Love in Slavery
Danika's POV
The kiss was still getting registered in my brain, like is he really doing that.... Somehow I sank into it.
Many months passed and I kept on working for him without any major issue, except a few supposed romantic moments.
The parts I love are when he tells me to sit beside him while he is writing, he looks literally crafted by the angels, and he's very smart.
I felt suffocated in the palace and wanted to go out, the prince wasn't around and it was starting to get boring, with the help of Cinder, my only friend we snuck out and I got a look around the city that day.
I was checking out one cute Hair pin I saw, but I didn't have enough money for it, I just stared at it before I heard a voice.
"It'll look pretty good on you...." I turned around, it was Derrick
*"Uhm yeah I guess..." I said and started walking away, for some reason I didn't like him that much but he was making advances I didn't like.
I left him there and kept on walking, I walked into a garden, very beautiful and serene, so I just walked down and sat under a tree, admiring the flowers.
"Danika...." That voice startled me, it was still Derrick
"Prince, what're you doing here?" I asked him
"You looked really pretty now, I like you so much" He suddenly said
It wasn't the first time, and I had no idea how else to turn him down nicely.
Derrick's POV
I watched her leave the stall, I guess she really likes the hairpin, I got it from the trader and followed her, she headed into the garden, she looks so pretty like a queen, I don't know how I feel towards her, but I'm having a feeling I never had for any girl before.
"Danika" I said
She looked startled and suddenly she smiled, I felt my heart flutter when I saw that smile.
"Prince, what are you doing here?" She asked
I told her she looked pretty and I liked her, she turned her face away and didn't say anything, she grabbed a flower and sniffed it, her movements were so graceful, I out the hairpin on her hair, she looked up at me, and touched the pin, I noticed she was trying to remove it.
"No, it's my gift..." I told her
She gave a smile, I was almost going to kiss her when I felt a tap, when I turned a punch was given to me, I tasted something metallic in my mouth, probably blood.
I was enraged ready to punished who did that to me. But I was shocked at who I saw... "Desmond!!!" I screamed
"Listen to me once again Derrick, she's off limits, let's go Danika" He said and grabbed Danika's hand, while she followed him, the hairpin fell off and she bent to pick it but Desmond swiped her up and carried her.
"Don't accept gifts from others" Was what I heard and I felt my heart sting, when I looked up, He kissed her forehead and left with her.
Desmond's POV
I took her and put her in the carriage that was taking me home.
"Are you stalking me, why did you do that back there" Danika said
I gave her a fierce glare
"If I didn't come, you guys would have kissed right?" I asked
I saw a glimpse of happiness in her eyes but only for a brief second, "how does it matter to you?" She said
I was already boiling with anger and she still said this. I pinned her to the carriage wall and took my face close to hers, she suddenly looked so pretty, I was about to kiss her when she gave me a slap and pushed me away, then she got down and ran inside the palace.
