Ashleigh was inevitably nervous as she waited for her friends and co-writers to arrive at LoveString Publishing — the publishing company to which she was handing out manuscripts. Today is their Grand Fans Day and even though she does not want to go because of her insecurity, she has no choice but to go because their publisher will definitely scold her.
He was blown away by the wind when he looked at the clock. He knew at this time the Wimbledon match was starting. She uttered a silent prayer for her Prince X. Her Prince X is now in Wimbledon. It only needs one win and it will win the Grand Slam. She believed in him and she could feel that he would surely win.
He could not help but think that Prince X would be with him now. Maybe his nervousness would be reduced if he was with her now, if he could see that she was supporting him. But it is far away and he does not want to hinder his dream of winning at Wimbledon.
They have not seen each other for more than three years. They only meet with the help of the internet, talking on cell phones and chatting. They are too busy to reach their respective dreams but still they do not forget to say hello to each other and feel love for each other.
For the past years, her love for him never lessen but grew ten folds instead. Despite their long distance relationship, her love for him remained. And she knew that the feeling was mutual. She could see it in his eyes everytime they were video chatting. She could hear it in his voice everytime he was calling her.
For more than three years Prince X has achieved his dream. He entered the US Open and he consulted the Australian Open and French Open as well. If it is happy, he will triple his joy because it reaches its dream.
And she was so excited because she knew, after the Wimbledon; they could see each other personally — finally.
That is the condition he gave to his Prince X years ago. They cannot meet in person until they have fulfilled all their dreams.
Her only dream was to be finally accepted in her family once again. And his dream was to conquer the Wimbledon. Maybe, after he reached his dream, they could finally meet even though she did not reach her own.
"Meow."
He turned to the source of that sound. From her feet was the Himalayan Cat taken care of by Prince X which was left to her to take care of. She knew how much he loved this cat and by letting her have him, she knew he was giving her his full trust.
"I miss him too, Ryoma," he said to the cat as if it understood him.
He heard the ringing tone of his cell phone. Looking at the cell phone screen is the name of Prince X he was stunned there.
"Good luck," he said as soon as he answered the call.
"Good luck to you as well, Ash. Don't be nervous," he said on the other line. It was even slightly noisy in its line. He could still hear a voice from the speaker. Probably in this game.
"I've heard your voice, eh. I'm not nervous anymore."
"I have a surprise for you later."
"What's that?"
He heard no response. When he looked at the device, the line was cut. Her forehead furrowed but she was unable to call the man because her pick-up had arrived.
"Yosh! I can do this!"
