It can’t be... can it?
~~ LEE SHOPPING MALL ~~
"Cam, why here..?" Kimberly asked surprised as she stared at Camilla who was all smiley. Camilla had woken her up in the early hours of the morning all excited telling to dress up that they were going somewhere...
Having no room for argument, Kimberly had to get up from bed even with dark circles around her eyes as Camilla couldn't let her rest since they saw each other coincidentally at the castle the other night.
~~ FLASHBACK ~~
~~ TWO NIGHTS AGO ~~
After her wonderful moment at planet, Kimberly was famished and she began heading downstairs for dinner. She was still walking along the walkway way when her something hit her.
Old man Chen had brought her phone back from the hut the other day he went out! Why did she thought of that?!
Kimberly quickly rushed to her room, she grabbed her phone from the drawer where Old man Chen had told her he kept it. Thinking it was already charged, she tried to power it on but the phone didn't bulge and she sighed sadly.
With the phone in her hand, Kimberly walked downstairs to the dinning room. When she got there, she was surprised to see Old man Liu's usually spot empty.
Well, blame her not... Old man Liu hardly leaves that spot.
However...
Seeing Kimberly looking around, one of the female servants Kimberly could guess was of higher position than the rest approached her.
"Do you need anything ma'am..?" The servant asked politely.
"Is there a place I can charge this?" She asked showing her the phone. The servant nodded and immediately took the phone from her walking away.
Then, Kimberly walked to the dining room, sat down and began eating since the dinner was already served.
Kimberly sat alone eating since there was no one else to eat with as Old man Chen had already went back to the hut saying he was more comfortable there.
However...
After she finished eating, Kimberly sat down at the mini sitting room near the dinning room. Since she was going to be bored inside her room, it was better to pass her time there waiting for her phone to charge. She grabbed one of the numerous magazines kept at the table beside the couch she was sitting and began reading it.
She was still reading it when she began feeling sleepy, then slowly she dozed off.
Not long after, Kimberly felt a soft tap on her shoulder and she flickered her eyes open instantly.
"Here ma'am, it's charged.." the servant said as she handed Kimberly the phone with a warm smile.
"Thank you.." Kimberly said as she returned the smile in an awkward way and the servant left.
Weird...
"Finally..." Kimberly muttered as she quickly unlocked her phone. Excitement was the only word to describe how she was feeling right now. She was about scrolling through her contacts when she felt she heard the walkway glass door open and close. She looked towards the direction but since she couldn't see anything from where she sat, she decided to ignore it.
But however...
At that moment, Kimberly heard the familiar voice and knew instantly that it was Old man Liu's.
He must have gotten back from where he went. She thought.
Returning her attention back to her phone, Kimberly typed the first two alphabets she saved Camilla's number with.
Instantly, it appeared at the top screen and she dialed it.
Immediately Camilla's number began ringing, Kimberly let out a rough breath that she didn't know she was holding. But in the next second, Kimberly's heart skipped when she heard the familiar ringing tune and her narrowed to where it was coming from.
The walkway...
"It can't be... can it?"Kimberly thought as she stared at the Camilla's number ringing but it was not picked.
Deciding to call again, Kimberly dialed Camilla's number again and this time around Kimberly's brows furrowed in confusion as heard the familiar ringing tone again.
With an unknown impulse, Kimberly had to get up in curiosity and began walking to the walkway where the sound was coming from.
However....
It was just about ten foots to the walkway when Kimberly's eyes caught old man Liu's figure but it seems he was talking to someone.
At that moment, the call hanged as Camilla she called was not picking up the call. Kimberly halted as she also couldn't hear the familiar ringing tone again.
Since curiosity has eaten her up, Kimberly who was now just about five steps away from old man dialed Camilla's number again and just like the others, Kimberly began hearing the same sound again....
But however...
She was about to make a step when she couldn't hear the ringing tone anymore and her eyes snapped to her phone.... Camilla had picked up the call!
"Kim..?!"
Kimberly felt like her ears was deceiving her when she heard the familiar voice she'd been longing to hear for the past weeks but...
The voice didn't seem to be coming from the phone speaker as the phone was still in her hand, she hasn't placed it in her ear.
"Kim..?!"
Kimberly heard again and this time around her heart skipped a beat. Like a flash, Kimberly didn't know when her legs ran to where Old man Liu was standing, looking by the side her eyes landed on the familiar figure who has a phone placed on her left ear and backing her. With two steps that was supposed to be five steps in a normal walk, Kimberly went closer to the figure and...
"C-Cam..?"
Kimberly wanted to scream but her voice ended up coming out as a whisper.
At that moment...
Camilla who was about to hang the call since she couldn't hear a thing froze when she heard the familiar voice behind her.
And just like Kimberly, the voice she heard didn't seem to come from the phone speaker as the phone was now in her hand. she had taken the phone away from her ear and was about to hang it and call her back since she couldn't hear a thing.
But however...
What the hell was happening..?!
Receiving the call she has been expecting for like eternity was one thing..., but hearing the voice was another thing itself..!
At that moment...
In a swift motion, Camilla turned like a lightning and her heart skipped two beats in a row immediately her eyes landed on the familiar figure of Kimberly standing in front of her hale and healthy...
Camilla felt like her eyes were deceiving her when they landed Kimberly, who was now grinning from ear to ear. Before she could blink again, Kimberly pulled her into a bone crushing hug as tears slowly made their way out, rolling down their cheeks.
It was like a dream.., but it was actually a reality...
However.., on the other hand..
Old man Liu's eyes narrowed in confusion as he stood like a young man that has been stood up on a date by his girlfriend, watching the two young woman in front of him...
Huh?! They know each other?!
What a small world!
However...
Once they were done with all the cries and heart throbbing moments, more like sweethearts. Kimberly help Camilla move into a room just near her's and they began catching up on those weeks they've been apart...
~~ FLASHBACK ENDS ~~
"Well Kim..., was thinking we could shop for some clothes a little bit." Camilla said staring at her.
"Yess... am in..!" Kimberly yelled excitedly and came out of the car.
"Alright then, let's go..!" Camilla yelled in return, she too was all smiles.
Camilla had chosen to go for shopping since both of them didn't have much to wear at the castle and besides she didn't know when Kimberly will be going back to Country Z.
They both walked into the building and began selecting the type of clothes they want.
"Uhhmm! Kim.., will this cloth suit me?" Camilla asked showing Kimberly a yellow gown she just picked.
"No need to ask, the cloth will be beautiful on you.." Kimberly trailed and moved two steps away from Camilla.
"Since its yellow.." Kimberly added with a silly wink and Camilla pouted feigning to be angry.
"You!" Camilla wanted to grab Kimberly but she was fast enough to slip away from her with her chuckles in the air.
"You don't want to come here while am being nice, would you..?" Camilla with a raised brow amidst chuckles.
"No, ma'am.., I don't.." Kimberly said shaking her heard and almost immediately, Camilla began chasing her around the shopping mall.
However...
Not long after Camilla began chasing her, Kimberly was running and made to turn to make a nest of Camilla when she missed a step and bumped into a hard chest.
Huh?!
