Shawn Mendes Imagines

59 - Your Highness AU (Part 2)

"Promise me. Promise me you'll at least go to the ball and reserve a dance for me. Help me show my father that you're the only thing I need, not some prissy ass princess who's only after the crown."

"I promise."

With those words said, he leaned down and pressed his lips against mine. I stood up a little just enough to sit back on his lap. Things escalated from there. We somehow were able to reach his room without anyone spotting us nor keeping our hands off each other. This continued for almost a week. We sneak out to see each other, end up entangled amongst each other once we get to his bedroom, I wake up earlier to go back to my own room before getting caught, repeat.

The preparations for the ball has kept both of us occupied and it seemed as if he was getting more annoyed with everything as the day got closer. I can't blame him though. Just the mere thought of him with princesses from different kingdoms is enough to make my blood boil.

I slowly opened my eyes, trying to adjust to the darkness engulfing me. Just by looking out the window– and confirmed by the digital clock on the bedside table, it's just a little past three and I would have to go back to my room before Dizzy realizes that I'm not in the room with Jace. I carefully took the blanket off me and stepped onto the carpeted floor only to be stopped by Shawn's heavy arm pulling me back to bed.

"Stay just a little while longer." He muttered into my hair.

"Babe, I have to leave before we get caught. Go back to sleep. I will see tonight at the dance." I said, tracing random patterns onto his back with my finger tips.

"Do not remind me of that stupid ball."

I chuckled and leaned down to place a kiss on his lips. He pulled me down before pushing himself up– hovering over me. But before anything else could happen, I pulled away and got off the bed. I slipped my clothes on and left the room, not before placing another kiss on his soft, pink lips.

The day went by slowly, from helping with washing the dishes to helping with the decorations. To say I was tired would be an understatement. I went back to my room to change out of the soiled clothes I was wearing when Aunt Dizzy went in.

"My child, you've been working too hard. Why don't you go take a shower and get ready for the ball?" She said, sitting at the edge of my bed as I took out cleaner garments from my closet.

"What do you mean by get ready for the ball?" I asked.

"I mean, I think that the prince would want you to go knowing how close you two are. Go."

"But I don't have anything to wear."

"Just go take a shower. I'll take it from here."

I just sighed and got my undergarments out as well as my towel. I walked past her and went to the bathroom connected to our room. Once I did my business, I stepped out with a towel still wrapped around my hair. Before I could even do anything else, I was pushed to a chair and Aunty do my hair but knowing how stubborn my hair is, she just did a braided half up hairstyle with a few faux blue diamonds placed into the braid. She then did my makeup which just happened to be foundation, concealer, contour, bronzer, a little bit of blush, gold and brown eyes, black winged eyeliner, mascara, highlighter, and natural kind of pink lipstick. After that, she pushed me to the bathroom with a royal blue dress and once I put it on, I couldn't help but be in awe. It's beautiful.
