Chapter Three

      It was a cloudy day in the Northwest territories. it was clear, no fog. She frowned at the weather as it was clear yesterday. She couldn't anticipate the weather. She wanted to see him under sunlight. 

      She quickly finished her breakfast and her mixed fruit juice. She was glancing at her wrist again and again. 

      Dylan was bringing his sister with him. She didn't want Dylan to wait. She didn't want to miss the chance to see him either. She was in her best clothes, grey jeans and white puffy sleeve blouse. 

      She slung her backpack on her shoulder and walked out of the house. Her bodyguard was already waiting for her, "Good morning, "She smiled. 

     "Good morning ma'am. "She beckoned him to say put as she wasn't planning to take him with her. 

      "I'm not going far. Stay home. I'm going out with my new friends and Kami will be with me. "She smiled. 

     "Mr Roy is an old friend of your father. That won't be a problem."He said. 

      He was her father's bodyguard. He had worked with her father after his college' days. He was doing this job on the starting day of her college. He wasn't like other guards. He gave her full privacy, mostly guarded her against a distance. She was thinking, it'd be difficult. Now he knew Roy. So, all was settled. Omen knew where to find her. 

     She walked out and her eyes were only finding him. If it wasn't about him, she must have skipped it, "Hey! Jasmine. "A soft and sweet voice came from behind. 

     She turned and smiled when she saw him with a full smile. He wasn't alone. A beautiful dark short hair and a tall girl was beaming coming with him. Her eyes widened with inhaling of her next breath, she smelled the same macular cologne again. 

     ' Can It be? I dreamed of him before meeting him. I could smell his delicious scent. That's mean, He was there when I woke up. There was no electricity at that time. So, I can't find out camera useful stuff to clear the doubt. '

     She drew herself out of it and smiled at them with a wave of her hand. She was feeling a headache but merely with his glimpse it disappeared. 

      His sister hugged her and she could not turn it down. She wrapped her arms around her. But her eyes were only on him. She wanted to control her smile but it seemed impossible. She pulled herself back, "Finally, so good to see you... "Tessa said as she was waiting for her for years. 

     "Nice to meet you, Tessa. "She coyly looked at him, "Hye! "She whispered slowly as she couldn't avert her eyes away from him. His black t-shirt was clung to his body like a second skin. 

     "We should go. "Tessa smiled. 

     "Yes, sure. Kam... "She turned but Kami was already there. 

     "Tessa, she's Kami. She's the cook of the house and my bodyguard when I don't want my bodyguard with me. "She said, looking at him. Who was staring at them? 

     "She'll be safe. "Dylan kindly told him. 

     "Yes, sir. "He replied quickly as Dylan was truly a king. 

     "Come, "Tessa held her wrist and tugged her out of the iron gate, "Brother is right. You are so beautiful. "She giggled. 

     "Tessa! "He said softly but she could feel his command. 

     She looked at him, walking beside her. He didn't like it, that his sister was joking, "Tell me something more? "She said in a teasing way. 

    When his amber eyes turned to him. She found them mischievous, "She's kidding. "he said slowly. 

     "Did she? "She arched her eyebrows. She swivelled her neck to look at Tessa back who was still holding her hand, "Are you, Tessa? "She asked, but did not break her gaze. 

     "Of course, not. Brother is not shy about his feelings. "She giggled, "with me. "She added quickly. 

     "Tessa, "There was another command. 

     She felt Tessa's grip losing around her hand. There was black Jeep parked in front of his territory, "Kami, you'll sit with me."Tessa immediately hopped in the back seat. 

     "Sure, "Kami got in behind her. 

    She stood near the passenger door. ' Does she want this or he wants his? ' She smiled and smelled his Cologne again as he came near to her from behind. He opened the door for her. She gazed back at him over her shoulder, "Thanks, "She whispered with a smile. 

    "Welcome, Cara Mia. "She loved to hear this from him for her. But it was confusing. A shudder ran through her body and her lips spread In a full grin. She climbed in. She was determined to ask the meaning of it later. She was trying to recall the words in her mind. She put on the seat belt. 

      He walked around and hopped in. He smoothed the seat belt along his muscular chest but didn't lock it, "Hey! Don't you know the basic rules of driving? "She pressed her lips together to suppress the smile and forwarded her hands to do it. 

      "Thank you, "He smiled. 

      "Welcome, Dylan. "She could not stop her lips curled up. 

      Tessa cleared her throat from the back seat, "We should go, brother. It will take an hour. "She was teasing him. 

      "An hour! "She winced and looked behind at her. 

