I Love You, Miss Genius

Prince Andreas spoke so softly that Bonnie didn't quite catch what he just said. Turning her ear to him, she asked, "What did you say?"

He came back to his senses and turned around to face her.

"N-Nothing. I was just saying that all I have to do is show up at your wedding ceremony. Is that right?"

She nodded, satisfied. She reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"That's more like it. You're truly my good friend, Prince Andreas. That's very mature of you."

He pursed his lips and felt a little helpless.

'She knew that I didn't want to be just friends with her. Why would she emphasize the word 'good friend' again, especially with everything that has happened?

'Gah. I can't believe she hurt me again! I'm the most miserable sap in the world right now!'

Bonnie walked toward the Maybach again. Opening the car door, she got into it. The next thing she knew, Ivor reached out and grabbed her arm.

"How did the talk go with Prince Andreas? Is it done?"

She flashed him a confident look.

"I dealt with him myself. Everything's resolved!"

He spoke in an affectionate tone. "You're right. You're the best, Bonnie."

Meeting his affectionate gaze, she could feel her cheeks burning up.

"You've just eased up on it recently, but here you are with your smart mouth again."

"I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I've never had a smart mouth. It's how I truly feel. I don't have a way with sweet, romantic words. Don't you know me well enough to know that?" He said it matter-of-factly.

She couldn't help but twitch her lips. "Are you sure you don't know your way around sweet, romantic words? The way I see it, there's no one better than you at it."

"You misunderstand me, Bonnie. That's not who I am at all." He paused before continuing, "I said what I said because I love you from the bottom of my heart."

If he had said this stuff in the past, she would've found it irritating and corny.

However, they did what they did last night, and they were closer than before. So, she actually found what he said to be sweet.

She didn't let it show. Instead, she merely spoke in a more relaxed tone. "Alright have to settle something at the university. So, I've got to go now. If you have something to talk about, then it'll have to wait until I get back."

He wrapped his arm around her slender waist, unwilling to let go.

"How are you this busy? Can't you just keep me company for just one day?"

Something occurred to her, and she blushed.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

"Did it slip your mind that I kept you company for the whole of last night? Is it not enough for you?"

His face was filled with satisfaction when he thought about last night, but he still wasn't willing to let go of her waist.

"Not enough at all. It'll never be enough for me unless you stay with me twenty-four-seven."

She rolled her eyes at him.

"If I do as you say, we won't do anything but stick together like a couple of magnets for the whole day."

"Can we?" He asked earnestly. Obviously, he really wanted what she said to come true.
