my princess 3

"She is awake" Elliot said

"Finally, oh dear, are you okay?" Ally asked

"Yes, I think I am just too tired." I smiled "No big deal"

"Why is everyone still here? what's the time now?" I Asked again

"4am." Dave answered and passed me a glass of water "We are waiting for the polices"

"It has been 5 hours, and they are still not here yet." Danny complained

"I think is here." A man said "it ought to be here, look at this place, is empty." and they waked in

"The polices are here, like finally" Elliot mocked

"So, what's up?" the police officer asked

"I made a new year resolution that I am to meet a new friend everyday, so i called the police!" Elliot mocked angrily "It's obvious isn't!?" this place is being robbed! dumb ass!

"Oh okay, so it's empty?" The police said again

"Un huh!?" Stella made a sound "Are you idiot!? someone robbed this place!"

"Any clue who will it be?" the police officer asked

"Oh come on now! what the hell is wrong with you, if we know who might it be, we don't need you!" Dave cried "Not to mention that we have waited for more than 3 hours!"

"Okay, chill man." The police said "Hey, I know you people, you guys are.."

"Whatever is it, get your job done ASAP. We are tired!" Dave cried

"We will need to delay everything." Stella whispered "Alexis need to rest as well, we made her work too much these days."

"Is okay, Stella, i understand that the holidays are here and rushing projects and..."

"Whatever is it, we don't even have a studio." Said Elliot

Everyone was silent. No one knows what to do.

"We wont be free soon" Dave said "Each of us that others commercial to rush by xmas and the world tour is happening soon, we need to practice as well."

"Let me call a friend of mine, may be he might be able to help." I said "He is a professional photographer."

"But, most of the studios are fully booked" Ally said

"We have to try, I will call him." I said "Don't worry, he is a very nice guy, he was my teacher once."

"but it's 4am now." Stella said

"I am pretty sure he is still awake." I took my phone and made the call

"Dav! Thank god you are awake" I said

"What's up?" David asked over the phone

I told him what happened.

"I can borrow you some equipment and you can get it done in your empty studio?"

"No, because the police need to investigate the place for 3 days."

"How about you new apartment? Isn't it empty still?" He suggested "I am sorry Alex, all of the studios are fully booked but i think you can do something on your empty apartment and I can give you a hand if you need."

"Oh my god! You are awesome! Why didn't I thought of it. Thanks man!"

"Awesome huh?" Elliot said

"This is not the time to be jealous!" I said

"I am not..."

"Is enough both of you. please. what's the plan?" Danny said

"I guess I have to lend you guys my empty apartment." I said "But i dont know will it works well, hopefully it will."

"Are you serious?" Dave asked Elliot

"Pretty sure I am." Elliot said "Actually, I am very."

"Good." Dave said

my princess 2

"Sir, here's your hot towel for refreshment." The air stewardess said and passed him a smoking hot towel. She stare at me, who was still asleep on that person's, oh sorry, my husband's shoulder. "Erm, Mis..."

"Is okay, just passed it to me" he said then collected the hot towel from the air stewardess "Hey..hey.." He whispered to me to wake me up.

"Mmmm?" I looked up and "Ouch!" My head hit his chin.

"OUCH! Luckily i have a real chin if i were to plastic my chin like the rest did i would have a weird chin by now. god, it hurts!" he cried

"Sorry.." I quickly apologized and he passed me the hot towel

"We are almost reaching, stop sleeping." he said "it annoyed me"

"Whatever." I said angrily

and we did not talk until the flight landed, and we left the flight and pretended that we never know each other.

"Seems like you are going to stop complaining about not having a boyfriend from now." Ally said from my back

"Shut up. This is not that kinda thing should be happening plus why didn't you save me just now?" I asked

"Why should i?" she asked

"HE basically kidnapped me!"

"You mean your husband?" She teased and laughed

"no, i was talking about my father!" I answered angrily.

"You know we will have to work with them and for you will need to work with them for 2 weeks."

"I am not doing this, please Ally." I begged "I love you boss, you are so pretty, smart, not so tall but still taller than me, and you are like the best of the world..."

