Chapter 8: The reunion part 2

Chapter 8: The reunion part 2

"Wait." I stop James and the latter look at me, confused.

"Well, I just want to give them a surprise. Mind hiding for a minute?" They look at me, more confused but I just smiled.

Domenicus nodded and hide behind the wall beside the door. The other four followed.

"Do your best!" James said excitement can be seen in his entire face.

His hands were up in the air, silently cheering for me. Even the three boys followed him and raised their hands but Domenicus just stared at me coldly as if he doesn't care at all.

I just smirk at them and never glance at Domenicus again.

I step closer from the door, I sighed heavily to calm down, and when I did I grab my beanie revealing my long wavy hair and my butterfly barrette.

I heard them gasp but I ignored them and opened the door gracefully.

I saw people wearing their best dresses, elegantly and arrogant. Men in their tuxedos look like decent people but it was true that no matter how decent you dress if your attitude is stinky, it won't hide it.

But there's this one woman who is surrounded and being praised non-stop. She arrogantly smirked and flaunt her dress as she poses.

I sneered and chuckled.

This woman never changed. She's still like attention and still very full of herself but stupid.

And I guess this woman's radar when it comes to beauty gets stronger and stronger as time passes by.

"Oh, look who's here!" She purposely shouted and approach me.

I crossed my arms over my chest and look at her like she was nothing.

"Oh? Still arrogant aren't we?" She mockingly said and twirl the glass she was holding.

"Who owned the venue? Too cheap." I said and smirk.

Yes. It is cheap.

The chandelier is fake.

Before I donated cellphones for the kids in the orphanage and they hate it when I buy expensive things I once mentioned to them that I want to buy a chandelier to change the chandelier in the mansion. So, they showed an app to me, where you can buy expensive things at a cheaper price but I found out that it was fake.

The structure is indeed pretty but the design is obviously painted by a third-rate painter. It was obviously sloppy but you won't notice it at first glance you need to stare at it to realize it.

"What did you say?!" She angrily shouted and aggressively run towards me but someone stop her.

"Aonaran, you just came here but you are causing trouble already." I rolled my eyes and smiled, containing my laughter.

Ah, I miss this!

"Oh dear, isn't the Miss perfect and now the Top architect or...is it? Can't even determine a third-class design." I insulted her without a second thought.

They gasped loudly and stared at Syl worriedly. I saw how her eyes widened in shock but I could see in her eyes that she was enjoying it.

But before she could answer back an aggressive not- so-dangerous snake approached me but she was stopped by Miss top architect.

"Let go of me, Aonasyl! I'm going to kill that cheap bitch! She ruined the party! No one wanted you to hear, you slut!" She angrily shouted as her face turned red.

She's wearing a freaking green dress and all I can see is an angry Sherk.

Oh, boy...

"Cheap? Me?"

I laughed mockingly as I look at her from head to toe. "Girl, my shirt is much more expensive than your dress."

"You!"

Our batchmates gasped loudly and started to whisper each other while keep glancing at her, particularly her dress.

"No wonder I find the dress fabric is weird!"

"Yeah! As far as I know, those five pairs of dresses were only bought by one woman!"

"But she said she bought it... so she has five of them?"

"Bah! It is obviously a lie!"

"The designs are weird too! Look at the design, isn't that supposed to be a carnation flower? But look, it's a rose!" 

"You did this on purpose!" I laughed evilly and glance at Syl.

"Nah. Why would I waste my time with you? Such a useless bitch not worth my time at all." This time, Syl let go of Shernina and let her step near me and splash the wine on her hand.

I closed my eyes and waited for the cold wine to devour me but all I could feel was warm arms wrapped around me.

A familiar perfume attacks my senses of smell. His embrace is warm and comforting. I felt so weak inside his arms, the feeling of being embraced by him is there again. It is enchanting that I'd wish I could stay forever. My hands trembled in fear at what I thought as my heart beat faster than it used to be.

But it ended so fast when my mind instantly know what's my heart has been feeling.

Memories of how they destroyed flash in my mind like a light.

The feelings that overwhelmed me a while ago vanished like the air passing through us.

I pushed him hard and glared at him. "How dare you touch me?! A mere bodyguard does not have the right at all!" I angrily said at him and distanced myself.

He stared at me as his eyes darkened. His jaw clenched as his aura is getting darker and darker.

I know that look on him. He is mad. But why would he be mad? I just told him the truth!

Even though, I still prepared myself as different scenarios appeared in my mind.

He keeps on staring at me for a minute before he decided to move closer to me. Afraid that he'll do something to me, I unconsciously grab my barrette and caress it.

He stop on his track and stared at my face and then move towards my hands. His angry face suddenly changed into something unexplainable.

His face suddenly relaxed as his eyes turned soft and filled with something like love? Or is it just my imagination?

What is he thinking?

Does he think that I still can't move on from him? Dream on! I'm scared of him! I'm not just prepared today if he'll get mad.

He turned his back on me and face the crowd, particularly Shernina. "Don't cause any more trouble with the Young Miss or else I have to deal with you," I smirk at what he said.

I step closer and stood beside him. I saw hos Shernina slowly losing her hope and looking at me in disbelief.

"Oh, your idols are my bodyguards. If I'm cheap then they are cheaper, don't you think?" I ask as I look around.

I could see how shocked they were, and Domenicus calling me young miss is proof.

"A bodyguard?! Aren't they successful already? Why did they become just a bodyguard?"

"No way! This couldn't be true!"

"How could that be? Could it be that there is a misunderstanding?"

"Look how Dome protected Aonaran!"

"Isn't that normal? He has always been protecting her!" 

"But they fell apart right? They hurt her in the end!"

"I heard it was Aonaran's fault!"

I frowned and glared at the woman. She instantly looks away and stops talking.

"James, stay with her. I'll just change my clothes." Domenicus said and walk past me.

I just shrugged and look at Syl.

"How long are you going to touch her? Make sure you wash your hands before touching me later!" She chuckled and pushes Shernina to the ground.

"Sorry dear, the show is over." She said as she look at Shernina ridiculously.

I shrugged and tap her on the shoulder.

"Nicely done, cousin!" I smirk and nod.

Aonasyl is my cousin. We've been together since birth. We are partners in crime and always make trouble before. We are like sisters who share everything with each other. There's no secret between us. Aonasyl is a princess too but she studied abroad so we did not study at the same school but we are still updated at each other's life.

"Aona, should we change clothes too?" James suddenly asks which makes Syl stop talking.

She frowned and look at James from head to toe. "You look like a kid." She said and dragged me away from them.

I glance at James who furiously opens his lollipop why glaring at Syl.

I chuckled and nudge at Syl. "That's bullying." She just rolled her eyes at me.

"Well, he looks like a kid in my eyes!" I laughed again and shook my head.

"Do you know that one of them could be the prince?" She stops in her tracks and looks at me.

"Well, as I observe only Domenicus and Biejay could be the prince." I frowned and shook my head.

"I don't know. This must be my challenge but I could feel that there's something wrong I just couldn't tell what's wrong." She leaned at the railings of the veranda and gulped her wine.

"Hmm. I'll help you investigate. Don't act rashly for now let's go with the flaw." I nodded and take a sip from the wine she gave me a while ago.
