Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: We’re Couple

Frizabelle

Tuesday – Night

"CERES! I SAID STOP IT!" I shouted at her while she's teasing me by being clingy which she just giggled at. I'm irritated though.

"Ceres, I must clean up. Look at my room, it's in chaos. I won't be able to finish if you WON'T STOP CLINGING ON ME!!" I told her with my pissed tone that made her even more held me tighter as she chuckled then kissed my cheek before letting go.

"Okay, I'll cook your favorite meal then." Ceres said as she chuckled then left my room all by myself.

"Seriously, not helping me here. Great." I shouted which made her only laugh along the hallway.

I sighed then went back cleaning my room while she did whatever she wanted to do at the kitchen. As for me, I just cleaned up my chaotic room which was my fault. I groaned from the mess that I did.

8 pm

I was almost done cleaning up apart from those scratches that I made on the wall. It was a bit showy, it was indeed mad and overconfident to be a showy scratch which I need some new paints or wallpaper to hide it.

"Well paintings can do the trick also." I told myself while I was looking at the huge scratch on the wall that was facing at the end of my bed.

I was thinking of what kind of painting I should put to hide that huge scratch when I heard Ceres' voice in my thoughts.

'Belle, come down here and eat first.'

As I heard that from Ceres, I jolted since I'm still not used to it but soon, I guess. But as if on cue, my stomach began to react to her message which made me realize that I almost skipped my dinner again.

"How can you tell I'm hungry?" I asked through our link again.

'You're my mate.'

When she replied that to me, I found myself smiling as I walked down the staircase. As I was getting closer at the kitchen, I could hear those laughters again but this time there was some singing voice which I'm totally familiar with. Ceres was singing to them which made me smile as I leaned at the hallway frame and they were singing a song entitled If I Was The One by Luther Vandros.

I see the way he treats you

I feel the tears you cry

And it makes me sad and it makes me mad

There's nothin' I can do, baby

Avery sang the first stanza of the song which something in me began to twitch like I was being hit by lines of the lyrics in the song.

Your lover is my best friend

And I guess that's where the story ends

So I've gotta try to keep it inside

You'll never be, never be mine

Then the next stanza was sung by Yume which added the fuel that was stirring up within me since it's the thing that I'm still fully in control over it. Jealousy.

But if I was the one who was loving you, baby

The only tears you'd cry would be tears of joy

And if I was by your side

You'd never know one lonely night

If it was my arms you were running to

I'd give you love in there arms of mine

If I was the one in your life.

Avery and Yume sang together as they danced along with Ceres in a jazz movement which seriously made me - I mean, Lena and I were being put at the edge just watching and listening to them sing till Ceres finally sang the bridge part of the song.

I want to reach out and feel you beside me,

Right here, right now , right beside me baby,

And take you in my arms right now

And scream I love you right out loud

And then someday I'll pray

I'll find the strength to turn to you and say.

When I heard Ceres sing, my heart felt warm but as those two kept touching, dancing and singing with her really made my mood really sour already. I was totally jealous of them even though they were just having fun singing and dancing as they entertained our dinner. But my irritation was getting best out of me a little bit, that's for sure. I made myself be noticed as I stepped in then sat on my seat then slammed my hand on the table to cut their entertainment. I smiled at them but they were just looking at me in shock because yes, I was smiling but I'm pissed at what I'm seeing now.

"So, where's my meal, Chef?" I asked with my mocking voice which Ceres chuckled then served a hot meal to me.

Perfect as always then she took something from the ref and gave it to me. Oh! My chocolate mint. Sweet! I looked at her then smiled as my gratitude then ate my meal like I was starving for years.

In an instant, I was done and they were watching me in awe. I looked at them in 'what' gesture since I just inhaled my food that Ceres made. Ceres chuckled as she cleaned up my plate while I kept drinking my chocolate mint but I suddenly spilled it out as Avery and Yume whispered something to Ceres and they were close to her – I mean CLOSER. Meaning, their hands wrapped around her waist and it's making me really pissed off. I'm indeed acting like a possessive girlfriend as I watched them act like that in front of me. I tried not to growl over it which I really did good, well, apart from Lena. Lena growled within my thoughts which alarmed Ceres since she was looking surprised at me.

"What?!" I asked her with my usual irritated voice.

"Oh, nothing. I just thought I heard Lena growled." She truthfully replied and I can tell that she was indeed worried over Lena's growled.

"Maybe you're hallucinating." I told her but she just nodded then went back on cleaning the dishes while the two girls were still lurking around her. Laughing with her.

