A Lifetime with Prince Obnoxious [Part 13]

"Waffles?"

"I want muffins."

"Hell no."

"Damn you."

Ever since I woke up, I have this cravings for muffins - I've no idea why. And ever since I had this craving, Alex treat me like I'm some kind of a...a...muffin addict.

"I'm in pain you know! What kind of boyfriend would leave her girlfriend in pain?!"

"Me."

Smart.

It's been a week since I got out of the hospital. Nick gave me 2 weeks off and I didn't protest (to his surprise), just because I really am in pain right now. I can't move much without making funny faces to hide my pain.

Alex sat down beside me and pulled me closer to him. He suddenly nibbled lightly on my ear. I laughed and pushed him. "Stop it, that tickles."

"That's why it's fun," Alex said. "Want to know what's going on in my head right now?" He whispered.

"What?" I exclaimed loudly, turning my head around to look at him.

"I'll tell you later."

"But! BUT-!"

"Later Melissa," he said, stroking my hair.

"Later when? Next year?" I snappped. I swear this guy is too mysterious for his own good.

"Even I can't wait that long," he mumbled. I raised my eyebrow.

"At dinner. I'm taking you out."

"Are you sure you want to do that? It's not enough that the press knows your father had tried to kill me for hanging out around you, they want more Ale-"

I was cut off by a kiss.

"Stop cutting me off by kissing me dammit!" I snapped. Alex laughed.

About a few days ago, I found out that King Richard had been a total ass and tried to kill me. This news got out actually and the press are all over it. King Richard, however, repeatedly state that it was the secret service fault since they lead him to think that I am a national threat.

Rubbish.

And the case? It was dismissed just like that. I hate this, but what can I do?

Right now, I'm currently in Alex's chateau in Provence. He promised to get me back to work as soon as my break is over. Bummer.

"I'm sorry," he suddenly said, staring into space. I tilted my head to the side a tad. "For what?"

"In case you haven't notice, my father tried to kill you," he said, waving off. I bursted into laughter. "You're not the one who tried to kill me right?" I said, wrapping my arms around his neck and lightly kissing his neck.

"Yes but I can tell you're pissed off."

I smiled. "I am."

"See?" he smirked. 2 seconds later, his lips met mine. I kissed him passionately back.

Alex plan was simple: Take Melissa to a fancy restaurant, put a diamond ring in desert and propose.

Classic, simple and easy (it is?).

Melissa was wearing a beautiful cocktail dress that night. Alex smirked when he thought of taking it off tonight.

"This place is amazing," she cooed, looking out.

"It is isn't it? This place have the most amazing wine you'll ever taste...that is, if you want to," Alex said, teasingly. Melissa stuck out her tongue. "Gee, I'm sorry that I'm not an alcoholic!"

They spent half an hour talking and eating, until something caught Melissa's eyes and ears. There was a yelp and the words 'I do' being spoken out from someone. She spluttered, trying to hide her laughter.

"What?"

"Engagement ring in cake? Pfft, how cheesy is that? I don't know...if there was a guy who proposed to me like that, I would had said no!" Melissa said, then laughed.

Alex suddenly choked on his wine, spilling some on his pants (thank god it was black).

"Are you okay-?"

"I uh, I'll be right back," Alex said and rushed into the kitchen to get back his ring.

Okay, maybe it was not that easy.
