I woke up coughing,
I looked at the person who just saved me- Steve.
he looked at me with annoyance," what the hell were you doing down there ? "
" the inferno- girl-can't you see " I looked at the water,it was back to normal.
WHAT THE HELL!!
" you have really gone nuts." he said picking me up in bridal style
" whaa--"
" shush!!every one is looking at us."
mother ran towards us," daughter!! how ? "
" mom!! I felt.."
I stopped, it's now that I realize that only I saw that inferno and the girl.
nobody would believe me.
" I felt tired...YES!! I am tired "
old man,majesty and brother valen proceeded towards us,
" what happened!! how did she fall in the water?"
before I answer,Steve spoke, " she is tried maybe we should take her back .."
thank God!! he is helping me out..
" okay..take my carriage and send her home we will take care of the guest "
he nodded, my head hurts..
I can't recall falling in the river.
I was pulled ...
but nobody saw it?? how is that possible?
" are you really nuts?" he asked," why did you jump in the river? "
" none of your business " I said
" what do you mean? " he said throwing me down
" ouch!! are you crazy? "
" hey woman!! I just saved your ass and that how you pay me back? "
" pathetic!!it would have been better if you had let me drown "
" exactly!! I can't understand woman like you "
" seriously!!"
he came closer to me," you got me into this shit,now we are stuck together and for the saving your life,it would have been shameful if i your to be husband let you die."
i pushed him away and locked eyes, " METAPORA "
--at the mortal world----
Today according to mortal calendar,is Sunday.
there was rush everywhere, some people roamed with families while others with friends. some couples were kissing.
EWWW!!
why can't mortals show their affection at their home? why do they always show-off?
stupid creatures!!
this atmosphere is a lot better than my world. in human world, you are FREE.
my phone rang, it was Ellen.
time to return!!
--at my house ---
" where did you dissapear? " asked brother valen.
I sigh," to the nearby garden "
"good!!I thought you went to mortal world"
I faked a smiled," where is Ellen?"
" she went to pick up leo,Linda and her neal"
I laughed, " don't tease her in front of neal!"
" you should tell her to confess to him as soon as possible, someone can snatch him away "
" our ELLEN is no less than cheetah "
he laughed, " any ways tomorrow evening you will be married "
I smiled," ya!! I am excited "
" how is your relationship with conquering alpha going on ? "
" he is protective and annoying " I lied.
I can't tell my brother that he really hates me and he is faking all the care.
" I am happy sister that you are finally protected now "
I nodded
" what would you tell leo ? "
I was blank.
it was coming,I should have known it yet all I will tell him would break his heart.
" I don't know brother "
" does conquering alpha know that leo loves you ? "
the word LOVE shook me hard," I ..I.. will tell..him..."
I guess so...
but maybe Steve has the right to know but ...
--- my room----
I couldn't sleep,
there were two reason,
number one, how should I explain to leo about my marriage? and conquering alpha about Leo ?
I don't think that I should mention this to conquering alpha right now.
I will just clear it up with leo.
now that I think, I have seen that girl before,
I just don't remember when?
-- next morning--
The technology we only borrowed from human world was the digital.
anyways that's not the point to be discussing.
I called Ellen, " hey!"
" where are you ?" she asked, "leo is asking--"
" tell him to meet me in the city garden"
" are you sure?" she asked
"hmm"
before the marriage, I must let him know that I always thought of him as a brother.
I transported my self to the city garden and waited for him.
he would be here at moment.
" why are you following me? " a voice asked
I turned to see the most unwanted person- Steve.
" I am not following you "
" why are you here then ? "
before I could answer leo popped out of nowhere and called my name," crystal "
I looked behind, " I am here"
he came running towards me and hugged me," I really missed you"
I smiled
I looked behind,Steve was nowhere to be seen.
phew!!
"darling!!" said Steve, who was standing in front of me,"what are you waiting here for ?"
leo looked at me,"this bastard is your to -be husband "
" leo!!" I snapped at him, " you..you can't say that.."
I was angry at leo but mad at Steve.
Steve held my wrist, " come on "
we walked a head when leo said, " crystal!!
why did you call me?"
" we wanted to invite you to our wedding...carola specially wants you to come" Steve replied with politeness
what?? I didn't come here to invite him..
I wanted to crush this person- Steve..
you MONSTER!!
wait till we get out...
when we were finally out of park,I was about to step on his foot purposely when general lavinia appeared.
he whispered in my ears," play along "
" morning general " I greeted
" morning " she replied, " what a wonderful day?"
" yes!! general"
" what brings the two of you here? isn't it your wedding today? "
Steve held my hand,"general!! my fiance admires pleasant weather and we were just spending time together"
I faked a smile," so thoughtful..."
" I will leave then " she said walking past," have a wonderful time "
when she was out of sight,he left my hand,
" why are you so careless? did you forget the marriage law ?"
there was no point of arguing," sorry "
according to the law of marriage, the couples aren't allowed to meet any person before the wedding.
I really forgot that if Steve wouldn't be there for me today, I would have really got into trouble.
" beware of the consequences next time " he said with seriousness, " I won't be your knight next time...princess "
