Secrets of the lost past

Chapter 28

-Breakfast is ready! -Aria shouted from the kitchen.

-What a good thing to start the day with...-I said, petrified from diarrhea.

-Aaa, I can't wait for the ball today! An actual ball! -Eira said, she couldn't let go of it.

The rest of the day was boring. We visited Jasper, he will be home in about three days. Then, the girls went shopping for accessories (highlighting the boring part here), and boom, it's 7pm already.

-Shouldn't we dress up? We need a lot of time to put those dresses on -Aria suggested.

30 minutes later, everyone was finally dressed.

-So, how do I look? -Irene asked after she came out of her room. -One button is untied, so don't mind that.

She looked...absolutely beautiful. The navy blue dress pointed her curves out so well. I never saw such a gorgeous creature in my life.

-Hello? Are you good? -Irene interrupted my thoughts.

-Sorry -I said, and I shaked my head. -It's okay. The dress on you looks okay.

Deep inside, I knew it was much more than just okay.

-Can you help me button up that last one?

-Sure.

I walked behind her, and I slowly buttoned it up. Not even life juice could give me such a feeling. Probably a feeling I never really felt before.

-You're done -I said, and I patted her head. -Shortie.

-Shut up.

She untied her hair, and went back in the room to re-do it.

"This feeling...it feels like...like love on one side, hate on the other."

Yes, Irene, yes. This is how quick I dampen. I dampen for you.

-Lovebirds, where are you? -Aria asked when she came into the room. -Why are you so red?

-She...-I whispered. I pointed to the room Irene was in. -She is magnificent.

Aria looked at me with a happy smile.

-See? She isn't that bad.

-Well, she isn't. But in her eyes, I'm like her biggest enemy.

She glanced at me.

-Enemy? She just asked you to button up her dress! -she mumbled. -You aren't her enemy. For sure.

She was my family's enemy, so she is my enemy. How could I say such things?

-Okay, we're ready to go -Irene said, and she came out of the room. -Is everyone else ready?

-I think so.

We walked to the castle like normal people, but all I could think about was Irene and her dress. It doesn't fit in my head. How could someone look so beautiful?

-Wait...Aren't we missing something? -Eira asked everyone else.

-Welcome in, have a great night -the guards greeted us.

We walked in the ballroom, it was so much prettier than last time.

Irene stepped one step back, she put her hand in front of me.

I knelt down, and I placed a kiss on her hand. I would've done anything for her in that state.

-What is happening? -Aria asked, worried. -Am I hallucinating?
