Chapter 8: The Queen and The Knight
1420 Words
Sacha seems like she’s really struggling in telling me the truth.
Which made me think, that..maybe there’s a big reason behind it, and that made me so curious.
I still don't want to talk to her. I am not even giving her a glance and it is so hard since we are living in the same house, plus it is the weekend!
Maybe I should go out?! But where will I go?! Amber and Megan are both busy, and that’s the disadvantage of having few friends.
So who am I going to bother?
Supposedly, Sacha and I are planning to go on a road trip today but since we are not on talking terms, we had to cancel it.
A knock on the door pulled me out of my thoughts.
“Yes?” I asked lazily without bothering to stand up to open the door.
“Ms. Saoirse, lunch is ready.” Mimi, our house staff said.
“Is Sacha already there?”
“Yes, Miss..”
I paused.
“Bring my food here, I will eat at my balcony,” I said and Mimi fell in silence.
Since the door is closed, I cannot see her reaction, but I bet she must be surprised and confused.
“Okay Miss..” she hesitantly said. “Should I tell Ms. Sacha, that you preferred to eat at your balcony?”
I sighed.
“Tell her that I prefer to eat alone,” I informed her in a dismissing tone.
“O-okay Miss.” She said and I finally heard her go away.
I decided to get up and take a shower while waiting for my food. After my quick shower, I ate peacefully at the balcony.
I am so bored and have no one to bother so I just grabbed my phone and took a selfie, then posted it on i********: with a caption of:
BORED
Just minutes after my selfie, I have already received thousands of hearts and comments from my hundred thousand followers.
I am busy reading their comments when I received a notification.
_callahanlennox started following you.
My eyes widen.
His name is familiar. So I clicked his photo to check who he is.
I don’t usually check who follows me, but then since his name is familiar, I decided to check him out.
“Ohhh..” I almost drool, when I saw the photos.
I knew it! He is the transferee!
I scrolled down to see more of his photos while trying to be careful not to heart his photo.
Is this guy a model? His photos look as if it was taken professionally and his photos are mostly showing off his abs!
No wonder he has a lot of followers! And I am sure that most of them are girls!
Wow! He has one point two million followers! That’s a lot! Considering I only have seven hundred thousand plus followers!
“No wonder, why you are too full of yourself,” I said while looking at his photos.
I was about to exit i********: when I received a message notification.
One request.
I opened it.
_callahanlennox: if you hang out with me..your highness will not be bored.
Accept or Delete
My lips parted.
And slowly, a smile crept across my face.
Accept.
Queen_Saoirse: tell me, commoner, what do you have in mind?
I hit send and excitedly waited for his reply.
Maybe I am really bored.. because I accepted his message and even responded to him.
That’s how bored I am.
_callahanlennox: I’m surprised you answered!
typing…
_callahanlennox: My Queen, I am not a commoner, I am your knight!
I rolled my eyes with a smile on my face.
This guy can really make me smile.
He is really a playboy.
He knows the moves so well and plays them to his advantage.
Queen_Saoirse: I don’t care if you are a knight! In my eyes, you are still a commoner. You have to prove yourself first before you got promoted into a knight position!
I laughed at myself.
typing...
_callahanlennox: then how can I prove that I am willing to be your knight in a shinning sports car?
I giggled. He knows how to make a good conversation.
So happy that he can’t see me right now or else, surely he is going to tease me.
Queen_Saoirse: That’s for you to figure out.
I replied with a smirking emoji.
I did not wait for his reply. I exited i********: and decided to hit the gym instead.
I don't want to entertain his chats anymore..feels like we are flirting..
And feels like I am cheating from Roux!
Since I am so bored and got nothing to do, maybe I will just use my time on something useful than stay here in the house with Sacha! So yes, I will just go to the gym.
How I wish our parents are here.
I sighed.
I missed them so bad.
“Seems like this is my lucky day!”
I turned to look at my back when I heard a familiar voice.
My eyes widen to see Callahan wearing jogger pants and a white gym shirt.
His eyes are shining brightly while smirking at me.
“Are you stalking me?” I accused him as my eyes narrowed at him.
What are the chances that we are going to the same gym?
It is his turn to look surprised then when he recovered he gave me a boyish smile and raised his eyebrow at me.
“My queen, I will never do that. I don’t do stalking..it is not my style.” He said before he winked at me. Then he hopped on the treadmill next to me. He started to walk and all I can do is to glare at him then went back to focus on my own workout.
I am panting and sweating for running for almost two hours. I actually did not notice the time. So I decided to cool off before I took a peek at Callahan.
He is now running at a fast speed. His sweat is falling from his body.. and it doesn’t look disgusting on him, rather it looks so d*mn hot and sexy, to be honest.
I shook my head and looked away before he can notice my stares.
After I cooled off.. I decided to take a shower and I changed into my little yellow dress and white sneakers, as I let my long chocolate brown hair down.
I decided not to put on make-up but just sunscreen and tinted balm.
I know I still look good even without make-up so I am confident to go out without any when I a feeling lazy.
When I went out of the girl’s shower room, I almost jumped when I saw Callahan outside, he looks as if he is waiting for someone.
When he saw me his eyes traveled from my head to toe as if checking me out.
“You done?” he asked and I have to check if he is talking to me or to someone behind me.
He chuckled.
“I am talking to you Princess..” he teased and I just rolled my eyes at him.
Your highness, my queen and now princess..what will be my next title?
I walked past him and I felt him following me so I had to stop and faced him.
“Are you following me?”
He shrugged.
“What if I am?” he smirked at me.
I gave him a blank look as I pursed my lips.
What does he want?
“My time is precious, stop wasting it.”
He chuckled.
“Your time is precious? I thought you are bored and got nothing to do?” he asked as he puts his hands in his pockets.
My lips parted.
So much for being straightforward.
“I just want to take your boredom away.”
Sounds tempting.
“By irritating me?” I raised my eyebrow at him then shook my head and continued walking.
I should not trust him. He seems like he is not going to do something good.
What should I do next? I still don’t want to go home yet. Might as well waste my team outside the house than to spend time with Sacha.
“By..dragging you with me to do something fun.”
I stopped and turned to look at him.
His eyes are telling me that when he said fun, it is really fun!
Should I give it a shot?
