Chap 40

In short, Amalia was in love with this girl and also this guy, her boyfriend.

It was the first time Isaac had seen this side of his friend, she had always had many conquests, it was something they had in common. But unlike Isaac who always got into complicated stories, Amalia had always managed to keep things separate and in the place she wanted.

The problem was that even if it sounded cliché, falling in love was not something that could be controlled. And for Amalia, who was used to being in control, it was hard to cope when she lost that control.

For Isaac the story wasn't as complicated as Amalia made it seem. All she had to do was tell them both and they could be a couple, a trouple in fact. From what he understood, Solal seemed to have liked the girl a lot too since he talked about her at regular intervals.

"Don't say something like 'tell them' or I'll hit you."

"Well, that's what I was going to say.

I mean what else is there to do ?"

"Let me see, oh ! Don't tell them and avoid a disaster ! God Isaac you're such a lousy friend, I'm not surprised you get along with that asshole Hiroo."

"Leave him alone. And excuse me but I have nothing else to say to you."

"God, show a little more compassion you're useless. I feel sorry for Keith."

"I've already told you, you're the only one to feel sorry for, I'm not like that with him"

"Then just try being like that with me, damn it."

"I can't."

"Oh great ! And why is that?"

"You don't look like Keith"

"Of course I don't look like him. I look better, I mean did you look at me ?!"

Amalia wasn't lying, she really was a beautiful woman, she had a muscular body from combat training but not as we see her muscles, she had a little bit of fat which gave her a divine shape and her olive skin reminded of the time she had spent in the sun. Isaac thought she was the perfect representation of Athena, except for the fact that Amalia had blue eyes and red hair, she was a Dolce after all.

"Yeah, yeah I''ve been seeing you almost every day for the last 15 years, and like I said Keith is much better."

"Ah ah, you're in love too."

"What ? No.. He's just better than you, I'm not delusional"

"Of course you are, no one would dare say anyone is better looking than me, I'm perfection" Amelia exclaimed with a smile as she placed a hand on her chest to refer to herself as "perfect".

"You're not, Keith is."

"Okay so you're in love. Admit it too."

"No. Can I say someone is perfect without being in love ?!"

"No, and being able to think that makes you delusional, so in love."

"If it helps you sleep better, so be it."

"Jesus, Isaac, why don't you just admit it ? I mean it's only to me that you admit it, what are you risking ? I'm not Rosa."

" I'm leaving " said Isaac while opening the door to an halway.

"Argg, okay ! Go join your sleeping beauty who is this way because you're fucking him too much !"

"I love you too !"

"Yeah, yeah tell that to Keith, you delusional fool."

Isaac had made his way back to his room, despite the light tone that the exchange between him and Amalia had taken, Isaac felt his heart heavy. It wasn't that he didn't want to admit the feelings he had for Keith, Isaac had known right away that he had developed a deep attachment to the young man quickly.

Isaac felt trapped.

Keith might have allowed him to escape, to think about something else, but his duties as a Dolce quickly brought him back to reality. Only two days before Isaac had to double his medical visits and blood donations for the sake of the city's scientific research. Moreover, Rosa had not stopped reminding him of the duties he had towards the family, in particular his wedding, which was to be announced on the day of the ball, plus his forthcoming diplomatic trip and the numerous meetings with the country's ruling families. But Isaac preferred not to think about all that and to savour the short moments he could share with Keith. Because Keith was currently sleeping in his bed and that alone saved him from all the pain he could have caused himself.

Keith was not in the bed.

Isaac had just returned to the room with the breakfast tray only to find it empty. Isaac had checked the bathroom but to no avail, Keith had left. Why had he left the room ? He had nothing to do all day and Isaac had made sure when he left to leave a note that he would be back.

"What's wrong with him ? He seemed fine last night when we were together..." Isaac muttered to himself as he sat down on the bed.

He couldn't understand Keith's actions at all, he seemed to have constant mood swings.

Isaac hated that about Keith.
