The music she was playing was neither happy nor sad.
There were notes of melancholy and joy.
A bit of nostalgia.
It spoke about a love that had stayed in the past and she thought of it as a good memory that had marked her heart.
It was a song about overcoming the insurmountable and loving herself as she loved other people.
Bella even felt her heart skip a few beats.
The music was beautiful and so was Amany's voice.
When the music finally stopped, Bella let out a slight sigh and took over without any qualms. "You sing very well."
Amany smiled, compliments sounded good anytime and this one sounded sincere enough for her to believe.
It was true that they got along surprisingly well for two enemies.
It shouldn't be like that, right?!
"Thank you, I'll send you an invite when I debut."
Bella nodded and sipped some of Amany's drink.
She had the wrong glass, but now she was the one thinking about that indirect kiss.
The strawberry sweetness filled her mouth and she even gagged.
Amany immediately grabbed the two glasses and without thinking too much placed them on the piano.
She placed one of her hands on Bella's back and patted her.
"Are you well?"
Poor poor Bella coughed until she was red.
She nodded a little sheepishly, she was fine.
But now she couldn't stop coughing.
Amany smiled a little funny and wiped the lone tear that appeared on the girl's face.
"Do you want to go to the nurse at the hotel? Do you want to go to a hospital?"
Bella arched her eyebrows and coughed one last time, picked up her glass and drank from it.
"I just accidentally drank yours and choked... I'm not sick to go to the hospital."
Amany nodded and took a small handkerchief from her pocket.
She cleaned the piano.
Those water marks on the piano as beautiful and well cared for as that one bothered her.
"Then keep it that way and go to my debut concert."
Bella nodded, still a little embarrassed.
If you want me to go so badly... I will.
"I'll be there and bring you delicious ice cream."
Amany smiled, in reality she wanted to let out a loud laugh.
Why do I feel like you're trying to be nice to me? Was it not you who declared us to be natural enemies?
"You seem to want to win people over with food."
Bella rolled her eyes, she liked to gift herself or others with food, what could she do about it?!
"What else could I conquer you with?"
Amany thought briefly, she mostly wondered why Bella wanted to conquer her.
Her target should be Irina and not me.
But she wouldn't say such a thing, she wanted to see where Bella would go with that speech.
If you want to conquer me, then try.
I'm really curious to understand what makes Irina feel so mesmerized by you.
Well, not only had she noticed Bella's glares, but there was also no ignoring Irina's glares at Bella.
That kind of situation was really different and strange, she didn't know how to act.
Mainly because Irina seemed so sincere about liking her.
But what about Bella? Why do you look so scared, but you can't take your eyes off her?!
It intrigued her and a little irritated her.
But whenever she felt irritated she seemed to immediately think of Bella's eyes on her.
Strange. Now I have eyes for you too.
"I don't know, get creative... Since we're going to be spending a lot of time together in the future, would you like to have dinner with Irina and me?"
Bella drank some more of her milkshake.
She felt especially complicated.
Would Irina take this well? She always looked like she was about to run when she saw her.
"Can I? She's so afraid of me..."
Amany also thought about it, but you are going to raise a child together how can you avoid each other's presence?!
Well, it doesn't matter.
Be my guest.
"If you want, you can be my guest... We have a reservation for three hours from now."
Bella was slightly speechless and a slight blush came over her face.
She hadn't thought about having dinner with Amany and Irina, but it sounded good. Really good.
"I accept..."
Amany smiled beautifully and pointed at Bella's drink.
It seems that sharing food has become a habit.
If I've already had a sip, what difference does it make if I drink an extra dole?!
"Give me another sip, I'm thirsty."
Bella backed up slightly, her milkshake almost gone she didn't want to share.
"Hey! That's mine!"
Amany smiled, why do you care about that now?
Cute.
For a second she just nodded and continued strumming the piano.
Yes, she could understand why Irina couldn't say no to you.
You are really cute.
"I'll buy you something delicious later."
Bella didn't want to share, but suddenly an idea popped into her mind.
She took Amany's straw and placed it next to hers in her glass.
Now the cup had two straws and they could drink together.
Amany laughed and in a soft gesture brought her face close to the straw.
Bella did the same.
They were so close to each other that few centimeters separated them.
Bella could feel Amany's breathing.
Amany could smell Bella's scent.
All they thought was: how would I explain to Irina what's going on?
They didn't know it, but they didn't seem to be doing anything wrong.
But there wasn't much right either.
Amany let go of the straw for a few moments and lightly touched Bella's face.
Yes, she really was beautiful.
No wonder… Irina might like her.
She removed one of the strands that fell over her face and tucked it behind Bella's ear.
Bella looked at Amany and the smile that came up broke her, her heart skipped a beat.
She couldn't look directly at Amany.
Don't smile that way at me.
Amany drank a little more and felt satisfied.
She still had hers to finish.
But when she went to get her straw Bella stopped her.
"I want yours too..."
She picked up the two straws once more and placed it in the other glass.
Amany said nothing and turned her attention back to the piano.
She played a few more melodies and Bella watched her intently.
They shared a few more sips, but the one who really drank most of it was Bella.
Enough time had passed.
The two said goodbye, they were staying at the same hotel.
After all, there was only that hotel for the two of them.
Each returned to their respective room.
Bella excitedly went to get ready for dinner, she was filled with anticipation.
Amany, on the other hand, found a sleeping Irina.
Silently she entered the room and sat next to Irina on the bed.
She kissed her softly on the cheek and thought about what had just happened.
It wouldn't be easy to explain to Irina.
She and Bella were full of ambiguity.
She lightly scratched her head, a little confused.
She didn't know how she had gotten to that point.
I thought so much about being traded and now I have to worry about not trading you for her?! Heavens...
She sighed.
The loud sigh was enough to wake Irina up that she woke up with a beautiful smile on her face.
"Is it time to leave already?"
Amanda nodded. "Let's get ready and go to the restaurant..."
Irina nodded and lightly rubbed her eyes.
She had cried so hard her eyes were sensitive.
"…I invited Bella to come with us."
Irina looked at Amany, she didn't understand the need to invite Bella.
"..."
Amany got up and started to remove her clothes, she felt like she needed a shower.
"I think you and Bella need to get along a little better... You're going to have a baby together..."
Amany could clearly see Irina's dissatisfied face, but it's not like she was wrong or lying.
They really needed to improve that attitude.
But she wasn't being totally honest either, she wanted to see what that girl would do next to her... But mostly to see Irina next to her.
I can't feel guilt when you're in the same situation as me.
With her clothes slightly disheveled, she approached Irina.
An inviting and sexy scene.
Amany was so beautiful.
Irina wanted to help pull off all those clothes.
Amany affectionately enveloped Irina in a hug and whispered. "...Honey, I'll be with you, just trust me."
Irina gave up. The invitation was already made.
But she was right, Amany was with her.
"Alright... So let's do our best."
