"sorry?" having his hand stopped in midway, and being stared like he is a criminal really made him uncomfortable
"are you her close friend? a relatives or just an acquaintance?" Carleon knew it's not good to question a person who he just met especially with his situation now with Carmilla
"he is my boy best friend, he is not from here" Carmilla took Joshua's hand from Carleon
"oh, sorry" Carleon said shortly but he still looking straight to Joshua as if he is confirming something.
"well its okay, and you are?" Carmilla was looking at Joshua when she heard he asked this question to Carleon, she even single raised her eyebrow ' he knew what he does'
"I'm her guardian" His focus was not on the person who asked him but to their phone who simultaneously rang together which indicate its either they in a same group or they received broadcasted message from the same person.
Carmilla was sipping her drink when Carleon said that and she accidently spilled her drink.
"oh I see, Apple did your mother remarried?"
" I need to ask my mother too for confirmation"
Lily couldn't stay still any longer she need to show her existance there, they treat her like she is invisible.
"oh hi, I'm Carleon's girlfriend" Joshua look at Carmilla and they are vise versa
"oh hi" he simply greet her and not even took a second look
'how could she even get another handsome boy, he even look familiar. as long as it not Carleon than its okay, Who else can be richer the Whistlestone family' if Carleon can hear her bottom heart voice, he wouldn't think twice to leave her.
in the end, both parties went to double date
while the Marritsa and the whistlestone family walk ahead of them, Carmilla whispered to Joshua
"shushu look at her, ain't she felt ashamed to hug his arm, he don't even show a single reaction"
"just look at how her overreacting, eww It's so ridiculous"
"let's detour I don't want to be on the same place with her" since Joshua is taller than her each time she whisper something he have to bow a bit and she have to stand oh her toes and it seems as if she is hugging him.
they didn't know the pair in front of them already stopped and and looking at their 'sweet' behaviour. on their point of view both of Joshua and Carmilla was like they are having a funny and interesting topic to share.
