TALKING WITH LIANNO

I am walking alone, not in myself while going back to the clothes store where I left Isabela and Jea. I know that Lianno saw me earlier. I saw him looking in my direction, and shock was written all over his face.

"What happened to you, Celestina?" Jea was the first one to noticed me going back.

My legs are about to give in. I sat on the couch at the front part of the store. Here I saw Isabela picking out some clothes for me and of course for her as well.

"Do you want some water, Celestina?" I heard Jea talking on my side. I looked at her and a glass of water greeted me. I accepted it, as my throat is somehow feeling dry, drinking it in one big gulp.

"What happened to you?" She asked curiously. I shake my head as a response and averted the forming topic

"Is Isabela not done yet? I want to go back to the palace already" She nodded at my answer and called Isabela quickly

After a few minutes of waiting they already got here with a huge amount of bags on their hands. I even got flustered by the enormous amount of the bags that they're holding.

-------

"Celestina, try this dress on!" I looked at what Isabela is holding and got bashful by what I saw. A black spaghetti Strap Backless V-neck Bodycon Minidress.

"That's too short" I squirmed. I saw her giving me a weird look. She raised her eyebrows at me and give me the dress, not minding my words.

I groaned and accept the dress she's giving to me. I went to the bathroom and changed my clothes. I'm tormenting myself if I should go out or not while looking in the mirror. I feel like I'm naked wearing this one. Walking out slowly from the bathroom covering my chest part with both of my palms.

"THAT LOOKS SUPER GOOD!" Jea's loud voice filled my ears. My face flushed as they're showering me with compliments that I did not expect.

"Stop!" I interrupted their nonstop words. They started giggling with each other. I rolled my eyes and smiled at them as well.

After that, I started to try on all of the clothes that I bought. Thank goodness that the clothes fit me perfectly and it seems like Isabela has a good taste in terms of this.

"That's so tiring" I exaggerated while jumping into the bed, laying down.

Jea and Isabela laugh at my reaction as they also sat at the side, beside me.

"Will you sleep first or eat dinner, Celestina?"

"I'll sleep first, If I don't wake up at dinner time, you can just interrupt my sleep, but tone it down. " I instructed them. They nodded at what I said and happily stood up as they will be resting for the meantime.

"Celestina! Wake up already!" I was shocked by the sudden loud voice. I quickly get up from my bed because of the panic I'm feeling.

"What the heck is wrong with you two!" I scowled at them. I saw them laughing in my reaction. 

"You should have known the look on your face, Celestina" They continued to laugh. I arched my brows at them and rolled my eyes.

"Whatever, I'm still sleeping" I informed them seeing that it's only 6 in the morning. I continued to sleep and woke up at around 10 a.m.

"Stop, Isabela!" I call out her.

She keeps on teasing me with Lianno that gives me a different vibe. I saw her pouting at what I say.

"You know what, Celestina…" I glared at her, knowing that she will probably just tease me more.

"Chill" she laughed at my reaction, raising both of her hands in mid-air.

"I just want to say if you want to go out and walk around?"

Hmm, If I'll go out, there will be a possibility that I will meet Lianno around. But if I stay here I will get bored to death. There are even no devices here that I can use to play or open my social media accounts.

Isabela approached me and clung to my arm.

"Please, Celestina" She pouted and shakes my body lightly, trying her best to make me say yes.

I deeply sighed and slowly nod my head as an answer. She let go of my arms and jumps out of joy.

"YES!" She shouted in joy, smiling widely.

She goes outside and calls Jea, who is currently doing something.

"Let's go, Celestina!" They both said in unison. They took me to the back part of the castle where a huge grassland can be seen.

We were having fun for a few minutes when someone caught my attention. I know that he's looking in our direction. I ignored him, I'm still quite angry at him for disappointing me yesterday. If I can just punch him in the face and kick his stomach I will do it wholeheartedly, but I can't.

"Celestina, let's talk" A cold yet deep voice suddenly called me.

I didn't look in his direction. I continued doing what I'm doing and I didn't even bother to answer what he said. Isabela and Jea are looking at me, confused. The loud voices of them echoing all over suddenly disappeared. I could even hear the birds chirping because of the raging quietness.

"Celestina" He impatiently said, His brows are now furrowed.

I closed my eyes and lay down to rest my body in the tree where I'm currently sitting. I heard him sighing deeply, looks like he became impatient already.

"You two, leave us alone for now" I quickly opened my eyes at what Lianno said. But before I could protest, the two of them are now running quickly saving their lives from this arrogant man.

"What now?" I rudely asked him, not minding his capabilities although I'm a little bit scared, raising my eyebrows and crossing my arms together.

"Okay, I didn't mean to neglect you, yesterday" He sighed, saying his explanations.

I rolled my eyes at what he said. Of course, he should be sorry for what he has done. He is the one who breaks his own words yesterday. Then I saw him with a woman? In a shopping center? What will I think then, right?

"Celestina, talk to me please." I stared at him and raised my eyebrows once again.

"If that's the only thing you will say, then you can leave now" I answered him bravely.

"Celestina…" He tried to come closer in my place but I raised my hand to stop him from doing that.

He deeply sighed, looking at me with no choice.

"We'll go out tomorrow, I promise that."
