to hit my lovely body. I know the prince will have a hard time taking his eyes off me. My name is Amara Chelsea. The only daughter of my parents. My parents were so rich, and money was never a problem in my family. I studied in one of the best schools in the country. I was now a graduate in medicine. But since my parents were rich, I saw no need for working. I received my monthly allowance from my parents each month. They spoiled me too much that I forgot how to make my own money.

Now that I will get married to the prince, I will get richer; I will be the princess of my land. That is what I want now. Many people will be respecting me. I will be the envy of many girls. And when my husband becomes the king, I will be the queen. That is my dream for now. To be the queen of this land. I will do anything to make sure that happens.

“Helen, come, please.” I shout when I come out of the shower.

“What is it? Why are you shouting? Helen comes running inside my room. I could see shock in her eyes. She was always so worried for me. I can confidently say that she truly loves me. I also love her the same way she loves me.

“I want you to help me choose my outfit. I want to look so beautiful today. I want the prince to be lost in my beauty.” I say with a smile on my face.

“Ok, girlfriend. I will help you. Let us see what will fit you perfectly.” Helen says as she looks at each of my dresses.

“Amara, I think this one will do.” She then says,

“You think so?” I ask.

“I can never lie to you, my friend.” She says, “Ask,” and she hands me the dress.

I quickly take it and I wear it. I stare at myself in the mirror, and I just could not believe it. This dress suited me perfectly. It made me look like a true princess.

“How do I look?” I ask her.

“Wow, this is the dress to wear today. Don't take it off; just put on some makeup and leave already. Time is not on your side anymore.” Helen says.

I could see she was saying the truth, so I followed her advice.

“Ok, girlfriend.” I say as I rush back to my room. I sit on my makeup chair that was facing the mirror, and I start doing my makeup. I decide to put a light one on. I was beautiful, so there was no need for heavy makeup.

After I am done, I take my purse and I head out of my room. It was time to head to the palace. “Take care, girlfriend.” Helen says as she escorts me out of the house, "I will.” I say as I bid her goodbye. I was so tired from driving today, so I decided to take a cab. * * * * * * *

My house and the palace were not that far; that is why I knew Gilan so well. We went to the same primary school. He was always so handsome from the first day I set my eyes on him. I knew he was the one for me from day one. I hope that my dream will finally come true and that we will get married. I want to settle down with him as soon as possible. I don't want to waste any more time. So I hope it happens soon.

In about ten minutes, I stand in front of the palace gate. Since the guards know me, they allow me inside. I was so famous in this palace, and everyone knew me as Gilan's girlfriend. I was always so proud of that. I was so happy when everyone addressed me as her girlfriend.

“Is the prince in?” I ask one of the guards.

“Yes, madam. He is inside. I guess he's tired from his trip. He is taking a rest.” The guard says, and I smile. I slowly start walking inside. The housemaid opens the door for me, and I walk inside the house. The palace was so big and beautiful; it will be such an honor when I start living here. I head straight to where the king's throne was. I am glad when I spot him. He was seated doing some work, I guess. He was always so busy taking care of his people.

“How are you, Your Majesty?” I greet him. He then lifts his head and he smiles when he sees me.

“My dear, you are here?” He says.

“Yes, I heard the prince is back home, so I came to check on him.” I say.

“Yes, he is resting in his room. You can go and check up on him.” He says.

“Thank you, Your Majesty.” I say with a broad smile on my face. The king always approved of me. This was a big advantage to me. I excuse myself, and I start heading to the prince's room. I did not know where it was, so I asked one of the maids to help me locate it. Within a few minutes, I was standing in front of his room.
