I walked into the house but couldn’t find anyone at home – mum, or grandma. Ahh! Thank goodness.

I climbed up the stairs to my room and aals soon aa I got in, I giggled and fell on the bed.

I bit my nails while staring up at the ceiling and after a while, I sat up and brought the envelope out of my bag. Oh my! It felt so huge.

I glanced at my door to be sure I’d locked it properly. Then, I opened the envelope and my eyes beamed when i saw the cash in it.

Oh my gee!!! This was…….

Holy Molly! How on earth do i spend this??? It was too much!!!

I gasped and flipped the clean notes. I seriously couldn’t believe this. It was mine – mine!!

I bit my lower lip and fixed the cash back into the envelope. Then, I stood up and ran to one of my bags, fixing the envelope deep into it. Gosh! I just hope this is safe enough, cause I couldn’t have mum or grandma seeing it. I’d definitely be busted.

I took in a deep breath and went to lay back on the bed, staring up at the ceiling. And as I did, I thought about him – the prince.

He finally knows my identity – he knows I’m the lady he’s been looking for. Gosh! How was he able to find out?? I still can’t believe it. Hmph.

A smile curved up my lips when I recalled the way he’d stared at me. It’s prince Nathan we’re talking about here.

Ahh! If not for grandma, only God knew what would’ve happened. Her strict rules are the only things stopping me from falling on him – truthfully. Else….who wouldn’t want to be with the prince? And to think I was the lady he’s been looking for?? Geez!

I giggled and turned on the bed. Oh! What’s wrong with me? I couldn’t just contain my excitement, huh?

Well…somehow, I felt glad he’d gotten to know about my identity anyway.

Yes…I mean, I’ve been hiding it for so long and i really wanted to know what his reactions would be when he finally gets to know.

Nathan
Driving back home, my phone kept beeping with numerous calls and when I picked one of them, I discovered it was T–jay.

Oh,crap!

“Seriously, Nathan. Did it have to take you the whole day to pick my calls??” He snapped as soon as I answered the call.

“Ahh! I’ve been busy, man. What is it?”

“Crap. Well, I just wanted to remind him of the….”

“Geez! I know, okay? I remember” I cut him off with a sigh.

“Okay, better. And don’t forget its a couples night. So, you’re meant to come with your partner”.

“Partner? You and I both knows I don’t have a partner, Jay. So,I….”

“Everyone would be there with their partners, Nathan. You shouldn’t be the only odd one”.

“Yea, I’m driving, okay? And I need to concentrate. Bye”,
And I ended the call. Oh! Geez!

Few minutes later, another call came in and was about turning it off when I realized it was Andrea. Oh! Sh*t. Seriously?? Not now!

I wasn’t in the mood. But…considering I’d snobbed her calls the last time she called, I felt i had no choice.

I picked the call and put it on speaker.

“Nathan!” She squealed.
“For heavens sake, you finally decided to pick my calls. Whats wrong,,Nathan? You’ve been….”

“I’m so sorry, Andrea. The last few times you called were like the busiest moments of my life”.

“And you couldn’t return my calls, at least?”

“I know, but I….” I paused and sighed. “I’m sorry, okay?”

She was silent for a while and I figured she was probably putting on her childish frown.

“Anyway, how have you been? ” she asked.

“Well…I’ve been great, I guess. Everything is fine. And you? How’s Atlanta?”

“Oh!! Atlanta is great”, she paused and giggled.
“I’ve missed you, Nathan……and I can’t wait to see you again”.

“Yeah…same here. I’ve missed you”.

“Really?? What do you miss about me?”
Her voice was enthusiastic and I chuckled.

“Well…I’ve missed your liveliness, your jokes, your voice….”

“Oh, Nathan! You’re making me blush”, she laughed hard and even without seeing her,,I could tell her entire face was pink already.

“Um….you know what? Mum was talking about coming to Korea for a friend’s wedding. So, I’m gonna do my best to persuade her to come and that way,,we’d see again. What do you think?”

“Well….that’d be great. I’d be waiting”.

“Alright. Bye ,need to go now”,,

“Bye Andrea”,,
And she ended the call.

Oops!

I took in a deep breath and focused my eyes on the road.

Andrea….she hasn’t changed,,has she?

I scoffed when I thought of it.

Another beep came into my phone again and this time around, it was a text message.
I glanced at the screen and discovered it was from Mabel:

“Nathan, dad’s condition is getting worse. I’m scared”.

I was about sleeping off when the door opened and I forced my eyes open to see it was mum. Oh!

She stood by the door and glared hard at me.

“Um…good evening, mum”, I greeted nervously, but she didn’t say a word for the first few seconds.

“Come with me. We’re going out”, she finally said and walked out of the room.

Wait…whaaat???

My jaws dropped in shock. Going out with mum??? By this time???

Where’s she taking me???
TBC.
