Royalty Gone Bad

***

Saïda’s POV:

I unlocked the apartment’s door, still so pleased with myself. I stepped in and found Asahd sitting on the couch and watching TV.

“Hellooo. Finally up, huh?” I said, closing the door behind me.

“As you can see.”

“You saw the note I left?” I asked, dropping my purse and going to over to sit too.

“Yes, I did. Thanks for the breakfast,” he replied lazily, looking very bored.

“You washed your plates, I hope.” I raised a brow.

“Yes, mommy. Your threats didn’t leave me any choice,” he mused.

“Eew don’t call me that. You’re too ugly to be my kid,” I teased and as expected, the drama Queen turned to me, wide eyed.

“Me?? Ugly?? Should I lend you some money so you get yourself glasses? Tsk! I’m a jewel. A rare specimen,” he scoffed and rolled his eyes, making me laugh a little.

“Keep lying to yourself,” I mused and stood to go change.

“You sure are in a good mood. Where are you from?”

“Oh, I forgot to tell you!” I exclaimed happily. “I went looking for a job because I’m tired of always staying at home and doing nothing.”

“I wish I was you. Yet, here you are. Intentionally and purposefully going in search of a job, because you are bored? You’re an alien. Who does that?”

“Every conscious, mature, hardworking and normal person,” I replied in my proud, playful manner.

“Oh, that’s funny. You’re none of the above. You’re simply strange. Ha!” he mocked and I couldn’t resist picking a cushion and throwing it at him.

“You’re so annoying.”

“Aaaw, thanks. So, did you find a job?”
