Royal Princess: Doted On By The Mafia King

Rose thought about when she got home and she could not get to a conclusion. She suspended her thoughts after a while of thinking it through. She still had a month.

"Princess, did you have breakfast?" Liam's voice asked from the other end of the call.

"No, I am going downstairs for breakfast," she replied trying hard to fight the urge she felt to hang up. He did not contact her or try to find her while she was writing her exams.

She hated to admit she was angry about that because it will only make her also admit the fact that she had been waiting for his call almost everyday.

"You don't sound well. Did you sleep well?" he asked worriedly.

"Are you calling me to have breakfast with you?" she asked coldly as she paused behind her door to end the call before stepping out she was not ready to answer the questions Anna will definitely have for her if she sees her making a call.

"No, I am in Star city. I won't be back till dinner time. I wanted to have dinner with you," he replied with a hint of playfulness in his voice.

"Fine. I have to eat my breakfast," she said and hung up. She rubbed her hot face when she realized she just asked if he wanted to eat breakfast with her. Shouldn't that be weird?

Liam looked at the screen of his phone and smirked. He could feel her embarrassment in the last sentence she said to him before hanging up. He was actually making progress with her.

She will soon fall so deep without realizing it. Charlie was very right, it was best he stays close to her but yet far. He was not heeding to Charlie's advice but he gave her a break to focus on her examinations and it actually worked well.

He would have considered using that method if he had enough time but no one knew better than him of how short time was for him in all the plans and moves he had to make.

He raised his head and looked at Charlie who walked into his office after knocking. "Boss the meeting will begin in twenty minutes," Charlie informed his boss with a smile.

Liam nodded. "I will join them as soon it is time," he replied to his subordinate's information and turned his large black leather swivel chair to face the ceiling-to-floor window to hide the smile that he could not keep off his lips.

He hoped the meeting will be as short as possible so he could go back to B city in time for lunch. If his princess wanted to have dinner with him, then he could not delay her.

"Rose, wake up," Anna called waving her hands in front of Rose as she had been doing seconds ago.

"Hmm?" she had to ask when her sister's hand got so close to her eyes it needed to overcome on an inch to touch her face.

"You zoned out. Why? What were you thinking about?" Anna inquired placing her cutlery down and leaned against the back rest of the chair and folded her hands on her chest as she waited for her sister's answer.

Rose ignored her sister's questions and continued eat after a while, she was unable to keep eating with her sister watching her closely.

She dropped her cutlery and leaned back slightly. "The tour we are planning. I am not sure I can go," she lied since she was sure if what to tell her sister.

She could not tell her sister she was thinking of a very handsome powerful man who wanted to have dinner with her. She could not also tell her sister that she was scolding herself for indirectly asking him to eat breakfast with her.

She had too many things on her mind but they were all connected to that very hot guy who had almost inhuman very gorgeous grey eyes.

"Why?" her sister groaned unhappily. "We are going on the tour soon."

"I am a little scared," Rose continued her lies. She had planned to go to Star city but since it was a lie she had to keep on with, she did not hold back.

"I am here for you," Anna told her confidently as she beat her chest gently.

"I should be saying that not you," Rose said shaking her head.

"Is it because you are older?"

"Yes, of course," Rose replied nodding confidently.

"Whatever, I really don't care but I want us to get familiar with Star city. Just a week tour, okay? Mum said the penthouse is ready for our arrival. I always wanted to go back there since my last visit," Anna said excitedly.

"Oh, sure. I will get my bag ready," Rose answered so she could begin eating her breakfast, she was famished.

"Yeah. Don't back out a second before entering the plane," Anna warned her with a playful glare.

"Yes ma'am. I won't," Rose replied taking up her cutlery to begin eating.

"Promise?"

"Promise," Rose replied with a groan.

"You've promised," Anna reminded her before she began eating.

Rose ignored her sister and began filling her painfully empty stomach.

'Should I pick you up for dinner?' Rose read the text and stared at her friends who seemed to be having a lot of fun as they planned set up a camp at the back of the house.

"Rose, what else do you think we need?" Debby asked looking at her friend who had been quiet all long.

"I don't know, I have never done this before," Rose replied. She frowned with her fist clinched behind her because she knew it will be really hard to escape them all. "Perhaps we don't need to do it."

"What?" Wayne asked staring at her as though she had multiple heads.

"You can't be serious right?" Lizzie, Wayne's new girlfriend asked in disbelief.

"Yeah I'm serious. It could get really cold at night," Rose replied shaking her head.

"That is actually the fun of it. If it gets too cold for you, you can go upstairs to your room," Wayne told her hugging his girlfriend from behind.

She frowned, she might have to skip today's dinner which she did not want to. She missed him no matter how she wanted to hide the fact from herself.

She missed his warm hug, his assurances that he was close by and there for her. He seemed to understand her better than anyone will ever.

"I will go upstairs then, if it gets too cold."

"She agreed, let's go on with the plan," Anna said sighing in relief.

Rose groaned silently and went into the house through the back door regretting. She wished she did not agree since it looked like Anna was ready to cancel the plan if she disagreed.

'Sorry, I can't make it,' she texted sadly.

'Some other time.'

When she saw his reply, she really wanted to cry. The last time she saw him was months ago she wondered when the next time will be.

After all the craziness (fun) of her friends was over while she sat beside the camp fire watching them sadly, she went to the tent the boys helped her set up. It was a large tent but she insisted to stay in it alone while her sister shared a tent with Debby.

When she was sure that they were all asleep, she went back into the house to her room, to the comfort of her soft bed and warm comforter. She glanced at the time on the screen of her phone, it was an hour past midnight and she was tired.

She fell asleep almost immediately after she closed her eyes.

"Rose, wake up."
