My Prince Of Edinburgh's

Chapters 14. Frustrations.

"Hey! Are you treating or torturing me?" Nicholas brushed off Dara's hand which deliberately pressed the wound on the corner of her lips hard.

Dara did not flinch. He kept repeating the same treatment on Nicholas' lips. So the young man finally told Dara to stop.

Dara hissed as she moved towards the P3K box that was stuck near the door of her room. He was looking for bruising-busting oparim gel that just happened to be there. Maybe Gwen put it there.

"Remove yourself." Dara throws the gel at Nicholas.

"Hey! Can't do. That's your job!" nicholas protests while throwing back the gel on Dara.

Dara hurriedly caught the thing. "Can't you do it yourself? Are you that stupid?"

"I don't want to do it myself because I want to teach you how to thank you!"

Dara chuckles. "Oh, very clever, yes, Spoiled Child!"

"You want me out of here, right? So, hurry up."

Dara growled in annoyance. He was forced to do so by Nicholas' request. Smearing the corners of his lips and part of his bruised face.

"You're sweet too, huh?" kekeh Nicholas looked at Dara.

"I don't need your compliments!" Dara finishes the last smear on Nicholas' cheek. "Done up! Now, go (Done! Now go)!"

"Hey, I need to rest a little while." Nicholas casually settles down on the sofa.

"What?!" Dara nodded in disbelief. Nicholas broke his promise. The girl could no longer bear the presence of Nicholas.

"Don't you see I'm exhausted?"

Dara growling. His teeth were cracking, and his hands were clenching. Really, dealing with Nicholas could make him high blood.

"You must have a very comfortable and nice room in your palace. Or, your fancy apartment. Why do you have to rest here?"

"Because I want to." Nicholas poked his shoulder.

"Aargha!" Dara raised both hands while shaking her head. There's no point in serving that one human.

"Whatever!" gerutu Dara stepped inside his room. He closed the door hard, and locked it.

Nicholas laughed at Dara's behavior. While lying down, he looked around. Very sad, he thought. The apartment is quite small. There are two people who inhabit and must share the bathroom.

For Nicholas, this was the first time he had been in such a shanty place. Just this time. And that was because he was so upset and curious about the figure of the Asian girl who inhabited him.

Dara, who had just dropped out of the classroom, was startled by Sophie's sudden appearance before him. From the look on her face, Dara could guess that the girl was unhappy.

"It turns out you're a sneaky girl, huh?" Sophie pushed Dara's shoulder until the girl's back hit the wall.

Of course, Dara really hates Sophie for damaging her favorite bike that has just been repaired. If this wasn't a campus environment, Dara would have rewarded the girl with a raw bogem. But, he tried to be patient, not wanting to make a fuss.

"Tell me what you mean, don't make small talk." The back thrust on Sophie's shoulder. Although he did not want to make a fuss, but, he did not like being bullied.

"You want to take Nicholas away from me. Doesn't it? Just confess to you!" show Sophie right in front of Dara's face.

"What's? Where'd you get a stupid idea like that?"

"I saw you close to Nicholas."

Dara clucked. "You can tell your boyfriend not to bother me" he said, pushing Sophie's body away from him.

"Auch!" Dara was suffocating when suddenly her hair was pulled hard. Who else would have done it if it wasn't Sophie.

"Just take your foot off."

Dara tried to save her hair from the torment of the girl who was enveloped in anger. The few passers-by had absolutely no intention of stopping Sophie's persecution of him.

"Nicholas who?"

Sophie and Dara turned to the origin of the voice together. Nicholas stood not far from the two girls. Sophie slowly released her grip on Dara's hair.

"Why are you bothering Dara?" ask Nicholas.

The tone of his voice is normal. But, to Sophie, it sounded very painful. Nicholas spoke the girl's name, as if she was important to him.

"I-I just don't want you to get close to this cunning girl, Nic."

Nicholas's laughter escaped. "You got a big glass in your house?" insinuations Nicholas. The young man grabbed Dara's arm and took the girl away from Sophie's face which instantly widened his eyes.

"Deliver!" Dara pulled her arm rough. He didn't want people to think he was Nicholas' new toy.

"Hey, Dara! Wait!" exclaim Nicholas. He raised both hands watching Dara running away from him.

"Basic freak!" his gerutu then shook his head.

While Dara, she manages to find Gwen who just dropped out of her class. Breathing gasps.

"You why?" gwen asked as she examined Dara's reddened face.

"Come, go home," Dara asked as she held Gwen's arm.

"Become?" The curious Gwen demanded that Dara explain the meaning of her strange attitude.

"I'll tell you later" said Dara.

Gwen thumped a lip. "Here," he said.

Arriving at their apartment, only Gwen again asked what happened. He was concerned for his best friend. Lately become irritable and nervous.

"It's all because of those shitty people!" grout Dara. He tells of Sophie's distraction that he got.

"If you know this, I shouldn't have to take my bike to Nicholas. If I know ... I'm dealing with .. eerrrrgh!" erang Dara growled.

Gwen laughed at Dara's story. His friend looked so frustrated.

"I don't know what to call you stupid or what. Clearly, all the girls wanted to deal with Nicholas. But, you're the stress he's making, '" said Gwen.

"You know how surprised I was when you brought Nicholas home yesterday?"

"Hey! I didn't bring her home. He forced it," Dara said.

"But, you're great, Dara. A Nicholas is willing to be battered for you."

Dara clucked. "He's out of work."

"He's curious about you."

"eeegh! Don't make it!"

"But he's already curious about you, Silly!"

Dara pinched his forehead. He doesn't want all that. He just wants to live peacefully in this country without dealing with people who are certainly not of his circle.

Dara closed her eyes. Braden's shadow just flashed. Suddenly he felt missed. Missed spending time with the young man, chatting about anything, laughing at his jokes, going to Edinburgh corners he had never been to, and so on.

However, every time Dara saw Alison, she felt Braden was no longer hers. Yes, it was never his. But, all the fun things in Braden, Alison was the one who enjoyed it. Sure.

Ah-lucky that boss.

"Become? I think you're starting to have symptoms of stress" said Gwen in a panic.
