He told her to make some calls before he go out the theatre. He also told her to beep him if she is in trouble. His doctor is calling him for almost 2 hours and he is not answering it because of her. In the hologram from his phone, a Danish man faced him.

"Prince Edmond, I've been calling you for ages."

"I'm sorry Doctor we just got here in Arena."

"Well, I hope you don't get any scratch."

"Not a single." he smiled.

"You see, I am so worried on your condition. I will just make some weekly check up on you."

"Yah! Asked me questions."

"Do you drink your medicine, on the right time?"

"Yes, Doc."

"What about headaches and migraines?" he asked.

"I'm fine, no headaches and migraines. I'm just fine."

"Yes, but you are in stage 2, you have to be careful."

"Yes, I know. I still want to live for our kingdom," he paused and only thinking of his love ones. "For them and for our future Queen."

"Yes,"

"We all got a reason to live. And I have a lot of reason, why I am fighting." he said. Then the doctor smiles at him. His crinkled face glows on what he had said.

"You inspire me a lot, Prince Edmond."

"I am glad, that I did. So, how's work?" he asked in his very wonderful smiles.

"Just a bit tired of some things. I am working with the famous young Doctor Caroline Florente. She is intelligent, and I must admit that she is a genius. She is researching about cancer and its cure."

"Florente?" he asked furrowing. "She's cousin of Vitoria. I know her, so when did you meet this lady?""

"Weeks ago. She told me that she's interested on helping me about your condition."

"Okay." he nods.

"I will send you some notes and I want you to sleep in the right time. Yes?"

"Yes, Doctor Stearn." Stearn is the Royal Family's doctor since he was born.

"Don't stress out about your love." he teased that made Edmond chuckles.

"She is fine. She's inside rehearsing, the Phantom of the Opera."

"The Phantom of the Opera? Is there kissing scene there?" the doctor furrows. Edmond stopped. "I told you not to stress out!" The doctor laughs. "Don't think about it. She's too young for it."

"No," he shook his head. "I'll talk to her."

"Talk to her not to kiss somebody?" the doctor asked teasing him.

"Precisely! I gotta go, doc. Good night and don't stress out." he tease back with wink.

"Prince Ed..." he turns off his phone and walked back inside.

She is practicing her song and vocalizing her voice. He sat on the red chairs and staring at two gentlemen who are Gia's leading men. The Raoul who is now singing the song "All I Ask of you" with Gia. His eyes twinkles on the way he looked at her. It is obvious that he like her though he's 3 years older than her. And on their break Phantom talks to her smiling and trying to be charming, giving her water. Edmond wanted to remove their eyeballs from her. He twists the cube madly while staring at them.

"Let's break now and have our dinner." the director said. "The ballets and dancers will practice after 2 hours dinner. Chop-chop!"

Gia sighed and sat on the chair beside him. She's wearing a white wedding balloon gown and it's tight at the back. He pat her head and she frown.

"You tired?" he asked.

"Isn't it obvious?" she asked coldly. He hands up.

"Just asking."

She twisted her lips and stood back in front of him. "Can you please loose those things? It's tight." she said politely. He untie and back and she breathes in relieve. She sat back beside him and leaned on her chair. He tossed the cube to her and she caught it. It's complete and the cubes are in the right colours. He smiled playfully.

"I can have my prize anytime." he said. She blinks and studied the cube if it is in right colours.

"Oh-kay." she said.

"Hey, you want to eat dinner outside?" he asked.

"No," she said and closes her eyes. "I'm too tired." she whispers.

"Don't sleep here." he flicks her nose.

She moans and her forehead furrows. He stood and pulls her hand. She stood and she leans her cheek on his chest. "Gia, fight your syndrome this time. You need to eat and at least wash your face." he holds her back so that she won't fall.

"Tch!" she opens her tired eyes and punches him on chest

"Ow!" he hissed. "You are so brutal."

"You are a dick!" she murmurs.

