ROBBIE'S POV
When Kristy and I arrived home, it was already noon. And as I opened the door, I saw Amber wearing my mother's clothing while swiping the floor, happily humming a song. Noticing the newly opened door, Amber glanced in our direction.
Immediately her eyes lit up and her lips turned up, showing a bright smile.
"Welcome back Robbie!" she said with a cheery tone.
"Ah! You must be Kristy" she added as she placed the broom in the side.
Walking closer, Amber crouched in front of Kristy to level with her, "It is very nice to finally meet you" she greeted, her smile not fading from her sweet face.
"U-uh… Y-yes, I'm Kristy and I'm very happy to meet you" Kristy held my hand tighter. Biting her lower lips her face grow warmer, lighting up with a subtle shade of red.
"It's alright Kristy, there is no reason to be shy" I told her while squeezing her hand a little, in order to provide comfort.
"This is Big Sister Amber and she will be living here from now on" I add.
Amber let out a giggle, "I understand that you are not used to me yet, but we will have plenty of time to become closer to each other" she told Kristy reassuringly, while Kristy just nodded timidly.
What's the matter with her? When she first met Rachelle she was cheery and bubbly but with Amber, she's so shy and hardly answering.
I looked at Amber to see if she's offended in any way, however, she only smiled at me.
"Alright! What about I serve some tea?" she stated as she stood up abruptly, her smile still painted on her beautiful face.
"That will be wonderful" I replied as the three of us walked towards the table.
RACHELLE'S POV
I lay comfortably in the soft sheets of the bed while I look straight ahead in the ceiling. After Robbie and Kristy left Alexander went straight to the cellar, locking himself away. He just became cold and distant all of a sudden, I wonder what is he thinking right now? Does he… think of me? Even just briefly.
Feeling the heat on my cheeks, I immediately pat them lightly. Com on Rachelle get it together.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Yes?" I responded.
"It's Andrea Miss, I came to bring some tea. Just as the Master instructed" she stated with her monotone voice. Instantly my face lit up in a hundred shades of red, my face feels warm and my insides seemed to be dancing wildly.
"C-come in" is my stuttered reply, which made my blush even brighter.
Walking in, Andrea held a tray: containing a pot of tea, a sandwich, some pastry, and a bunch of flowers.
"What is that?" I asked curiously as Andrea placed the tray on the bedside table.
"They are moss roses Miss" she replied.
"I was told to bring it along with the tea, shall I remove them?" she continued.
"N-no, it's alright" I quickly replied, moss rose huh… I wonder what they mean.
"Andrea, do we have different kinds of dictionaries in the library?" I asked.
For a quick moment, there was a sudden glint of light in her eyes. It happened really quickly that I almost missed it.
"Yes we do, should I fetch one for you?" Andrea looked at me, waiting for a response.
"It's alright, just tell me where to find them and I'll search for one I need myself" I quickly replied.
"I understand, they should be on the left shelf, under the letter 'F' section since the books are arranged alphabetically" she responded while I only nodded in recognition.
"Is that all, Miss?" she asked.
"Oh! Yes, yes that's all. Thank you" I replied almost flabbergasted.
"I'll take my leave now. Miss if you'll excuse me" she stated before exiting the room.
I reached for the flower that Alexander sent me and with a smile in brought them close to my chest.
Maybe I was wrong, he wasn't being cold.
I was just overthinking.
I raised the flowers close to my nose and closing my eyes, I took a quick sniff.
The scent of sweet roses in the early summer filled my senses.
As if the season had blessed me with a kiss.
ANDREA'S POV
Entering the kitchen door, I was immediately greeted by Sofia and Hannah. Both are excited and anxious for the news.
I stayed in silence to build up their eagerness.
"Well? What happened?" Hannah asked almost impatiently.
I released a single sigh and both of them seemed to feel disappointed.
"She liked it" I said and the duo immediately lit up.
"If only you saw the blush on her face" I continued while they giggled in response.
"We should tell the Master" Sofia exclaimed and despite of the doll's feature, I can see the huge smile on her face. It may be true that humans can't see pass out dull expressions but it is different between the four of us. Alexander and the three of us can see through the glassy eyes and expressionless features of our vessels.
"Whoa! Calm down, I'll do it myself" I quickly replied.
"Andrea" and as always Hannah caught on too quickly.
"What did you do?" she continued.
"W-well…" I was at a loss for words.
"He didn't send those flowers, did he?" I was caught red-handed.
"W-well…he will eventually. He already told me how feels! I'm just speeding up the process, he already wasted so many opportunities. It's time for me to push some buttons and pull some ropes" I responded.
"Yeah, but… what if this messes things up. If Rachelle found out that you had been setting the stage" Ah! Sofia as always is too scared.
"I may be manipulating the story a little but their feelings remain. It the end of it all they still love each other or do you prefer Alexander to be alone for eternity?" both of them shook their heads, once again it's a win for me.
With my pride rising in my chest, I can feel it. Soon I can bring those two together.
Now, I just need to arrange a date.
Maybe a lunch in the grassy field, I can ask for some help from Fidlon. He can definitely recruit some pixie to help as well.
Or a dinner under the moonlight, if I remember correctly there are some special flowers in the nursery that will soon bloom.
Ah! I can already visualize it, Alexander and Rachelle, in the sunset hand in hand.
Slowly, he will close the gap between their faces. Inching closer and closer their lips will connect with one another.
My porcelain doll face seemed warmed up by the thought of it, ah! Nothing is better than bringing people together.
WAHAHAHA… just a little longer.
"Andrea?"
"Andrea!"
I was snap back into reality.
Turning to Hannah, she was holding another tray.
"These are for Fidlon and the Master, you should take it to the cellar before Alexander started becoming cranky. You know how he values tea time." Hannah sternly stated.
"Alright" I replied with a pout.
Taking the tray from Hannah, I exited the kitchen to make my way towards the cellar.
