Capítulo 15: Rose's Birthday(1)
A golden Chevrolet car was running at a moderate speed. "Wow, I never thought you had such an expensive car. It's so beautiful!" Draco was raving, his eyes shining like stars.
"You've been saying this for the past few minutes; can't you..." Rose was already getting angry at Draco's words as she drove.
"But not as beautiful as you," Draco interrupted Rose, making her whole face turn red. Startled by the sudden confession, she asked, "Am I...?"
She used both hands to touch her cheeks, pouting. Draco, seeing this, became startled, screaming, "What the hell are you doing, Rose? You want to get us killed?" He shouted when he saw her take her hands off the steering wheel.
"My bad," Rose said, ashamed, putting her hands back on the steering wheel as she steered the car, which had already veered into the forest, back onto the road.
Draco's heart was racing, regretting the words he had spoken earlier.
"If we die now, I would feel no regret because I'm going with you," she smiled at Draco.
Draco, seeing this, felt his heart pounding. Unknowingly, his lips curled up into a smile.
Her enchanting black dress fitted her perfectly, with her sparkling black eyes. As he admired her, he didn't know why his gaze went to her lips, making him want to taste them.
"Why are you silent, Draco?" She turned her face to see Draco's face getting close to hers. Her mind was in utter chaos.
His enchanting black hair and black suit made him even more captivating. Maybe it was because he wasn't wearing his glasses, which made his eyes even more enchanting.
Not knowing what to do, in shock, she pressed the brake, stopping the motor. But the air didn't stop; it turned romantic as their lips got closer to each other.
It was as if time had stopped, with only each other in their eyes.
Hiss! A silver snake appeared between their faces, looking at them with suspicious eyes.
Both Draco and Rose were shocked by the sudden intrusion, their expressions like children caught doing something wrong.
Rose's heart was thumping loudly and faster as she continued driving.
"Did we just want to kiss? What's wrong with me? Why can't I calm down? But isn't this what I wanted?"
She took a peek at Draco, who was looking outside the window, his fingers covering his eyes, appearing to be in deep thought.
"He's so handsome," she shouted in her mind.
Draco's face was more chiseled, his sharp gaze, and well-rounded cheeks were all too pleasing to the eyes.
Draco didn't know that the system had enhanced his physical appearance.
As she enjoyed Draco's face, Bubble hissed, eyeing her with a gaze that seemed to say, "He's all mine, and I won't let you touch him."
She was startled by Bubble's gaze. "I wonder what's wrong with him and why he has to follow Draco," she pouted, continuing to drive.
Meanwhile, Draco was deep in thought.
"What happened? Why the hell did I do that?" Draco screamed in his mind.
"Would she get angry at me? Also, why the hell did I want to kiss her? What's wrong with me?"
Since their death in the simulation, his heart and mind had been behaving abnormally whenever he saw her.
This baffled him.
If Ming and Blum knew what was wrong with him, they would have teased him, knowing what was happening to him.
He took a peek at Rose, who noticed his gaze; her earlobe turned red. "See whatever. We'll just let nature take its course," he thought.
The atmosphere turned awkward as they both didn't know what to say, due to the scene that had happened before.
"I never thought your home was this far. Don't tell me you live in the forest. I thought we were going to a city," Draco said, noticing they had been driving for thirty minutes. He was trying to relieve the awkward atmosphere.
Two days ago, Friday, February 15th, was the day he woke up. The following day, the Academy gave them a leave, which prompted Draco to take this opportunity to do something. Close to evening, he came back and met Rose, who told him her father wanted to see him tomorrow. Since he had nothing to do, he agreed to go, leading to their present journey.
Rose giggled. "Draco, don't you read novels? In novels, a clan has multiple members, so do you expect a city to contain all of us?"
Draco felt embarrassed when Rose pointed out his mistake but felt relieved when he had eased the awkward atmosphere between them. However, looking at her giggling, he fell into a trance, captivated by this beautiful moment.
Rose quickly noticed something was wrong with Draco's gaze. "Why are you looking at me as if you want to devour me?" Her cheeks blushed red.
"Did I? Maybe you're just too beautiful," Draco muttered in a low tone, trying to hide his ashamed face.
Rose's whole face turned red. "I never thought you were a smooth talker."
"Me? I don't think so. But how you giggled just now... How many have you laughed like that with?" Draco didn't know why he felt like asking that question.
Rose's face was full of question marks when she heard his question, but seeing his eyes waiting for an answer, she replied, "No one. Do you think I'm close to anyone apart from you three boys? You know my character and title in school."
Knowing her title, "Tigress," he felt relieved. "That's better."
"Are you jealous?" She eyed him suspiciously.
"Me?" Draco pointed at himself. "Why would I be jealous of this?"
Giggling, "Okay, I get. I only smile like that in front of you."
Draco, who heard this, didn't know why he felt indescribably happy, trying to suppress his excitement. "Cough, but why do I need to wear a suit to this occasion?" He protested.
"Don't you know what today is?" Rose asked, bothered.
"No, is there anything special today?" He looked at her straight in the eye, appearing confused about what made today special.
"Oh, it's nothing." Her mood, which had turned sour, didn't go unnoticed by Draco, who remained silent.
Not long after, they arrived at their destination.
A large mansion lay like a dragon; Draco couldn't see the end of its extension. The walls surrounding it shone like gold, domineering and magnificent.
As they approached the gate of the mansion, he saw guards stationed there. His instinct kicked in, screaming danger.
"Welcome, young miss," the guard greeted her with courtesy and respect.
"Is Father and Brother around?"
"Yes, young miss," they replied politely.
"Wow, as expected of a main clan," Draco said, surprised by this and the grandeur of the building, as they entered the mansion.
"Is that what I think it is?" Draco asked with uncertainty, seeing a large statue standing in the center of the mansion.
"Yes, the statue of one of the heroes, Sarah Everett."
"So she's a lady," his mouth open wide in surprise.
"Yes, she is, and the only female among the four heroes," Rose giggled.
Heading to the center of the mansion, he saw a small villa stationed there, with intricate designs of beasts like dragons and phoenixes. He could even hear the sound of a gushing waterfall.
A man hugged Rose, which made Draco's head spin. Then the man pecked her on the forehead, making Draco angry.
"Welcome back, sis," the man said, quenching Draco's anger.
So this is her brother, he thought, noticing some resemblance between them.
Sizing up her brother, he saw that he was handsome, with black hair and eyes, wearing a golden suit with a white shirt.
"And who is this?" Her brother's eyes turned to Draco, also sizing him up.
"Draco, meet my brother, Damien. And Damien, this is my Draco, my friend," she introduced them for better familiarization.
"Oh, the SS-Ranked Awakener, it's a pleasure meeting you," he said, stretching out his hand, which Draco shook.
"I heard you guys were friends from middle school. Hope she doesn't cause any trouble for you."
"Big brother, what do you mean?" Rose pouted.
"No, she's the one taking care of us," Draco replied with a smile.
"Oh, okay. Let's move inside," Damien said, as they all went inside the villa.
"Big brother, why is it so dark?" Rose asked.
As she asked this question, the lights turned on, and unfamiliar faces appeared in Draco's sight, each having an air of nobility.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!
