🖤 LOVING THE TWISTED 🖤

Chapter 43: Painstakingly Beautiful

Love was currently sitting on the open garden besides her chamber when the tea was served to her. Mix stood beside her and watched as a maid poured her the tea.

It was a calm and nice afternoon and she was hoping to see her brother soon because she missed him so damn much in the past few days.

Love was well aware that her brother and his boyfriend will be leaving Goene a little late than they originally was supposed to and that made her even more impatient.

That impatience was the main reason she wanted to enjoy a tea because everytime the liquid ran through her body, her mind calms and relaxes down

"My lady..."
Mix suddenly bent down and whispered in a ear making her have a tickling sensation over the body and an instictive smile sprang across her face

"Hm?"
She replied

"Stop fidgeting your fingers. My best friend and his lover will be back soon"

Love chuckled.

"How did you know I was fidgeting my fingers for that?"

"I guessed. Right now, that is what your mind is occupied of."
Mix replied and she hummed

"By the way, why don't you drink the tea that is poured?"
Mix asked again and then only he noticed another cup poured on the table

"Are we expecting someone?"

"Yes. P'Davika said she will be joining me."
Love replied and just then, they saw Davika approaching them smiling

"Did I disturb you love birds?"
She asked teasingly and Mix immediately stood up rigid straight and Love almost chocked on her own saliva

"What are you talking about Phi?"
Love asked innocently and Davika threw her hands in air

"Gosh. How long do I have to pretend I do not know about you two. Honestly. This palace is full of love but I am still single."
She complained in a playful voice and Love sneered

"That is because of your sharp tongue. Boys are too scared of your sass."

All the three, Love, Davika and Mix chuckled together and then Love gestured Davika to enjoy her tea while getting her own cup to her hands.

One thing about Love is her extreme love for tea. She is able to smell and tell almost all the kinds of teas and just by the texture of tea leaves she could tell what tea is what and right now, the smell coming from the tea.... it just felt different.

She immediately looked at her tea and there was no difference in colour but the smell! It is not just odd, it was totally different. They were having chamomile tea which was supposed to calm her down but the smell itself was obviously too strong for her

"Stop don't"
She stopped Davika who was going to have the first sip of the tea by holding Davika's hand and the girl gave Love a pure confused look

"What's wrong Nong?"
Davika asked looking at Love's hand which was a kind of trembling now

"Don't drink. This is poisoned."
Love's voice was shaky as she stared at her cup and Davika's cup alternately and what Love said widened the eyes of both Davika and Mix

"What do you mean-"

"Shsh!"
Love covered Davika's mouth as she hushed.

"Don't. Keep calm. Keep calm and let's talk."
She said and Davika nodded, her mouth still covered with Love's hands. Love slowly took her hand away and the looked at Mix.

Mix gave a her knowing look and then unsuspiciously observed rhe surrounding to see if any maids were present. Seeing none as they had already left giving Love and Davika their space, Mix took both the cups to his hand, and then threw the tea to the nearby flower vase, emptying the cups.
