"What's wrong with you?! Let go of me! " She growled at Magnus. She tried to remove the prince's grip on her but it was very strong. Astrid's wrist is already hurting because Magnus is holding her tightly.
Magnus violently let go of Astrid's hand as they entered his room. He slammed the door shut and looked at Astrid badly. Astrid also looked at him badly because of what the prince is doing.
"Why are you with them?" He dangerously asked Astrid. She stepped back because of Magnus' sudden act. Astrid is now scared. But she managed to look at Magnus straight to his eyes.
"Why do you care?" She asked back, flatly. She even rolled her eyes then looked away. Magnus frowned at Astrid''s question. He even messed his hair out of frustration. "Are you that numb?!" He asked annoyed because he could not control himself anymore. Astrid looked back at him and obviously did not like Magnus' sudden burst.
"What?! You know what? You're confusing the hell out of me! Why are you acting like this? Are you mad at me? Don't you want me here? If yes, bullshit! Neither do I! "She answered loudly. She almost chased her breath after because she shouts what she said.
Astrid is very annoyed because of Magnus' actions. "Am I not allowed to talk to them?!"
"Of course not." Magnus refused.
"Then why are you asking if why I am with them? You even drag me here! " Astrid said angrily.
"Are you flirting with Zion?" Astrid's reaction is now furious.
"What did you say?" Magnus repeated what he asked more seriously.
Magnus didn't predict on what Astrid is going to do that's why he didn't expect that he will be slapped by Astrid. He touched his cheek leaving a trace that caused a slap.
"Why did you do that?!" He madly asked to Astrid.
"Serves you right jerk! And to tell you the truth Im not flirting anyone. And why do I need to explain myself to you? Its not like you're my boyfriend."
"You're right. Im not your boyfriend. I don't have the right to act like this." He said slowly. The pain in his eyes is showing now.
"Acting like what?" Astrid asked him again.
"You don't really know? Are you that clueless? " He sighed irritably. Astrid is wondering on what Magnus is talking about.
"I don't know." She answered innocently.
"Nevermind." Magnus said to her without emotion and turned his back on her to leave the room. Astrid blinked and stared at Magnus until he disappeared from her sight.
"What's wrong with him?" She was about to leave but she noticed the room where she is. Only now did she realize that it was another room and it is the first time she entered it. The room is manly and neat. The color combination of the room is navy blue, beige, and white. It has a verenda with sliding door on it. A massive bed. And a two doors that she assumes that it's the comfort room and the walk-in closet.
"Princess Astrid? What are you doing at my brother's room? " That is Evangeline. Astrid looked at her nervously as if she had been caught in a serious sin. Evangeline looked at her in surprise from outside the door.
"Your brother left me after dragging me here." She explained. Evangeline laughed at her and approached Astrid to pull her out.
"Is dragging someone is your hobby?" Instead of answering her, Evangeline laughed at her even more. They stopped at the door that was not far from Magnus' room. Evangeline opened the door and they entered.
Astrid looked around the room and she figured out that it belongs to Evangeline because of the displayed bags and shoes on the shelves that hanged on the wall. All of the color of her furnitures are baby pink and white.
They sat on the couch but Evangeline stood up again to get something to drink and eat in her pink refrigerator. Astrid frowned because she seemed to be dazzled by Evangeline's pink room.
"So what's wrong with you and my brother?" She asked before eating the cake that she served. She even motioned for Astrid to eat.
"You're brother is weird. He got mad when he saw me with the twins! Is that bad? "
Evangeline just looked at her foolishly. Astrid, on the other hand, just got angry while eating the cake.
"You don't have any idea?" Evangeline asked her with a laugh. Astrid stopped eating and frowned when she looked at her.
"I don't know anything." She even shook her head to say that.
"Okay. What do guys feel when they see the girl they like with some other guy?" Evangeline asked to make Astrid realize why Magnus treated her like that. She drank for a while before answering.
"Jealous."
Evangeline applauded once because of Astrid's answer to her question. "Exactly!"
"But Magnus doesn't like me. He is always upset with me. " Astrid suddenly felt nervous. She is not comfortable in this kind of conversation.
"You know what? You're numb. Cant you see that my brother likes you? He is getting mad when you are hanging out with the twins instead of him! He's your mate after all. " Evangeline frustratedly explained to her but Astrid cant believe it.
"But he is not telling me that he likes me." She complained. Astrid doesn't want to believe it because she wants to hear it to Magnus.
"My brother is coward when it comes to confessing his feelings. Why don't you ask him? " Evangeline suggested. She stood up and pulled Astrid out as well. She let her out of her room and closed the door.
"Seriously?" She asked herself in confusion because Magnus and Evangeline are both weird.
"Who are you talking to?" Astrid was surprised by the presence of Magnus who was now in front of her. He doesn't look angry anymore because he is calm. Astrid then thought about what Evangeline had said earlier.
"A-are you j-jealous?" She asked with courage and was even more embarrassed by Magnus' reaction. He was surprised when Astrid asked her. But he also took a serious look afterwards.
"Yes." He answered without hesitating. Anxiety erupted in Astrid's chest because of Magnus' answer. She did not know what to do in this kind of situation.
"Why?" She asked but now Astrid is confident.
"I like you Astrid." Magnus admits to her.
