Laura POV
I stared at him shocked and at the same time happy. I can't believe, this isn't real. Someone please wake me up."Laura, I really really like you and you see I.... "
"Just shut up already, I'll be your girlfriend," I blurted, smiling like a sheep. His eyes showed his reaction, shock. I can't blame him though."You just....." He breathed, "Really?" he asked dumbfounded and I laughed. Because of the way words flew out from his mouth.
"Thank you," he smiled. "I mean thanks babe," he grinned and I chuckled shyly while I blushed.
"I am not a baby," I stated and he shrugged, "You're right, you are my baby," he said and I huffed.
"I am not any one's baby," I frowned. These days, they call me baby too much. It's mostly Nelly and am tired of it buti love it when Gabriel calls me that, but it's better he doesn't find out.
"Aww, my baby is so cute when she is mad," Gabriel said and I rolled my eyes, covering my blush.
"Now th
Laura POVLuke paced down the room while Sandra was trying to calm him down. So far, he had been more frustrated than any of us. The doctors were yet to give us some feedback and we had been in the hospital since yesterday night till the next morning."What's taking him so long," Luke yelled, the nurses around glared at him.Apparently, we were in their family doctor's hospital. "Luke you need to calm down," Sandra said trying to talk some sense into the raging Luke."I'm gonna kill that guy," Luke said with his fist clinched."Hey, look at me," Sandra said as she nudged him."I understand that you are worried. We are all worried, the best thing for us to do is to stay calm and we'll get through this," she stated and Luke sighed."How can I stay calm when my sister is badly hurt and in a freaking ward, huh? Tell me!" he demanded. It made Sandra flinch and shake bow her head with fear."I'm so sorry," he muttered after
Laura POVWe stayed with Katherine, chatting and laughing with her just to make her feel at ease. You know, I have been spending a lot of time with these three, but my three is back in the orphanage feeling blue. I admit I have not been spending time with them that much but I hope they don't notice. Who am I kidding, they would have noticed it but they won't tell me.The door flung open and Luke walked in, looking like he ran a marathon race."What's wrong why did you barge in like that," Sandra queried Luke, who was trying to catch his breath. He slowly waved his hand and stared at Anne."Anne, your mom's here. Technically, she's in the house and she's looking for youx" he stated and Anne gasped."Is she alone?" Anne asked. "No, she brought multiple of guards and my dad is keeping her company," he said, finally able to catch his breath he walked over to Kat bed side."Ugh, that's my mom alright," Anne mumbled. "You guys should go I'll s
*Laura Point Of View*I woke up the next day and got ready for my morning chores. I totally forgot that Anne left that I went to knock on her door for laundry. When I got no reply, I remembered that she left.I sighed deeply and went on with my work. As usually, Fred took me to school but it was after I checked on Katherine. And guess what? She's gonna be discharged today."Hey gir--- ladies," I smiled when I saw my friends seated. Everyone except Gabriel was there."Hi Max, Ricky," I turned to each of them and they smiled."How was your night?" I asked and dropped my bag and collapsed on my seat. "Bad, I had a horrible dream and when I woke up I couldn't sleep again," Harper pouted and I gasped dramatically."That's so bad," I tilted my head and she rolled her eyes. "What about you Nelly," I called and she sighed."I actually went to my uncle's house yesterday and came back late in the night " Nelly yawned. "I didn't have enough
Laura's Point Of View"Laura. Laura!" A hand slighty grazed over my face. "Huh?" I shook my head in confusion."We are about to go into the gym and you just froze," Nelly spoke.Oh! It was just my imaginations. Remember what happened the first day I introduced myself in the orphanage that's what just happened.I'm so happy that it isn't real. Gabriel is still with me and so are my friends.I looked at my friends staring at me, worry written boldly on their faces."I am fine," I held myself from running into their arms including Gabriel's."Come on," he dragged me. "We are going to be late now," I blurted and our friends trailed behind us.He held me close and looked around, probably for Cody..... Is it me or does it feel familiar like in my trance. I don't want it to end like that, I have to change my answer.And even if I say yes, I don't think that Gabriel or my friends will ever leave me, but yet again
*Luke's Point Of View*I stared at myself through the mirror as I raked my hair with my fingers.My eyes lingered on the black suit that is a bit far from me, positioned neatly.I have a day left for the wedding and I am so nervous in a bad way, or good way? Well I don't know.Me getting married is exciting but the only thing wrong is that I don't love her. I don't know why I thought this could work. I'm clearly having thoughts. Anne's beautiful and all but I don't love her, I don't.I agreed to this because of the orphanage, I was ready to do it but now something is holding me back. Anne and I don't share a feeling, a feeling that I share with....Sandra.I know that I and Sandra have been distance and that's suppose to make me fail a bit out of love with her but....every single time I see her walked pass me with a shy smile I think of what am missing.I'm missing Sandra.I snapped quickly out of my thoughts when a knock was he
*Laura's Point Of View*It have been an hour now. I've been on my huge bed since we were giving our rooms.My legs are aching to move around but I'm a guest, it might look strange. But it's so tempting...Ahhh!!!I have to meet Anne atleast. I walked out of my room and slowly approached Luke's room felling uncomfortable about the guards around.I felt like I'm been watched everywhere I go.I hastily knocked on the door, wanting to get inside as quick as possible."Hey," I called as the door opened to smiling Luke."Come in," I quickly scrambled inside not wanting to waste anytime."Okay? What's that about?" Luke queried, with a puzzled look."I just feel like I'm being watched by the guards. It's new to me but I don't like it. I feels awkward," I stated and I chuckled."I haven't gotten used to that very much too. I was a kid when I started coming here and it felt strange but I didn't care.""I'll try
*Luke's Point Of View*"Do you Luke Muller accept Princess Anne of England to be lawfully wedded wife?" The priest asked."I do, I said hestitatedly. I can see her tensed up and I instantly regret my words."Do her majestic, princess Anne of England accept Luke Muller to be your lawfully wedded husband?" The place is silent. We both don't want this and whatever that she says seals our faith.She takes a glance at her mother before she sighed. "I do," the crowd breaks in applauds. They rejoiced but we didn't, we we weren't getting married to the one we loved.The cake cutting and the rest were done simultaneously. In a moment I turned to were Sandra was sitting but, she wasn't there. My eyes scanned the whole area but she was no where to be found.In the mist of my searching and state of being tensed I heard a scream, we all heard a scream and we dashed out towards the direction.The sight there was traumatising. Sandra was beneath the
*Anne's Point Of View*I woke up at the sound of the alarm. Today is the day, my wedding day. How great! Feel free to note my sarcasm.In seconds, my room was flooded by the maids and my mother."Mother, can't I have some more minutes, I'm still sleepy," I rubbed my eyes and yawned."It's morning already," Mother said as she slowly opened the curtains.The ray of sun reflected on me and I groaned. I never wanted morning to come. I wanted the night to repeat itself over and over again, just to avoid the wedding.In seconds, I was dragged out of the bed and into the bathroom. I was stripped of my clothes and put into the bath tub. The thing with being a princess is that I don't do a thing.I don't wash my clothes or pull my clothes or bath by myself.The maids scrubbed my body quickly. Once they were done, I was wrapped with a towel.I was baptised with lotion. I sat on my dressing stool and let the maid do their work. The
