?THE
PRINCE
MAIDEN?
( My Crazy Girl )
Chapter 12 & 13(Semi Final)
—ALLISON—
“Gosh! I feel so special. Tyler treats me like a princess”
“He doesn’t allow me do anything at all, he’s now an expert in cooking”
“First the first few months though, whenever he t©uçhes me, I revulse at his t©uçh. The hurt that clouds his face after pierce throu-gh my very soul but there was nothing I could do about it. It had become an involuntary action for me.”
“With time, I st©pped revulsing at his t©uçh and learnt to see past the rou-gh hands that gr!pp£dme to feel the gentle hands begging to be forgiven.”
I gently trailed my f!ngerson my big stomach.
I am due to give birth next week.
“Tyler has shown he’ll be a good father” I said to my baby girl
She kicked in response.
The day Tyler went for a scan to check the gender of our baby, he was so happy it was a baby girl.
I’ve never seen a man being so happy he’s having a female child.
He even made me eat ice cream to celebr@te the baby.
We always have a d@t£ every Fridays.
We start the Fridays by going to an elite restaurant where it’ll just be both of us in the room for privacy.
Then we go to a pri-vate beach where we spend the night in looking at the moon and stars. Most times, I catch him staring at me instead.
At times we start the Friday with a long drive with no destination, just enjoying the b!owing wind and the feelings of being free from the world and we’d spend the night in a five star h0tel. We’d sleep in the same room but different be-ds.
I haven’t heard anything about his S-x escapades in a while.
Guess he st©pped or maybe because he’s busy with me, he hasn’t got the time.
Now he works from home, he dedicated spending a year with me at home. He only goes to the company once in a while. He left things in care of Jerry, his personal as-sistant, and he’s doing a very good job.
I think I made a good decision of giving him a second chance.
The nod I gave in response means a lot to him.
A nurse told me while I was in the hospital that he cries every time I’m asleep.
She said she’s has never seen a guy cry that way especially a reputable.
“Since I’m in a VIP ward, he would want to fake tears for something like this to happen” I replied
” Something like what? ” She had asked “me telling you he cries? I don’t think he fakes it because when he hears footsteps, he cleans his eyes instantly”
I huffed and turned away from her.
” Mr Tyler loves you and a lot a women are dying to be in your shoes”
“Are you one?” I asked
” No” she laughed “I’m happily married” she replied “just telling you though” she added and left me thinking
” Is what she said true?”
Then I saw the signs myself, his eyes was always red and puffy whenever I catch him staring at me throu-gh the upper p@rt of the door which had glas-s.
He was lean and his clothes didn’t seem to fit him anymore. He didn’t look his confident self.
So when he knelt down and asked for a second chance, I decided to give it to him.
Though it was a very ha-rd decision, I spent days thinking if what I did was right or if I should have just disagreed and gone with the divorce after childbirth.
But ever since, I haven’t regretted the decision.
I got to see a sweet charming side of him, the gentle and listening side, the caring and generous side.
He continued reaching out for me to helpless people and orphanage homes.
He acts like my prince charming.
I haven’t gotten time to meet my best friend, the dog, I do hear her whine.
Tyler told me she st©pped eating regularly because of me.
When he told her I was fine now, she started eating every day but not regularly.
At times when she sees her food, she turns her back to it and sits down.
She still barks angrily at Tyler though, she didn’t st©p the habit.
A month after the who-re ran out of our house, I heard in the news that she killed herself because of the insults she was received from people both home and abroad.
The media somehow got wind of some of the things that happened and said that she tried destroying my marriage and even gave herself cheaply to a married man.
I think the insults got so much and vile that she had to kill herself.
I kinda feel sorry for her.
Every week, Tyler and I got to the market to buy food stuffs.
That was the only thing he agreed me doing. He wouldn’t let me do anything.
Even to go to the bathroom, he makes me use a wheelchair.
I’m supposed to be exercising!!!
During one of our trips to the market, the media caught sight of us.
