Everyone was holding their breaths, anticipating Prince Alex's reply. However, they were all in dismay when they heard his response.
Prince Alex cupped Alexa face before he replied. "Sweetheart, my princess, soon to be my Queen. There is nothing in this world; I want more than making you my princess now. However, I know you still have dreams that you want to fulfill, and I am not going to hinder you from accomplishing especially that one dream.
"I will wait until you are crowned Miss Universe, Miss World, or Miss Earth. Before I make you the Queen of my life." He then gave her a resounding kiss right in front of everyone.
Everyone cheered and began applauding the couple; they could not help but envy Alexa.
The manager's face was all red from embarrassment. Even though it was the couple who had kissed in front of them, he was the one ashamed for watching the couple kissing.
"Apologies to everyone for making you all wait. Kindly take us to our room so we can start enjoying ourselves on this magnificent island." Prince Alex spoke with authority while standing proud like the Royal that he was.
All the employees paved the way, while the resort manager began reciting the best things the resort could offer. He kept on talking while they were walking towards the villa where the couple would be housed.
Once they reached the magnificent villa, overlooking a vast ocean, Alexa's eyes widened and were in total awe with the view in front of her. She was not able to keep herself from exclaiming. "OMG! It's soooo beautiful! I could stay here forever and never want to go anywhere else."
Alexa was so excited that she kept leaping around like a little child who had just found a treasure chest full of candies. However, Prince Alexander loved every moment of it while looking at her angelic face shining brightly like the sun...
"Sir! Ma'am, If there is nothing else, I would be going back to the marina. Please, Excuse me!" The manager bid his goodbyes and left while grinning from ear to ear.
While he was walking back, he suddenly remembered Prince Alex, who had attended his big boss' wedding five years ago. He had given him a hard time, and would not let him enter no matter what. At that point in time, he had come to find out that he's s a Royalty and VIP...
As soon as the resort manager left, Prince Alex made his move and pulled Alexa into his embrace and kissed her hard. "God! How I missed these lips...! I have been longing for this kiss since last night when we were interrupted." He mumbled in her mouth.
Prince Alex was kissing her as if it was his last day on earth. Moreover, Alexa was returning it tenfold without a care in the world. She was ready no matter what the consequences were; she was willing to lower the flag of the Philippines and give away her 'national treasure.'
She was burning with desire and could no longer think straight.
However, Prince Alex had more sense and knew better. He would not jeopardize her dreams for one night with him.
He wanted her in his life, not for one night. He slowly weaned Alexa from their kiss and whispered words of endearment instead.
He knew better than just turning her off, she was currently hot and ready to give away everything, and if he stopped without reasoning first. They might end up with miscommunicating once again.
"Alexa, sweetheart, my love, we need to take it very slowly, all right! You're not thinking straight right now, due to your love for me and I'm the same way. However, guess what... Didn't you tell me that you want our first night after you become my princess? So... What would it be? I'm game whatever you want, babe. That is how much I love you!" He then kissed her temple and embraced her tightly.
When Alexa heard Prince Alex's words, she felt like a bucket of ice-cold water was poured over her head and doused the fire within her.
She looked up to Prince Alex with eyes full of love.
"Thank you! For respecting our love and not taking advantage of my vulnerability. I love you with all of my heart!" She tipped-toe and kissed his temple as well, then the tip of his nose lightly smacked her lips to his.
Prince Alex and Alexa decided that to be safe with themselves. It was better if they went for a stroll down the beach.
They quickly changed their outfits to more comfortable ones and put on a pair of sandals and flip flops, a straw hat for Alexa and baseball cap for Prince Alexander.
The couple looked like models from a GQ magazine no matter what they wore. Therefore, when the employees saw them walking down the beach. They could not help themselves from taking pictures of the two as they passed by.
Unfortunately, that was a no-no. Lucas, who had been following them from afar, was quick to confiscate the cell phones and he deleted every picture taken. Before returning it to the various owners.
The lovebirds were able to walk down the beach hand and hands without a care in the world. They knew that Lucas was right behind them, and if that was not enough...- Prince Alex's bodyguards were not that far away either.
It was a couple of hours later before Prince Alex, and Alexa went back to the villa looking all satisfied.
They were hot and sweaty from walking and needed to take quick showers. At first, both were shy and unable to decide if they would use the same bedroom or separate ones.
In the long run, each went to their separate bedrooms and took their showers. The couple now had an understanding with each other that they planned to enjoy their time together without any hanky panky.
At least that's what they promised each other... But, what would happen when the night time comes, and there's only the two of them...? Would they be able to keep their promise...? Or would the one night finally happen...? [Smiling mischievously]
