We made it back to the castle.

By means of we, me and Selena after some negotiations she decides to come back. She is really stubborn and annoying. I can't believe I'm going to marry her.

"Welcome back, Miss Selena." My dad said. I internally rolled my eyes. Me and dad were close before but after mom we stop talking and probably because I am older now so I distance myself a little bit from him. I mean, not a little bit but a big one. We still talk because he needs to teach some things of handling the kingdom but we're not buddies as I can say.

"Thanks, King Jared." Selena replied.

"I hope Harry wasn't a pain in the ass." He said and slightly glared at me.

"He wasn't. Don't worry." She said and he nodded.

"Well, I'm going to go and continue some kingdom works. You two, do whatever you want." He said and I nodded. We were walking at the hallways of the palace. No one speaks until Selena was in front of her bedroom.

"Uhhmmm, thanks for covering me from my dad." I said and scratched my nape. She smiled.

"I told you, I take those deals seriously. As long as you take those seriously too then we're fine." She said and Nicole came.

"Selena!" She said and hugged her. I internally smiles.
"I miss you." Selena said and I stand awkwardly.

"Oh, sorry, Prince Harry. I was too caught up." Nicole said.

"It's okay, you two didn't see each other for weeks I'm gonna leave now." I said and Selena nodded. They go inside her room and I walk my way to my room.

Smiling wasn't my thing since mom died. I didn't really know what or how to react at the situation.

I was 11 years old back then, my mom was doing visits on the other city while my dad stayed here because of kingdom issues. I was playing with my maid Kayla when my dad rushes past my bedroom. I remember asking him why he was in a rush.

"Dad, why are you in a rush?" I said and looked at him.

"Do you want to come with me, Harry?" He asked and nodded. Me and dad were close we play golf and everything when he's on break or when my mom told him to stop working.

"Okay, dad." I said and he hugged me tightly. That's the first time I saw dad cried.

"Let's go." He said.

We rushed to the hospital and I started prying dad with question. That's when I saw mom, not breathing and paler than she was. I know she's dead. But I can't believe that she is dead. More like, I don't want to believe. My mom died because of a car crash. I want to be there. I want to be the one to die not her. She is my first love. A girl that will never replace by anything in the world.

After the incident, I stop smiling. What's the point of smiling when you don't have a reason to. That's when I met her. She was beautiful and all I can ever think was her. She was in the activity but never picked out. We met at some bar when I sneak out of the castle. So, there's some rumors about me that they saw me. The rules were me being hidden so the girls my age will try their best to make me like them. I like her. She makes me happy.

I snapped out of my trance when there's a knock on my bedroom door. There standing was Selena dressed in a cocktail dress.

"The dinner was ready." She said and I nodded before following her. I eyed her while she was walking. I will admit that Selena was beautiful but my heart was with someone else already.

Or I thought it was.

After dinner, we decided to call it a night. We have some schedule tomorrow and it will be tiring again. I tried to close my eyes but It doesn't work. I sighed and stood up. When I was a kid, my habit was going in the balcony and gaze all of the stars. My mom said that there's someone looking at it too at the same time whenever I look at them and she said that the person who look at them was your soulmate. Of course, being a child I believe in those things but now I grew up, there's a part of me that still believes in it even though I like someone, there's still a part of me that missing.

I decided to go at the balcony. In this times, there's no maids or guards roaming around. It's because there's a rule about roaming around the castle at a specific time. When I was on my way there, I saw a silhouette standing at the balcony. I walked and saw Selena gazing at the stars.

"You really are a rule breaker, aren't you?" I said and she jumped slightly then looked at me.

"I can't sleep and I love gazing at the stars." She said. "You? What are you doing here?" She asked.

"Same. I can't sleep. Gazing the stars will help me sleep." I said and she smiled. Her smile flutters my heart a bit.

"We're the same." She said and sighed. Instead of looking at the stars, I look at her. Her eyelashes were long that it almost touch her cheekbone, her nose was pointy and her lips was plump and looks inviting. All in all she's a beauty. I look at her one more time and she looked at me.

"Stop staring." She whispered and a wind blows that got her shivering.

"Oh gosh, why didn't I bring a jacket." She mumbled and I just stand there looking at her. "Harry, stop staring." She said and I smiled but like I said I stop smiling genuinely since mom died.

"I'm just looking at you. Staring and looking was a different word and has different meanings." I said and she shook her head.

"Come here." I said and she frowned. I sighed and pull her towards me. I hugged her from behind and immediately my heart flutters wildly. Why is my heart beating wildly? It's just Selena, the girl that happens to be my future wife.

"Why are you so warm?" She whispered. I look up and sighed. I place my head in her neck and she sighed contently. She had her hands holding mine. I don't know why but in this moment I feel contented and happy for a long time. Not even her make me feel this way.

I squinted when lights flashes through my eyes. I feel a body cuddled next to me and I panic. Did I bring a girl home again? I open my eyes and look down and saw Selena sleeping in my chest with calm pace of breathing. I look around and saw we were in the balcony in one of the couches.

I look at her again and tuck a hair behind her ear. She sighed and squirmed. I look at our position she was hugging me like a pillow and my hands were holding her waist. How did we fell asleep? This couch is the most uncomfortable thing to sleep on and very tiny but surprisingly I have a good sleep.

I saw her opening her eyes and sighed. She looks confused and look up. She immediately scooted away from me and rub her eyes. I felt cold without her in my arms. I don't know why. But I feel alone.
