I was roaming the palace halls, pretending to be a servant. My heart drummed when I first saw her. Jasmine’s cat-like green eyes haunted me from the moment that I had met her. The new maid in our Saudi palace was everything I had ever dreamed of; a body that made every man kneel, her intelligence was beyond imagination and her passion set my whole world on fire.

Although I knew she truly loved me, her love for me was more like a game of push and pull. She did not wish to marry anyone, and certainly not me. 

Meeting Saphira back home in Malibu USA, had seemed like a welcome distraction. And although I resisted, we had deeply fallen. It was not something I could easily take back... Saphira was not everything that I had once dreamed of, and I certainly did not plan to love her. But I did regardless, irrevocably so. 

My name is Benjamin El-Raji Saud, Prince of Saudi Arabia.  
They say love wasn’t supposed to be easy, I know that now. 
The story of how our love became untangled, was messy and twisted and full of heart ache and betrayal.
I truly did not know how our story would end, but is was ours.

Love Untangled

I had a hard feigning disinterest, he was my best friend. Ben had such a goofy face, with that messy hair of his. I think he was going for an out of bed look. The sides were short and in the middle his hair was a little longer, which he nonchalantly wore to the side.

"Out of all the deserts you could choose from, how come you picked rice porridge today?" This sounded like a dare. I could hardly tell him the truth, and he seemed to know that. "While other deserts are usually cold, I love how the porridge warms your belly." I said adapting the same playful tone Benjamin used and held a small spoon with porridge in front of his mouth.

I tried to keep my hand from trembling. "It's sweet, but I always add a little cinnamon, to give it an extra bite." I fiercely hoped he didn't hear my conclusiveness. Benjamin slowly tasted the porridge, closing his eyes.
