After the celebration, Lina did as she had promised earlier on in the room. She called out to Daniel when he was about to take the elevator.
"uhhm...wait up" She hurried her steps to catch up with him
Daniel's raised his brows with his left index finger pointing to him "me?" he asked
'If not you then who else ?! Do you see anyone beside you?' But all these words didn't get to ears of Daniel.
Lina smiled and nodes " Can I talk to you for some minutes ?"
"Here ?" Daniel said as he looked to his left and right
Lina followed his actions,her lips pouted " If you're not...."
" Come here" He took her hand and led the way to the flight of stairs beside them.
Lina was quite surprise when he held her hand, but she felt happiness deep with her. Her disappointment from seconds ago vanished just as it came.
" So what do you want to tell me ?"
"Huh?" Lina looked up at him questionably.
Daniel chuckled when he saw her look, he would have loved to tease her but he didn't have much time to spare. The program will start in some minutes time.
"Do you want me to kiss you?" Daniel teasingly pulled her by the waist and leaned in to her lips.
"Wait!" Lina struggled to free herself from his clutches, her attempts proved futile. But her actions did something to her culprit.
Daniel got trapped in his own deed. He had only wanted to tease the girl, but due to her unconscious actions, his plans backfired right at him !
" What did you want to talk to me about ?Tell me."
"I...I..wanted to..." Lina felt her ears turning hot. She didn't know how to continue her sentence. 'What if someone see them in this position?'
" Can you let go of me first? I can't continue in this position." She spoke while trying to hide her red cheeks
Daniel sneered within 'Do you think I want to talk in this position ?! What should I do if ....' he looked down at his junior brother who was reacting on his own.
He will never let her see his reaction !
" Will you ?" Lina asked when she didn't hear or see anything. Also, she was beginning to feel uncomfortable. Something hard was poking her stomach.
She could probably guess what it was looking at how ambiguous they stood.
What she couldn't understand was WHY something like that was happening at that moment !
" Can it wait ?"
"What ?" Lina asked confused
" What you want to tell me"
"O..okay" Lina nodes. She was actually glad he proposed it. She couldn't even remember what she had rehearsed earlier that evening.
"Good ,then see you at the party "He lightly patted her head, redrew his hand holding her waist and turned around to continue climbing the stairs
"You will get tired taking all these stairs in your high heels" he spoke as he went on, he didn't even turn to look at her
Lina chuckled and pouted 'Won't he also get tired from taking all these stairs ?!'
'But, what really happened just now ?Did he ....?'
By the time Daniel got to the room, he looked worn out and was soaking with sweat. He tossed his phone and watch on the bed and entered the bathroom.
He turned on the shower and stood under it. He just stood allowing the cold water to fall on him.
"Do you want me to cancel the program ? There's no need for the party if you aren't going !" Emil shouted as he looked at the time. He didn't understand why his brother was still stuck in the bathroom after twenty whole minutes !
" Shut up !" Daniel screamed from inside the bathroom
" One minute, or cancel"
"....."
" Fifty nine, fifty four, fifty three,..." Emil looked at the bathroom door and chuckled
' What's really going on with his brother ?' he wondered
" Thirty one, thirty,..... twenty, nineteen, eighteen,..."
"Won't you ever shut up?" Daniel emerged with a bathrobe on, he had a towel in his hand which he was drying his hair with.
" You should have wait for me to finish my last three count. I would have shut up then !" Emil stood up and entered the bathroom, he came out seconds later with a hand drier and strode to Daniel.
"What happened ?, You even showered with your clothes on" He plugged the drier and pulled Daniel to seat.
" I badly needed cold shower, that's all" Daniel simply answered. He couldn't bring himself to tell his brother what had actually happened to him. His brother will laugh at him. That, he was sure of !
Emil chuckled with his lips twitched "Cold bath? Were you with Lina ?"
" Mmm"
" hahahahha"
Emil's burst of laughter brought Daniel to realisation. His brother has trick him !
"Go away" Daniel snatched the drier from Emil as he spoke
" But am not done yet"
" Who need you to dry his hair! Don't I have hands ?!"
Emil chuckled and strode to the bathroom.
"I said nothing happened !" Lina who had been bombarded with question after question right after she entered the room screamed for the hundredth time.
She didn't get why Yvonne was repeated asking the same question.
" Were you able to talk to him? ,What did he say ?, What happened after that ?" These questions had sounded repeatedly and she, Lina had answered like a broken record !
"Then why were you blushing when you came in ?"
" Can't I blush on my own? Is that forbidden ?!"
" If nothing happened, then why are you being so offensive? " Yvonne raised her brows and smiled knowingly
" Offensive? Who ? Me ?" Lina asked as she placed her hand on her chest
"Look, your ears are even betraying you" Yvonne touched Lina's ears and teased
"Shut up !" Lina screamed and run to the bathroom.
'I need to check what happened to my ears'
But, as she stood in front of the mirror,she saw nothing. Yvonne had tricked her !
The doorbell ruined Yvonne's good mood, she walked to the door and opened. She was surprise to see the same makeup artist who did their makeups earlier on that evening standing at the door with her assistant.
"You ?"
" Yes ,me. Can we come in ?"
" What for "
" To do retouch for you girls "
Yvonne stood aside and allowed them to enter. For the second time that evening, their makeups were done.
Although she said retouch,it was a lie because their makeups were done differently from the first one.
But one thing between the two makeup was in common, and that's the simplicity of their makeup. It was simply done.
