[ON HOLD INDEFINITELY] Comfortable in the Chaos «Sebastian Sallow»

10. The Wrong Pairs

——Ominis POV——

Sebastian suddenly burst into the room. I could hear his footsteps were heavy and his breath was hitched. He was upset.

" Sebastian? Is that you? What's wrong?" I asked.

I suddenly heard him kick the side of his trunk. " I was too late." He said angrily.

I raised an eyebrow. " For..?"

" That bloody Nightengale has Valeria all over him!!" He shouted.

My heart sank for him. I felt as though he was over reacting though. Valeria isn't the type to essentially do that.

I can't really imagine her all over a man. Even Sebastian. The thought kinda made me cringe.

He must have just saw something that looked odd.

" What did you see...?" I asked cautiously.

" IT DOES'NT FUCKING—" he began to shout but cut himself off. " Ominis please... I need to be alone." He whispered through a shaky voice.

I nodded and left the room.

Something didn't feel right about what Sebastian said. There was something missing. Either from his story, or the story entirely. I had to find Valeria.

My wand guided me through the castle. Evidently I ended up in the library.

I heard soft giggles that sounded familiar to Valeria's.

I rounded a bookcase. " Valeria?" I called out.

" oh! Ominis!" Her voice chirped. She sounded happy. And full of excitement.

I suddenly felt her wrap her arms around my neck as she giggled.

" You sound happy. Any good news?" I asked with a smile.

" oh yes!" She chirped. " Jasper's asked me to the golden ball!" She said excitedly.

She sounded so happy. She sounded like this was what she wanted. This was what she'd been wanting.

I raised an eyebrow. " Oh. I'm happy to hear that for you."

" Thank you! I had no idea I was so in love with him, Ominis." She sighed happily. " Listen Sebastian wanted me to meet him in the gardens. But I got tangled up. Can you talk to him and ask him what he wanted?"

" Valeria's we'd best be going." Jasper suddenly said.

" Wait, you're in love with him?" I said confused.

" Of course I am!" She said matter of factly. " We got to go though. I'll talk to you later!" She said. I could hear her light footsteps practically skipping beside Jasper.

Something definitely wasn't right. She had barely spent any time with Nightingale. I don't think I've ever heard Valeria say she loves anybody. I know she deeply cares for me and Sebastian. And she does love us. But she's not the type to outwardly express it. You can just tell by how she worries for you.
