Ysabel and the Beast

Bath

The ball will be starting at eight o'clock in the evening. Mama said I should visit the salon for face and hair make-up but I refused.

"We are going to wear a mask mama. There's no use wearing make-up." I reasoned out.

"Just make sure to not dance with any boys." Mama warned.

"I know and also, Clarence said that I should avoid dancing with boys." I said.

"Oh, Clarence again. I bet he's stealing my role as your mama." Mama said with a smile.

"I'm going to take a bath." I said and entered the bathroom.

- AFTER 30 MINUTES -

I wrapped my body towel to my body and went out of the bathroom but I was stunned when I heard a noise. I looked at the ground and it was a broken cup with coffee in it. I raised my head and saw Clarence staring at me. Maybe the cup of coffee slipped from his hand.

I went to him. "What's wrong?" I asked.

He looked at me from head to toe and from toe to head.

"W-what-what are you-you wea-wearing?" he asked.

I inspect myself and just remembered that I was just using a body towel. I blushed.

"D-don't look!!" I shouted.

Clarence looked at different direction.

"There's nothing to see." He said.

I run upstairs and immediately entered my room. What is he doing here? Did he come to just drink coffee? I looked at the clock and it was already six. I change into my dress and also wear my sandals and went to the receiving room.

"Where's Clarence?" I asked.

"He went home, he said he'll be getting ready for later." Mama said.

"Oh."