Seeing that, really made me at the edge which made me gritted my teeth and glared at them not minding the boys including Mom watching my reactions. I knew that they were holding their laugh over it but I'm too focused on the thing that was happening in front of me. When Ceres was done cleaning up the dishes, something came in to me and did something that surprised everyone including myself. I immediately stood up and rashly went to them so I could snatched Ceres who was just laughing in the middle. I took her wrist and dragged her with me but I stopped on my track when I heard Yume and Avery upset sighed which made me glared at them - well not just glare, a deathly glared to be exactly

"Don't even try to take what's mine. Understood!" I used my authority voice which made both of them not just whimpered but cowered. The boys and my mother bursted into laughter at what I just did but I was hot.

Ceres caressed my shoulder which calmed and made me realize what I just did. I smacked my forehead since I was surprised at what I just did to them. I felt some familiar arms snaked around my waist before she gave me a kiss on the side of my head as she giggled next to my ear.

"I was their bait to tease you and it worked." She confessed that everything was just a play but I know what I felt over Avery.

She's a vampire, a newbie under the watch of Ceres but her eyes toward my mate weren't just apprentice and master thing but more. This time I growled with Lena that snapped them from laughing as I glared at Avery. Avery looked shocked but her eyes told me something else that she admired and adored Ceres to the point she wanted her to be her soul mate. As I read her, I was definitely in my worst state that made Ceres snapped.

"BELLE! Avery likes me as a sister not as a lover!" Ceres defended her but I wasn't calming, take note I just went through changing from sane to insane to sane again.

"DON'T FORGET WHAT HAPPENED TO ME EARLIER. DON'T THINK IT WAS EASY FOR ME TO CONTROL MY TEMPER SINCE IT HAPPENED!" I snapped at her as my wolf Lena took over me.

Ceres sighed as she forced me to face her and when our eyes met, I was fighting the urge to be submissive to her which made me put such distance between us. Her gaze never left mine which was daring me which I faced head on but there was something in her look to me this time. She was not forcing me to believe that Avery was just like her sister but she was showing me how much I meant to her. I sighed as I gave up since she was totally sincere about what she was showing me through her moonlight eyes. But the next thing that I felt was her soft and kissable lips landed on mine which seriously took me by surprise but it calmed me as well. As Ceres' lips parted mine, she smiled at me that made me sighed then flicked my middle finger on her forehead. My head was down in front of her as I did it because I was embarrassed as I blushed to what she did. My old self would be mad at it but now, I didn't.

"You're cute when you blush." Ceres teased me that made them squeals.

"Stupid." I just said as I let go everything on my shoulder then rested my head on her chest that made her hugged me.

I can feel the cold-warm hug from her arms that relaxed me big time, also I can tell that the others who were watching us were in awe and squealing to our sweetness. To tell you this, I don't like too much sweets, so I pushed her away and went back to my room in a rush.

'So, are we a couple now?'

When she asked me that through our link, I suddenly stopped in the middle of the hallway on the second floor toward my room. I was caught off guard and my heart was beating so hard like it was being hammered by a sledgehammer again. I can't breathe from the sudden question.

'You already knew the answer to that.'

As I heard Lena whisper it in my head, I shook my head then went straight inside my room and jumped onto my bed. I kept rolling onto my bed as I thought of what Ceres left repeating inside my mind which made me groan from thinking about it too much. But I was cut off from my thinking when I heard a familiar giggle and a person who possessed an irritating scent for my nose. I looked at my door frame and Ceres was standing there, fascinated about me having a deep thought about what she just asked me earlier.

"Don't force yourself. I can wait." Ceres said as she entered the room then locked the door behind her.

I looked down on my crumpled bed sheets and when I felt some warm breath in front of me, I looked at Ceres steady gaze and I was mesmerized by it.

"I love it." I whispered that made her giggled then kissed my forehead.

"Continue cleaning up tomorrow, I'll help you after my shift at school." Ceres told me as she went back to the door to leave me alone in my room.

"Where are you going?" I immediately asked which made her halt.

"Music room…" she replied, which I nodded with upset feelings weighing inside me. Then I suddenly felt a tiny blow of air pop in front of me and there, I felt her arms wrapped around my waist, tightly.

"Say it. Just name it. As long as I can do it, I will for you." She sincerely said while hugging me that made me cry and hugged her in return.

"Don't leave me. Stay with me." I whimpered on her embrace which she chuckled then we fell down together on the bed that made me squealed a little.

Ceres and I giggled over it but I snuggled myself even more closer to her since I really do feel security and safety with her. I closed my arms as she could hear her hymned some random melody which led me into my peaceful but dreamless sleep.

I love you, Ceres.

Ceres

As I hugged within my arms, I never expected for her to say it verbally that she doesn't want me to leave her. I know that I would do it over and over again in every timeline we would meet, well, only if we died though. Anyway, when she closed her eyes as she felt the safeties and securities within my embrace that made her slowly drift to sleep. But without her noticing, I heard her thoughts saying the words I longed to hear and it played to my ears to my soul down to my heart what she said.

"I love you too, Frizabelle. My queen." I whispered then I peck her forehead then closed my eyes to sleep next to her.
