I Love Thee [SAIDA AU]

III

Monsieur Capulet
   You humiliated me, young lady! In front of the Governor!– in front of many people!!
   You are not  allowed to leave this manor without my consent! I'll be taking care of the mess you caused me!

   Then he slams the door shut, aggressively.

   Selene reminisces the "talk" she had with her father a few nights ago on her balcony. Her father did kept what he said, she was never allowed to leave their manor without her father knowing or without her father generally. Her father even made her stop going to school, which disappointed both her friend and cousin– even her.
  

Selene
   I did what I did, knowing that my father will get upset of me.. But just the thought of marrying Simon makes me regret being born.. He's a catch alright.. But I'm looking for love.. Not business.

 

   She ranted out as she gaze upon the stars from her balcony. Her father even prohibited her only friend to visit her.
  

Selene
   I hope Dad will forgive and understand me.

   She heaves a deep sigh before looking down and she saw her cousin Giselle sneakily walking towards the the bottom of her balcony.

Giselle
   Oh you bitch Rapunzel, let down your hair so we can go.

  
   Giselle raised her voice, enough for Selene to hear. Selene just rolled her eyes at her favorite cousins' bitchy and dramatic antics before looking down again and retorting.

Selene
   Oh why did God send me a bitch, when I prayed for a prince.

   Giselle rolled her eyes with a sly smirk on her face.

Giselle
   Just get down here already!

   Panic and fear is evident on Selene's face as her cousin shouted. She looked around for guards that could report them to her father. Thankfully there were none. She stared at the CCTV Camera attached near her balcony and she could only pray that the guard assigned to watch her is already sleeping. She looked down and glared at her smirking cousin.

Selene
   Keep your voice down Giselle! You're gonna get us caught!

   She hissed and hurriedly went back inside her room to wear a black oversized hoodie that completely covers her white short night gown, then she ties her blankets together to form a long escape rope.
   She throws out the other end before tightly tying the other end around her the foot of her bed.

   Thankfully she succeeds on escaping with a little panic and fear of gettng caught.

––––––––

Selene
   If Dad finds out about this, I'm sure I won't live to see the sun tomorrow.

   Selene whispered but Giselle heard it, so she laughed it off as they walk towards the bar counter. Good thing Selene's hoodie is big enough to hide her face– also the dimness of the bar helped.

   Selene had no plans of getting drunk like her cousin, so she left her cousin with her friends and dialed Marga's number– to keep her company instead.