The following day, the headlines said “See Tyler and Allison shopping like any other normal couple in a market”
Tyler had laughed when he was the story especially at a picture where he had shown me a raw meat, asking me to eat since it was once my favourite.
I had hid my face in hair to keep him from seeing my smiling face.
Every night also before slee-ping, he k!sses me goodnight on my forehead and k!sses my stomach.
Then every morning, he k!sses my cheeks and bring breakfast for me.
I eat breakfast in be-d.
Every woman’s dream when she’s pregnant.
We argue over names for the baby.
I want to name her Emma while he wants to name her Mulan after a Disney movie.
Why would my baby be named after a disney movie!!?
But he wouldn’t hear any of it so I don’t bring up suggesting names for the child.
Let me give birth first.
I haven’t seen my baby’s face well except in the scan and I love her so much alre-ady.
I drop the book I was trying to re-ad and la-id down to sleep.
—TYLER—
These pasts months have been hectic and at the same time exciting.
As an expectant father, I’m so excited to see my baby.
I alre-ady decorated my baby’s room, the colour of the room is pink.
It has different toys, she has her dressing mirror, her closet is filled with clothes.
I go to the boutique almost everytime to buy clothes as I am in one now.
I have five shopping bags filled alre-ady.
Allison is always fighting over the name I chose for the baby.
I don’t know why she’s so against the name.
I mean what’s wrong with Mulan.
Mulan is a courageous girl and I want my baby to be like her too.
Why can’t she see Mulan is a suitable name.
I finished my shopping and got in my car to drive home.
I had relieved my driver from his work since the incident.
I want to do the driving myself and every other thing
I had taken cooking lesson so that I can give Allison and my girl the best.
She’s due to give birth next week more of a reason I don’t allow her to come down from lunch and dinner anymore.
She nee-ds to save all of her strength.
After the childbirth, I have a surprise for her.
I can’t imagine the expression that can would be on her face when she sees it.
I got home and c@m£ down from the car with the shopping bags.
I dropped them in Mulan’s room before going to Allison’s.
I found her slee-ping.
She stirred and woke up, maybe she felt my pres£nce.
I k!$$£d her cheeks”I’m home”
She narrowed her eyes at me, “who are you?”
I was taken aback by the question “what do you mean?”
She sat up, suddenly alert and covered her stomach protectively “who are you?”
Chaptet 13
—TYLER—
I furrowed my eyebrows and kept silent looking at her in shock.
“Who the fv¢k are you? I’m gonna scream for help if you don’t identify yourself” she slitted her eyes
“I’m Tyler for goodness Allison, I’m Tyler what happened to you?”
“Who’s are you to me? How do I know you?”
My heart started beating fast. I took hold of her shoulders and shook her.
“Allison, I don’t know what happened to you but you nee-d to remember me. Do you know you’re carrying a baby?”
“Yes I do know, I’m a woman and I can feel the baby inside me but the only thing I don’t un-derstand is how it got there. I clearly remember being a vir-gin.”
” What else do you remember?” I looked into her eyes intently, willing her to remember anything, anything that involves me.
What could I’ve happened while I was away
“I remember being in my home town and mum f0rç£d me to attend a ceremony because of some silly prince. I remember giving the worst description of myself to the prince and……” She g@sped “you’re that prince! What are you doing here?”
“Pls go, my husband will come very soon” she looked at me and tried shrugging my hands off
“How do you know you have a husband and he’s going to come home very soon?” I asked
“I couldn’t have possibly kept a baby in my stomach all by myself, I’m not a hermaphrodite. And since you are in my room, that can only mean my husband is not home or did you sneak in?? Are you by chance my husband’s friend?”
“Allison, I’m Tyler, Tyler!”
“I know who you are my prince”
I shook her shoulder ha-rder “you’ve got to remember something Allison, something that involves us pls” I pleaded
She suddenly bur-st out laughing, don’t make my baby come out with the way you are shaking me “my prince” she added and continued laughed.
“I got you, you should have seen the look on your face” she laughed even ha-rder.
I hvgged her in relief.
The laughter died in her mouth instantly, this is the first time I’m hvgging her in months and the first time I’m really hvgging her. “You scared me” I breathed into her ears.
