As the guys chatted along. I listened and laughed. I would make a comment here and there when needed to. But that rude prince sure liked to talk about himself. He kept interrupting Marcus every time he stuttered. After our midnight dinner. I stood up and excused myself. I wanted to go to my room and go straight to bed. But I kept getting stopped by all the other Princes. Like if the universe was telling me not yet.
I danced with 5 more Princes and didn't get their names or numbers. All I know is that I was too tired to remember them, but I would recognize their faces. Tomorrow, I'm going to sleep in and relax.
By 3 o'clock I noticed that some of them were yawning. I walked up to a guard and told him to let them know that they can go to sleep and that I wouldn't mind if they slept in. He also looked tired and nodded.
He grabbed a cup and spoon and made a tinkering sound with it to get their attention.
"The princess has requested that you may all go to your rooms. And that it would be fine if you all slept in."
I gave them a nod and the guard opened the door to a hallway. All the princes sped walked right out of there. I smiled and knew that they were also tired. I thanked each one and was looking for those grey eyes and noticed that they weren't here.
As the last one left, I thought I had missed him or imagined it. I thanked the guard and told him to take the day off tomorrow and have someone else to stand by. I walked up the stairs and to my room. I undressed, and put my silky nightdress and just flopped on the bed. I turned my lamp light off and fell asleep.
I kept seeing grey eyes in my dreams. His grey eyes and the full moon shining behind him. I woke up with the sun lighting up my room and hitting my face. I guess I must've forgotten to close the curtains last night. And the window? I got up and closed the balcony doors and moved the curtains so it would shine somewhere else and not on my face. The time said 6:50 in the morning. And I wasn't going to get up anytime soon. So I fell back asleep dreaming of those gorgeous, grey eyes again.
