Abby's POV...

"Aaaaaahhhh!" I let out a piercing scream as I saw an insect in my dress. "Aaaaaahhhh! OMG!"

Nobody is currently with me now 'cause I asked them to go and bring me my favorite chocolate chip cookies. I just closed my eyes and continued screaming as tears started filling them. I hate this little crawling and flying insects and I'm feeling helpless now without Carmela and my other maids.

"Hey, what's the matter?" a voice from behind me asked.

"There...there's an insect...in...in my...dress!!" I stammered. I kept my eyes closed. "Gosh! Remove it! Remove it! Take it off me please!!!"

"Hold on. Stay still." The voice said and I held my breath. After a minute, "No more, it's already gone."

"No more?"

"Yes, no more."

"Promise?" I asked as I peep through my eyes. He chuckled.

"I promise."

"O-okay." I said as I wiped the tears that has rolled down my cheeks and opened my eyes. I rechecked my dress and saw that the insect is no longer there. I sighed in relief. "Thank you."

"Y-you're welcome, princess. " he said with a shy smile. "But you see, it's just a bug. It doesn't even bite."

"I don't care if it was a bug or something else. It's still Eeewy! Like really gross and it looks scary! Gosh! I hate insects! I hate-" I exclaimed but then I suddenly stopped when I looked up.

There goes the guy who saved me from the insect. And he is the most handsome guy I've ever seen in my entire life. He has dark brown hair, gray eyes and a cleft chin. Really handsome.

Could he be the one I was dreaming for?

My prince charming?

"Hmm. You're new here, aren't you?" I asked with my furrowed brows.

"Ehmm. Err- Yes." he answered and smiled a bit nervously.

Gosh, he is cute! Definitely my type!

"I see." I said and fixed my dress and hair. I tucked some of my long straight hair on my ear a bit shyly, trying not to make myself so obvious.

Do I look like a mess right now? Ugh!

"W-what are you doing here alone?"

"I was not alone. Actually, I just asked them to go get cookies for me."

"Cookies?"

"Yep!"

"Oh. So it's true."

"What's true?"

"T-that a..uhm..a beautiful princess lives here." he said and smiled again.

Did he just call me "princess"?

Oh, yes he did!

I blushed but shrugged it off.

Gosh, he's really cute!

"Princess?" I dared to ask.

"Yeah. They told me a princess lives here. And I believe that's you." He answered.

"Being too nosy now, aren't you?" I asked back with a brow raised.

"Oops. My bad. I didn't mean to be appear nosy." He said nervously and I chuckled. "I...I'll take my leave n-now."
