6) My Princess.

HAZEL 

After lunch, Xander accompanied me to the first floor. There were also numerous rooms like the second floor with their huge decorated doors. He led me to the giant room among all, it was the extravagant room with a giant bed and attached bathroom and a balcony along with a stair leading directly towards that private garden. I exclaimed in wonder, "Wowww... It is beautiful. Your room? Right?" 

He smiled and nodded. Then he walked towards a piano at the corner of the well-furnished room and asked, "You know how to play?" I nodded right to left. He added, "Umm then be my judge." I took the seat beside him and in a blink of an eye, a melodious sound filled the room. It was soft full of passion, giving a soothing to my soul. I drowned in that sound totally it was so mesmerizing that no word was enough to describe. After a short span, I came back to reality as it ended. I looked at him and said with a little disappointment, "why do you stop soon? It was extremely good" he laughed and replied, "Soon? I played for almost 15 minutes. Don't worry I will play for you again. Now, let's go take some rest. Damien went to your camp today and informed them you are alright. So your prof. want you to return today evening. Ok?" 

I murmured, "Yes" and he accompanied me to my room and saying goodbye, he left. I lay on the soft comfortable bed and instantly sleep forced me to close my eyes. 

It was true I totally forget about my friends as I was busy with Xander. I really liked spending time with him. He was really different the man ever made me feel special. I felt immense attraction towards him. The thought of leaving him made me sad but I knew that he was off-limits for me. 

From the day we came here our phone had no network so I was really worried for my friends also. 

When I woke up it was almost evening. So I quickly freshen up and decided to meet Grandma Mable before leaving. I walked out of my room with my handbag and asked a guard her room's direction. Then after reaching in front of her room, I knocked gently. She asked me to come in. With a beautiful caring smile, she welcomed me and led me to her bed. Her room was not extremely decorated but well-organized with luxurious furniture. She sat close to me and asked, "Dear, How was your day? Do you like Xander's company? He was speaking a lot about you." I blushed and replied, " Yes. He is really a gentleman." She unexpectedly replied, "I am glad you like him. He really needs someone like you." 

I didn't expect that a handsome rich prince like Xander could like me in such a short period that much. I was nothing in front of him so from the very beginning I tried to suppress my feeling but now I really started feeling over-ambitious. We both chatted for a long. Our conversation ended with the knock at the door. Xander walked in with a gentle smile in his godly beauty and said, "I went to your room and I instantly understood you are here. It is already late. I think we should leave now only if you don't want to honour me staying another night here." 

I reluctantly with a faint pain in my heart replied, "I think we should leave everybody is waiting for me there. They must be worried." Granny wished me goodbye, engulfing me in a warm hug. 

Then we both started walking towards the hall. Xander with that usual smile on his thin lips said, "It seems like Granny has started liking you." I muttered, "I like her too. She is so motherly and caring. How is she so young? It doesn't look like she is your granny." He laughed out loud as I asked something like an ignorant child and replied with a mischievous smile, "oh this is a secret, my angel. Soon I will tell you about this. Be patient my princess." 

When we reached the hall, suddenly from nowhere Damien called Xander to come with him for once. Xander told me to wait there and left with him. I was examining the hall's antic things suddenly I saw Rachel in a pair of jeans and yellow top, she walked towards me with a slight tilt of her lips. I didn't like her much, didn't know why might be for those temporary Luna things or for an uncomfortable glance. 

"I see the poor little girl is here. So you think you can win him with your beauty? I don't know how such a weakling like you, is a mate of Xander, who don't even know who Xander really is. I think he may be mistaken," and added "But you better be careful he is mine, only mine. If you dare to" 

Xander cut her in the middle of the sentence and asked in an angry tone, "What will you do? I already warned everyone doesn't even think of disrespecting her. How dare you to speak to her like that," with a grim expression he shouted, "I think you forget your place, I have to remind you that." His usual soft expression turned into a frightening one and that time I really noticed his sapphire eyes turned into fiery golden. I was totally dumbfounded about that whole incident. I was about to protest this unexpected attack when Xander came, but I was really terrified seeing his sudden change. I instinctively held his hand strongly, might be feeling my fear, he stepped back and shouted to Rachel, "Leave." 

Then without wasting a second, he engulfed me in a warm passionate love and instantly his sweet aroma of honey and lavender hit me, then he whispered near my ears, "I am sorry. I don't mean to scare you. But trust me none can hurt you. I will always protect you." I looked at his eyes again and muttered, "I trust you." His eyes again turned into his soft sapphire colour.  

He led me to a blue Harley Davidson and gently uttered, "Why so silent?", tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear. I smilingly replied, "I thought you are still angry so-" 

Raising one eyebrow he grinned, "So?? You thought I will shout at you? Never my princess. Why you are so innocent, Hazel? It is going to be difficult for me," he murmured. 

I confusingly asked, "What is going to be difficult?" He replied nodding his head, "um hmm. Nothing. Leave now. Come on, hop on. We have to go long way." 

Before starting the bike, he adjusted his side mirror in a way that he could see my face easily and we started to fly. He was excessively fast. At first, I was so scared I clutched his shirt tightly clinging to his chiselled body. Seeing my expression in the mirror, he chuckled and replied, "Hold on tight, and don't be so shy." Then he took one of my hands and encircled it on his waist. I held him tightly without a second thought as it was really at a dangerous speed. The surroundings were beautiful. The dark forest was bathed by the silvery moonlight. Suddenly I realized that I could feel his well-built muscles, I felt a rush of adrenaline and that special electric spark. 

Soon we stopped in front of our camp, I asked, "Let's come inside. I can introduce you to my friends." He gently replied, "Umm it's already late today." 

I sighed a little and asked, "Will we meet again?" My heart started aching for some unknown reason, it seemed like I was leaving my home, half of my soul. 

Seeing my disappointment, he gently smiled and leaning forward cupped my face with his both hands and murmured, "From now I will always stay with you. You just take care of yourself. We will meet soon", then placing a soft long kiss on my forehead he added, "Good night, and my princess." 

Just before entering the camp, when I looked towards him, I saw he was still there, staring at me in his deep sapphire eyes, leaning against the bike.
