Isabella went outside
"So it's left with just the two of us" Abril said
"Abril I am not in the mood for trouble"
"Funny enough I am not here for that"
They sat there for a while staring ahead and in silence
"Do you miss him?" Abril said
"Who?"
"My brother"
"I I don't know" she said and chuckled
"Your mom said I should change you"
"What do you mean" Abril asked
"She wants me to change you for the better" she laughed after saying that
"Why? Do you think it's not possible and there's no hope for me"
"No that's not it, why does she want you to change when there's nothing to change. Can't she see that behind all this naughtiness and mischief there's a guy who cares for his family and wouldn't hurt them and allow anyone else to. Abril why this pretentious behavior?" She said and he was silent
"You can be good if you want to, Abril can be hardworking and brilliant if he wants to, Abril can be the most successful person if he wants to, Abril is smart and an amazing person, Abril can be who he wants….Abril is Abril and that's it" she said and they just looked at each other
"You think highly of me"
"Truth be told I do although sometimes you act no not sometimes you are a bastard, a flirt, a womanizer, a cheater and "
"Don't add another I am still trying to get used to the ones you have tagged me with" said and she smiled
"Hey have you remembered? You called me bastard, flirt. Womanizer"
"Remembered what?" Isabella said
"Nothing" he said
They talked about a lot of things and they were laughing and smiling as if they were the closest
"Wow look at us" Abril said
"What?"
"Who would have guessed that you and I could sit and talk for hours! And even laugh together"
"Mmm I think is because I am in a good mood" Isabella said
"Tomorrow let's go back to being cat and mouse ok" Abril said
"Good night baby dream about me" he added and Isabella smiled
But indeed she did dreamt about him.
Him and her almost kissing in her dream she screamed in her dream and she kept on till Abril got into her room
"Isabella wake up it's only a dream" he said
She woke up and seeing his face close to her she screamed and slapped him
"Get away you pervert" she said and kicked him off her bed
"Hey!!! Pervert? What did I do"
"What are you doing here?"
"You were screaming, i thought something was happening to you only to realize you were dreaming. Is it wrong that I want to help you?"
"Sorry"
"What did you even dream about to get you this scared" he asked and she remembered
"None of your business, get out of my room" she said
She washed down and came downstairs to hang with the maids but Abril was already there, smiling at her when she got there
She avoided him whenever he got close
"Hey are you avoiding me"
"What?"
"You don't want me close to you"
"I never said that"
"But your actions are" Abril said and left to the drawing room to watch a movie, he saw her talking with some of the maids and she was smiling
"When I said tomorrow let's go back to being cat and mouse I didn't mean it like this" he said and sigh and watched the movie with his attention somewhere else
He sat there for a long time since they were busy doing their daily tasks
"Ooh I miss you Clara"
Meanwhile Clara was not having fun as Nathan kept on criticizing her for every little mistake
Abril was so quiet and Isabella didn't like it
"What is wrong with me? I don't want him close but I don't like him being alone and too quiet" Isabella wondered as she watched him from behind
He started playing games and pretended to be having fun
The maids were done with their jobs for the morning
"Come guys today I will tell you a story" Abril said when they started gathering around to hear another story.
Isabella kept quiet as she let him talk
As he narrated the story Isabella laughed
"That's something I would do" she said
"Do you remember now?" Abril said
He told the story of their first encounter, he couldn't stand not getting her attention and wanted to be close with her
"Maybe if she remembers me then we will be closer than ever" he thought
"Sir Abril what should we remember?" One of the maid asked
"Nothing, that's the title of the book"
"So do they meet again and fall in love" another asked
"Well I didn't finish reading that book," he said
"Well go back to your duty post" Matilda said
