(Picture of Henry)

Hello my lovely readers. I want to thank you all for all your reads and votes and comments. It means a lot to me. I hope you will like this chapter too. Please enjoy.

Chapter 27

Prince Henry and Cheryl Hammington are finally getting married.

There was a picture of him and his ex. They were walking out of the door of the palace very closely to each other while Cheryl was resting her arm on his back. The picture was from yesterday. The article was very short though. It only said few details from their dating time before. But it was confirmed by one of the member of royal family that Henry and Cheryl are together again and they are getting married. It is confirmed. This could not be happening. This has to be some kind of joke. He hates her. But then I remembered his calls. He was acting weird and he was talking very shortly. My heart was beating like crazy and I thought it will jump out of my chest. What if his father somehow made him to accept to marry her? What if he agreed on it? I felt my heart silently breaking in pieces.

„I am going to make a hot chocalate. Do you want too?" Abuela asked me. I totally forget I wasn't alone in the room.

„No. Thank you. I think I am going to lie down. I am little bit tired." I find my words. I stood up and went to my room.

I looked at my phone if Henry was trying to reach me. But I didn't had any missed calls. I was pacing through my room and couldn't stop thinking. I can't be sure until I hear it from Henry. I will not make the same mistake as he did and I will listen to him. I need to hear it from him. Oh God. What if it is a true? I took a deep breath and dialed his number. While it was ringing I felt my hands shaking.

He wasn't picking up so I texted him. It was a short text but it was all I needed to know. „Is it true?" I wrote and pressed send. I was waiting for minutes and those minutes turned to hours. No respose. It was a first night he didn't call me or at least texted me. And I was more and more convinced that the article was true. There was even photo of the two of them from yesterday together. That must mean something.

It was six in the morning when I walked down to the kitchen. I haven't slept the whole night. How could I when my boyfriend is apperently getting married and he ignores my calls and texts.

„Evangeline. You are up early." Abuela said from behind the kitchen table.

„Morning." I greeted her.

„Are you alright? You don't look like you slept well. You got to your room pretty quickly yesterday. I didn't even get to finish my sentence and you were gone." She said. I probably had dark circles under my eyes because I didn't close an eye during the whole night.

„I am fine." I replied shortly but she narrowed her eyes suspiciously.

„What do you want for breakfast?" she asked me.

„I am not hungry abuela." I replied dryly.

„Nonsense. Here you have omelette." She put a plate in front of me.

I ate it because I knew she wasn't going to leave me alone. Gael got up early too. He was about to go to work so I asked him if he could take me with him. I want to buy some things in the store before I leave tomorrow. I promised George I would buy him some Spanish sweets and I need to stop thinking about Henry or I will get crazy. Gael left me at the cemetery on his way to work. I had to say good bye to my parents. I spend there probably two hours. I told them everything and I cried myself out. I totally lost track of the time. I miss them so much. After that I went to the store and quickly grabbed some sweets which I though George would like. When I was finally walking near the park on the street abuelas house was I felt a strong hand grabbing me from behind, turning me and yanking my body to him and hardly pressing his lips on mine. I tried to get out of that kiss when there I shockingly realized I knew this lips very well and the cologne I just felt was my favorite smell in the world. I let myself loose and I deepend the kiss and wrapped my hands around his neck and enjoyed it. After a while he broke it down and I was looking into his beautiful piercing blue eyes.

„What are you doing here?" I asked Henry breathlessly. He was wearing a football cap like on our first dates.

„I am here to tell you in person." He started and I felt my heart stop. „That all are just a nasty rumors." He finished and I released my breath.

„You are not getting married?" I asked him cautiously and he shook his head.

„No. I am not getting married." He replied smiling at me.

„But there was a picture of you and her. It was new. And you were not picking up your phone and you were acting really weird when we were talking..." I was rambling but he stopped me by his sweet kiss.

„I am not getting married. I am sorry for not picking up. I was really busy making sure all newspapers new it was a hoax. I was acting weird on the phone because I had to spend the days in her company. She was present at every visit because she is prime ministers daughter and she was really annoying. I couldn't get rid of her. I so wished you were there with me." He replied and he gently stranded my hair behind my ear.

„So it's not true." I repeated calmer.

„It's not. I made a statement informing all media I am not getting married to Cheryl and that I am in serious relationship with someone very special and bagged them for privacy." He said. I breathed a heavy breath of relief and I kissed him fiercefully.

„I missed you." I said breaking our kiss resting my forehead on his.

„Gosh I missed you too. So much." He whispered and packed another kiss on my lips.

„Wait a minute. How did you find me?" I asked him and he was taken aback. His look gave him up.

„I hope you don't get mad." He started. „I ordered one of my bodyguards to guard you." He finished guiltily. „Please don't be mad. After all what happened I couldn't let you leave alone when I couldn't go with you." He replied. I looked around and then I saw one man sitting on bench in park trying to look like he is reading a newspapers and then another man on the other side of street lacing his shoes looking like runner but he was obviously paying attention to us. How come I didn't noticed someone was following me? I have terrible senses.

