Chapter 12: Dinner
It didn’t take long for my maids to arrive, and then proceeded to draw a bath for me and dress me up in a very pretty dress that made me feel very gorgeous.
When I was presented to the prince who was already waiting at the dining room, I watched as his mouth dropped open as soon as his eyes landed on me.
I could feel his eyes on me. Dark, intense eyes dragged over my entire body, from the top of my head, over the knee length flared dress I had on, to the heeled sandals at my feet, and back to settle on my face. I felt myself start to grow a little uneasy underneath his gaze when he kept staring at me, especially when he still didn’t say a thing and some minutes had passed.
Was he impressed by how I look? Does he like what he sees? Or is he disgusted? I couldn’t tell since his gaze gave nothing away. I made sure to still keep a confident look up as I remained in the same spot until I’ve had enough, and then I cleared my throat.
Thst seemed to snap him out of his trance and he cleared his throat as well, and then he turned around and walked toward the dining table which was filled with so much food. He didn’t stop to check if I was following him, like he didn’t bother to compliment me.
Perhaps he really was disgusted.
That realization stung a little but I shoved that feeling away before rounding the table, eying the spot at the other side of where Damon was already sitting.
He made a tsking sound before I could slid into the seat, and then he pointed at the seat on his right hand side.
"Come sit in here." He instructed and I pursed my lips, already feeling irritated but I didn’t want to argue with him tonight. I promised myself it was the last thing I’d do with him tonight, and that was why I wordlessly stepped forward and rounded the table again till I got to his right side. He didn’t bother pulling the chair out for me.
Asshole.
I pulled the chair out and sank into it, and then I wordlessly avoided his gaze because it really was unnerving me, like it was trying to dig into my soul. In this position, his scent easily wrafted into my nose and I tried not to breathe it in but it was impossible, because it was literally swirling around me right now.
