I sat there with a drink in my hand...watching my best friend dance with her partner with a smile on my face. She seemed very happy... And I loved watching her smile. I shifted my gaze to the man that sat at the other end of hall. The man I despised with all my heart. Or so I hoped. He looked wonderful as always. With a suit as black as his hair with golden linings. He wore his dashing smile that showcased his dimples. Every woman that looked at him would turn red. I hated him. At least I thought I did. These past few weeks that I spend with him made me realize that he wasn't the cocky,mean and cruel prince I thought he was. I naturally hated him as he was the prince of the enemy kingdom. But then father put forward an alliance. He came to the castle very often after that. He always iritated me. And he enjoyed it. I enjoyed bickering with him too. But then I realised that he was actually a very caring and sweet man. He cared for his people. He is just beautiful. In every way a person can be beautiful. I suddenly became aware of the thoughts in my head and told myself to shut up. I turned to look at him again but he had dissapeared. "You look stunning princess." His deep voice sent shivers down my spine. I turned to see my enemy with that sly smile of his plastered on his face. "What do I owe this displeasure, your highness?" I said disguising myself with a confident tone. He put his hand over his chest and said "ouch,that hurt. I sometimes forget that underneath this gorgeous woman is a bratty princess" I chuckled and said "I'll take that as a compliment" He smiled and held out his hand "May I,the handsome displeasure have this dance?" "Why,yes you may" I heard myself answer. What was I doing. My enemy,my nemesis,my rival. The man that I once dispised with my whole heart was now dragging me to the dance floor. The worst part was that, I did not hate it one bit. Before I could even process what was happening, he grabbed me by my waist and pulled me close. I almost let out a gasp. But I was too stubborn to let him know how much of a nervous wreck I was by his touch. I could not believe myself. I the princess, I the brave warrior who had fought so many battles and had won almost every one of them. I the brave woman who feared no one. Was trying to slow down her heart beating at the sight of this man. He and I waltzed around the ballroom and it was obvious that every single person in the room were staring at us. I cannot imagine how histerical the sight must've been... The princess and the prince of the enemy kingdom dancing together. But we didn't care. None of it mattered. At that moment, it was just the two of us and our racing hearts. " Did I mention you look stunning?cuz you do." "Careful your highness, two compliments in a row. We might just become friends." He chuckled and said "Oh we could never be friends. Trust me, I've tried to see you as a friend." "It didn't work,did it?" I said smiling at the memory of our constant banters. "I thought it did. But with the way my heart races when I look at you, I'm sure as hell that it will never work" I tried to calm myself down after I heard those words. My heart was beating so fast that I almost choked. I tried not to make it obvious how much of an impact his words made on me. I looked into his deep brown eyes and my efforts seemed to go to waste. I was staring for far too long. I couldn't help it. He was so beautiful. "Careful princess, if you keep looking at me like that, you might just fall in love" He said smirking. I scoffed and said "In your dreams prince" "We'll see about that." He dipped me against floor and as I straightened and looked at his sweet face once again,I realised that I was in fact falling for him. I was hopelessly falling in love with this man. And that scared me. But oh, I didn't care one bit...I smiled as we stayed with each other in our arms. And the world somehow seemed to have stopped.....
