Silence gnawed at my insides. Silence hung in the air like the suspended moment before a falling glass shatters on the ground. The silence was like a gaping void, needing to be filled with sounds, words, anything. The silence was poisonous in its nothingness, cruelly underscoring how vapid their conversation had become. The silence was eerily unnatural, like a dawn devoid of birdsong. Silence clung to them like a poisonous cloud that at any moment could choke the life from them. Silence seeped into their every pore, like a poison slowly paralyzing them from either speech or movement.

A phone suddenly rings a phone that holds a thousand memories. Not just in the hundreds of pictures that could tell my story, but in my music, in the text messages and the ones I never sent, in my voice memos, in the games I play to pass the time away secretly waiting to hear from you, in the way my ear pressed against the glass just to hear a voice.

Nor he or I dare to pick up the phone, we look at each other, at each other's eyes. He needed to say something, I could see it. I give a slight nod, and he opens his mouth a bit and sighs. The sigh that came was a signal, not of his resolve leaving but of the level his tension had reached. He was more like an old fashioned kettle - still full even when some steam forced its way out.

" I didn't trust him here with you, it was as safe as cuddling a black-widow spider." He says now looking at me from the distance aside from me.

"But he didn't do anything, I know it was unsafe but I needed to help him," I said looking back at him. I just finished my sentence when there was a gentle but loud knock on the door. "Who is it?" I yell from the couch getting up and answering it. Standing there was Dimitri, with a new set of clothes.

"It's nice to see you again, my lady." He says taking my hand and kissing it gently, my body shivers.

"Um. Hello?" I look at him and there is parked a limousine. Max comes behind me and scared me a little by putting his hands on my hips.

" I have come back to thank you for saving my life by bringing you to have lunch with Prince Baba." He says looking at me with kind but serious eyes. I take a small step back onto Max's chest.

"Um... Have you gone to the hospital? Because the Prince has no interest in regular people like me. What are you even saying, meeting the Price your hilarious." I say back at him until the door of the limousine opens by a man in a white tuxedo. The prince has come for his family for union, which happens to be in my area. It has been on the news for the last month when he arrived, the prince is supposed to be staying in his Palace for the next year.

Mac starts to close the door when Dimitri holds open the door going to the side and bending holding his ribs. When A man with brown hair, beautiful hazel eyes wearing formal uniform approaches the doorstep. It was Prince Baba, standing clearly in front of me staring at me smiling.

" This is a joke right?" I say looking around looking for cameras.

"This is no joke, you saved my brother's life. Thank you." His soft but dominant voice says before he blows himself.

"There's no need to bow to me your majesty, but um... Dmitri is your brother?" I ask looking at Max who has been silent behind me. We move the way letting them enter.

"Thank you, yes, Dimitri is my brother. He wasn't interested in becoming Royalty so he became a photographer like he wanted. He well, changed his last name, which is actually his middle name." He says.

"Dimitri, is that why you were so worried that they stole your camera?" I as then he nods, the Prince continues about how Dimitri is just known to be the families photographer not a family member.

" This just seems unrealistic." Max says. " just how all this came upon, a strange man appearing at her doorstep wounded apparently being some sort of royalty. Now talking to the Prince, doesn't this seem unrealistic to you?" He adds on looking at me, I nod my head.

"I didn't mean to become a burden to you two," Dimitri says.

"You are not a burden sir, Max may I please talk to you in private?" I say smiling softly grabbing Max by the hand pulling him into the bedroom. " Max, what's wrong with you? You seem like you have a bug up your butt, tell me what's wrong." I yell quietly in French.

"I just don't want to lose you." He says in French back to me.

" You won't, The worst possible thing that can happen is them pushing a marriage proposal on me, and that's not gonna happen," I say to him in English giving him a kiss when there was a knock on the bedroom door, we didn't stop the kiss until the prince walks in, Max and I break apart like children just got caught by there, parents.

"Sorry I didn't mean to interrupt but Dimitri's stitches came out." The Prince says with worry in his voice.

" Wait he came here without even resting after his surgery, you too Daisy in here I'm going to fix it I'll call you when it's done, I mean it,"I say rushing out of the room to the living room putting down white blankets so he can lay down, I sterilized all of the equipment and I sewed the stitches back up. I got the two from the back of the living room.

"he's in a lot of pain right now, so let him rest for a little while right here, because if he moves the stitches will come out. I have wrapped his ribs with a bandage but he needs to go back to the hospital. Don't force him to do a lot of stuff right now he needs his rest." I say to the Prince looking at his brother with sad eyes.

"How did you know how to do this?" He asks sitting next to Dimitri.

"If you want to become a general surgeon you have to be prepared, I just make things simple as possible. Like sewing him up it's just like a blanket just more delicate." I say.

"You want to become a general surgeon, huh? You're very unique, Thank you." He says, I nod and got to Max.

" Where were we?" I whisper, giving him a long passionate kiss. A few hours later, after a few nice conversations with the Prince, I say. "I think he's good enough to get in the vehicle, just by the looks of it. I think it's time you two should go home. And need to thank me again, I was just doing my job."

" Why don't you come with us, just in case something happens again?" The prince offers.

" I'm sorry.." Max and I say at the at the time. " we might have to take a rain check." Max continues as we both chuckle at saying the same thing.

" Okay, I hold you to that. Thank you, goodbye." The Prince says from the inside of the limousine after getting Dimitri in. We wave, goodbye as it drives away.

We go back in that side, locking everything up, after taking showers we lay in bed chatting away about the day we had.
