Prince Harry's
Point of View

"What's wrong?" She says cluelessly, obviously noticing the look in my eyes.

How do I even start to approach this.
"Nothing" I say, as she nods slowly.

"You're making me worried." She says giggling nervously.

"No love, don't be." I say grabbing both her hands. "Okay how about you ask me something you want to know about me and we'll see where that goes?" I ask, hoping it will help me find a way to bring this up. She nods with a smile.

"Okay, um why don't we just play 21 questions?" She asks making me puzzled.

"Oh, it's a game where we each have a turn to ask each other questions." She shrugs noticing I had no clue what she was talking about.

"Okay, sounds good." I say smiling as she nods. "You first."

"Okay, when's your birthday." She asks making me smile at her interest.

"1st is February. What about yours?" I ask back as she nods.

"22 June ." She tells me. "Okay your turn."

"Who has been the biggest influence to you?" I ask wearily, trying not to push her.

"It's okay Haz, you can ask me anything." She says smiling, making me smile. "I think until I was 12 it was definitely my parents, and then After that Marie and Bertram and yours?"

"My father." I say shrugging as she nods.

"What's your biggest goal in life?" She asks, making me sigh.

"I think it's just to be able to do the best I could possibly do." I say genuinely as she nods. "And yours?"

"To be independent and happy."  She says making me nod.
"Do you have any pets?"

"I've got a puppy." I say as she smiles. "She's adorable, her names Charlotte." I say opening my phone to show her a photo.

"Oh she is adorable." Elle says holding my phone, smiling down at the picture. "I hope I get to meet her one day, she is too cut-"

Elle was cut off by the sound of my phone ringing, making my eyes track down to the phone.

"Your mom's calling, you should answer it." She says handing me the phone as I take it hesitantly.

Prince Harry: Hi mum

Queen Anne: Oh my darling, how are you my baby.

Prince Harry: I'm alright thanks mum and you?

Queen Anne: it's been busy, but we're managing. I miss you though Harry, we miss you.

Prince Harry: I know, I miss you all as well.

Queen Anne: so why don't you come back?

Prince Harry: No mum, not just yet.

Queen Anne: Harry my baby, I think it's time you should come home.

Prince Harry: Mum, I'm not a baby anymore, I promise you I can be responsible for myself and I will come back, I promise, just not right now.

Queen Anne: Harry you can't just run away from everyone and everything here. You've also got responsibilities to take care of here, sometimes you can't just run away.

Prince Harry: Mum I'm not trying to runaway, I've got everything under control.

Queen Anne: Okay, if you insist. When will you be home Harry.

Prince Harry: I'll be home before Christmas Mum.

Queen Anne: Okay, John better be looking after you.

Prince Harry: I can look after myself mum.

Queen Anne: Okay, I'm sorry, I'll see you soon.

Prince Harry: I'll be home soon, bye mum.

I end the phone call sighing, before putting the phone into my lap.

"You're not a fugitive are you." I hear Eliana ask from beside me, making me laugh, taking away the tension my mother shot through me.

"No, definitely not." I say shaking my head. "You're a bit off there." I say making her giggle.

"Phew, I was hoping I didn't get involved with a fugitive, at least I did something right." She says making me chuckle.

"So am I allowed to know why you've run away from home?"

"As long as you promise to hear me out afterwards?" I say, answering back with a question.

"Okay so we're back to worrying me." She says, her eyes full of confusion."Do you already have a girlfriend back in London, oh please don't tell me you're married. I mean I'd understand tha-"

"Eliana." I say cutting her rambling off. She focuses all her attention onto me as I stare into her gorgeous clear blue eyes.

"My full name is Harry Edward Styles. Prince of England."

Eliana Moretti's
Point of View

I stared at him as my brain tried to process what he just told me. So the surname that sounded utterly familiar belongs to the royal family, and He's a prince?

"Prince Harry, of the commonwealth." I say softly, as he nods slowly. I can see the hesitancy and worry in his eyes as he searches mine.

"Elle."

"Yeah?" I ask, not really knowing what to say so I just stay silent, trying to think this through.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner." I still can't find the words to respond, trying desperately to find something to say.

"Elle, please say something." He says nervously. "What are you feeling?" He asks nervously.

"I don't know."

Way to go Eliana, you finally get the chance to use your words again, and you say I don't know?

"I really am sorry, Its just that when I came here, I was trying to get away from being Prince Harry and I found it refreshing when I went unnoticed as just Harry, I random man. I did not mean to lie to y-"

"Haz, this may be a bit of a shock to me, but this doesn't change who you are." My words must have meant something to him as I see him visibly relax.

"I- does that mean we're okay?" He asks, still with a nervous tone. I stay silent as thoughts cloud my head. "Elle."

"Sorry I'm just thinking." I say to which he nods.

"Your thoughts seem to be worrying you, and I can't lie when I say it's worrying me as well. " He says biting his bottom lip.

"I remember that you said that you're going back before Christmas so I can't help but put an expiry date on this." I say slowly looking into his eyes, as he looks sad.

"I understand where you're coming from, but there's no need to think like that, please don't." He say, making me think before I sigh and nod.

"Hopefully this doesn't change anything between us for now." The smile that my words bring to his face makes me reflect his smile onto my own.

"I was hoping you'd say that, because I really don't want anything to change us." He says squeezing my hands. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you, it was just so nice to get away from the public eye and to be seen as Harry, and not Prince Harry Style-"

I cut him off by placing my hands on his face and connecting our lips.

"Mi amore, I understand." I say making him smile. "You'll always just be plain old little Harry to me." I say making him chuckle.

"So does that mean I can try ask you to be my girlfriend?" He says nervously as I take in a breath.

"Well Eliana, I think it's about time you find someone, as much as I love you, you can't work in the bakery for the rest of your life, you need to find love."

I lean in again, kissing him before leaning my forehead against his afterwards.

"Is that a yes."

"Mmh." I say before kissing him again.
