The Broken Prince - Chapter 133

A PROMOTIONAL CHAPTER FOR MY BOOK: IN ANOTHER LIFE – BL

Yvain looked at France for a moment before turning his gaze towards his assistant Bella. “Clear all of my schedules this afternoon.” Bella smiled and nodded. Yvain looked at France with a smile yet again.

“Is that a yes?”

“Well I wouldn’t clear my schedule if I would say no.” Yvain chuckled. “Daniel, book me a restaurant right now.” Daniel just nodded and headed out the room to make reservation.

“Shall we head out?” Yvain nodded at France before turning yet again to Bella. “You can go have lunch now.” Bella nodded and walked out.. The two of them were left in the room. France smiled lightly at Yvain and gestured that they should head out.

As they walked down the hallways, many eyes were on them. Mostly from the ladies. Well they rarely see two handsome man walking together and this was a sight to see. They looked like they were a couple and even if some thinks to themselves that it is wrong, they can’t deny the fact that they look perfect together.

As soon as they got out of the building, they were embraced by the irritating warmth of the skin. Yvain held his hands over his eyes as it was really bright. France’s vehicle pulled up immediately and France held the door open for the other. For the nth time, Yvain smiled at the older and went inside. As the two of them were already inside, the vehicle started to move. They were surrounded by an awkward silence to where France tried to break.

“I’m really sorry for bumping into you yesterday. Were you hurt?” The older asked.

“Ah, well you are quite well built so I did feel the impact but it’s fine. As you can see I’m still alive!” He joked and the two of them laughed.

“Well what do you do for a living Yvain? If it is okay to ask.”

“Well, I work as a lawyer and I’ve been at it for a few years now.”

“Oh really? Wow that is quite impressive. You know I heard from my assistant that there’s this particular lawyer who hadn’t lost to anyone yet. Do you know him by any chance?” France queried. His voice was deep and held authority in it, that is what Yvain thought.

“Well, I uh, I do know that lawyer.” He said trying to hide the fact that it was him. On the other perspective, France noticed that the other became shy.

“It’s you isn’t it?” the other asked with a sly smile.

“Maybe.” The other said while looking outside through the window.

“Ah, that is very impressive indeed. I am honored to have such extravagant person as an investor.” He looked to the other who was evidently blushing. Yvain was dead inside. He was cursing himself to death, but his body or mind can’t help but feel shy by the good praises that he is receiving from France.

Usually he would just smile and say thank you when someone compliments him but something about the other is making him feel all flustered inside. It somehow makes him worried and confused as he shouldn’t be feeling this as this almost feel like he’s crushing on someone and in to make it worse, he’s possibly crushing on a man.

“Ah w-well thank you.” He said without facing the other. They were silent for a few minutes until the vehicle stopped.

“We’re here wait let me open the door for you-”

“N-no, there is no need. I can manage.” The other just nodded and went out on his own.

They immediately went inside the restaurant that looked very expensive. Yvain has never been at this restaurant before thus he was amazed as to how intricate and classy were the designs inside.

“How come I have never been at this restaurant?” He asked himself. The other heard him and France decided to give him the answer.

“Well, this restaurant is hard to get into. Only the richest can come here and some of which can’t still make it as it is always fully booked. Maybe that’s why many not know of this place. I just came to know this place a year ago.” Yvain looked at him nodding.

His eyes looked amazed and that somehow made France feel something inside. Not in a perverted way, God no. Not in this place.

“Well, you must be one of the richest since you got us in.” The younger teased. France just smirked at him and jokingly dusted his shoulder to which the other giggled at. A receptionist came near to them and asked if they had reservation. France said what needs to be said and moments, they were already being led to a table.

“Kindly wait here as we will give you our menu’s shortly.” The lady smiled and walked away. Yvain was looking up and saw some breathtaking artwork of chandeliers and he also noticed that there were some painting on the wall.

“Wow this place is amazing.”

“It is.” France said while staring at Yvain.

He was staring at the other as he still find him very gorgeous. But then he remembered what he did last night so he shyly walked away and looked at some other things. Thinking about it makes him ashamed but would he do it again? He should know.

“Hello, thank you for dining with us! Here are our menu’s please take a look and kindly choose what dish are you going to be having for today. I will return later when you guys are ready to order.” The waitress gave out a brochure that contained the available dish. There were some that Yvain didn’t know about or even existed. This place was really something else, he thought. Soon enough, the waitress came back with a pen and paper with her.