„I am not mad." I replied and he smiled at me. „But you better tell me next time. I feel terrible I didn't noticed." I said. I can't blame him. I know he just wants me to be protected. He nodded and I packed a sweet kiss on his lips.

„Shouldn't you be right now in the palace greeting some King?" I asked him.

„I should. But I think one day they will have to be sutisfied with my sisters presence. She owned me one." He said smiling.

„Do you want to meet my family?" I asked him finally.

„That is the second reason why I am here." He replied smiling at me. I couldn't believe he was actually here. We went to abuelas house hand in hand and I was very excited but also nervous to introduce them. When we walked into the house Henry took off his hat .

„I think she is in the garden." I said and went through the back door to look for her. She was just cutting her roses.

„Abuela." I called.

„Oh nieta. You are finally here. What took you so long? Did you get lost?" she laughed when she came to me.

„No abuela I didn't get lost." I replied and was thinking how to tell her. „Abuela do you remember I told you I had a boyfriend right?" I asked her.

„Yes of course I remember I am not senile yet." She replied.

„Sorry.I didn't mean that. Well he just surprised me here and he would like to meet you." I replied and she got a huge smile on her face.

„That is wonderful. Where is he?" she asked me excitedly looking behind me.

„He is in the living room." I smiled at her.

„Well why are we waiting here come introduce me to him." She said grabbing my hand and we walked into the house.

„Abuela this is Henry. Henry this is my grandmother." I said when we walked into the living room and Henry was waiting for us. He came to abuela and shook her hand.

„It is so pleasure to finally meet you." He said but abuela was looking at him with wide eyes and then she looked at me confusingly. She blinked few times and then looked at him again.

„Nice to meet you too." She finally replied.

„Eva was talking a lot about you and I am so pleased to finally meet you." He said.

„Oh really?" she asked still in shock. „Well she talked about you too but she forgot to tell the little detail that you are..." she looked at me again and frowned „You are who I think you are, right?" she asked him and we laughed.

„If you mean Prince." Henry said smiling and abuela squeled at that. „Than yes I am." He finished.

„I am so sorry. I am just taken by surprise. Evangeline why didn't you warned me? So I wouldn't look like a fool in front of your boyfriend?" she said and I saw Henry frown a little in confusion.

„Sorry abuela. But I think you wouldn't believed me." I answered smiling feeling little bit guilty.

„But we were just talking about you yesterday. You are getting married to your girlfriend." She said looking at Henry.

„Abuela..." I started but Henry raised his hand.

„No Madam. I am not getting married. And that woman is not my girlfriend for years. Those are just really nasty rumors." He replied.

When abuela got out of the shock of Henrys presence they got with each other well pretty quickly. Who wouldn't get along with him? He knows how to talk with people. He was born to do it. He was asking questions about my childhood and of course abuela showed him some of my photos which was really embarassing.

„Evangeline was a really good child." Abuela said when she was showing him a photo of me from 5th grade.

„Evangeline?" Henry asked and looked at me confused.

„That is my full name." I replied. „My brother didn't know how to pronounce it when I was born so my parents shortened it to Eva. Funny thing is I did the same with his name." I laughed.

„Yes and it stuck with me for the rest of my life too." I heard Gael walking into the living room. We looked up at him and he was looking at Henry surprised. We stood up and came to him.

„You must be Gael. Nice to finally meet you. I am Henry." He showed his hand to greet him and Gael took it. They shaked hands but Gael was looking at him suspiciously.

„Nice to meet you too." He replied and looked at me. „So public relations haa?" he laughed and I smiled while Henry was looking at us confused.

„Sorry. I didn't know how to explain." I replied to my brother. I was nervously waiting for Gaels reaction to Henry. I know he is now overprotective of me because of Pablo.

„So. How are the public relations going?" he looked at Henry laughing. After we explained to Henry what he meant I was happy they got with each other well too. I was thanking to God for Henrys talent to talk to people. Him and my brother got along pretty quickly just like with abuela. And I was glad Gael was acting around him as he was a normal guy and didn't get him any hard time. I was so happy that the things turned out so great. But I saw on abuela there was something bothering her but when I asked her about it she said I am just imagining things.

„Do you guys have everything?" Gael asked us when it was time for us to leave which was the other day.

„Yes we have everything." I answered and came to him and hugged him. He gave me a huge hug and then shake hands with Henry.

„Take care of her, ok?" Gael said to him.

„I will." Henry answered took our suitcases and went to the car waiting for us in front of the house. A private jet was waiting for us in Madrid. I looked at abuela who was about to cry. I came up to her and hugged her.

„I will be visiting more often abuela. I promise." I told her trying to comfort her.

„I hope so." She replied. „Nieta please be careful." She said.

„Don't worry abuela. There is no one there who wants to hurt me anymore." I smiled at her.

„I know he isn't there anymore. But be careful with this young man." She said and I frowned.

„I thought you liked him." I replied confused.

„He is a nice man. But the world he comes from is different then our world Evangeline. It can be cruel. And I don't want the past repeat itself and for you to be hurt like your parents." She said.
