JEALOUS?

I...i don't know what to say".  She smiled at him trying to ease the tensed atmosphere between them.

 " It fine, okay?.  She returned her hand back to his face staring at his pretty eyes.. I'm not upset, but i was sad...you wanna know why?.  She spoke as if speaking to a kid.. Because i was starving that's why. She continued.. So, you being close to Beebah is fine, all that matters is that I'm your wife. And it changes nothing, now does it?".  She questioned him trying to divert him away from the conversation.

   But even though she was trying to distract his mind from its, she felt as though she was saying this to herself more than to him.  But she quickly brushed off the thought and focused on the one in her plate right now.

  " So does this means you've forgiven me?".  This was a question than a statement.

  " Yes I've forgiven you".  She replied finally raising her white flag.

 " Thank you". He said out of joy which was evident in his voice, which he was trying to hide with his composed and serious aura.

  And Mira couldn't help but shook her head deep within her . (" Wow, he really behaves like a white lamb.  She thought and she could feel her hardened heart turning soft but being a strong headed girl, she quickly waved off any foolish thinking or feeling and went back to her strategizing mode. Which was 'GETTING OUT OF THE MYSTERIOUS REALM'.

 Though Mira have to admit that she has a soft spot for the prince Even though she resist. She almost lost all her balance when he begged her, it was like an unexpected attack that was launched on her.

 But still she knew better than to get swayed by her emotions.

  " I'm hungry, let's go downstairs to get some food". She said trying to escape the emotion swaying moment.

  " Okay, let's do that" . He quickly stood up, helping Mira also to get up from the bed.  They both walked out of the room with no traces of the tense atmosphere, which was around them like an invincible fog a while ago.

   When they both got downstairs, their once eased mood immediately desserted them both with a freaking presence which neither of them expected.

For Mira, she just doesn't have a good feeling about her, and why her mood suddenly dampened?, She has no idea.

  While Zamiel was because he doesn't want to get too close to her even though she was his friend, childhood friend more like a sister and he's starting to sense her having romantic feeling for him which he doesn't want , since he has no feelings for her,  and breaking her heart later? He doesn't want that.  So it was better saying it straight to her.

*†********************************************

  Beebah was still a bit unhappy about the way Zamiel treated her, as long as she has known him, he has never treated her that way. So why now?.  " That girl!, It's because of that girl". She kept muttering under her breath.

She was still strategizing on how to mend her relationship with Zamiel, when she got the heartbreak of her life. She saw them both walking down the stairs smiling at each other,  which made her blood boil.

 They looked happy and peaceful as if they were the only one in these world.  (No one existed in their world).

 She was angry, beyond angry. Infact, it was as if she got betrayed, but she herself knew no one betrayed her.  Bit seeing them together made her temperature rise to boiling point..

She quickly left whatever she was doing, to disrupt the peaceful moment between the couple.  And she was right, as soon as she revealed herself to them , she saw that unpleased look on their faces which lasted only for a fleeting before disappearing into thin air.

But she can't deny it, she felt satisfaction that she could summon such expression from them.

  "Good morning"  she greeted smiling mischievously turning her attention to Zamiel as if Mira never existed. 

  Truth is her greetings was directed to Zamiel alone and this was so very obvious.

  "Morning"  Mira being a very provoking and annoying person had to answer. She can't just let someone shank her and get away with it. 

Mira is this kind of person who knows the in and out about indirect insult,  if someone tries to insult her indirectly, and she herself being a Pro in it attacks.

  And this made Beebah fume with the way Mira answered 'Morning' , she felt low as though Mira was showing her her place.  And she also who is not a 'JJC' ( Johnny just come) knows about this shanking and snubbing thing.

  She wanted to put Mira in her place, show her how it feels to be trampled on.

   " How would his Highness like to have  'his' breakfast". She purposely emphasized the word 'his' on purpose trying to convey the message to Mira.

And Mira also being an unrelenting person answered her.  "Anything would do for now, we are not the demanding type".  She flashed her annoying mocking smile at the end of her sentence which really pissed Beebah off

    Right now Beebah's gotten to her peak because she knew better than creating problems for herself, because Mira conveyed the memo clearly, stating" they" both wanted what they had ( meaning they were couple).  She was his wife and she was choosing the meal.

 Even though it sounded so simple it clearly has an underlying meaning.

  Mira drew the line/ boundary for Beebah to know her territory.  Crossing it might not be very good.

   " Sure, this way".  Beebah finally replied, sending Mira a deadly glare, which Mira didn't mind at all. Infact she loved the way the rift between them gets hotter, which in the process Beebah got burnt and she didn't.

     Beebah led the way, more like led Zamiel the way, she was walking by his side, partially facing him, as though entertaining a tourist/guest to show him the way. Mira saw this and couldn't help but shook her head in mockery, smiling at the poor girl's effort.

   Zamiel on the other hand could sense the friction between the ladies,. He was no fool who couldn't sense what was going on and he was infuriated with Beebah's stupidity, he expected more, he never thought she would go ahead attacking Mira,  when he refused her.

   Mira could sense Zamiel not wanting to have an inch distance away from her, he wanted them to be on the same walking pace when they walk, he took his steps slowly in order to match her's.  And she couldn't help but smile with this guy's childish behavior.  

    And then suddenly she purposely took a step backwards instead of forward.  This caught Zamiel's attention, he quickly took a full stop to the step he was about to take.  Making poor Beebah left alone walking forward.

     " Mira, is everything okay?".  He asked walking to her side placing his hand on her shoulder to support her which didn't escape Beebah's eye. She was there standing as the audience watching the affectionate display of the couple.

   " Yes.... I'm fine, it just a bit dizziness that's all". She said in a low tune, close to being a whisper, sounding pathetic and frail.

   "Dizzy?,  don't worry, maybe we should just have our dinner upstairs".  He asked, persuading her with a sympathetic tone.

  " No it's fine. I mean we are here already, going upstairs would just be a waste of time.  Besides, stressing the maids wouldn't be a good thing, now would it?.

    She ranted on while massaging her forehead in a serious manner.

   " Are you sure?".  He asked still supporting her like a pregnant lady.

      " Yes silly, I'm perfectly fine, okay?".  She smiled trying to brighten the foggy atmosphere and also the tensed Zamiel.

   And he nodded his head like an obedient student he is.

     " Shall we?". He said making Mira lead the way.  An indirect way of saying ' ladies first'.

     "Hmm".  She mumbled taking her steps gently as though she was fragile,  where as she was nothing close to such.

      Mira had to admit to herself, she went a little bit extreme by faking it. Especially when Zamiel was being a little bit overreactive. She felt some how stupid challenging Beebah.  I mean, Zamiel wasn't even her "real" husband so why the fuss. She did feel bad for all the unnecessary attention she drew to herself.

     She knew deep within her she has a soft spot for Zamiel, and she just can't resist the guy's caring behavior.  I can't be mean to the innocent guy, I'll just be natural. But what if you start having feeling for him. Aaaaaghhh. She yelled inside her,  but on the outside was a different story.  If she was saying all this out she would have yanked her hair hard.

    Her expression looks nothing similar to her thoughts.  Because in actual reality she looks absolutely calm and innocent.

**********************************************

     And they both walked hand in hand, totally ignoring the third person which was considered to be a crowd.  But Mira suddenly stopped amidst taking a step ahead Beebah.  She craned her head backwards, as if considering her but once again Beebah got the sick burn. When Mira spoke.

   " Please lead the way, we don't have all day".  She said sounding a bit upset about Beebah's unfit and unprofessional attitude.
