Chereads / Till Our Worlds Collide / Chapter 31 - FALLING HARD

Chapter 31 - FALLING HARD

"Celestina!" An abrupt shout startled me. 

I look at Jea, who is half-running on her way here. I am seated at the end side of my bed, sketching a figure that I haven't thought of yet. I just let my hand do the work without thinking anything.

"Why are you shouting?" I asked her confused when she can just say it in front of me.

"You need to fix yourself now!" She said in a panic, going to my dresser and looking for clothes that I don't know what is used for.

"Why?" I ask standing up from seating and going to her who is busy looking for clothes for me, I think?

"The prince asked for you earlier." 

"What about it?" I asked her again, without knowing anything.

He glared at her eyes "Lianno wants you to go with him to the farm" Her words dropped like a bomb as my brain slowly understand what she said.

"What!" I shouted now helping her.

In the end, we decided to go on with a Black Crop top, High waisted jeans, and some ankle boots to match with the clothes that we picked. I directly went to the bathroom to bathe, not minding Isabela when she called me again. 

I took a bath at a lightning speed, going out with my robe on just to get the clothes that Isabela is trying to give me earlier but I ignored her. 

I went to the bathroom again just to put on the clothes that I will be wearing. I tucked in the T-shirt inside the jeans. I wonder, how can they tell my size? I don't remember them measuring the length and width of my body.

I wore a black watch, having a golden lining around it. The glass top showing the two arrows moving circular is bulging out showing the seamless side of it. 

I sat in front of my dresser, Isabela is behind me, combing my wet hair. She used a blow dryer just to dry it, for her to style my hair easier. She put it in a high ponytail, leaving a few pieces of hair on the side. 

"Have this" She gave me a black retro shoulder bag. 

The bag is quite heavy, that's why I opened it up and look at what is inside. My brows furrowed, when I saw things that are not essential on where am I going to. Makeups, a wooden comb, perfumes, what is the use of this?

"Why do I have this?" I asked her, glaring. 

"You'll need that hehehe" She answered, fast-paced walking outside. 

I looked in the mirror for the last time, and sat on the couch afterward, preparing myself once Lianno finally calls me.

"Celestina!" That's my cue to finally go out of the room. In there I saw Lianno, standing formally on the side, wearing a pair of jeans and a maroon T-shirt casually. 

"Hi," I greeted him when he saw me, but my mood instantly changed when I saw him just nodding at my approach. 

I pouted my lips as I followed him walking, waving my hands at Isabela as a goodbye. We went outside. The palace can be seen here, the black flags with 3 golden roses in the middle are placed on the top of every tower.

So they have their own flag too. I wonder, why everything related to the palace has a rose embroidery on them. Does that have importance or had a specific meaning in their place?

I went inside the car, sitting on the passenger seat while Lianno makes a turn, and went to the driver's seat. He starts to steer the wheel, maneuvering the car.

My jaw almost dropped when I saw the land, my eyes couldn't even see the end of it. I followed Lianno's step, entering a huge gate. My eyes wander around, there are currently no people in the place where walking on.

"Lianno, why can't I see your people?" I asked him, confused by what I'm seeing. 

But my thoughts stopped when we went to a dark tunnel behind a tree, Lianno pushing the wooden door revealing the amusing land.

The people in unison stopped what they are doing and bowed their heads at our directions. Old people, young, girls, guys, and kids are everywhere. People on the older side are carrying a basket filled with either fruits or vegetables. While the young ones are helping their parents to harvest the crops.

There are small houses on every side, these must be their houses. They have a huge waiting area on the side. A guy named Smith guided us there. He definitely has the same age as Lianno, but their way of living is clearly different.

Smith has dark hair, a tanned skin due to the sun's effect while they are working. He is wearing a rusty white long-sleeved shirt to protect their skin from the heat of the sun. Paring it up with baggy jeans and a straw hat placed on their heads.

"Please be careful, your highness." Smith reminded us when we got close to the place. The waiting area is uphill, having an unsteady place to step on. 

There were 2 farmers behind us, making sure that we don't fall. The guards that Lianno brought together with us are outside and will just follow here once everything seems fine.

We start going up. I'm quite wobbly, the steps are uneven, making it hard for me to step on. I'm just thankful that Lianno is guiding me with every step that I make. His hands are on my back making it harder for me to walk since I'm being conscious of his touch.

We are closer now, just a few steps and we will finally reach the top. My excitement is now back to its state since the floor is much easier to step in now. We were almost at the top now when I trip over a huge rock that I didn't see.

"Aahhh!" I shouted in fear when I feel myself falling. 

But my worries fade when I felt an arm catching me from my future fall. I looked at his eyes when an emotion crossed on it, but I can't seem to figure out what's that.

"Thank you," I breathed out, my heart is still racing because of the fear I'm feeling earlier. 

I'm thankful that he catches me from my fall earlier, but will he catch me again when I fall even harder?
