Birthday Party-3

"Nick were you talking about this surprise?" Ava asked her disbelievingly. She still couldn't able to believe that Ashton is really here.

"Yes, Ava. Well... didn't you liked the surprise?"

"Obviously...I loved it. I missed you so sooooo much buddy." She said again while hugging Ashton once again.

"Well...you said you will come after about two months but it's only one month. How did you managed to come so early?" Ava asked him.

"How can I miss the birthday of my dear buddy huh? And also if my business trip wouldn't end so early then also I would have manage to come to join on your birthday party. Don't you know me buddy?" Ashton said to her with a very proud filled voice as if he is the best best friend of the whole world and it's indeed true in every possible way.

Both Nicole and Ava just laughed at his words. "Hey! I'm serious here ok!"

"Yeah...yeah...we know how much of a serious person you are." Ava told him still laughing at him.

"Ava you go and resume your work ok. We are here waiting for you." Nicole told her and she nodded at them and went to do her unfinished work while the women were helping her.

Now it's already 6.30pm in the evening. Ashton and Nicole were sat in the sofa and the trio made so many conversations among themselves. They are so much happy around eachothers. It's like God has choosen them to be the best friends forever.

•••••••••••••••••

Now it's time for the cake cutting ceremony. The three best friends are now standing together and the most important part is again Nicole and Ashton are standing so close to eachothers and talking very happily as if they are already lovers.

Alexander was stood right in front of them and was watching them while holding a very dark gaze on his face. All he want is to drag her out from there and go to some alone place and spend some quality time with her. He couldn't bear to see her with him. That time he was already overpowered with his own jealousy. But still he couldn't afford to do anything right here because he still is the royal prince and also Nicole's professor. What would all the students and professors would think if he caused any trouble in front of all the people. So for the sake of his dignity he just tried to stay calm as far as possible.

After that ceremony Ace just rushed towards his Princess. He didn't get the chance to appreciate her beauty so he couldn't control himself any further and went towards the trio who are happily chatting with each others.

"Hey, Princess!" He called her from behind. Then Ava suddenly turned around to face him and instantly started to blush so hardly by seeing the close proximity between them. Then somehow she managed to keep herself normal. Thank god her friends couldn't saw her blushing face!

"Umm...do you need something Ace?" She asked him softly.

He then bent towards her ears and told her huskily "You're looking stunning today my Princess. So pretty!" She got stunned by hearing his words but thank god he didn't said that aloud. If he did then her best friends are going to tease her till the death.

She then nervously replied her in the slow voice, "Th...thanks Ace..." Ace was holding a very satisfied smirk on his face. She just gave him the same expression he had expected her to be. "Did you meet my friends or not?" She asked him trying to avoid the topic.

Then only he turned towards her two best friends to greet them. Obviously he knew Ashton so they just exchanged some formalities between them and then hugged eachothers. Now it's Nicole's turn. He doesn't know why but every time he sees her he felt some types of connection with her but he couldn't know what? Why is he feeling this close affinity towards her? Even they both share the same eye colours. Why even in the first place she reminds him her missing sister? Why? There are so many untold questions which are lingering in his mind and there is no answers to these questions. But still maintaining his normal posture he greeted her politely.

"Hello Miss Nicole. It's nice to meet you finally.

"Me too Mr. Hunter. I'm also a very big fan of yours. I watched almost every movie of yours!" Nicole told him getting excited so much. She never met him but now she saw him right in front of her she couldn't believe in her own eyes. In reality he is looking much more handsome than the movies or pictures of him she thought. Indeed Ava has a great choice. She started to praised her bestie in her mind. But wait! he shares the same eye colour as mine. Wow! But she don't thought about it very deeply unlike Ace.

"I'm glad to know that. Ava always used to say about you a lot and also you are more beautiful in real life you know! By the way is it ok to call you with your name?"

"Uh...thanks for your kind words Mr. Hunter. and also yeah, it's absolutely fine. Even I thought to ask you the same question."

"Yes, you can also call me Ace and I will call you Nicole."

"Yeah, it should be fine."

And then they all just did some small conversations but in between this the host just declared to start the dancing ceremony.

In this dancing ceremony anyone can choose their partner on their own so Ace just offered his hand to Ava so that no one can even get a chance to aske her for the dance except him, because there are so many young bachelor men were present who are just eagerly wanting to get a mere touch of the Royal Princess of the country. And Ava just gladly accepted his offer with a blushing face.

On the other side Alexander was just about to approach Nicole but suddenly he halted on his tracks when he saw that Nicole is already started to dance with Ashton. And most importantly he just couldn't go like this to approach her for dancing because she is still a student to him and he also have to save his reputation. But he can't just stand there like that and saw this heart piercing scene in front of his eyes. "Damn it!" He just cursed himself in his mind.

Then suddenly an idea just popped up in his mind instantly and then started to smirk cunningly.

He just went to one of his business partner's daughter and told her his plan. She just instantly got agreed with him. Her name is Sierra Martin and is of 20 years old. She has a huge crush on Ashton and Alexander seems to know about it that's why he choose her to execute his evil plan.

And then he called the manager of today's event and told him to dim the lights till the dance ends and the dance should end after fifteen minutes. The manager just nod at him by hearing his words. How can he even thought to dissapoint the Royal Prince.

And like he thought Sierra approached towards them ( Ashton and Nicole) and asked Ashton to have a dance with him directly. The moment he saw Sierra he just forgot everything for just a second. Then he just realised that how much pretty is the girl in front of him. Without any second thought he got agreed with her proposal and Nicole also seems to have no problem about it because deep down she also knew that she just wanted to dance with Alex. But how? She even don't know the reason behind his ignorant behaviour. But releasing a sad sigh she just backed out from the dance floor and went to standing at the place where the normal people were stood who were not dancing.

While she went and stood on her place , exactly at that moment the bright light of the hall was turned into an dim light emitting a very romantic aura around the whole hall where one can couldn't saw the other person's face very clearly but it still was very entertaining that no one has objected about this matter any further and keep on enjoying the dancing ceremony with their beloved partners.

But before Nicole even could react she felt a very familiar presence behind her. She already knew who it could be! but didn't dare to turn around to face that person.

'Let's the game begin!' He just started to thought in his mind...
