The Princess & The Jerk (Fifth Book of "Fire and Ice" Series)

CH.10: Fairy Weirdo Princess and Dark Jerk Prince

Dear All,

As anticipated, I'm finally able to post a new chapter for this story, which I hope you will really enjoy.

I am very sorry for the wait and I know many of you are asking me for "Beyond Those Irresistible Eyes" and as well for more edited chapters of "Fire and Ice", but I am just overwhelmed with work and other things. However, worry not, because you know how much I love writing, so I am on it whenever I can. Soon, I will give you more updates!

Now, this is a chapter I know many of you expected, because it brings us the long waited Halloween's party, which is a turning point for both Viola and Sergey, but as well an important moment that connects the story to "Loving You is Forbidden". You will see scenes we already read there, but experienced through different point of views.

I honestly hope you will enjoy it, so I will be looking forward to reading your comments and messages! Let me know what you think, thank you! I will definitely reply, maybe not immediately, but I will, also for the other chapters, promised 😊

The chapter is long, but I know you love it, and well, very emotional and rich of small events and interactions, giving I think the final push to their story. You will see what I mean.

The banner was created by me and the song is one of Viola's favourite songs, playing also during the party.

I would like to dedicate the chapter to all of you following me and being fabulous, very kind readers, but in particular to _silent_one as I am aware you were really waiting for this particular one and well, as a big thank you for your feedback, your being very funny and friendly, and many other things! I hope you will like it.

And now, enjoy it!

"It was like you brought colour to my life. You changed my life, all by yourself," by Karuho Shiina in "Kimi ni Todoke"

SERGEY POV:

She was going to kill me; she was going to kill me; she was going to kill me.

Yeah, she was going to kill me in the most sweet and cute way, and I was going to gladly die because of that. God, it took all my self-control and awareness of our situation, of what a special girl she was, not to kiss her and blab out how far gone I was for her; but I controlled it because, first of all it would have been the wrong place, time and occasion, and second of all, I had a few things to unavoidably sort out, starting from completely facing that group of people in school I used to hang with, and ending it with confronting Denisov in the rightful civil way, especially his family. I behaved like a complete piece of trash that day, taking my anger and self-hate on him.

I arrived at home after having seen Viola off, still remembering the soft touch of her lips on my cheek, the aroma of her hair, the beautiful sound of her giggles, and I found Dasha in the kitchen talking with mom, our father probably either still in his studio or at work. I didn't really pay attention to that, but after greeting them and having washed my hands, he appeared in front of me since he actually was at home. We stared at each other in uncomfortable and very much awkward silence, and I readied myself to some sort of lecture, because I doubted that he would let it go so easily, but the sermon never arrived, throwing me off balance quite a lot.

"How is Viola? You told me something happened and that you had to stay with her, thus I hope she is feeling good now?" I gawked at dad cocking up one brow, not even sure this was the real one, wondering if perhaps he had eaten something weird for lunch, but he must have guessed the reason behind my immediate silence, considering his following words. "I am glad you seem to think over your behaviour and past mistakes, and I am glad you see this girl."
