She increased her pace as if she was being chased by an invincible person. But she decreased the grease in her steps when she saw Beebah standing, staring at something or maybe someone.
This thought alone made Mira boil with anger. " Wait, why am i angry?. I shouldn't be mad". Reasoned Mira within her.
With slow steady steps she walked towards Beebah. This time she didn't hurry with her steps instead she took her steps with care like a royal would. And on cue Beebah turned her head to the intruder for intruding in her spying moment.
She flashed Mira her favourite look, " the death glare" of course which Mira would never get tired of.
And Mira being the annoying girl she is acted as if Beebah never existed, as though she passing by casually and nobody was around.
" What do you want?!". She heard Beebah questioned, and she.. she raised her hands up as an answer,. Shunning Beebah.
This really pained Beebah, she can't wait to get rid of this pest. She thought while staring at Mira, who pivoted her head gingerly to the scene which drew the attention of her nemesis.
But then all words got stuck in her throat with what she saw before her.
At first Mira thought Beebah was out here spying and salivating over Zamiel but she didn't expect this to see Zamiel here with a girl boy who looks nothing but a perfect picture for a model.
The man sat there, facing Zamiel with his, sitting beside him and he was. He was holding both of Zamiel's cheeks, leaning forward as if requesting for a kiss.
***********************************
They both turned their head as if being caught red handed in something bad. And the expression on both of their faces changed. They had different expression written on their face
Zamiel's was a bashful one while Ramon's expression was the mischievous.one.
" Hmmm hmm". Zamiel cleared his throat, pushing Ramon off of him. " You are here.. he quickly stood up walking towards Mira. But his plans of wiping off the awkward situation wasn't gonna rub off easily because there was an extra ordinary annoying person who would always stick around him a leech.
" It an honor meeting to meet you your highness". He said bowing slightly in front of both Zamiel and Mira.
" The pleasure is mine". Replied Mira.
" Sorry to be rude, .. she heard the handsome man said.
" I'm pretty sure Zamiel hasn't tell you about me has he?". Ramon added flashing Mira his perfect set of white teeth.
" Not one that I remember". She politely answered feeling awkward with the conversation, which she's sure might take hours before it ended.
Made her remember anancient Korean movies she usually watch. It takes hours before royal or eligible people's conversation ends..
She remembered the time a princess once tried to dismiss such conversation politely, and that's the exact method she was going to use.
" Uhmm, There's something that needs my attention, if you don't mind?". She said flashing her signatory smile at the end of her sentence.
" Sure, of course, i wouldn't want to take your time". He replied once again planting a kiss at the back of her palm.
" Excuse me". She breathed out in a polite tone in order not to recieve a wrong impression.
She turned around about to walk away but she suddenly whipped her head back staring at the space she was standing on a few seconds ago.
" What's wrong?". Asked Zamiel who was about to follow suit but then saw Mira reacted oddly to something or someone maybe. Which didn't look like it was good news.
" It nothing". She answered softly as if it was nothing important. She smiled at him with her Bright sparkling brown eyes . Proceeding with her steps.
As soon as the couples left the jolly man's expression quickly changed into it's opposite.
" Come out.. he spoke coldly. Don't let me repeat myself". He muttered sounding upset.
And with that line alone somebody emerged from the dark and as the person's footsteps got closer, so did it identity got revealed by the candle's light that was lit everywhere.
" You don't need to raise your voice, I'm not deaf you know". The anonymous person sneered.
The anonymous person was none other than Beebah.
" Im aware. Just thought it didn't suit mingling with the dark". Ramon also receiving a hard glare from Beebah. He chuckled at her reaction. His expression suddenly turned fierce, fiercer than Beebah's, and so did his voice when he spoke.
". " It'd be better for all of us if you don't act stupid and dump your feelings in a gutter". He said walking away from her when he suddenly put a pause to his footsteps.
"I'll advise you not to ruin this for us. Besides this won't last forever". He smirked at the end before he left leaving Beebah all alone.
******
Mira felt awkward than ever. She thought escaping from the man was something, but she being alone in the room with Zamiel was much worse.
After all the apologising and forgiveness that went this evening she doesn't even know how to react now that they are alone.
Her attention was drawn back by the sounds coming from no one but Zamiel. He just came out from the board like dressing room. He just had his bath so his hair looks wet and silky.
She stared at him as he made his way towards her, scrubbing his scalp with a towel.
And Mira with just this simple gesture. She felt her her throat squeeze as she gulp her spit down her dried throat. She at his ocean blue eyes drowning into it she felt as if she was sinking in a real life ocean.
" Would you like to take a stroll"
, she heard him ask her and she reversed all her attention to Zamiel with this one question, staring at his ocean blue eyes.
" Sure I'd love to". She replied breaking her gaze off his eyes.
He stretched forth his hands in order to help her get off the bed that she was sitting on. It took her a while to accept his hand which was still outstretched.
***********
Mira felt her next breath get stuck in her with just the simple gesture from Zamiel. And once again, she couldn't help but be mesmerized by the hypnotic ocean blue eyes of his.
" Sure". She breathed the reply with difficulty, almost gasping for air, due to her holding her breath for too long.
But she didn't reveal any of her internal feelings outside.
" Okay, then let's leave". She said this as soon as she was pulled up by Zamiel. She actually said it to escape the awkward feeling, rising within her and also maybe between them. She quickly walked ahead of him. She exited the door before him, which left Zamiel in a position to lock the door to their room.
As soon as they both got downstairs, they were welcomed by a presence they both weren't expecting. Mira tried to dodge him but it was too late, because Ramon already sighted them before they did.
" Your highness..." He said walking up to them, where they are.
" Well good evening to you too Mr?". She greeted flashing her charming smile which she was now used to doing.
" Oh how forgetful of me". He hits his forehead with his palm acting all dramatic. " Ramon Avi. We don't need those formal greetings, we just met some hours ago didn't we?". (He was talking about Mira greetings.). Ramon blabbered rhetorically, now standing in front of the couple which obviously makes him the third wheel. Which he himself isn't oblivious to.
Mira smiled, once again at the kind man's word. She's pretty sure if she last any longer in this world, she might.. she'd end up with a broken jaw due to all the unnecessary smile she's been putting on.
" Well.....She heard him say, switching her attention back to him. Wow!,. She thought he was done for the day... Since you're not busy anymore. I'm pretty sure you can lend me your precious time.
" I'd love to, but as you can see. I'm on my way to to do something". She replied trying to chase away the annoying man, which she's sure is now becoming a pest.
" Oh, i see....The annoying man replied, scrutinizing the couple, as if he caught something he didn't realize before.
" I'm sorry, if I'm intruding in your private moments. You guys can GI ahead without me. " He spoke like a pressuring mother.
(" As if we'd invite you"). Thought Mira to herself. She was still smiling today keep up her act.
" Okay then, I'll have my leave. You both should enjoy your time". He winked before walking away.
Mira watched as he walked away, covering his mouth as if to stop something from spilling from his mouth, giggling like a gossip. Mostly what girls does.
Mira couldn't help but but smile at his girly attitude. This time for real, the smile came naturally on her face. She smiled rotating head like a standing fan till Ramon mixed up with the people around, before she brought her attention back to where she was.
