Ysabel and the Beast

Afternoon

I don't want to go home without talking to Clarence. I seated on the bench on the open field and stared at the sky.

"Hey."

"Oh it's you." I said when I saw a beast.

He was about to walk away but,

"I really like you." I said and looked him through his eyes.

He didn't answer.

"You told me not to dance with any boys in the ball but someone suddenly pulled me and dance with me." Then he looked at me. "Then, while dancing, he kissed me."

I glanced at him and he was surprised.

"Well, he was kissing me gently so I almost forgot about you. Good thing I remembered you so I pushed him away."

He seated beside me.

"You said you don't like me. Why?" I asked while not looking at him and as I bit my lower lip.

"Ysabel." He said.

This was the first time he said my name. I glanced at him and was surprised when he kissed me on my lips. He was kissing me gently that let me remembered the guy on the masquerade ball.

After a while, he let go of me.

"I really don't like you." He said. "Because I love you."

My heart was pounding so fast when he said those words.

"I love you Ysabel. I don't know when did it happened, I just woke up one morning and started looking for you." He said with bowed head.

"I-I love you too Clarence." I whispered.

He looked at me through my eyes.

"I don't know how to approach you that night so I just grab your hand and dance with you and kissed you. I thought you don't like me anymore that's why you pushed me away." He said.

"Then that's the reason why you're avoiding me."

"Yes. Good thing I gave you my first kiss. That Princess suddenly kissed me, I was surprised for what she did so I slapped her." He explained.

I want to laugh at what he said. But right now, I felt happy.

"By the way Clarence," he raised his brow. "Lance once said that there is something in me and I don't know what."

"Well I don't know. Because right until now, you're still flat."
