Chapter 4 - Startled Encounter

The room became so quiet that, even an ant passing by will be heard. Rama couldn't stop looking at the lady sitting opposite to her. Anytime she tried taking her eyes off, the more she wanted to look at her.

She stole another glance and looked at her when she realized her teacher wasn't paying attention to her but rather had her attention on the food infront of her.

Ivana didn't touch the food because she didn't feel like eating since she was burning up with embarrassment. She knew her highness was looking at her and she must tried not to look at those alluring eyes of hers again.

Without thinking of what to do, she stood up and excused herself and quickly left the princess and her uncle in the dining room.

She walked quickly as fast as her legs could carry her to her room. She banged the door behind her as soon as she entered her room and finally releasing the air she packed in her lungs.

"I'm freaking out already" she murmurs and went straight to the washroom. She needed something to calm her nerves down so she took off the black robe she wore and went straight to the bathtub.

She sat down slowly embracing the water all over herself. She closed her eyes then Rama's alluring eyes came flashing inside her mind.

She couldn't help but smile. She fell inlove with those eyes the moment she looked at her with it.

"How can someone be so beautiful and at the same time breathtaking" she asked herself then bit her lips so hard.

Rama's eyes alone could have these effects on her then what if she touches her one day. She imagine how soft her hands could be if she one day gets to hold them.

She opened her eyes when she heard a knock on the door. She didn't want to leave the bathtub but she had to since it might be something important they want to tell her.

"Who is it?" She asked as soon as she got close to the door but no one answered. Ivana didn't understand why the person behind the door didn't respond to her question.

"Who is there?!" She asked again but the same response. No one spoke. Ivana got irritated so she quickly opened the door.

As soon as she opened the door, someone fell on her since the person was standing close to the door when Ivana opened it.

Ivana couldn't have the time to process what happened since she didn't see that coming. Both of them laid on the floor with the other person lying on Ivana.

Ivana raised her head and too her surprise, it was no other person but the princess.

She was short of words since she wasn't expecting her to be in her room or anywhere near her room.

Rama's amber eyes look straight into Ivana's eyes as soon as she raised her head to look at her. She was confused on why she ended up in her chamber instead of hers.

Was she thinking that was her chamber?. She asked her and shook her head severally. "Your highness... You are choking me please" Ivana said bringing her back to reality.

"So what?" Rama asked her raising an eyebrow. Ivana didn't expect such response from her but she did. "Can you get off me please, you are really choking me" Ivana pleaded again.

"I see... How about this" Rama sent her head close to Ivana's neck. Ivana became stiff the moment Rama's breathe came brushing on her neck.

Those breathe sent shivers through Ivana's body making her flinched. Rama noticed her reaction and gave out a smirk. Rama seems to enjoy every bit of what she was doing without knowing what they meant.

"Pl... please, get... Off me" Ivana stammered but managed to bring those words out but that didn't stop Rama.

She rather moved her hand towards her neckline and her fingers suddenly brushed her skin sending more shivers through Ivana's body.

Ivana bit her lips so hard trying as much as she could not to show what those things were doing to her. Why will she be in such situation all of a sudden.

Ivana thought of pushing her highness away from her but she didn't dare to do so. She didn't want to raise any alarm because of her pushing her highness.

A knock landed on the door bring Rama back to herself then she realized what she was doing. She quickly got up from Ivana without trying to help her stand on her feet.

Ivana manage to get up by herself and tighten the towel she used to rubbed herself. She raised her head and saw her highness staring at her.

She noticed her eyes were fixed somewhere on her. She watched her direction and realized Rama was looking at her chest that was showing since the towel was quiet short.

The knock came back again "Ivana are you okay in there?" Uncle Zeke asked sounding worried. He didn't understand why she left them at the dinning table and came to her room.

He thought coming over to her chambers and find out why she left was the best so that explains why he came there.

"I'm coming in" he warned before opening the door but to Ivana's surprise, Rama moved close to the door and block him from entering. Ivana didn't understand why she did that so she creased her brows expecting Rama to talk but she didn't.

How can she forget her highness hardly talks. She stood there watching Rama. Rama looked at Ivana with some warning eyes trying to communicate with her but Ivana seems not to get what she meant.

"Damn... Go get dressed well" she finally spilled out. Ivana now understood the reason behind her actions by standing behind the door.

Rama didn't understand her own actions but she brushed that thought of. "Why don't you go in there and get something to cover yourself?" Rama said again raising an eyebrow.

It seems like Rama didn't want her uncle to see her in that that state and she knew she has to explain herself why she ended up in her teachers room at as that time.

Ivana came back within no time after putting on another robe while she held her hair with a ribbon. Rama couldn't help but stare at her since she looked beautiful in it but she didn't let Ivana notice her actions.

"Please, can you leave the entrance now?" She said then Rama left the door pushing her uncle so hard inside....
