By the time I was done telling the details, Juliette's jaw was hanging. "You liar!" She whispered lowly.

I widened my eyes. "I promise I'm not. All of that happened. He asked me to lunch and he asked me for my number. " i said.

Today was so eventful, I couldn't even believe myself.

"Iman!" Juliette slapped my arm. "Ow!" I yelled as we left the cafe. "You are too lucky!" Juliette said jumping up and down.

I felt my cheeks burn. "Not necessarily." I'm such a nervous wreck right now.

Juliette was shocked. "Not necessarily? You are the luckiest woman in France right now! Don't mess this up.." She whispered the last part.

"Julie, you're acting like we're together. Please stop." I said. I had no intentions with being with him. He asked me for lunch and I had no excuses to turn him down and I couldn't lie either.

"Well it seems like it could happen." She sang. I covered my face in embarrassment.

"Please don't.."

I felt the sun through my eyelids and woke up with a jolt.

I then remembered something.

"Oh my god I'm freaking late!!" I said tossing the covers over me. I glanced at the wall clock which told me it was 10:00am.

"Oh my god, oh my god." I said pacing. I then grabbed my phone and quickly dialed the cafe.

I started tapping my night stand consistantly. After three rings, they picked up.

"Greetings," I heard a voice say. It was one of my co workers. I think her name was Maria.

She also had a dark skin complexion like mine. We didn't speak much maybe because we had different working hours but it would be really nice to get to know her more.

"Hello, its Iman. if you don't know me, I work at the cafe." I said.

She chuckled. "Of course I know you. Who doesn't know you at this cafe?" She asked.

I bit the inside of my lip. "Yes. Okay so I'm very late to work right now. Can you write my name down on the list? I'm on my way" I said quickly.

Definetly not trying to get into any more trouble.

"Alright then. Oh.. Iman you're not working today" She said.

"Umm what?" I asked confused. I'm in a rush to go to work and she's telling me I'm not working.

"Your name isn't on the list for today. It is for tomorrow though." she said as I heard pages being flipped.

"I think there is something wrong. I always work on Fridays." I said scratching my head.

"Nope. You're not working. Your name isn't on here." She said again.

"Alright, thank you." I said cocking my head to the side.

.....?

I checked my phone and saw that I had a missed call and text message from an unknown number.

I opened up the message and it said,

Good morning, hope I didn't disturb you. Don't forget you're not working today. And what time should I come by to pick you up for lunch? -Justin

I read the text over and over again. Then the memory washed over me. The prince asked me out for lunch!!

Wow, how could I freaking forget this? The fucking Prince.
