Beat You up

Then    I pushed him softly " Do you mean it. If not I will beat you up " 

    He chuckles " I promise ". Eventually, I would get hurt yet, I still choose to accept what he said as the truth.

           ***

    We sit on a bench observing the wonders of the Almighty. His is great, oh Lord thanks for giving me a share of someone else's happiness even though temporary.

   My head is on his shoulder and his hand holds mine. I was in a daze, possibly with a hanging mouth.

   " It's getting late," he says calmly. I don't want to leave at least not now. I wanted to say not yet, rather I said " Yes " I did not want to seem desperate or cheeky. 

     " We are going home " Aziel returns with a polite smile.

   ' Home ' made me like I was walking in a rainbow paradise. I can finally say I am truly happy. I just hope it's not a dream that when you get closer shatters. I pinch myself and it's hurt, hah. I am not dreaming, this is real, Aziel is here holding my hands. We are eventually going to be a couple, of how I wish Janet Austen was still alive I would have told her about this, she would probably be jealous but very happy for me.

  Then again a voice in my head tells me otherwise, what if this is not real, what if he is only tricking me and will laugh in my face right now, any moment now, I am waiting.

   He gives my hand a reassuring squeeze. I secretly blush and lean closer. He opens up the car door and fastens my seatbelt too. I smile at him.

   " How do I look, " Mae asks as she twirls. Now that her hair is straighter and she is wearing a jumpsuit just like Pearl loves to. She looks like her.

   Grandma Cecilia praises" Stunning, absolutely stunning. Sometimes I wonder if you are a human or drawn by someone "

    Mae blushes uncontrollably " I Know grandma I am truly beautiful, I am gorgeous I am perfect. I am so pretty that when I stare at myself in the mirror I get lost, I'm so beautiful that it fucking hurts "

   Grandma Cecilia twisted her face " Don't be so overconfident in front of my grandson, be innocent and down to earth. Then he will love "

   Mae rolls her eyes" fine ". She stares at her reflection and beams with pride, she was indeed perfect. The jumpsuit brought out her eyes and exquisite features

" No wonder why Aziel loves Pearl because of the way she dressed, " Mae thought twirling once more for herself.

   At that moment, Juilika came in with a frown she was bubbling in anger. She tugged grandma Cecilia's arm. Cecilia pushed her hands away " Did you leave your manners before strolling into this room "

  Juilika gritted her teeth " Grandma it is no time to lecture me, Brother has done the unspeakable he refused to divorce that barren witch " Juilika vomited with a puckering face.

Grandma Cecilia could not believe it she staggered back in shock.
