Chương 13: BREAKFAST WITH LIANNO

I remember what Lianno did earlier before I entered the room. I felt a sudden rush of heat on my face, making my eyes widened in shock. How will I get to sleep tonight if every time I close my eyes images of Lianno kissing the high of my palm starts flashing?

I raised my right hand and stared at it. What is happening to me and I seem to be thrilled by what happened earlier? I took a deep breath and rolled side to side on the bed. How can I possibly eat tomorrow with him? Even now, I'm still amazed by what he did. I couldn't avoid the malice that is slowly forming in my head.

Tired because of too much thinking… I fell asleep.

"Celestina… wake up. The Prince is calling for you to the garden. He said that you will eat together this morning" I felt a hand tapping on my arm, waking me up with furrowed brows. I ignored it and just rolled over. I do not know what time I slept last night, but I'm still sleepy right now.

"Celestina, the Prince is waiting" I felt a hand shaking my body, making me groan in annoyance. That's the only time I finally processed what she said, I was stunned and froze right on my spot. F*ck! I forgot that I need to have breakfast with Lianno today

"WHAT!!" I screamed there in shock. Isabella also seemed surprised by my sudden shout because her eyes widened as she jumps out of bed.

"The Prince is waiting, so you need to fix yourself, Celestina," She said patiently, explaining again.

She handed me a white spaghetti strap layered dress. Without doubts, I took that dress and went into the bathroom to take a bath. I quickly fix myself up since it is embarrassing for me to make Lianno wait in the garden for a long period of time.

I went out of the bathroom wearing that dress. I saw Isabela holding a comb while standing on the left side of my dresser. I sat there as she combed my wet hair. She always does comb my hair every time I finish bathing, it has become a routine since then.

Isabela gave me a box. I opened it and was amazed at the shoes that are in there. A golden gladiator shoes with beads of diamonds on both sides of it. There are also white rounded crystals on the top, placed in the middle. Maybe if I sold it to my world, it would cost a fortune. I can be one of the richest people in my place.

We left the room and went to the garden afterward. I saw Lianno in the middle of the garden near the fountain sitting at the table that they set up. I went there and approach him to say hi.

"Good morning, Lianno" I looked at him, and smiled widely, trying to cover up the nervousness I'm feeling. He stopped what he was doing and looked at me.

"You look beautiful in the morning, Celestina," He said gently.

My cheeks instantly heated up at what he said and I'm trying my best to surpass the smile forming on my lips right now. I seated in front of Lianno and eat quietly in front of him. I don't know, but I can feel that my cheeks are still heating up because of what he said earlier.

I'm honestly shocked because of what he said. Who else is in the right mind would say such a thing? And he likes to say it straightforwardly, without even stuttering. Although the food is delicious and tasty, my stomach seems to can't digest it.

I'm thinking of the words he said earlier, I look beautiful, really? He isn't the first person to tell me that, but why am I reacting like this?

"Are you okay, Celestina?" Suddenly, I heard a cold voice interrupting my thoughts.

"Y-Yes" The outcome of what I said came stuttered. I looked up unto him, our eyes met halfway as my heart thumped crazy. I think I'll have a heart attack one of these days, it is not beating properly

I quickly averted my eyes. I can't get used to his deep dark green eyes. It was fascinating as if my soul was being pulled out and I will lose my sanity, It stared at me deeply. He stared at me for a while before continuing to eat. When I was about to finish my food, he suddenly spoke again.

"Celestina, I will take you out later. Be ready and don't be late again" His voice was cold, he looked at me strictly.

"Ok," I answered without looking at him.

He left immediately after both of us finish eating. He said that he has an important meeting this morning and he can't be late. I look at Jea who is busy arranging the flowers that I pick out yesterday. They're helping me since we don't have anything to do.

"Celestina is this okay?" I look at Isabela who is sitting on my left side, showing a beautiful arrangement of black and red roses.

"Wow! That's beautiful" I exaggerated my reaction. The flowers are placed in a vintage black ceramic vase with gold leaves as a design for it.

"I'm glad that you like it" She sweetly smiled at me and continue on arranging some flowers.

"Celestina, I found this vintage vase yesterday while I was cleaning" Jea suddenly showed me a vintage-looking butterfly satsuma painted porcelain vase.

I took it from her hand and looked at it. It is such a nice masterpiece. I think this will perfectly fit on my bedside table.

I picked some flowers and start to arrange them on the design I want, then I placed them inside the vase. I smiled at the colorful flowers matching perfectly the said vase. I happily place it on my bedside table.

I looked back to see what Jea and Isabela were doing. Seeing that they are also finished and just cleaning up the mess that we created. I look at the clock at the top left side of my dresser. It's already past lunch, I wonder, what time will he be back?

"Celestina, what should we do now?" I heard Isabela's voice behind me

"I want to eat already" I answered her, pouted.

They nodded in unison and excuse their selves to get some food. I was busy admiring the view from my room. Green tall trees that are dancing with the wind. A view of humongous mountains and birds flying across the sky.

"Celestina, the prince's right hand said something to us" They suddenly told me after placing the food on the table.

My mood suddenly lit up thinking that Lianno is probably back right now. I hurriedly run to them to ask some questions about it.

"What did he say" Excitement is evident in my voice, looking at them adoringly.

"Jacob said that Prince Lianno can't make it today…"