      "Haven't you read about my brother in the newspaper? He's a businessman. No one has territory like us. "Tessa felt proud. 

      "Businessman! "Looking back at him, she arched her brows with a smile. 

      Her heartbeat increased with noise in her chest when he smiled his best. She heard a sudden ring which broke the magic, "Your father, "Kami said, prolonging her hand with her phone. 

     ' Omen must have told dad. ' 

       She grabbed the phone from her hand and clicked on the answer quickly, "Hey, Dad! "She chirped. 

       "I can guess, you are enjoying your time. "She heard the normal tone of her father. She was relieved to guess, he wasn't minding it. 

       "It's beautiful around her. Omen must have told you. "She stated. 

       "Of course, I called him. I care for you, child." 

       "I know, dad. "Suddenly, she felt nervous. 

       "You'll tell me first. "Her father demanded. 

       "Tell what! Dad?"She asked, gazing at the tall trees out. 

       "You seem happy. " 

       "Dad! I'm with my friends. I'll talk to you later. "She said and her cheeks turned red. She could guess where their talk was leading to them. But she was perplexed with her new feelings. If she felt from him, she couldn't expect from him. 

       They spent this hour driving talking and knowing things about each other. Her eyes weren't getting tired of this beautiful view. She couldn't think of something else that could be more beautiful than this. They were reaching their destination on a gravel road. She raked her eyes out on the board, towering proudly over the road. "Roy territories? "She read it with a smile and looked at Dylan. 

     "Hm, our land. "He said, returning the smile.

     "What's exactly here? "She asked. 

     "Our joint families, our community, and people with special professionals stay here. You can take it as a small two. "Tessa said. 

     "Small town! Do all people are your relatives? "She asked, getting astonished as she hadn't heard or seen something like this. She had lived with her mother and after her death, she stayed in her father's house. There was one butler, three maids and two guards. She never shared her mansion with a large group. This thought gave her a headache. 

     "Still confused? Don't put pressure on your brain. See it yourself. "He said. 

    "So people usually come to visit your small town. "She asked,

     She was wondering The owner of a small town was showing her around. 

     He laughed, "You're the one, Cara Mia. "It astonished her more. 

    ' Why me? Is he feeling the same for me? Only this feeling could cause him to break the rule. '

     "I'm excited. I've heard a lot. This place is so beautiful. Dylan is a prince. "Kami craned her neck to whisper in her ear. 

     She glanced at him, "I can believe you. He looks like a prince. "She whispered back in her ear. She didn't avert her eyes. She saw him looking at her through the corner of his eyes as his lips lifted in a smile. She felt as he had heard them, "How far? "She asked out loud.

     "Less than ten minutes," Tessa said from behind. 

     She kept her sight out of the windshield. She could see buildings no more than three-storey. He slowed the car as she saw children playing in the playground. She kept her sight out, "It's a small version of the big city. "She said. 

     "Hm... "She heard him. 

     "We don't want to be deprived of anything. All lived a luxurious life. "She heard Tessa. 

     "We.. then you're the princess of this town. "She spun to see him. 

     "Every third kid of these families is a businessman. "Tessa said. 

     "Is this some kind of rule in this town? But you are the eldest brother. "She looked at him. 

    "Titles come with a lot of freedom. It depends on you, how wisely you use it! "He shrugged his shoulder with a small smile. She startled when she glanced out of the windshield. She was staring at the palace. It was painted cream white and blue. 

     He parked in the parking lot which was surrounded by grass and she could see men guarding it. They were also wearing black like him. It was puzzling her. He was a businessman but rules weren't fitting if he was firstborn. According to Kami, he was a prince. If it was true, why would he dress like a soldier of his palace? 

      Suddenly, she felt anxious. If he was a prince his father was a king. 

      "Ready? "He asked. 

      She shook her head, "Your uncle told me to show around. Are you sure, I'm allowed in your territory? "She chewed the centre part of her upper lips. 

      "Who'd dare to deny him? Come, Jasmine. "Tessa said, stepping out of the jeep. Kami followed her behind, hopping out next to her with a smile. 

     She turned to open it, "Wait! "He said and walked across regally. 

     ' Gosh! He's truly a future kind. '

     He smiled and opened the door for her, "Are you a prince? "She asked as he held her hand and helped her. 

    "I am. "He confirmed.

    It aroused her anxiety, "And you're telling me now. "She got agitated with his words, "I shouldn't come here. Your people will not like an outsider. "She said, looking up at him. 

    His jaw set tight and his amber eyes were shining more suddenly, "You're not an outsider. "His voice was dark and commanding.
