Chapter 28

Celestina's POV

I got more nervous when I saw how the way Zen looks at me like I have done the biggest mistake in my life that I am about to regret. But it feels like I have known him and I know now how to handle this kind of mood he has. And I think that the most effective way to have an upper hand over him is to give him a firm and fierce reaction. At first, he is trying to meet my gaze but just after few seconds, I saw him sigh again.

"You need to give me at least one good reason on why the hell did you do that?" he said but he is obviously calmer that a while ago. And why do I have this kind of feeling that this king of vampire is always bringing with him the longest patience that he could always bring. He already knew that fact and that is what he is doing now. Good thing he has a long patience when it comes to me.

"I was just amazed with your dimples. It is too cute," I said and I did not filter my mouth from telling him the truth. Well, I could not do anything because that was the true reason on why did I do that. And that was just a normal thing to me. I used to poke people I know when want to. And I could not believe that I could do it with Zen.

"But—what?" he asks when he realizes what I just said. And I do not know on which part of my speech he reacted that. The fact that I told him that I was amazed by his dimples or the fact that I said that it was cute. Well, wherever is that, I will not take it back both because it was both true. "Cute?" he continues uttering and now it is confirm on which part of my speech he reacted. But I did not see anything wrong with that. I was just stated the fact. Did it offend him? Nah, I do not think so.

"Uh-huh?" I said, confirming that he heard it right. But it just more make his mouth gape opened. And I am now on the verge of laughing just because of his reaction. But of course, I try my hardest in suppressing my laugh because I do not want him to thing that I am already making dun of him. I do not want to totally offend him. That is far from the compliment that I just said about his dimples. But I just do not get on why does it seem that he does not like the idea of me complimenting him. I sure as hell that was not sounded sarcastic. Because why would it sound sarcastic if I was just telling the truth?

"Stop blabbering, Celestina," he says and I could not help but pout. I was not just blabbering but I decided to shut up already because I do not want him to be totally pissed in me. "Finish your foods, Celestina. And may I remind you that you cannot just poke someone in their faces, especially me." There is a warning in his tone but I just shrug my shoulder.

"'Kay," I said and continue eating. A breakfast with Zen went well even though there are often times that I made him pissed off. Zen left right after our breakfast. He just said there are some important things that he has to finish. And even though how much I want to ask where he is going, I just could not do it because I know that I do not have any right to ask and to know.

After taking a rest at the receiving area, I decided to finally go back to my room so I can lie down already. I think I need to go back to sleep because I kind of feel sleepy. This is not the way I expected my morning to turn out but I guess that it was not bad as much as I expected. But when I was just about to stand up from the couch where I am sitting, a splash of cold water soaked my dress when a glass that Mirah is holding bumped into me.

"What the hell?" I was shocked with the yell I did to her even though I know to myself that it is just fine and she has a valid reason on why did t happen. But I cannot control myself from yelling at her and once again, I already do not know what is happening to me. I really want to tell her that it is just fine to me especially now that I have seen fear in her eyes. And I am sure that it is because of the yelling that I did. "Look what you have done," I said like I have no control in my mouth. I swear, it was not intention to react this way.

"I-I'm sorry, Miss Celestina. I was just going to give you the glass of water that you have asked but then you stood up so--"

"So, it was my fault then?" I said sarcastically and I want to slap my mouth for being such a b*tch to her even though I can already see in her face that she is innocent and he did not mean what happened. I also remember asking for a glass of water in her before going here. I can see and hear how she stutters but I just could not help myself from being a jerk to him.

"I did not say it was your fault, Miss Celestina. I am so sorry," she said and I can feel my mouth wanting to speak for more and be mean to her. But before I could ever do that, I decided to finally go now and leave her here already. So even though out of my will, I forced myself to start walking away from her before my mouth could ever start another b*tchy words to her.
