I Love Thee [SAIDA AU]

XI

      After that draining night at the Paris's household, both Selene and Darian has not seen nor texted each other.

     Shock is an understatement for what they really felt that night was extremely shaken and felt really awkward, for they just had a heated make out session in the maze garden. The oh so unforgettable event of the night at the Paris's.

Clem
     Dude! Rafa! That's the nth time you've blushed so madly this week while staring at nothing!!

Liona
     Are you sure nothing had happened last Friday?

   The usual Montague conversation ensue as Clem and Liona worriedly asks Darian. It's only composed of checking what's up with Darian– heck even their cousins are curious. And like the past few days they only recieved a short glance before Darian starts blushing madly again.

   And as for Richard...

Monsieur Montague
     If you don't plan of getting a suitable bride and business partner, I'll have no choice but to marry you off to one of my business partners daughter.

   This news is nothing new, but Richard thought is off the hook for a few more months but no, he was so wrong. Their graduation is getting closer and he hasn't even moved on from Rose.

Monsieur Montague
     Get yourself together.. It's just a girl, there's tons of them out there... I believe you won't get tired  just by looking for one bride, heck you can have two if you'd like.. Do your duties and don't make me damp it all on your sister.

     Of course, the usual threat. Richard's whole life has been like this. Darian mighg feel like she's only her brother's shadow but Richard himself feels like a puppet getting compared to his perfect shadow.

Richard
   I will father.. I promise.

     That being said, Monsieur Montague immediately leaves his son. This is a normal thing, he would only talk to them about business, their unreasonable behaviors and other stuffs but he'll never ask them if they're ok or even how their day has been. But the two Montague siblings are already used to him, so there's no point in fretting.

     In the Capulet's Manor, Selene's been busy reading books in their garden. Her beautiful smile never fading from her face as she sat on the grassy ground. Not far from her is her best friend and cousin, watching her from the manor's outdoor patio.

Giselle
     I swear that cousin of mine is going crazy!

Marga
     What makes you say that?

Giselle
     She's been all smiley and blushy then she'll get all frustrated and it had been happening since last friday. She even requested to have a garden maze here.

Marga
     Hmm.. That is really... Out of nowhere.. But your cousin likes gardens and plants, not surprising she wants a garden maze..

Giselle
     Ha! I'll bet because it has something to do with last Friday's party.

Marga
     Please, do enlightening me..

Giselle
     I found her at the Paris's garden with someone.. They looked like they were really close... Do you know who that is?

Marga
     As far as I know.. I'm the only friend she has outside your family..

Giselle
     This bitch is hiding something... And I'm going to find out what or who it is.

Marga
     Do count me in.. I'm a little hurt she hasn't told me anything yet.

     And there a new alliance was made. The oblivious happy Selene just kept on reading and reminiscing that night.. That one delightful night.

     She hasn't recieved a single message since that night, she's also too shy to send one. They're supposed to be enemies but she can't help but over think.

Selene
   We shared our first kiss.. Was it also the last?? Were all the things she showed me real? Does she also feel the same for me? What if she hates me now? Why can't I bring myself to hate her? She's my enemy.. She's... She's...
   She's my Darian..

     With just the thought of the pale girl's cute smiling face made her blush madly again. Earning shocked and knowing looks from the two girl's who are watching her.

Giselle
     I think I already know why..

Marga
     Are we thinking of the same thing?

Giselle
     I guess we are...

Marga
     She's in love.

Giselle
     She sure is fucking in love.

     Soon after their surprised expressions changed into soft and small smiles. Glad that their Selene has finally found someone.

     Back to the peaceful Selene. She's been plucking off flower petals– daisy's to be exact while muttering the most silliest questions. She's now on the last three petals.

Selene
     She loves me... She loves me not... She... SHE LOVES ME!!! AAAAAHHH!!! ♡♡♡

     Selene couldn't contain her glee, she stood up and starts jumping while making her loud happy noises. Startling some maids as well as her best friend and cousin who were busy eating their snacks.

Selene
     AAAHH!! I'M SO HAPPY!!! ♡♡♡

     But does she really though? It's just somre silly game Selene, she didn't even tell you directly.. Stop fooling yourself...

     There goes again her thoughts. Her once happy and cheerful face, turned into a sour frown. She even looks like she's about to cry. Then she starts pouting.

Selene
     That's right.. What if she doesn't like me that way? What if she only kissed me because I dared her to?

      Aaaaahhh!!!!!! I Hate this!!!

     She starts messing up her own hair. Then starts kicking the grass underneath her.

Selene
     But... She could actually like me... I mean...
     I'M SELENE CAPULET!!! There's no way she doesn't like me... Right?

     She starts talking to herself. It's like she's really losing it. Giselle is amused while watching her from a far while Marga is really concerned and very worried.

Marga
     Ahmm... Should we?.. Umm...

Giselle
     Shhh!! I'm enjoying this.. Told ya she's going crazy.

Marga
     And I'm really worried right now!

Giselle
     Oh hush hon, just enjoy the show.