“Are you ready to order?” Yvain nodded and so did France. They both stated the food that they want, the waitress jotted all of it down and told them that it will be ready after a while. The pair was laughing the time away as they got carried by their conversation that they didn’t notice that it was already late in the afternoon and the sun was already setting.

As they started to leave, France asked for the bill and paid for it all even if Yvain wanted it to be half and half. “Wow, we got carried away with that the conversation France.” Yvain spoke with his eyes sparkling.

France felt the food in his stomach go in chaotic mode. Yvain’s skin glowed under the setting sun. His white hair was being swayed by the breeze of the wind.

“What about we take a walk? We used up half of the day, might as well use the time left until night dawns over us.” France suggested.

Truth is, he just wanted to spend more time with the latter as he fears that they might not meet up for a long time because both of them are very much occupied on daily basis. Yvain smiled and nodded his hand before sprinting down the stairway. He looked up to see France still up and placed both of his hands on his waist.

“I’m not going to walk by myself you know?” he said. France laughed while admiring the person he’s with. He ran down the stairs. They started to walk down on the boulevard in comfortable silence.

The sun made the sky turn into another shade other than normal blue. The both of them could see streaks of orange, pink and some purple. Kids were playing down the alley and everything around them were just lively. It seemed like the world was fine after all. The both of them were just at ease and were enjoying each other’s company.

“You know, I haven’t done this for as far as I can remember.” France said truthfully. His face was blank, but it showed relief at the same time. He was uptight, and Yvain knew that he always was owning up to the image that everyone painted him to be and to see him like this made Yvain feel special at least that he got to see France like this. Like a normal person.

“You know, you look really pretty, France. When you’re like this.” Yvain said absent minded. France looked at, taken back by the sudden truthfulness of the other. He looked at Yvain with a smirk. Yvain looked at them and then it hit him. He said that out loud. He abruptly covered his mouth and looked at France with wide eyes.

“So, you think I’m pretty? Yvain?” France teased the younger while moving closer to him.

The younger was speechless and was flustered to say the least as he started to blush so hard that his face almost resembled a tomato.

“W-What?! Of course not! I did not say that!” He tried defending himself.

“You know, for a lawyer who hasn’t lost to anything yet, you are quite bad at lying.” France said laughing. His laugh was something that Yvain ought to never hear but he did, and the sound of it lingered in his ears. His embarrassment dissipated, and he just smiled just as how the other was laughing.

“Well, there’s nothing wrong with complementing you right?” Yvain said. France just smiled and looked at him.

“There is none especially when it’s from another pretty boy.”

“Stop it!” Yvain exclaimed before walking away from France in a fast pace. The other followed him while laughing. Yvain turned around and pointed at the other.

“You just called me pretty too!” The other looked at him and smiled. Yvain looked at the other. France was looking at him with a smile and his eyes are saying something that the younger can’t comprehend.

“Why are you looking at me like that.”

“Because your pretty. And that’s not a lie.” Yvain looked at him and smiled sheepishly.

“You know that it’s very funny that we both are acting all girly.” France snickered and said, “I couldn’t agree more.”

France saw a bench facing the sunset thus he went towards it and sat on it. The younger followed the latter and the both of them sat in silence while watching the sun go down.

“It’s amazing no?”

“It sure is.” The pair sat there a lot longer than what they have expected until the younger fell asleep. His head was hanging low and his breathing was making his body go up and down. His hair was covering his face, but France still found him gorgeous. He heard a beep and turned to look at his driver waving his hand. He looked at the younger who was snoring lightly. He tried to shake him, but he would just murmur some things and then go back to his slumber state. The older sighed and carried Yvain just as how a groom would carry his bride.

France felt Yvain nuzzle his face closer on the elder’s neck and that sent sensation on the body of France and God knows something is about to be up, but he didn’t paid attention to that. He smelt the scent of the other and something about it made him want to cuddle with the grown boy he was carrying to his vehicle. The driver looked at him with a smile, but the latter dismissed that.

He didn’t know but the driver was happy to see his boss cared for someone else as he knew that he was kindhearted and that the things on the news are just falsely made-up. He should know for he has worked with him for quite some time now and it’s his first time in his profession, to have had a boss that gives him presents on Christmas and gifts on his birthday, the pay is even better.

Sometimes, France would invite him to have lunch with him together thus he knew that he was a good person. He might seem arrogant and bossy at first, but he really is a nice person, and that he fight for over some stupid ass media.
