The Prince of Egypt: Ramses Love Story

Five Years Later

Iris' POV

So it's been five years since Ramses and I started to fake court each other. Still no sign of Moses. We only hear from the search party monthly now. Today Ramses will be ground Pharaoh and I'll be crowned a princess. But something unexpected has happened.

I've fallen for Ramses. At least I believe I have. But this arrangement was fake and was never suppose to be anything more. It was like a business deal. Now our friendship maybe ruined forever if I tell him my feelings.

I have known about them for fifteen months now. But I have told no one. Besides Ramses' has always kept it professional. A kiss in the cheek here, a hand there and so on. No touching each other in private. It's all been public, so that everyone believes we're in love. When we aren't, I mean I love him. But he doesn't love me. We've never said the words and today our contract ends with him becoming pharaoh.

Right now I'm in the library trying not to think about tomorrow. I was succeeding when I hear a quiet meow. I look up to see a cat running from something. "Here kitty!" I call as I crouch down. It runs over to me and jumps into my arms. "Where did you come from little fella?" I ask it.

"He was supposed to be a surprise" Ramses says sheepishly. I turn to see him in the door way.

"For who?" I ask him as I pat the purring cat.

"You" he says and I see a faint blush on his cheeks.

"Well he is gorgeous" I tell him. "What's his name?" I ask Ramses curious.

"He doesn't have one, I thought we could name him together" he tells me.

"Ok" I say with a small smile.

"Lets go for a walk" Ramses tells me. I nod my head and he wraps an arm around my waist. Leading me from the room. As I carry the nameless cat in my arms.

"So tomorrow is your big day, how are you feeling?" I ask Ramses.

"Actually I feel fine, though there is something I'm nervous about" he admits.

"Don't be nervous, you are going to be an amazing pharaoh and I'll always be here if you need someone to talk too. Aside from your future queen of course" I tell him.

"Right, my future queen" he mutters.

"You ok?" I ask him concerned.

"Yeah, I'm fine" he assures me. I frown, why is he lying? "So what do you want to name him?" he asks gesturing to the car in my arms. Changing the subject.

"I'm not sure" I tell him as I look at the cat. "What about Tatum?" I ask him.

"Has he brought you joy?" Ramses asks me looking hopeful.

"I've always wanted a cat, but dad was allergic and mum could never afford one" I tell him. "So yes, he has brought me joy" I state.

"Tatum, it is then" he tells me smiling.

"So is he a parting gift?" I ask him absentmindedly as I stroke Tatum.

"What do you mean?" he asks me confused.

"Well, you become pharaoh tomorrow. So our fake courtship will end and we'll just be friends again" I state.

"I don't want that!" he exclaims and I look at him surprised. He blushes and avoids eye contact. "I mean, what is it you want?" he asks me. I smile and lean into him.

"I've really enjoyed our time together these last five years" I tell him honestly.

"As have I" he tells me.

"But, we agreed this would be fake" I remind him.

"We also agreed to tell each other if we've fallen for someone" he reminds me.

"True, you said we'd cross that bridge if it ever came up" I state.

"Well I've fallen for someone" he tells me.

"Oh" I say feeling disheartened. "Tell me about her" I say with a fake smile.

"Well she's beautiful, black hair, olive skin, full pink lips and doe brown eyes" he describes her.

"She sounds beautiful" I say sadly.

"She is and her personality is amazing" he tells me smiling brightly.

"I can't wait to meet her" I tell him.

"You've already meet" he tells me and I frown in confusion.

"I have?" I ask him confused.

"Yes, you know her very well" he tells me as we reach the water courtyard and Tatum jums out of my arms.

"I do?" I ask still confused and he chuckles. "What's so funny?" I ask him and he backs me into a pillar. "Ramses" I say nervously.

"It's you Iris, you're the girl I've fallen for" he tells me as he looks into my eyes. I go to say something and he kisses me on the lips. And sparks fly. I melt into it wrapping my arms around his neck kissing him back.

"I love you Ramses" I say breathlessly when we pull away for air. He smiles resting his forehead on mine.

"As I love you Iris" he tells me honestly. "Can we court each other properly?" he asks me.

"Of course" I tell him smiling brightly.

"Tomorrow I become pharaoh and you my princess" he says smiling brightly.

"Can't wait, you are going to be an amazing pharaoh" I tell him. We spend the afternoon together in the courtyard with Tatum. Before going on a picnic for dinner watching the sunset.

(Time skip)

I stand in the front row as Ramses is crowned pharaoh. "Iris!" he calls holding a hand out to me. I smile and walk onto the platform. He grabs a circlet with a blue gem. "I crown you my princess, the Princess of Egypt" he says.

"I'm honored my pharaoh" I say as he places it on my had.

"Raise Iris, Princess of Egypt" he says and the crowd cheers. I stand beside him our hands laced together. That night there was a huge celebration in our honor. He then walked me for my chambers and kissed me goodnight. I got ready for bed and fell into a dreamless sleep with a smile on my face.
