Iman

"I seriously need to get a car" I muttered kicking off my flats as I entered my apartment.

Taking the bus and the amount of walking that's added to it, is just ridiculous and I'm getting tired..

I worked extra today and it was about 8pm when I was let off from work and I needed to hurry home because there's a lot of weird people that lurk outside after the evening.

I finished taking a shower and brushed my teeth. I wasn't even going to bother eating dinner.

I was just too exhausted to do anything. And I have work early in the morning? Just no..

I probably should have stayed in America to finish college. I could have just lived on campus and not stress over bills and such.

But its too late to be second thinking. And wow I need to slee-

I then heard my phone ringing.

I groaned. Maybe if I just ignore it they'll stop calling.

The ringing continued. "Whyyyyyy?" I asked snatching it off the nightstand.

Whoever this is better have a good reason for calling.

I answered. "Hello?"

"Oh, Hello iman." It was Justin..

"And sorry, I didn't know you were sleeping, I'll jus-" he said again but I cut him off.

"No, no its fine really!" I said but mentally cursed at how desperate I sounded. "Are you sure? I mean-" He asked. His voice was so smooth...

"Yes! I mean, yeah." Oh my Gosh I'm such a screw up.

I heard him give out a hearty chuckle.

"Um Justin I hope you don't mind me asking, but why are you calling so late?" I asked clearing my throat.

It was silent for a few seconds. "I...I just wanted to check on you. I hope you're doing fine." He said. I could hear the sincerity in his voice.

Aww he's so sweet. I decided to tease him.

"Looks like someone misses me.." I said chuckling.

"I think someone does."

My eyes widened for a brief second. Did he just..?

"How sweet." I said not knowing what really to say next.

"Really, I do. I miss seeing you."

My heart was beating at a fast pace. Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my Gosh! I know the prince did not just say what I just heard.

I don't think I can take his flattery anymore. My heart was fluttering...

Should I tell him I miss him to? I mean I can't just leave him hanging..

"I-i miss you to Justin. " I said as I was responded with silence.

"Oh you do?" He asked. I could hear the satisfaction and smug in His tone.

"Don't get too cocky, your highness." I said laughing.

"I'm just teasing, Iman. But really, I do wish to see you again." He said nervously.

I think I'm about to lose air....

Yup, the Prince officially likes me. I guarantee it.

"It would be nice to meet again. Anyway, thank you for taking me out. I really enjoyed going out with you." I said honestly.

Justin is such a sweet guy. I love that about him..

"In that case M'lady, I want to take you somewhere again. Some where that I know you'll love." He said.

Okay my heart can't take all of tJihis..

"Justin all these places you keep taking me, aren't you worried about who's going to see you? You're like, kind of famous I'm sure you know. You walk around very loosely with no protection." I said.

But mostly I said that because he's a prince for crying out loud, making appearances with me. A commoner. I don't want to embarrassed him.

"Don't worry too much about that, sweetheart." Was all he said.

"Alright, if you say so." I said shrugging my shoulders.

"So what Do you say, Iman?" He asked.

"Well if it means that much to you. When are you planning on taking me out?" I asked him. I needed to see if I was free or not.

"In approximately two weeks."

"Where are we going?" I asked curious.

"Its a surprise." He said mysteriously

I playfully rolled my eyes. "Remember the last time it was a surprise?"

Justin chuckled. "But I promise you'll enjoy this one."

"Alright Justin. I have to like, sleep now." I said feeling my eyes get droopy.

"Okay, love. We'll talk tomorrow then?" He asked. I heard a little hope in his voice.

I smiled as if he could see me. "Yeah we'll talk. Goodnight, Prince."

"My name's not Prince you know," he said laughing.

I rolled my eyes. "Goodnight, Justin." Click.
