Royalty Gone Bad

Asahd’s POV:

I got to work and went to the locker room to change and drop my things. The others were there. I greeted and they all replied.

“How was your Sunday, buddy?” Derrick asked as we shared a handshake.

“Interesting,” I replied, noticing Allison in a corner, blushing and smiling a little.

“Mmhmm. Any girl involved?” he mused.

“Not that I know of,” I chuckled.

“Alright, man.”

I just liked having Derrick or Alex around me. I’d actually become friends with them. They were the less annoying and competitive guys amongst the others. For example, Jason was always teasing me and tried to make me uncomfortable most of the time, calling me pretty boy and saying in a ‘joking’ manner that he didn’t see why the girls we worked with found me cute. That I wasn’t that pretty and blah blah. His ass was just jealous. I ignored him most of the time. Stephan was annoying because he teased me too and kept trying to make me hook him up with Saïda. Just like Jason, he was very competitive too. For no reason at all. He would always become dry towards me when one of the girls complimented me and always tried to compare everything with me. I avoided them so I would not get really angry and do the unthinkable.

Matt on the other hand was quite simple. He was nice yet didn’t really mingle with the others. A bit like a boy version of Elsa. He would do what he had to, tell us goodbye and leave. Always minding his business.

The others changed and left till I was left alone. I had just put my T-shirt when Allison entered.

“Good morning,” she smiled and I smiled back, pulling her in for a hug.

“Good morning. How was your night?” I kissed her forehead.

“Great. Thought about you the entire time,” she giggled.

“Really? That’s nice.”

“And how was yours? You look a little tired,” she said.

′That’s cuz I spent the whole night gossiping with Saïda.′

The thought made me smile because she’d told me a lot of amusing and embarrassing things about the annoying chief butlers in the palace, back in Zagreh. Things I didn’t even know about.

“You’re smiling?” Allison mused, snapping me out of it.

“I slept late cuz I was thinking about you and how I hope to return your feelings with time.”

She smiled.

“I’m sure you will.”

We shared a short kiss.

“No one should know about us, just yet. Especially the girls,” she mused and stepped back. “Brittany kinda likes you, though she’s acting all bitter because of that party night. She told us about it. Jenna likes you too. I’m sure of that one. They’re mean at times and I don’t want them throwing odd words at me.”

“Okay, they won’t know," I reassured her.

“Thank you. Let’s go.”

Saïda’s POV:

Finally it was twelve, my break time. I excused myself and left the shop to go sit at a nearby café.

I ordered donuts and sat to eat them, while manipulating my phone. I texted Asahd,