"I know, but sorry is not gonna work." she replied

________________________________________

"Bro, who was the girl sat beside you just now?" Dave asked (Dave from lost)

"My wife." He said and smiled

"Come on bro, give me a break. All of us are not allowed to be in a relationship not to mention about marrying."

"Fine. Someone interesting I met in the airport."

"Guessed so!"

"How about you, huh?" He asked "Your ring girl."

"I got rejected. didn't I told you that?""

"Asked her out! for dinner, lunch, tea, breakfast, movie and whatever!"

"We know who we are and what will happen if anyone finds out."

"Come on! Danny is married and no one knows about it." He said "The best part is he is going to be a daddy soon. is not like we cant do it, it really depends on do we want it."

"If i have to be in a secrete relationship with Stella, I rather not being in one." Dave said "There is no point, forbidden love might sound fun at first but when time goes on is a very different thing." Dave added "Especially you, the youngest and cutest and the most likeable one. Unless you are really in love then be a man and face it. People like us don't have the credit to fool around because it will hurt them more than any other guys when it has exposed to the public."

Dave walked away and left him alone in the studio

"Come on Alexis, you can do it! Face him and knock him down!" Said Ally "For your new apartment!"

"For my apartment!!" I said and walked into the studio and saw him alone sitting on a wooden box

"Where are the rest?" I asked

"Who are you?" He asked. Dave is right, he didn't want to hurt her in anyway, she is a nice and hard-working girl. I shouldn't be doing that.

"Huh?"Wait, is he keeping his promise? he looks like he is but why is he staring at him in this way? "Oh sorry, I am your photographer."

"Hi, I am Elliot."

"I will get the rest of them. We got no assistance today because of the airport.."

"Is okay, I will do my best today." I said to avoid he mention about the airport thingy.

"Right, I will get them." He said and walked out the studio

Shouldn't I be happy? This is what I want, unknowing him. Why do I somehow feeling sad? damn!

"Isn't she..?" Dave was about to ask

"No, I dont know her." He said

"Great." Dave said and understood him

"Excuse me miss..!" Danny waved his hand in front of her face

"Oh sorry." Yes, I will be your photographer today and I don't have any assistance today except for my boss Ally and Stella, I believe all of you have met her before. We will do our best on this, but due to the lack of assistances, we hope that you guys won't be needing too many thing..." As for creating trouble. Sigh, can I do it? Ally and Stella wont be helping much for sure and how on earth will i dare to order my boss to help me, right? Looking at them makes me feel headache, a bunch of troubles with good looking faces. damn!

"Alex, I will help you, dont think you are tall enough to adjust the lighting." Stella laughed and helped me

"Thanks." I said "More to the left please."

"No problem"

"Can you guys stand closer to each other?" I asked and started the shooting section. Thank god nothing goes wrong, if I am good enough, I will only need to face them a week and everything will be done.

After hours of shooting section.

"Stop!" Danny cried "please, i am hungry."

"Oh it is 9pm now." Ally said "Lets call it a day and continue it tomorrow?"

"Erm.. okay." Oh why!? I want to finish it ASAP!

"Lets go for dinner guys, my treat!" Said Stella

"Great please, I am starving." Danny said

while everyone was walking out the studio.

"Ally, Can i not go? I am rather tired today." I whisper

"Are you..."

"No, Ally please don't mention about it again."

"Okay okay. relax girl."

"Alex, someone is looking for you." Stella turned to me and said and i saw a rather annoying face but whatever is it, he is my last hope to get out of this situation

"Look, i got a date with my... friend."

"date!?" Ally was shocked because the last time Alex told her that this guy is the not her cup of tea and for god sake he wont be anyone's cup of tea anyway.

"A friend! just normal dinner.. erm no, supper.. whatever is it, not going.."

"Oh invite your friend along Alex, we are going to your favourite place."

"But....but.."

"Is okay Alex, I can join them." the annoying face said

"Erm.. fine.." damn, is not about you at all

_____________________________

This is getting weird. he is sitting right in front of me and the annoying guy is next to me. Very annoying. damn!

