Chapter 14: I'm Inlove With My Princess

Lance's POV. . .

I just got out of my car in the hospital parking lot when I bumped into someone I knew from my highschool days. It's Lily. She still looks beautiful. She was actually my ex-girlfriend, my only ex-girlfriend. We lasted for about a year. I don't actually understand how we lasted that long considering that I have no feelings for her. Maybe because while I was too busy in school she is very persistent and patient with me. I decided to broke up with her when I migrated with my family in the US. I found a good excuse to end my relationship with her. At that time, I'm starting to feel confused about my feelings. For some reason, I'm starting to see Sophie in a different way. When she turned 12, I can no longer see her as the little girl that I know. Even when I'm with Lily, whenever she comes by I can't help but to feel those butterflies in my stomach and the eratic beating of my heart. But I tried to control it because she's still too young to possibly be in a relationship. So I chose to stay back then with my relationship with Lily.

"Oh Hi Lance! It's really you. I'm happy to see you again." Lily smiled sweetly. Ok, here's a very beautiful lady standing in front of me, but suddenly a familiar face from a distance got me distracted. It's Sophie. She's going to see me today for her check-up. Just like her effect on me years ago, the sight of her is causing me to feel different emotions. "There goes my patient." I said to Lily then smiled to Sophie when she looked our way. Lily prepares to leave, while I wait for Sophie to pass.

"You're early." I told Sophie when she passes me by. She seems to be in a bad mood. Wait, is she feeling jealous when she saw me with Lily? My heart is hoping. Last weekend seems to be the best weekend of my entire life. I haven't confessed my feelings to her directly yet since I want to say it at the right time. But I can't seem to control myself and even managed to wrap her in my embrace. We reminisced our childhood and walk hand in hand while savoring that warm afternoon until sunset. I actually wish that time will stop but it didn't and now we are back in reality. I as her Doctor and she as my patient.

We walk together towards my clinic. As usual, I check her condition and the result of her bloodworks. So far so good. I'm relieved. She's been frowning all this time so I can't help but asked her if she's feeling ok. "Hey Little girl, are you alright? Your eyebrows seems so eager to meet with each other." I jokingly remarked. She stared at me seriously then ask. . ."Are you sure you don't have feelings for Lily back then? Did you not loved her? How come? She's beautiful and smart too. What is there not to love about her? Now that you see her again, are you mesmerized with her beauty?

I was surprised and amused by her endless questions. I thought that she's feeling pained for some reason because of her expression but it seems she's been thinking a lot about my encounter today with Lily. Could this mean that she's jealous? "It's impossible for me to fall inlove or even like Lily in the past." I simply replied to her. "Why?" She asked. Because I'm inlove with someone else. "Who's that person that you loved before?" She asked again. "She's my princess and you'll soon know who she is when the right time comes. She's the same reason that I can't like or fall inlove with Lily now. I never loved her and I will never love her now. I'm just inlove with my princess. . ." She fell silent after hearing my answer. I'm not sure if she understood that I'm talking about her as my princess my precious little girl in the past.