“That’s the only thing?” She asked with a smile
“I was so scared” I re-leased her from the hvg and put her hands on my che-st “see my heart is still beating fast, that showed how scared I was”
Her smile wavered a little “you’re not irritated or angry?”
“Gosh how could I be? My crazy girl is back and that gives me a lot of hope” I pinched her nose and she did a shocking thing.
Something I wouldn’t have dared dreamed of not in this lifetime.
She k!$$£d me lightly on thel-ips and fell back on the be-d using a pillow to cover her face.
My crazy girl is still very naive.
I laughed and tickled her causing her to laugh too
“Why did you do that?” I asked
“What?” She feigned anger “I want my k!ssback”
“You see, even the baby wants to collect our k!ss”
“You really want it back?” My eyes glittered in amusement.
“Yes” she nodded.
I brou-ght my head closer to her in order to return her k!ss
When myl-ips were only half inch away from her, she put a f!nger on myl-ips and gently pushed my head back to the be-d.
“I don’t want to corrupt my baby” she said and put her head on my che-st.
We stayed that away in silence for a few heart beats “I’m scared for out baby, I’m scared for myself. I feel like I won’t have the strength to push her out”
I felt her b©dy shaking slightly.
“Don’t be scared, I’ll be there with you to give all the support you nee-d. I promise”
I k!$$£d her hair.
I heard snore gently and I closed my eyes to sleep also.
—ALLISON—
I had been trying to sleep but was uncomfortable because of my bulging stomach.
Then he c@m£ in from one of his various trips to the boutique.
And since I was bored and missed my crazy self, I decided to pl@ya prank on him.
The look on this face when I asked ‘who are you’ isn’t one I’ll forget for a very long time.
It’s going to be stucked in my memory and it’s something I look forward to teasing with.
“When he started shaking my shoulders ha-rd , it bec@m£ ha-rd for me to continue with my prank. Does he think shaking my shoulders would resto-re my memory if I had truly lost it. He looked helpless.”
Laughter took hold of me and I bur-st out laughing.
“He looked confused like a five year old who doesn’t know what to do”
He caught on it was a prank and instead of him scoffing or feigning annoyance, he hvgged me instead.
The laughter died in my mouth as I realized this is my first heartfelt hvg from him.
“I was so scared” he breathed into my ears
“Oh, my poor big baby” I said in my mind and smiled.
He placed my hands on his che-st to feel his beating heart. My smile wavered a little.
All I wanted to do that time is k!sshim and tell him everything is going to be alright.
And k!sshim I did, but I didn’t tell him everything is going to be alright instead I fell back on the be-d and covered my face with a pillow.
“Why did you do it?” He asked when my laughter after he tickled me.
What do I say in response to a question like this.
“What? Return my k!ssback then” I feigned annoyance and my baby kicked in agreement.
I have a feeling my baby is going to take a lot after me.
He brou-ght hisl-ips closer to k!ssme and I bec@m£ scared because I know once hisl-ips t©uçhes mine, it’ll be ha-rd for me to st©p.
I put a f!nger on hisl-ips and gently pushed his head on the be-d.
“I don’t want to corrupt my baby” I told him and placed my head on his che-st.
It’s one of the things I dreamed to do with my husband.
I expression my fears “I’m scared for out baby, I’m scared for myself. I feel like I won’t have the strength to push her out” I said to him
“Don’t be scared, I’ll be there with you to give all the support you nee-d. I promise” He replied. It’s just the perfect response I nee-ded to hear.
I closed my eyes to sleep. Halfway into dreamland, I remembered something and opened my eyes.
“This past months, have you been having S-x outside?” I asked
“No I haven’t, I promised not to hurt you and I won’t” he murmured slee-pingly
My heart leapt with joy and I sle-pt peacefully with a smile on my face.
His words kept echoing in my head
“No I haven’t, I promised not to hurt you and I won’t”
“He hasn’t and he promised not to hurt me”
I see my future bright with him
TBC….
Just one more episode to wra-p it up.