"Can i get your drinks first?" the waiter asked

"Iced Green Tea please." I ordered

"No, Hot for her." the annoying said

"Why!?" I asked.

"is late, shouldnt be drinking cold.."

"Okay." I ended his conversation before he continues. annoying.

"What do you want to eat." the annoying asked

"Saba.."

"But it will be full of bones." annoying said

"Oh for god sake!" Elliot cried "You are acting like her father instead of her boyfriend."

"What?" The annoying was shock

"Please don't tell me you didn't know that your beloved girl friend hates hot drinks and she is not good at hot drinks!" Elliot cried "God damn it! and you this is not fun. How on Earth could I un-know you!?"

"You..!" And the annoying looked at me but i pretend that nothing happened. He was too angry and he left.

"Alex...." Stella whispered

"Huh?" I answered

"Your friend..." Stella was shocked

"You mean her annoying friend?" Ally teased "This teach you a lesson, don't ever lie"

"Whatever is it." I answered as if nothing has happened and the waiter passed me a cup of hot green tea "Excuse me, can you change it to iced?" I smiled

"How could you...?" Elliot stared at me

"What?" I asked "I thought you don't know me? Since when you know that i am not good at hot stuff?"

"When you handed the hot towel, you showed a face that tells it all."

"Hey, you know each other?" Danny asked and laughed

"Come on, Elliot. The manager is not here today, just admit it." Another boy teased

"Whatever is it, is not about her. Is about the guy's face. annoyed me." He said

"Woohooo~ Mr. Cute and Nice Guy is angry" Danny mocked "Come on pal, have a drink. the sake is awesome."

He took over the cup of sake from Danny and drank it all in one breath.

"Oh dear, I haven't order my food yet." I said and smiled. "Excuse me, can i have a Saba fish set?" I don't know why but when I know he was envy, I felt very happy. "Is this your treat Stella? I am very hungry."

"Yes darling, just order whatever you want to eat." Stella said

______________________________

"Oh god I am so full that I can hardly move! my manager wont be happy about this." Danny cried

"Hey Alex, what are you looking for?" Ally asked

"My phone." I answered "I dont remember where did i left it."

"Maybe is in the studio." Dave said

"Oh no! it has to be!" I cried "I am going back"

"But it's 12am now" Stella said

"Is okay, I will drive there." I said and ran to my car

"I will go with you." Elliot pulled my hand

____________________________________

"Gosh.. I wonder where is my phone.." I looked around

"You didnt even turn on your light, do you think..." He turned on the light and he was stunned by what he saw

"Alex!" He cried right before I fall

"OMG! where is everything!?" I cried

"You nearly fall." He said

"Because it used to be a chair around here and everything is gone."

"Yea, is this a robbery?"

"Think so." I said "Thank god i bought my laptops and camera and lenses away just now."

"This is not the time for this."

"True, but i lost my new Iphone4." damn, i just got it last month!

"Alex, what is this?" He took the piece of paper that left on the floor

"Open it." She said

Dear Stella,

I took everything away from you. you will be a big losser now! You wont be able to complete your job on time this round!

Love,

xx

"Your phone." He passed my phone to me

"Oh where did you.."

"on the floor, it was on top of the paper."

"She is kind enough to leave me my new phone." I said and got a stare from Elliot

"Dave! Is she with you?" He asked

"Who?"

"Come on! Your girl friend, Stella! come over to the studio now." He said "Something interesting happened."

"How interesting is this? Seriously, tell me about it." I said "My bonus, apartment, car.. sigh.. If we cant complete this on time then the client will be very angry especially your boss! and everyone will be in trouble."

"i can imagine that." he sat on the floor

"I heard you guys are not allowed to be in a relationship? what a shame." I asked and sat next to him

"We are but not in public." He said

"You guys are annoying, in fact very but i was very surprise today."

"Because we are on ourself today. we are different without our manager."

"understandable." I said

"I am tired, I wanna go home." I said

"New apartment?"

