Immediately I enter the room ,I'm greeted with questioning eyes being directed towards me

"What?"I ask them

"Nothing...   what took you so long?"Mat ask wiggling her eyebrow

"Em......?"I'm sure Emily has something to do with all these looks.

"Oh come on Ciara,I promise I didn't say anything. I just told them you were downstairs with prince charming."

"Prince Charming...you really had to say that?"I ask her annoyed

"Don't be too hard on her Ciara. I actually came downstairs looking for you two in order to prevent any untimely death of any of you but then it seemed you guys were busy settling your differences at the dining area."she says smirking

"Its not what it looks like.He was just trying to mess around with me. Nothing else."I tell them

"it looks like you enjoyed the whole messing around thingy since you keep blushing whenever you talk about it."Emily says

"Shut up Em you don't know what you are talking about."I say quickly walking towards the study table to hide my face from them.

"Yh you guys should stop teasing Ciara. If she says nothing like that happened then It means nothing happen.Come on here Ciara help me fix my hair and leave these two with their thoughts"Bec scolds them

I smile warmly at her and move to her side.

Mat and Emily just sit on the bed using nail polish whiles talking about random things that happened at the ball yesterday including the handsome guys present there and snobbish princes they met there.

Bec and I talked about our likes and dislikes whiles I help her with curling her hair.
I find out she likes fishing and Archery just like me.

She tells me she took classes on Archery when she was back at Aldovia and that she mostly goes fishing with her Dad that is how come she loves it soo much.

Becca is very cool and smart. She is very understanding too. I like her more already.

After we are done with her hair,we join Em and Mat on the bed and Mat persuades me into having my nails coloured once again.
We talk about life outside Angellos,I mean
Matilda and Becca do most of the talking since Em and I don't really have any kind of experience outside Angellos.

An hour later we decide to go into the kitchen to prepare something to eat together.
We meet the guys downstairs playing chess.
I say hi to Fynn totally ignoring Carlos.

After having a chit chat with the boys ,we finally enter the kitchen to do our business there.

After endless bickering about what to prepare, we finally settle on making some pastries.

Matilda volunteers to make the cake. I never knew Mat was an expect in this cake baking something.
She sternly told us to leave the cake baking to her since she didn't like to be disturbed when making cake.

So the three of us just had no choice to take care of the pancakes,chips and cookies.

I decided to take charge of the pancakes
Whiles Bec took cookies and Em settled for chips.

We then start making everything.

"Will you girls keep it easy in there?you are disturbing the whole neighborhood with this endless noise  ."Jerk shouts from the living area.

I ignore him and return to what I was doing before I was interrupted with his annoying complaint whiles Mat gives him a very cheeky remark to silence him.

We all burst into laughter at the sudden silence of the great Carlos McCain.

After turning the whole kitchen upside down we finally finish whatever with everything
It was just left with Mat's cake to be brought out of the oven.

After she takes it out, the aroma just fills our nostrils

"It smells soo good"I compliment

"And I'm sure it will taste good as well."Emily backs me up

Mat just proudly nods whiles staring at her good work
She settles on using Chocolate icing
After the cake is fully ready
We take all the pastries prepared to the living room.

"Are you girls throwing a pastry party or something."Fynn asks

"Maybe"I answer whiles settling the pancakes on the center table.

"Can we have some?"Fynn asks like the gentleman he is whiles Carlos just take some of the cookies without even asking anyone.

"Yeah of course Fynn. How can I say no to such a gentleman. You know what? I think if all guys were like you things will be much easier and peaceful. Don't you agree Carlos?" I ask him with an annoying look on my face whiles the girls and Fynn chuckle

He just rolls his eyes and returns to whatever he's doing.

"Such a prick"I mutter under my breath.

"Did you say something?."he ask raising his eyebrow

"Oh nothing much ....I was just telling myself how blessed I an to know someone like you."I say smiling in the insincere way as possible

He gives me a sly smile as if he is up to something that won't be in my favour.

He turns to Fynn to ask him something I can't even figure out.

I try as much as possible to get my ears closer but then I'm sadly interrupted when I'm pulled into a conversation with Mat.

Only God knows what he is planning this time.
He is just staring at me with those mischievous eyes and a nasty smug on his face.

He bits into his cake still staring at me
I swallow hard and immediately remove my gaze to fully give my attention to Mat and the girls.

I'm sure he is just messing with me . He is trying to make me anxious over nothing.i won't give him the pleasure of seeing me disturbed.

Moments later he finally takes his eyes of me and he stands up to walk towards the stairs.

What is he up to this time?

Minutes after he is gone
I decide to follow him in order to find out what he's up to in order to prevent myself from being totally clueless with his plans.

I give Mat the excuse of using her washroom and quickly head upstairs as quiet as possible.
