* Lora Croffard's POV *

In my room I go to sit on my bed. I pull closer the three small boxes that Liam just gave me.

They are all black with a bright pink ribbon tied around it. Really pretty actually.

There's a small card on the smallest box. Because you're my Cinderella. Ah, that's so adorable, I can almost cry!

In the one box is a cute heart shaped silver necklace and in the other matching ear rings.

When I open the last box, my breath got stuck in my throat. I take out the small ring to have a closer look. It's a crown. There a little note hanging from it. A Crown for Cinderella. I love it. There's no doubt about it.

It sits perfectly on my fingure. I'll never take it of again!

I take the card from Mary again and start to reread it again.

Dear Lora

We miss you so much. The kids hate their new nanny and Nash misses her best friend.

I miss you to, you were always there when I need someone. Not only to take care of the kids, but also just to talk to.

You'll always be my daughter, you know. No matter what or where you might be.

But Lora, I want you to come back. Come back home. We can transport you back. I'll pay everything. We can transfer you to our collage here. I'll pay for you course and for anything you'll need.

I've send Liam there to get you. Everyone wants you back. Please think about it. The kids need you. I need you.

With all my love.
Mary

I'm stunned. What the hell?! I stand up and walk down to the guest room. I knock on the door but there's no answer. I open the door and spot him peacefully asleap.

I walk up to him and shake him lightly till his eyes flutter open.

"Lora? What's wrong?" he sits up straight.

"Do you want me back?"

"What?"

"I've read Mary's letter. They want me back and that's why you're here. To come to get me."

"Ya."

"Why?"

"We've planned this already two months back. To come and get you."

"But what if I don't want to go back?"

"Common, Lora. I know you want to go home."

"I do, but what if my home is here now?"

"Is it?"

"It's starting to be, yes. And what about Gram? I can't just leave her here, you know."

"She've been here her whole life. She'll be fine."

"She can't die alone, Liam."

"I can't force you to come back home, Lora. But just decide what you want to do with your life. You could come back with me and do your course there. Because that's the only reason that you're here for."

"I've worked my whole life to get here, Liam."

"I know you did. Come here." he pulls me on top of the bed next to him. His arms goes around me and ge pulls me closer. "Whatever you decide, I'll support your decision. I promise."

"I'll just have to take some time do make my decision."

"I'll respect that."

"When are you going back?"

"I have nine days here left, if that's fine with you."

"Works for me."

"Good, because I'm not leaving whatsoever." I pull myself up and sit on his stomach.

"Don't get wise guy with me here, mister." he tries to sit up straight but I push him down with my one hand and his hand lands on my thigh."Wise? Who me? No ways!"

"That's what your saying!" unexpectedly he throws he of and come to lay on top of me.

"What was that you said?"

"N- nothing." I stutter, because his face is sentimeters away from mine.

"Sorry, what?"

"Get of me, you giant monkey!" before I know it his mouth is in mine.

"Don't ever call me a giant monkey again. Understood?"

"Shut up, Cinderella." I mock him and pull his face back to mine. I can't let him go. My hunger towards him just gets stronger by the minute and I won't let it slip through my fingers.

I through my arms around his neck and his tongue wipes over my lips asking for access. A gave it so him.

* Liam Lockwood's POV *

I wake up from a sweet smell. When I open my eyes memories came back. Last night was the best night, I won't ever forget it.

She's still fast asleep, my arms. I can get use to this for the rest of my life. I know it's probably to early to think about it this way but sometimes you can't help it, because your feelings are to strong to ignore it.

She suddenly turns around to face me. "Morning." she pecks my lips and smile.

"Good morning, Cinderella."

"I've forgotten to thank you last night."

"Why would you want to thank me?" she lift her hand that was in mine. That was when I spot a shiny object on her finger. It's the ring I bought her for her birthday. "Oh, well, yes, you'll have to thank me."

"My dear, Prins Charming."

"I'm listening."

"Thank you so much for the best present in the world. And it's not just the ring."

"Then what?"

"You being here. Even if it's onky to drag me back home."

"Ya, that's just not going to cut it."

"What? What should I do more?"

"You should figure it out. And fast."

"Are you hungry? Must I go and nake you breakfast?" she stands up and I pull her back down.

"No."

"Oh common, Liam. What do you want? Should I take you for some ice-cream? Starbucks? To the mall?"

"No, thanks."

"Give me a clue, Liam."

"Fine, we're not leaving this room."

"Do you want to watch a movie? Should I order pizza?"

"Oh my gosh, you suck at guessing."

"Tell me then."

"I didn't say it wasn't fun watching you guess. Continue."

"Not getting out of bed, huh. Well, should I dress you?"

"You're getting closer, but no."

"Oh my gosh! Liam! I'm not having sex with you!"

"Really? You really think I want to have sex with you? Well, not now. Common your getting closer."

She thinks for a moment and her eyes lit up. "Oh, I know!"

"You sure?"

"Definitely!"

"So?"

"Neh, I'm to lazy."

"Lazy?! Really, Lora. You can't thank me for your gift, because your lazy?" I lift my eyebrow at her and she bites her lip.

"No, sorry. You can have it back." I can't say a word. What the hell is she thinking? She obviously has the wrong idea in her head.

She starts to laugh and shake her head. "I was joking, Liam. Stop being so serious." she then place her mouth to mine.

"Your welcome." I say when we pull away.

"Sorry to break your clue here, Prins Charming, but my stomach is going to start to eat itself. You comming?"

"That's a stupid question. I'm begin you Cinderella."

"I'm Cinderella and you're Prins Charming. It kind of works."

"Kind of? It definitely works." I place a last kiss on her lips before we go down to the kitchen to make some breakfast. Only to end up with extra pancakes.