"Nope, I am staying with my sister now but soon i will be moving out. I cant be a free loader forever. I have been staying with my sister long enough is time to be independent and my sister is not alone, she has a family, sometimes I feel rather weird to be there."

"True. How old are you?" He asked

"24." I answered "You?"

"26"

"Oh god!" Stella cried "What on earth.."

"Someone left you a msg" I said and rose

"Alex!" I heard Elliot cried but i was too tired, i can't stand it anymore. I think I fainted.

to be continue....

my princess

Looking at the mirror and i started to question myself. "what the hell am I doing here, alone?"

Oh wait, i nearly forget to introduce myself. I am Alexis, I am 24 and I am still... Single. Oh yes, I am single since I was 20.

I know what are you thinking right now, I must be a fat, ugly and annoying bitch that always complain about how pathetic my life is and keep on stuffing ice cream and chocolates to myself saying that I am trying to make my self happy which was actually just to satisfied myself from being a fat bitch. OK stop! no. I wasn't.

So what is wrong with me? Honestly I got no idea at all. Is like at all. Seriously. Well, I work from Monday to Friday as a Graphic Designer and I slack at home on weekends and sometimes hanging out with a few old friends. Oh do I Club? Only when I have to, most of the time i will be with my clients. Oh well, i know, boring life. this is why I am single eh?

Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of people approach me in these years but they are not my kind and lets say they are pretty much not acceptable. Okay, lets face it, I am not ugly and I am actually pretty, good looking. am i fat? Oh for god sake I am not fat at all! the only not-so-wonderful about me will be my height, I am only 156cm.

"Alex! The airport Strike! Come out now!" Ally said. (Oh Ally, is my boss remember her from the previous story of Momoko's?)

"What!?" I cried. Oh no! I am going to a concert tomorrow, I have bought the tickets! arghh!

"Alex, come out now! We need to reschedule everything now!" Cried Ally and she ran out of the toilet.

Okay, can I be more lucky than this? Airport strike?

"I swear this is the most unpleasant trip ever, boss." I said

"I know." Ally said

"If it wasn't for the bonus I needed so badly for my new apartment, I wouldn't be here."

We are here at Barcelona, Spain. Before you scream About Gaudi's building, let me tell you something, I did not visit any of those. Why? We simply don't have the time. We rushed our project in 2 days time and need to rush back to our HQ for a new celebrity Iphone game project which everyone of us including the game design company are super not looking forward to it. Celebrities are those people that we will try our very best to avoid, they are problematic to the max. Bad attitudes, bad, bad. nightmare. The worst part, We have to take care of them as if they are our babies. Now, I am trap in this stupid airport. super arghhh-ness.

"Beware darling, there will be another bunch of nightmare from Stella." Said Ally

"Stella? The game designer?"

"Yup"

"Oh, her boyband Iphone game design." sucks.

"I hear they would like to have some multimedia campaign as well."

"Shouldn't they be looking for some multimedia company instead of us?"

"Stella's brother who is a multimedia designer is very busy right now and as you know we need to rush this job before their world tour concert, so he told Stella that he can't make it."

"Boss, I hate codes, CSS, HTML or whatever, they freaks me out."

"Silly, you just have to caetoonize them."

"The Boy band!?" I cried and open up my eye widely "The whole bunch of them!?"

"Yes, why? aren't you very good at it. Come on! You build a side business of it. didn't you?"

"Does it mean that I will be the one who will be photographing them as well?" Okay, so not exciting

"Yes. What is wrong with you? You always go for concerts and etc. I thought you would love to work with super stars?"

"You know, I know they are totally different behind the scene." I complained "Especially the ones that we will be working with. "

"Stop it already. Is not like we have a choice. You need to pay for your new apartment and I need to pay for my house and car." Ally said "Come on, we can do it!"

"Can I request for an assistance during the photography section? I don't want to be the one who buying them food and drinks!"

"I got an idea, borrow a maid from your mother and used it. I will pay her hourly." Ally winked

"A word boss."

"What?"

"Fu*k you!" and both of us laughed

"Come on, is our turn. after queuing for so damn long."

