Chapter 40

Celestina's POV

The party will start at exactly six o'clock in the evening and it is already five in the afternoon but we just finish dressing up. What took much of our time was the make up and hairstyles for her because the ladies had to redo it. And now, I think she is finally all set. I just hope that she would not demand for anything else.

I would be able to meet the people whose so close to my heart. They know me well and I know that if ever I do something strange, they will surely notice it. I do not even know if she knows everyone around me.

"In that case, Celestina girl, I have been in this body since you had my heart. So I got a chance to meet people whose close to you. And yes, I do know them." She has read my mind so she answers me. I stop thinking again so she could not read my mind again. I will stay quiet and just watch her interact with my friends. But their reaction seeing me in this kind of look really bothers me. I just hope they would not mind. I hope they would understand because this is my party after all. So it is normal for me to dresses up a little extra.

But what she said is better than my worry that she might guesses and make up names. That will surely be a disaster. I do not want everyone to think that I am getting insane and dumb for not knowing them. But to sum it all, my biggest worry is the fact that she might show them a bad attitude. She might not treat them nice and that is the thing I could not forgive. Mistreating people is not so me so I hope she can consider that one.

Another knock on the door interrupts us. The make up artist was the one who opened the door. Viola comes in and face us. She bows a little before starting to speak. She bowed at me and now she is being so formal to me. And I am pretty sure that it is because of what happened this morning.

"What?" she asks Viola and I can sense an impatience in her tone.

"King Zen just arrived. And he ordered me to check on you," she answers and the werewolf queen scoff with an eye roll. Knowing that Zen is already here makes me even more worried. This will be the first time I am going to see him in this condition. The last time was on church but I still have the control in my body. I am now expecting the worst thing to happen.

"Okay. Tell him I will be downstairs." Viola left when she got the answer. She also dismissed the ladies who assisted her without even saying thank you to them. How I'll-mannered was that? And she is using my body in such kind of attitude.

When we were left alone, she took a glance in the mirror for one last time then she smirks at me. We headed our way out until we reach the staircase. And there I saw Zen in his black jeans and black button down shirt. It is folded up to his elbows. He looks so dark but you can never deny the charisma that he has. He is a drop dead gorgeous and if I were a boy, I will feel envy with him. How can be someone looks so dangerous yet pleasing at the same time?

If I were the one controlling my body, I would surely stop because of the surprising realization. But since the werewolf queen has all the control in my body, I continue walking like she is not even shocked. What shocking me is the fact that Zen is holding a bouquet of red roses and even though I do not assume, I know that he will hand it to me. And the werewolf queen seems to know it already because I feel the way she curves my lips into smile. And I know what kind of smile she is doing. Her smile is really...flirty. I hope that Zen would not mind it. He must continue being cold.

"Happy birthday, Celestina!" I just realize how we much it affects me every time Zen is mentioning my name. I did not even realize it until the werewolf queen said that I must be in love with him without knowing it. And that though really makes me shiver.

"Well, thank you," she answers in a very flirty way. Zen seems did not even notice it and I do not know if that is good or bad. Well, he maybe not noticed it because it was the first. I sure as hell that as he continue talking to her, he will surely notice that there is actually something wrong.

"Have your guests arrived?" Zen asked and I shrug.

"Not yet," she casually answered like she does not care at all. Zen frowns a little and I think that he na noticed the less care that I have shown as we talk about the arrival of my friends.

"Any update on where they are? It is almost six in the afternoon," he said and he is more concern about the time than me. Well, maybe because he does not want to wait for them. But he is right. My friends must be here already.

"I have no idea where are they already," I said and he frowns even more.

"Shouldn't you ask for their updates?" Zen utters and I shrug again like I did not hear anything. She must be careful in everything that she does and say because it is Zen she is facing. But then I realize that she is not afraid of him. She is actually aiming for another battle with him.

"Their arrival does not matter, Zen. What matters most is that you are here already," she said and I do not know where to react first. To the thought that she mentioned Zen's name casually while me, up to now is still feeling awkward calling him by his name. Or the fact that her voice was obviously flirtatious and even Zen noticed it.

"What the hell, Celestina?" Zen utters, confused. She just chuckled and I was shocked when she clings on his arm. Zen was obviously caught off guard because I know that he would never see that coming.
