LOVE AGAIN

Prince got into the car and found me already mouth full with the food he bought, he shook his head and started the engine.

“You love it?”

He asked and smiled then looked back to the road,

“Yeah I love it, like this is life, I love love it, thanks Baby”.

I kissed him, staining his cheek with the sauce on my lips.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

I burst into laughter seeing that stain.

“What?”

“Nothing”,

I laughed and waved at him.

“You painted my cheek with the ketchup right?”

I nodded and smiled at him.

He had a tissue by the seat side, I wanted to clean it but he took it first and cleaned the steering wheel with a hand.

“So did the doctor said anything I should know of?”

My eyes widened, I swallowed hard.

“I…emmm.. she scolded me for taking alcohol “.

I sipped my carrot smoothie and looked away from him.

“Alcohol?”

He asked a bit confused and suddenly snapped. “Yes! Why didn’t I stop you then, Angel, no more alcohol from now on, including me!”

He instructed as if he was also carrying the baby.

I laughed and looked at him, glad he didn’t get angry about the alcohol thing.

“Do you want some?”

I asked, without hoping to share anyway.

“Yes please!”

“Baby it’s for me and the baby”I pouted.

“Yes I am the baby, you just called me baby, give me mine please!”

He said, opening his mouth.

I tried not to laugh then put the chips into his mouth and gave him my smoothie to sip.

After he focused on the road fully and thanked me.

The next day, Zoey suggested we go shopping for my first birthday as a bride. She seemed more excited and ready than myself. She pressed on Prince till he agreed that we would go shopping together.

“Are you ready sweet Val?”

“I need to shop for my big day”she ordered.

“It’s my big day Zoey not yours”I chuckled and put on her hair in a bun.

“Ooops I forgot my birthday is coming soon this month too”she announced excitedly.

“Can’t find any girl cuter?”

I said and kissed her cheeks, then put my hair in a ponytail.

“Are you guys set?”Prince walked into Zoey’s room looking like a hot idol.

“Yeah!”

Zoey jumped from the chair and ran to him.

“Baby, you look very handsome in that, let me pick a simpler outfit, before you think I am being insecure I am not”.

I said and walked straight to his room.

I heard him laugh with Zoey.

He however came to the room to change the outfit.

“So which one do you suggest I wear?”

I found the perfect one, and a hoodie.

“Here no one will look at you in those”.

He smiled and went for a change, few minutes he walked out of the dressing room as if it was some new charm unlocked, he even made a cute pose with his face, my jaw dropped then I frowned at the disappointment.

“How do I look?”

He winked.

“I don’t think this is the result you expected sweet Val”Zoey added fuel to my fury.

“I know okay!”

I yelled at her.

“Why are you so good looking! I give up”I folded my hand and turned pouting.

He came and hugged me from the back with tiny kisses on my cheeks.

“Trust me, I am going to warn all those ladies to back off”he whispered, I blushed a bit.

Zoey rolled her eyes.

“Trust me , Frog Prince never tells women to back off,”She added.

“Zoey got out of the room now!”

Prince snapped at her.

I laughed and turned to him.

“Well guilty huh?”

“It’s not true…. that’s before you I promise”.

As we set out, Zoey was the first to run out heading to the garage, just then I had a flash of the dream I had the night before, I panicked and called Prince’s attention

“I had a bad dream the night of my award winning, but it wasn’t clear, it repeated last night. That’s strange, it never happened to me before”.

“Calm down, okay, nothing is going to happen”he assured me with a peck.

“Let’s just cancel this for tomorrow, I am really worried, please Baby we can still go for it tomorrow right?”

He sighed.”Is it about an accident?”

“I can’t remember”I said thinking hard, I really tried to remember but it wasn’t coming. I don’t know if it was because of the drink I had that night.

Prince held my hand, I looked up at him.

“Maybe it’s just a nightmare, your dream revelations are always clear right?”

I nodded.

“So it might not be one of them, also we are together, nothing will happen, nothing will happen”.

He saw I am not yet convinced.

“We will take a cab, nobody will know we are the one without the convey, it will be safer, what do you think?”

I nodded in relief.

“I think that’s a good idea, to stay undercover”.

We kissed and he called a cab, while I and Zoey stood there and watched.

“We will go by ourselves,”.

He told the security driver Incharge of convoys, the driver bowed and went back to his position.

The cab arrived a few minutes later. Zoey hesitated to drive in a cab, it’s her first time. I had to convince her that I will deal with Prince for her when we return. At last she agreed to go in the car.

We went into the cab and the driver drove off.

*”?VAL’S POV?**

We are in the woods, can’t say the location we really are. I shouldn’t have told him about the dream of making him go out without security, this is all my fault. Why didn’t I get the revelation clearly?

It was an attack just like I dreamt, the cab driver was nowhere to be found, before the crash all I could hear was hitting sounds and Prince’s screams, I could remember he was protecting us.

I struggled to get up , my head aching, I could feel the thick fluid from my head when I hit on the floor flowing freely, I didn’t care, I checked myself for possible pain or blood under my skirt but found none, with a bit relief I crawled towards Zoey, she had fainted and then there’s a loud scream.

I paused crawling and looked around with my blur vision, it was Prince with his hands on his face.

“Baby!”

I cried out and crawled faster towards him, it wasn’t helping, I managed to stand , my eyes were dizzy , I felt sight blurring, I may black out any moment from now.

It was like a dream, my heart was so heavy that crying was hard, tears flowing down my chest was infinite.