"Tell me about it, it has been 6 hours." I rose and walked to the counter and someone cut the line

"Hi, I would like to...."

"Excuse me, what the hell is wrong with you!? I have waiting for 6 hours and what the hell are you doing?"

He did not speak but took off his sunglasses and smiled at me and continue his conversation with the air stewardess.

"Are you crazy!? Come on, wearing shades indoor is not cool, is stupid and for god sake even if you are a celebrity I don't give a damn. get the hell off!" is he a celeb? oh whatever.

The air stewardess look rather confused and she didn't know what to do, so she said "excuse me miss this sir is a VIP and we.."

"Do I look like I care!?"

"Sweetheart calm down." He said and smiled

"I am sorry, she is my wife.." He lied "We are together."

"Excuse..." Ouch, he pitch my shoulder!

"Yes, 2 tickets please. Business class."

"No problem sir."

Buuuuusiness class? Oh come on I don't have the money for that! I need to pay for my apartment and I am changing my car soon. Oh nooooooooooooo. He look rather familiar but who is he? Oh no, shit dont tell me he is one of the guy from The Woods! The one we are suppose to work with. Oh no, can I be more bad luck than this?

"Lets go." He said and basically dragged me away.

"Ally..." I cried and staring at her for help but why on earth is she smiling?

______________________________

"I am not going to pay for this. I am going to pay you the price for the economic class and not the business class. I am not as rich as you thought, I am so poor that I am force to work here for just 50% of bonus at the end of the year." I said after we have settle down in the air plane

"You have to pay full price, I am not rich either. even if I am why do I need to pay for you? and i forced to be here for my job as well, we are pretty much the same." He said while reading a newspaper "I am not as glory as everyone thought."

"What the.." fuck "Okay so now what? you are the person who suddenly drag me and lied your ass of and not lining up and..."

"Cut it." He said "You are going to pay me or you know what will happen."

"What!?" What will he do?

"I am going to kiss you in public and the paparazzi will be following you for the rest of your life."

"ARGHHH!" I teared "Why must this always happen on me? I have been working so hard and i finally got a new apartment and thought of changing to a better car and now why this? I am suppose to work hard and earn more but now i just used up more than a month salary of mine. bastard. what kind of beast i met!"

"Hey, stop crying.." He said "I don't mean it."

"You can just pay the econ price, don't cry please." Why did she cry? oh god, it was a joke.

"sobsob." I looked at him with my huge eyes full of tears "Why me? Why must all the bad things always happen on me? I want a better life and i always work harder than everyone else. how many graphic designer dont mind being a part time photographer for the company as well? I spend more than 20 hours per-week just to support my side business and I hardly have time for myself. and now i bump into you who are trying to rob me."

"Oh please, is okay really. I am sorry..." Oh god what did he do?

"Excuse me, a lady told us that you are on Honeymoon with your wife and this is from the crews." An air stewardess placed a piece of chocolate brownie to us. "Happy honeymoon."

"Thank you." He said "Oh come, lets have some cake, dont cry please."

"I am not taking chocolate."I said "I.. am on diet"

He hold my hand and said "bones and bones. If i were blind i will thought that I am holding a skeleton. eat some and smile." He showed a cute face that made me laughed.

"What an idiot." I whispered

"As long as you are not crying." He said

"If you ever see me anywhere next week, please don't tell anyone you know me." I said "Is not like you gonna recognize me but still please. we are stranger."

"Oh no, i will remember your face for sure."

"Please forget me." Oh no, please leave me alone!

"I thought i am good looking. why not? are you attached? or you...?"

"no. I don't want to hook up with any client of mine." and a beast like you.

"Huh?"

"You will know when we meet again."

"But you are my wife." He smiled "Everyone in the air plane think that."

"No."

"Lets make a deal. I will pay for your apartment and your new car?"

"Do I look like a hooker!?"

"No."

"So?"

"I was just joking"

"Is not funny"

"but you look like a little princess to me." he said "I like you." He whisper to me

to be continue~ yes, fairytale is back. =D
