Visiting the prince

Amara's POV.

The wait is finally over. The prince is back. I can't believe that the years have passed so fast already. I must admit that it was quite a long wait, but at long last, they were over.

“Have you heard the news, girlfriend?” My best friend Helen asks me. I could see excitement in her voice.

“Yes, I am about to head to the palace right now. I miss him so much, and I want to see him so badly.” I say.

“I know, girlfriend, that you miss him so much.” She says.

“I badly miss him. Let me freshen up so I can head out. I don't want to waste any more time.” I say as I rush to my room.

I straight head to the washroom and I unlock the tap and water come hit my lovely body. I know the prince will have a hard time taking his eyes on me.

My name is Amara Chelsea. The only daughter of my parents. My parents were so rich, and money was never a problem in my family. I studied in one of the best schools in the country. I was now a graduate in medicine. But since my parents were rich, I saw no need of working. I received my monthly allowance from my parents each month. They spoiled me too much that I forgot how to make my own money.

Now that I will get married to the prince, I will get richer, I will be the princess of my land. That is what I want now. Many people will be respecting me. I will be an envy of many girls. And when my husband becomes the king, I will be the queen. That is my dream for now. To be the queen of this land. I will do anything to make sure that happens.

“Helen, come please.” I shout when I come out of the shower.

“What is it. Why are you shouting.” Helen comes running inside my room. I could see shock in her eyes. She was always so worried about me. I can confidently say that she truly loves me. I also love her the same way she loves me.

“I want you to help me choose my outfit. I want to look so beautiful today. I want the prince to be lost in my beauty.” I say with a smile on my face.

“Ok, girlfriend. I will help you. Let us see what will fit you perfectly.” Helen says as she looks at each of my dresses.

“Amara, I think this one will do.” She then says.

“You think so?” I ask.

“I can never lie to you, my friend.” She says ask and she hands me the dress.

I quickly take it and I wear it. I stand before the mirror, my gaze fixed on my reflection. My eyes trace every detail—the way my dress drapes perfectly, the confidence in my posture, the quiet elegance in my expression.

“How do I look?” I ask her.

“Wow, this is the dress to wear today. Don't take it off, just put on some makeup and leave already. Time is not on your side anymore.” Helen says.

I could see she was saying the truth, so I follow her advice.

“Ok girlfriend.” I say as I rush back to my room.

I sit on my makeup chair that was facing the mirror and I start doing my makeup.I decide to put light one. I was beautiful, so there was no need for heavy makeup.

After I am done, I take my purse and I head out of my room. It was time to head to the palace.

“Take care, girlfriend.” Helen says as she escorts me out of the house.

“I will.” I say as I bid her goodbye.

I was so tired to drive today, so I decide to take a cab.

My house and the palace were not that far, that is why I knew Gilan so well. We went to the same primary school. He was always so handsome from the first day I set my eyes on him. I knew he was the one for me from day one.

I hope that my dream will finally come true and that we will get married. I want to settle down with him as soon as possible. I don't want to waste any more time. So I hope it happens soon.

In about ten minutes, I stand In front of the palace gate. Since the guards know me, they allow me inside. I was so famous in this palace and everyone knew me as Gilan's girlfriend. I was always so proud of that. I was so happy when everyone addressed me as her girlfriend.

“Is the prince in.” I ask one of the guards.

“Yes madam. He is inside. I guess he is tired from his trip. He is taking rest." The guard says, and I smile.

I slowly start walking inside. The housemaid opens the door for me and I walk inside the house. The palace was so big and beautiful, it will be such an honor when I start living here.

I straight head to where the king's throne room was, I am glad when I spot him. He was seated doing some work, I guess. He was always so busy taking care of his people.

“How are you, your highness.” I greet him. He then lifts his head, and he smiles when he sees me.

“My dear, you are here?" He says.

“Yes, I heard the prince is back home, so I came to check on him.” I say.

“Yes, he is resting in his room. You can go and check up on him.” He says.

“Thank you your highness.” I say with a broad smile on my face. The king always approved of me. This was a big advantage to me.

I excuse myself and I start heading to the prince room. I did not know where it was, so I ask one of the maid to help me locate it. Within few minutes, I was standing In front of his room.
