“They would be very proud of you,” Aki said. “I’ve done a bit of research into your life. You have a very big following of fans that love and cherish your advice.” He lifted his glass and sipped his champagne.
Malia blushed and looked toward the dance floor. Princess Rika was now dancing with Katsuro, and Hiroshi was headed her way. He bowed when he arrived at the table. “May I dance with Ms. Isakawa?”
he asked Aki.
“Sure,” Aki said. “I have to use the toilet anyway, and try not to step on her toes.”
Malia smirked at him and came around the table and accepted Hiroshi’s hand. He motioned to the disc jockey as he led her to the floor. The music began to play and the sea of dancers parted for the eldest prince of Japan.
“I want you so badly,” he whispered into her ear as he hugged her tightly to him. “It just pains me to see you here with Aki.”
“But you’re here with your fiancée.”
His body stiffened against hers for a moment. “She would rather be with Katsuro,” he admitted. “And I’m okay with that. He deserves to be happy.”
“Oh, so you’ve noticed.”
“I think everyone here has noticed. She talks to him and smiles for him and simply ignores me.”
“And this hurts your princely feeling?”
“No,” he replied. “It only proves my point. She and I do not belong together. I can’t marry her and wonder if she’ll be slipping off to meet him. And besides, you and I are a more perfect match.”
“I am not a virgin Asian princess,” she reminded him. “I’m just Malia Isakawa, adopted daughter of a restaurateur and his wife.”
“I don’t care that you were not born a princess,” Hiroshi told her.
“You are worth more to me than any princess I’ve ever known.”
Malia suspected it was the champagne talking. So what was she supposed to do now?
