Friends!

Now Alexander was sitting in front of Nicole while a table is the barrier between them. They are now in his personal cabin of the university.

"You seem very nervous Miss Parker." He said to her directly and all she could see is that evil smirk plastered on his face. Where is that cold and aloof Alexander? she thought to herself. But yeah she was beyond nervous. Why did he let go of Ava? Is it because she is his sister?

"N..no master. Nothing like that. why did you send Ava to her home?" She asked him in the same nervous tone.

"Do you really think that, because she is my sister I let go off her ? but you are wrong miss Parker. when you meet with her tomorrow ask yourself to her that what was her punishment?"

"Ohh...ok."

"So you are Ava's best friend, about whom she is always keeps talking about. I didn't expect her best friend to be this much pretty." Did...did he indirectly called me beautiful? OMG the prince himself called me beautiful! But wait, is he trying to flirt with me?

"What are you saying master? It's not right to give this type of complement to your student."

"Don't you know miss Parker if anyone praises you beauty than you should thank him?"

Alexander was enjoying her nervous state very much. And yes he could not control himself but called her pretty because when he saw her closely he could not help but admired her beauty for a moment. He completely forgot in that moment that she is just the daughter of his enemies. Her heart shaped face with fair skin with dark brown eyes followed by a long but well shaped nose with her full plump cherry lips. And the curvy eye lashes that is drawing him towards her very slowly. No doubt he is attracted to her so much but he can't let him fall for her.

"Thank you master, but it's not right you know!" she tried to reasoned him.

He just ignored her words and told her, "Ok look, just think that I'm your best friend's brother just for now. and don't call me master ok?"

"But why?"

"Because I'm saying. No more argument. Just listen to what I'm saying."

She just nod at him as if he just casted a spell on her.

"So what I'm saying is, tell me something about you."

She couldn't understand why he is showing his interest on her? Seeing his confused face he tried to clear her mind,

"I mean I really wants to know about you because you are special. I don't know why but I think you are." While saying this he was just smirking devilishly in his mind. But the reason behind it is he really wants to know about her family so that he can able to prepare his further plans about how to get that confidential information from her parents.

"What you wants to know Master?"

"Call me Alexander." He told her seriously.

"I...I mean Alex...Alexander."

"I mean about your families, your siblings and something about you."

"Ok I'm Nicole Parker the youngest daughter of my family. I have two more elder sisters of mine Alexa Parker and Arianna Parker. I love my family so much. That's it. There is nothing more about me Alexander." she told him. But she doesn't mention the real thing about her family that they never treat her with love and care and till now see couldn't understand why?

He quickly understood that she is hiding something. But it's ok for him because his first plan is to earn her trust because without any trust she will not gonna say anything to him. That's why he didn't exaggerate the topic more.

"Can you tell me what's my punishment?" Nicole asked him softly.

"Actually there is no punishment. I just wanted to talk with you. After all you are my sister's best friend." He told her while smirking devilishly.

"What! Then I should go now master." With that she was just about to get up from her place and went out of the his cabin but suddenly his voice stopped her,

"Did I give you permission to leave the place, miss Parker?"

She halts in her steps and again sat down on the chair like an obedient student.

"Hmm...so what I was saying is, Can we be friends?" He asked her while raised his right hand towards her to do the handshake with her. She was feeling happy but at the same time got utterly confused.

'Why would he wants to be my friend?'

"Umm...why do you want to be my friend?" Then he dropped his hand on the table. Then replied her, "Because you are my sister's best friend, so I thought why shouldn't we be friends then? Don't worry If you don't want then it's ok for me." He told her in a very dissapointed voice but obviously he is faking it. His main motive is something else.

She felt so bad at that time that she instantly got agreed with his proposal. "I didn't mean to dissapoint you Alexander. I mean I just couldn't believe that you the Royal Prince himself wants to be my friend. This information is too much for me you know?"

"It's ok Miss Parker. It's your choice. I'm not forcing anything upon you ok!"

"Yes, we can be friends then." She told him directly while this time she raised her hand to do the handshake with him. Then a wide smile appeared on his face where he gladly handshaked with her.

Deep down he thought that 'Yes, my first plan worked very well and slowly slowly in this way I will make my way to her heart and then after that only I can execute my whole plan very well.'

"I think you did not have your lunch yet Miss Parker?"

"Uh...Yes Alexander."

"Let's go for a lunch date then!"

"What! a date?"

"I mean just for a lunch together. What do you say?"

"Ok, then..." She told him softly.

Then he called someone and told him to book a table for them in the 'Royal Star' restaurant.

The restaurant is placed on the highest peak of one of the largest mountain of the city. And from it one can able to enjoy the full view of the whole city.

"Are we really going there?" She asked him getting very much surprised because it's her favourite place and of course the Winstons owns this place as well. So it's not difficult for her to get a VIP seat because she always came here with Ava. And they both always enjoyed the nature's view very well. But from the past one month they didn't went there. So that's why she is very much happy now.

"Yes, miss Parker. Let's go." With that they both headed towards his Jaguar XJ which was royal black in colour and with it they went for their lunch date.

"Don't worry, I will tell my driver manage you car and I will drove off you to your home after the lunch ok!"

"Yeah, I understand."

With that he just drove the car silently. Both are in a comfortable silence now. She couldn't be able to believe that she is gonna having lunch with her long time crush. Ohh my god! She don't wants to end the day so soon...
