My Prince Of Edinburgh's

Chapter 28. Prestige with His Character.

Dara threw her body on the living room couch in her apartment. He removed the trace of Nicholas' lips on his lips while hissing. Dara didn't think Nicholas would do that to her.

"It's crazy that Nicholas," grumbled Dara.

"Hey, why talk to yourself?" asked Gwenn who had just walked out of his room towards the kitchen.

Dara turned her head and grimaced to see Gwenn looking at her in surprise. His best friend was not excited if he told him what Nicholas had done.

"Ah, Dara, yesterday I found a white T-shirt on the sofa. I put it in your filthy laundry basket" Gwenn said as he stepped into the freezer.

"Owh, white sweatshirt?" ask Dara. A moment later he patted her on the forehead. Must be Nicholas's.

"Not yours?" Gwenn opened the refrigerator door and returned the freshly squeezed juice box.

"Mmmm .. that ...."

"Ooowh, have a man?" Gwenn rushed towards him. Predictably, he will extract information from Dara.

"Mmmm .. no, mmm .. yes, actually ... at night you went to your boyfriend's place, Nicholas stayed here."

Gwenn. "Nicholas? Stay here? Nicholas Johanssen?" tanyanya.

Dara nodded as she stomped her nape. "Yes," he answered.

"How can you?"

"long story. Obviously, not what you think. I have nothing to do with him."

Gwenn squinted at Dara suspiciously. Whatever the reason Nicholas stayed at their apartment and was alone with Dara, there must be something going on between the two.

"Whatever it is, Dara ...." Gwenn cupped his own two cheeks and shook his body. "Nicholas must be after you" he quipped.

"Yes, he's after me as his bully target."

"Not that, Dara. Nicholas likes you."

Dara exhaled his breath rough. That was also what Nicholas told him. The young man liked it. Ahh-definitely just bullshit. But, what about Nicholas' kiss.

"I have to go to work" said Dara as she moved from her seat. He ignored Gwenn who muttered to himself. Reveals his astonishment at Dara who has gained the attention of a Nicholas Johanssen, but just does not want to admit it.

While Dara who had changed her clothes, went from the apartment to her workplace which she had to take on foot for thirty minutes. Not to mention he had to pass through the vulnerable Lothian Road with care so as not to attract the attention of naughty young men who often hang out in front of the store.

Half gasping he pushed open the glass door and found Allison at the counter smiling at him. The girl greeted Dara kindly.

"Hi, Dara."

"Hello, Allison," said Dara while putting a sling bag in her locker near the cash register. "How was your vacation?" tanyakanya.

"Enough fun."

Dara smiled. Then step towards the slightly messy flower shelves and immediately tidy them up. Maybe a buyer came.

"How's Braden?" allison asked, making Dara gasp.

"Braden?" Dara frowned. He stopped his activity tidying up the flower pots and looked at Allison.

"Yes, has he expressed his feelings for you?"

"Owh." Dana was surprised to hear Allison's question. "I don't know what you mean."

"Braden likes you. He told me," Allison explained.

Allison chuckles. His smile remained on his lips. He was not at all bothered by his own words. "Yes, I'm serious."

"But ...."

"Don't think about me, Dara. I'm it's okay. I can't continue my relationship with Braden because of something or another" Allison said.

Dara doesn't know what to answer. Between happiness, surprise and unpleasant feelings with Allison mixed into one. It was like a dream to hear Braden also had the same feeling with him. Although he had not heard directly from the young man.

For Dara, this will be the most beautiful valentine gift, if Braden expresses his love for her. It feels like Dara wants to jump around so excited. But, he must hold back and be mediocre, considering he is talking to Braden's ex-girlfriend.

And in the afternoon, Dara was also surprised by Braden's arrival to Allison's flower shop. His chest pounded when Braden said he had come to pick him up.

Dara hoped once Nicholas did not appear suddenly and messed up. Recalling that annoying young man, his heart became misgivings.

After saying goodbye to Allison, Dara followed Braden to his car parked in front of the store. He looked back and forth to check if there was a figure of Nicholas around. Safe.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat sweetly beside Braden who was holding the wheel. The young man smiled at her before driving away from the place.

"You don't want to go straight to your apartment, do you?" braden asked, as if he understood what Dara was thinking.

The girl was hoping that Braden would take her somewhere, somewhere important they could talk. Or if Dara is lucky, Braden will express his feelings.

"Yes, if you have an idea to take me somewhere," said Dara.

Braden pinched his lips. "We just go down the Edinbugh street" he said. "I'm sorry, I haven't got an idea of where to spend the afternoon."

Dara pinched her forehead to eliminate the awkward feeling she was experiencing at this time. He glanced at Braden. Her neat-looking appearance made her chest flutter violently.

"It looks like the Johanssen prince likes you."

Dara gasps. "Owh, no, no. He was happy to prank me. I guess he's just happy to mess up."

"Is that?" ask Braden.

Dara nodded steadily. "A girl like me can't be on her radar."

"Why? You're beautiful" said Braden.

Somehow Dara calmed his heart which was now timid to hear the praise of the young man. Just this time he heard Braden praising her as beautiful.

"Or is he just curious about you? Maybe you're different from the other girls .. who he can get easily."

Dara's back is shaking. He doesn't know what Nicholas thinks of him, and honestly he doesn't care. Dara also wanted to forget about the incident earlier this afternoon. Remembering him made his sense of regret for Nicholas reappear.

"What about you? Aren't you interested in him?" ask Braden.

"I? To Nicholas?" Dara chuckles. "Not at all. You know I don't like his own demeanor. Forcers, bullies, rude, annoying, bullies and .." he explained, as if he had known Nicholas so well.

However, in her heart Dara admitted that there was another side of Nicholas that made her feel something strange in her heart. Recalling as Nicholas listened to his outpouring of heart the night as he watched Braden and Allison kiss. The young man tried to comfort him even though his ways were really annoying.

Then, while Nicholas was staying at his apartment, Dara accidentally woke up in the middle of the night, and saw Nicholas sleeping peacefully next to him. The roll that was the barrier between them was still in place. And that was the first time Dara saw Nicholas look so sweet.

Braden's laughter blew away Dara's daydream. The girl chuckled.

"It looks like you've got a terrible taste of the Prince's character" Braden said, glancing at Dara.
