Chapter 18

Amanda Estelle First day without Logan. After I got home from the airport, I cried my heart out. The pain was unbearable for me. My father was so worried and my grandfather tried to cheer me up. I kept looking out the window blankly as I listened to sad songs. He called me telling me that he arrived safely and I told him to see his family first. I bet his family misses him and can't wait to see him. I want to try to be selfish but I can't, I want him to be happy. "Amanda." I turned to see my grandfather sitting down beside me. "Hmm?" "What's your next step?" He asked and I'm a little bit confused. "What do you mean?" "I was thinking.. if you want to work right away instead of going to college." He offered and I turned my attention to him fully. "So.. I don't need to go to college? But you already paid the tuition." I said and he smiled at me. "It's okay, I'm a billionaire." He said as he patted my shoulder and I sighed. "You'll learn a lot as the time goes by, you will participate in a lot of meetings, events and mingle with people right away. What do you think?" "Will you be okay with that? You paid the tuition already and I don't want to waste your money." "Of course, I'll be okay. So what do you say? We'll go around the world and I'll introduce you to a lot of businessmen and businesswomen." He said and I nodded. "I think it's a really good idea too." I said and he suddenly put a black card in front of me. "What is this for?" I asked as I looked at it curiously. "It's a black credit card. It has no limit and it's yours." I was speechless and he put it on my hand. "But.. grandfather.. I won't use it." "You can buy an airplane ticket every month to go to Denmark. I kinda promised Logan that I'll send you to Denmark every month." My eyes widen and a smile creeped on my face. "Really?" "Yeah, you can buy anything you want too. You can buy designer bags, beautiful clothes, cars.. jets.. I'll pay it for you." "I don't deserve this.. this is too much." I said as I looked at the card. "It's fine but you have to guard that card with your life." He chuckled and I shook my head. I gave the card back to him. "I don't need it, grandfather. I'll just let you know when I want to see Logan.. then you can buy me a ticket to Denmark." I said smiling to him. "But.. you need this to go shopping. Do you like having cash more? I'll give you cash to-" "Grandfather, I don't need it. I'm fine." I said trying to calm him down. "You only want Logan huh?" He asked and I nodded. "I was too attached so that's why it's hard for me to let him go." I said as I looked doen to the ground. "I understand." My grandfather said and then he stood up. He gave me a patt before going out from my room. I realized that my grandfather leave the black card and I looked at it blankly. I have to be tough. Suddenly my phone rang and it's Logan. I smiled and picked up the phone right away. "Hey Mandy, what are you doing?" He asked me in a cheery tone. "Just looking out the window. How about you?" "Just talked to my parents." "Oh.. I talked to my grandfather too. He suggested me to work right away instead of going to college." I said as I took the black card and looked at it. "Really? What did you say then?" "I agreed. He said that I'll go on meetings, events and meet new people so.. I'm a little excited about it." I walked to my bed and turned off the lights. "That's good, I'm so happy for you." "Yeah, my grandfather told me that he will send me to Denmark once a month." "He promised me that.. I can't wait for you to come here!" I smiled hearing him saying that. "Me too. So how's your parents? What's your plan in the future?" "They will send me to college and I'll learn how to be a great King. I'm a little nervous and excited." He said and hearing him saying it.. I'm happy for him. It's his dream to rule Denmark and to be a good King for his country. "I'm happy for you, Logan." I said simply as I tried to hold back my tears that starting to fill up my eyes. "I miss you, Mandy." "Me too. This sucks.." I let out a chuckle trying to calm myself down from breaking down while calling Logan. "You have to keep your promises, Mandy." "I can't believe you're bringing that up now." I hissed and he laughed. I love hearing his laugh even though I can't see his face and expression. "I'll come back to London soon, for you." "I'll try to go to Denmark too.. soon." "What are you doing now?" He asked. "Just laying on my bed with all the lights off." I answered and he sighed. "It's gloomy in Denmark. I guess the weather is on my side today." I let out a chuckle. "Prince of Denmark, Logan Nielsen. I can't wait for you to be King of Denmark, Logan Nielsen." "Everyone calls me Prince here.. it's weird. I'm so used being called Logan in London." "Should I call you Prince too?" "Oh hell no!" He bursted and I laughed. "If you call me Prince, then I'll call you Princess." He said in a joking tone but that slapped my heart actually. "If you call me Princess, I'll change my name to Mandy so everyone can call me Mandy." "Don't make me angry, Mandy. Only me and your father who can call you that.." He said seriously and I chuckled. "Why so serious suddenly?" "I won't like it when someone else especially a guy calling you Mandy. I will flip.." "You're weird." I rolled my eyes even though he can't even see me. "If you want me to be a good King who never kill someone.. then don't try to go around telling everyone to call you Mandy."
