Chereads / Till Our Worlds Collide / Chapter 16 - A DATE?

Chapter 16 - A DATE?

"Spill some tea, Celestina!" I groaned in annoyance because of them. They kept bothering me to death, forcing me to tell them what I and Lianno talked about earlier.

I shake my head to tease them. Of course, I would tell them that.

They both groaned in disappointment. I laughed at their cute reactions. They're such a baby. They got up from where are they seated and were about to leave when I suddenly spoke.

"Lianno, Invited me to go out tomorrow" I whispered. I guessed they heard it since they quickly turn their heads on my direction, with their eyes wide open and mouths hanging.

"WHAT!" they both shouted at loud that I had to cover my ears just for me to protect my ears.

I glared at them and they both peace signed me. They quickly run to me and bombarded me with a lot of questions.

"What did the prince say!?"

"How did he say it!"

"What happened to you two!?"

"Why did he invite you!?"

"Hey! Stop!" I whined.

"I'll keep the details," I said to them. They pouted by what I said but eventually accepted my decision.

They left me when they got called to help in the kitchen. I am left alone now without anything to do. My eyes roaming around the large room. Hmmm… What should I do now? I asked myself.

Should I read a book? But I'm lazy to do that now. Should I clean this room? I looked around, but it is still clean. Oof… too many reasons, I just need to say that I'm lazy right now.

I groaned and jump right in the bed, thinking about what to do next after I confirmed that I'm being lazy today. I remember, Isabela bought me Art Materials yesterday.

I got up after lying down for about an hour. Fixing my space and gathering all the things that I needed for my painting. Acrylic paints, paintbrushes, canvas, artist palette, and a glass of water for cleaning the brushes. I sat down on the carpeted floor, tying my hair into a messy ponytail.

A tranquil lake scene, showing 2 dolphins in the middle. I smiled at that thought. I started painting the background first. I had a problem matching and blending the colors. I couldn't decide what to put on the canvas. Midnight blue, Bleu de France, ocean blue, and orchid purple for the background.

"What are you doing, Celestina?" I got startled when I suddenly heard Jea's voice not so far away from where I am.

"You shocked me, Jea!" I informed her.

"I didn't know you're easily scared, Celestina" She laughed at me.

"I'm not" I strongly denied, waving my hands in mid-air.

"Oh, really" She teased me. I made a face then we both laugh.

"Why are you guys having fun, without me?" Isabela entered with a pout in her face.

Jea and I both looked at each other and communicate through our eyes. When we both understand what each other is saying. We proceed to make the plan, both of us hiding a smirk in our face.

We ignored Isabela and quietly continue what we were doing. I peacefully continued what I am doing, while Jea lies on the bed.

"Hey! Why are you ignoring me!" Isabela groaned loudly that I almost laughed because of it.

I saw Jea covering her head with a pillow and laughing silently. I bit my lip to avoid laughing. But my insides are dying from laughter already adding that I am seeing Jea having a hard time holding back her laughter.

"Hey, are you just going to ignore me" Isabela's voice is now filled with sadness.

I give a dead glare to Jea. I know that she saw it because she suddenly stops laughing and is sitting straightly now in bed. I swallowed first before speaking.

"Isabela" I called her, showing a poker face.

I saw her getting nervous and swallowing hard before looking directly at my eyes.

"W-What is it?" She stuttered.

F*ck, I needed to have a poker face, I reminded myself. I looked at Jea who is currently trying her best to surpass the laughter building inside her.

"What did you do?" I asked her.

She looked shocked by what I say. Not being able to contain my laughter. I and Jea suddenly burst out laughing making Isabela confused.

She looked at us strangely.

"We are just joking you, Isabela," Jea said still laughing hard.

I hold my stomach while laughing hard. Tears starting to form in my eyes because of too much laughing.

I saw her took a deep breath and sighed. I haven't finished the painting which I was doing because of that.

"Jea, Isabela, What should I wear?" I'm panicking while saying those words to them.

Today is the day where Lianno invited me to go out. Jacob came here earlier saying that in about an hour Lianno and I will leave already. It was weird for me that Jacob is avoided me. He couldn't even look at me directly earlier. Maybe he realized that what he did in the past is not right, but I already forgive him so it's nothing for me now.

"Try this, Celestina" Jea is showing me a white box pleated skirt.

"What will I pair with this one?" I asked them.

They're currently searching my closet, trying to find clothes that will match with this.

"This one" Isabela gave me a black short sleeve chiffon blouse to match the skirt.

I quickly wear it inside the bathroom and a black gladiator as well.

"Celestina, come here quickly!" Isabela shouted.

"Coming!" I shouted back.

They start putting makeup on my face and fixing my hair into a Half French Braid Ponytail.

We are almost finished when we heard a knock on the door.

"I'll get it," Jea said

I nodded at her words. She opened the door letting 2 bodyguards come inside.

" Lady Celestina, Prince Lianno is already waiting outside" They bowed their heads before saying me those words.

I look at Isabela and Jea they both nodded cheering me silently.

I took a deep breath and stood up from where I am seated
