“HAHAHAHAHAHA!”
The room was suddenly filled with laughter after a few minutes of silence.
It is then when I realized that I was fooled!
I slowly opened my eyes and saw Ash holding his stomach while laughing out loud.
My cheeks were burning red with the realization that it was me who he was laughing.
Just by thinking how he thinks of me right now makes me want to get swallowed by the ground!
Ack, why did I even closed my eyes a while back?! Now he will think that I wanted him to kiss me.
“Hmpf, what a jerk,” I managed to murmur and was about to walk out when he held my hand.
“Okay, hahaha, I will, haha, stop laughing, pfttt...”
I raised one of my eyebrows as I watch him try to stop his self from laughing.
“Let go of me.”
“No,” he resisted while smiling mischievously at me.
I tried pushing his hands away but it only made me regret after the next thing that happened.
I...
My...
My eyes grew wide as soon as Ash took a step back.
He was no longer smiling but he is smirking while looking at my reaction.
“W-why did you.... mmmmppp....”
He did it again!
He....
He kissed me!
But why am I not resisting?
Instead, why do I feel like I do not want him to stop?!
Sh*t! Control yourself Myrtle. You hate this man!
It is then when I gathered all of my strength and pushed him forcefully.
Luckily, he was too busy a while back so he was not able to fight and now was thrown to the ground in surprise.
“Jerk!” I yelled before rushing towards the door.
Ack, I do not know why I feel my heart really heavy right now especially that even I am confused with my feelings.
Am I angry because he kissed me without my permission, especially after what he did to me? Or was it because I felt satisfied and comfortable with his kiss?!
“AhhhhhhH!”
I suddenly screamed at the top of my lungs because of frustration but I instantly regretted it after the other students and instructors look at my direction.
I then awkwardly smiled and bowed my head before rushing towards the comfort room.
‘Agh, I need to pull myself together.’
After checking for a vacant cubicle I rushed myself in and closed the door to pee.
I have been holding it a while ago and I am so glad that I was able to release it now.
‘Aish, if it was not for....’
“Ash!”
I was surprised after a familiar voice suddenly shouted outside.
“O M G girls!”
Tsh, I am right. It is none other than Cattleya and her minions.
I was all done peeing now but I do not want to face them. I would rather wait here in the cubicle than have another argument with her.
“Have you heard about the news?” Cattleya excitedly asked.
“What is it Cattleya?”
“Princess Aurea is coming back!”
“Really?! Prince Ash’s cousin?!”
“Uh, uh, Prince Ash’s cousin slash fiance!”
W-what? Did I heard it right?
Oh, haha how could I forget. In order to keep the royal family’s pure throne they never let the future king marry an outsider.
This explains why Princess Aurea is engaged to Ash.
Tsh, I do not want to call him prince because he does not deserved to be called one.
“Yes! She has been staying in Gindeah Coven for years now but I heard from my parents that the Princess is coming back to Eucalyptus Cynerea Coven,” another girl who I think Cattleya’s minion said.
“But wait, why in the first place did she went there?”
Yeah, that is also my question.
Well actually it was everyone’s question.
Ever since she left our coven 8 years ago the people have been asking each other of the same question. Trying to know why she chose to leave.
“That is for us to find out. I know that she will be staying at the palace after she comes back but I am also sure that she will be coming here because of....”
“ASH!”
*****
“Where have you been?” I almost jumped from the ground when I heard a serious voice behind me.
After turning around I confirmed that it was Ash talking.
“It is none of your business,” I scuffed before making my way to our class room.
I then heard him sigh as he seat next to me again.
I looked at the clock and saw that there are 20 minutes more before our physical education class ends. But why do I want it to finish immediately?
I feel like I do not want to be with this jerk alone and kind of missed my class mates’ presence all of a sudden.
“What are you thinking?” I heard him ask.
“Nothing.”
“Tell me.”
“Tsh, what did you tell the instructor that made him want to excuse me in his class? I pleaded a while back but he did not listen to me,” I continuously muttered.
Yeah, I have been wanting to ask him this question but I was just trying to control myself since I do not want to talk to him. However, because of this curiosity I suddenly blurted it all out.
“Why do you want to know?” He questioned me back.
I then immediately rolled my eyes before looking at him. To my surprise he was smirking!
What is he thinking again?!
“Tsh, if I know you used your position to dictate the instructor’s decision,” I murmured in disappointment. “Besides, I am sure that you only used me as an excuse so you do not attend his class. You are so lazy,” I added after remembering how he never joined any activities in school before.
“Is that what you really think of me?”
Why does he sound so serious right now?
“So?” I asked in return. “What are other reasons if it is not the case?” I continued to challenge him.
To my surprise, he only lowered his gaze and stared at my stomach.
Could it be because of the...
“You need to take care of yourself more,” he suddenly spoke. “The doctor advised you to avoid getting stressed or it will be bad for the baby.”
I however let out a loud laugh. “Since when did you ever care about the baby? Besides, the doctor advised to avoid people who are giving me stress and you already know who that was.”