"Watch your word young lady." he pulls her arms to his nape and he carried her into his arms like his bride. Her manager walks to them. "Where is her room?" he asked. The man at his 50's signs him to follow him. So he did. She's heavy because of her gown. But he carried her weightless. They enter in the room with a gold star and her name on the door. The man opens the door and he enters. He put her on the wide big red round bed.

"Shall I call someone to undress her?" he asked.

"Yes please." he nods. Then her manager pulls his phone and calls someone.

"She fell asleep anywhere during our practice when she gets tired. Good thing that Mr. James had hired you."

"I'm not her body guard." he explains. The manager smiles.

"You apply to him as her suitor right?" he asked. Edmond was puzzled for a while and now he gets it.

"Yeah, right."

"Okay, I'll just sent someone here for your dinner and if ever she wakes up." he said.

Edmond nods. Then the manager leaves. Two girls enter on the room. The girls stop when they saw him. He went to the closet and found a sleeping dress. He gave it to the girls.

"Just remove the gown and put it on her." He told and he went outside to answer Athena's call. "Ma'am?"

"Edmond, is Gia okay?"

"Yes, she's asleep Mrs. James."

"Good. Oh please check if she's breathing fine. Sometimes she's hardly breathing when sleeping. I put an oxygen machine on her bag."

"Yes, Ma'am. She'll be fine."

"Okay, good night Edmond."

"Good night, Mrs. James." When he gets inside the room the girls had changed her dress and the girls looked at him and smiles. He nods at them and smiled simply.

"Thanks." He said they replied "you're welcome" and they leave.

He sat beside her and he pulls the blanket over her shoulder. He stares at her face and caress those curled hair, which is curled like Christine Daae in the play. He went to bathroom and gets some clean towel, cottons and a makeup remover. He read the directions on how to use it.

He doesn't really know how to use it. He sat beside her and he put an amount of makeup remover on the cotton and he rubbed it on her face gently. He rubbed it on her eye lids and under her eyes down her cheek. He stared on her lips and he touches it by his fingertips. It's warm and soft. How can he resist her?

"Gia?" He calls. She did not answer. He put down his hand and he grabbed the wet towel and he gently rubbed her face. How can I make her kiss me? A bright idea comes up in his mind.

When the dinner had arrived, he had settled the dinner on the table and then he kneels on the sofa waking her up.

"Gia! Wake up!" he shake her shoulders. It didn't work. Then he kneels astride her tights and pulls her arms to sit her up. "C'mon Gia, don't make this hard on me. Wake up!" he shake her arms and her head hang back but nothing had happen. He gasped when she falls on bed and it had pulls him because of the gravity. He falls on her, but he had propped his elbow before he put his weight on her. He looked down at her and all he saw is her gorgeous face.

"Gia..." he whispers. "If Aurora, the sleeping beauty had woke up after the true loves kiss, should I kiss you too and prove that my love is true? And it will wake you up?" he said. She murmurs something and he had frown to it. "Okay, I don't understand it, but can I have one kiss? Just one. Give me some sign." he whispers talking to the half dead. He moves down his lips to her. "Silent means yes." he smiles playfully. She sipped some air, swallowed and still asleep. "Okay, that's yes." he slowly move his lips down to hers and when he felt a warm soft skin of her lips he had felt a shivering cold at his spine and it tickles him. He pressed his lips on her. He gasped when Gia's arm grabbed him down, and she move to her side hugging him like a pillow but their lips are still together.

When he slowly opens his eyes, she is slowly opening her eyes too and he automatically moved his lips away. That was close. She sipped some air and she sat up scratching her eyes crawling down the sofa and walk to the rest room. He sat up puzzled and waited there for a minute and then Gia had come out eyes close walking back to the sofa and she dropped her body beside him.

"Gia?" he calls. He pulls the blanket and he covered it on her body. "Gia, what happened?" he asked.

"Idunno." she murmurs and her hand taps on the sofa looking for something and it find the pillow and she pulls it, putting it under her cheek.

I hope she doesn't know that I kissed her. He touches his lips and he can still feel her lips. He looked down at her and he kissed her head.

"Good night. Thanks for the kiss." he smiles wonderfully that he didn't expect to draw on his lips.

"Hmm," she moans.
