Chương 32: Ted's dilemma
"Where have you been? Adam? Celestia?" what awaited them is a man in his early 30s, Ted who is still in his white coat, his hands on his hips as he scrutinizes the newly arrived couple. He approaches them and started sniffing.
"Something smells fishy here," he said, then pointing out Adam and Celestia's hand.
"AHA! You went behind my back, Celestia! You betrayed me!" He said, raising the couple's hand. He started making exaggerated weeping noises.
"How could you do this to me? I, took care of you, fed you. clothed you!" he pointed out while still sobbing.
Celestia broke off their holding hands and whispered to Adam, "Let me talk to him" The latter just nodded his head, he doesn't give a f*ck on what Ted's up to.
He gave Celestia a peck before going inside.
"Goodbye my forever!" Ted acted even more. raising his hands while looking at Adam's fading back
Celestia hits Ted lightly on his neck, the doctor groaned in pain, "Now you are hurting me physically?! Not only mentally and emotionally but also physically? Really Celestia?!"
The princess knew Ted is just kidding, she knows her friend too well, she kissed him on the right cheek, this is what usually calms Ted down.
"Teddyy! Aren't you happy for me? I know, Adam does not know his real identity, I know, he's from the Theavarian empire, I know I am the first-born princess of Thusha, and lastly, I know that you are just worried for me Ted but I want to do this okay? If anything bad happens, it's my choice and I'm sure I will not regret being with him, giving our whirlwind romance a shot. I'm tired of being told what to do, how to act, I just want to do what my heart desires, for once..." she clings on him, like what she always does when she's asking Ted for a big favor.
Ted sighs and then chuckled afterward.
"You leave me no choice Celestia, of course, I will support you just like the old times, I'm just acting a while ago. The thing is, I'm just having a little problem..." he gave off a long sigh, massaging his temple.
'Why does it have to be now?'
"What happened?" her voice is now filled with worry. It's a rare thing to see her friend in a problematic state.
"Ashley's coming here"
Ashley Perez, an international model, tall, slender, curvaceous, hot, and charismatic. These are just a few adjectives that describe Ted's younger sister.
"Why is she coming here? Did something urgent happened?" she queried.
"She's been accused of dating a big-shot drug dealer, she needed a place to go to until the news settled down for a bit" followed by another long sigh.
"Then what's the problem? She can surely stay here, Adam and I will just sleep on the living room" she suggested, there's only one guest room after all and Ted's just taking them in out of kindest, she can't ask for more.
"That's not the problem, my sister, her attitude is. She's kind of rude and she's like the girl version of me when it comes to sluttiness, I'm afraid she might do something to you and Adam, also, she should not know that the first princess of Thusha is staying in my humble home!" there are indeed many loopholes they needed to block.
Celestia understood what Ted meant. It is extremely dangerous if anyone finds out, especially an international model who could easily post through online.
Both of them planned over what to do while cooking dinner, the electricity is back now after Ted came, he hurriedly reported the problem to the power supply company, he went directly to it. It's easy for him to go since he has his car.
If Celestia knew that Ted will come that day, she shouldn't have troubled herself and just waited patiently.
However, deep down, she is thankful for that blackout, she gets to spend time with Adam.
"She will arrive after three days, we've got enough time to make up a story" Ted informed Celestia, who is at the moment, cutting a cauliflower, having in mind to cook cauliflower casserole and frozen lobsters.
They brainstormed enough until the food is already cooked.
"Ted, I'll just call Adam," she said after being satisfied with the taste of the food. Celestia removes her apron and puts down the spatula she's been holding.
Ted gave a small nod and continued preparing the table for the three of them to eat.
"Adam?" she said after knocking softly, when she heard no response she went inside, seeing a man's back, sitting on the table and writing seriously. By walking carefully, she tried to peak at what the man is writing, however, his fast reflexes eradicated the curiosity of the princess.
He folded the paper where he was writing and grabbed Celestia by her arm.
"I see, we've got a naughty tigress here," he said, his face brimming with mischievousness and his eyes sparkled instantly as soon as he saw his beloved.
"Pfft, what are you writing? You are too focused to even recognized my presence" she asked while Adam caresses her thighs, still sitting in the chair and she standing beside him.
Celestia is not sure whether she should laugh because it tickles or pout because he's hiding something so she did both at the same time hoping to get answers by using her charm.
"Hm, it's nothing, you'll know it someday I promise" he replied, "So why did you came here? Missed me already?" he added, changing the topic.
Celestia knew that he doesn't want to talk about the letter, she did not pry anymore as she holds on to his promise that she'll read it someday...but when is someday?
"Ah, that, the food is ready, I cooked lobsters! And yes, I miss you already Muffin " she answered, shrugging off her thoughts, pushing it at the back of her mind. She will always trust him.
"Really? Muffin? You should call me Alpha male," he pinched her nose as he gets up, smiling widely.
"Alpha your face! Where did you even learn that?" she asked him as they both descended the stairs.
Adam did not have much to do when Celestia and Ted went to talk so he decided to read her books that were scattered on the table. He learned a lot from it, he reads faster than usual people resulting to quickly finishing the two books out of five that were scattered, He read about the history of Thusha Kingdom and the second book entitled 'Chasing Luna' which is all about wolves and such. He finds both books quite intriguing.
"In one of your books, I scanned them earlier" he stated, and Celestia just nodded.
'Well, Alpha quite suits him too, with those jet black hair and oozing elegance, added the fact that he's tall and his clearly robust stature, oh! How she loved being in his warm arms.' she unconsciously removed her non-existent drool.
