Abandoned Love

CHAPTER 15

*Pageant*

SOMEONE'S POV

"make sure that she will not make it to the pageant"

She said while I'm kissing her neck.

"okay, honey.. I will make sure.."

then she kissed me harshly on my lips.

we changed positions  and I kissed her forehead.

I will do this for my queen. Queen of my heart.

CLAIRE

"Ouch!.."

i pleaded. She must probably be stressed. My mom braid my hair with a style like, fountain? I dunno what is it called..

" Oh, sorry darling. "

she said then get something behind her back.

Mom, really? do I need to wear these?"

My I pointed on the sparkling silver stilettos mom probably bought from London.

"I know that costs a lot, so why buy?"

I sat at the stretcher the staff gave to us.

mom just sat down beside me and looked at the mirror.

"You look extravagant honey. I know that your dad would wish that he is with us."

She gave a hard smile at me. I can observe that she is becoming sadder. Its been five years since dad.. well, dad's death. Apparently, my mom came to  London to fix some business issues with her partners. She promised that she will be here in the pageant and she did.

"ma.."

I tapped her back and embraced her.

"I'm sorry, Claire. I'm just.. Happy.."

she said while pinching my cheeks.

"Then why are you crying?"

I said with a teary eyes.

" No.. Nothing.. dont cry because you might wear out your makeup. "

I exhailed. Really? She is thinking about that? Please remove this irritating makeup!

"I'll just go to the washroom, okay? wear these because if you dont, you will never had the gift that I will give you after August.. And the pageant will start 17 minutes from now.."

my mom said with a sheepish grin.

Yes! I will have tha gift one month from now! Cant wait!

Remember the gift my mom told me when we are just going here? In this academy? If you dont remember, go back to  chapter one :)

"fine.."

I boringly said to my mom.

suddenly, my phone rang.

"Oh.. Its him.."

I checked the message..

Goodluck my beautiful joker! Wish you the best! :*

Me:
thank you! ^_^ are you coming?

then, I send my message.

I waited for his message.

why is he so slow in typing?

Yes! my phone vibrated again!

Of course, crush. I bet you're much more prettier now.

after reading his message, I felt something.. I touched my cheeks, smiled sweetly and looked at the mirror.

"I'm blushing."

Two words is now repeating over and over in my head.

Prettier

crush

prettier

crush

Me:

Make sure you will come, Bernie. Because if not,  I will not entertain you anymore. Joke :)

then he replied

Okay, Claire cute.. I will just be a bit of late because of my ankle therapy.

Me:
okay :)

he replied

good luck! I know that you will win even if Im not your partner. I will always be there for you and cheer you up when you are shy. Love you!!!

Love you

Love you

Love you

What's happening to my body? It was like I was going to burst! What's happening to my heart? God.

While Im in a kilig moment here, someone barged into my room.

Its Calvin.

After seeing me, he smiled widely.

his suit is so cool.. It fits perfectly to him.. He had a lipgloss, that made him more attractive. I had to admit, he is handsomer tonight.

I smiled in return.

he went closer to me and arranged my bangs and said

"There. Perfect. You are so beautiful tonight, Claire."

He gave me a brighter smile.

I blushed and said

"you to. I didnt know that a horse like you would turn into a human."

We both laughed in what I've said.

what's happening in me? Why is that I'm comfortable with him? Like his smile is precious to me? Like I cannot be complete without him and Bernie?

He standed up and also did I.  Then he kneeled and... what the..

he is putting my stilettos to my feet?!!!

My eyes became wider.

"Its fi---"

"its okay.."

then he standed up and put his right hand to my hip. I felt something switched on into my heart.. Electric shock is now going through my body.   he looked at ma and said

"Ready for the pageant?" he smiled

"maybe?"

"c'mon"

then he holded my hip tighter for me to be closer to him.

I can do this. For mom, dad, calvin, and bernie.

then we walked
