"Weeeeeell, then I'll be your date!" she removed her arm from Iver's and moved to Orion's side, sliding her hand around his left arm, "only the best for you!" she said cockily."What?! You promised to be my date," Iver scoffed."Sorry brother, you just got ditched," Orion smirked and Iver flicked April's forehead."Don't hurt my date," Orion said and playfully punched Iver on his shoulder.Their parents laughed, pride swelling in their chest to see their children so happy and still together.Suddenly, there was an increase in the volume of the sounds being heard around them. Reporters once again scrambled towards a particular group of people who just made an entrance. Their proximity were being controlled by security guards to make sure they aren't too close to the obviously-prominent figures.They were two men and two ladies with the ladies dressing as sophisticated as possible; the kings. They were accompanied by about eight bodyguards who scattered themselves across the area, loo
“Thank you, Mr Finn,” Mr Caddel appreciated the doctor who had attended to April.He and Knox were outside the hospital room with Mr and Mrs Caddel, discussing with the doctor. After the vomit mishap back at home, Iver had carried April to her room and left so Mrs Caddel could help clean her up.During that time, Orion also went to clean up, rushing so he could quickly take April to the hospital. Knox had driven him, April and Iver to the hospital. Their parents agreed to take a cab so April could lie comfortably in the backseat.Iver had sat in the passenger seat, feeling extremely guilty for everything that happened while Orion sat in the backseat with April’s head on his lap, saying comforting words to her till they got to the hospital.Back to the present, they listened to the doctor who told them that fortunately, her ribs weren’t broken and the pain is due to the hit. He also inform them that April has nutrition deficiency anemia and he prescribed some supplements.Then he told
"Brother, feed me," April said and Orion's jaw clenched.He looked at her for a few seconds, then he smirked."Nice try. Did you suddenly become left-handed?" Orion asked."Oops, you got me," April lowered her left hand, finally picking up her cutlery with her uninjured right."Silly," Mrs Caddel chuckled."Did you bath in perfume or something?" Beauty asked, making a slight choking sound."Used a little too much, my bad," April replied."It's kinda smelling like the perfume I gave to you," Kelsey said, giving Iver a suspicious look."Thanks for the food, honey. Delicious as always," Mr Caddel complimented."Of course it is, Mr Caddel. We cooked it together, I forgot to mention I once participated in a competition for chefs and I came out first. Funny fact is that I was the youngest competing against people far older than I am. I wasn't surprised though, I mean-"April faked a cough, effectively cutting Kelsey off."So, April," Kelsey started."Oh no. Give me strength, Lord," April mu
Orion blurted out the question in his mind without much thought and April's heart skipped a beat. Her eyes widened and Orion got the final confirmation he wanted.Her guilty silence. He removed his hand from her body and held her other wrist instead."Come," he said, walking her out of Iver's room and to her room."Did you bath in perfume or something?" Orion asked, taking a short sniff."Messed around with Iver's. He punished me by pinching my neck, which still stings by the way. Oh! And that explains why you've been glancing at my neck, you could have just asked," April laughed and Orion shook his head.They got inside and he sat her on the chair that was sideways in front of her desk. He went to her bathroom and located her first aid box. He washed his hands, dried it and took the bandage and pain reliever pill from the box before going back to April.When he got there, she was already eating the second apple that was being applied to her wrist. He snatched it from her and droppe
"Ewwww," April voiced, "you should have told me sooner," she whined.Iver pinched her neck hard and April jumped away from him, her hand flying to her neck and she rubbed it to soothe the pain."What was that for?" she glared at him."Punishment for touching my stuff without permission, little thief," he glared back, "and there's nothing 'ewwww' about it, it smells nice," he added, referring to the perfume."Yeah, it does," April agreed, "but it was given to you by Kelsey, so once again, ewwww.""Why is she coming here anyway? She never agrees to come into the house. She doesn't even like us," April asked, dumping herself on Iver's bed."Where did you get that from?" Iver asked."It's obvious, you are the only one who is oblivious. Love can indeed be blind," April answered."Wait till you are in love," Iver said."I would really love to be. But one thing is certain, I will never be a fool in love," April sassed."Whatever, miss perfect,""You haven't answered my question. Why did you
For this first time ever, Orion noticed all these give-away hints exhibited by April. These observation made him frown and various thoughts ran through his mind. His jaw clenched and he desperately hoped that his hypothesis was wrong, he still needed more evidences to finally establish a theory though.His hand abruptly left her neck and he shifted back, glancing away from April, which broke their eye contact, subsequently breaking the spell-bound bubble April was trapped in.He placed down the empty glass of juice on the counter and walked out of the kitchen. April's hand shoot behind her, gripping the edge of the counter while breathing heavily. She became anxious, the way Orion abruptly left scares her. She wonders if he noticed anything; her abnormal reactions and secret feelings towards him.She wished he didn't, because then it would be a disaster especially since she knew Orion so well. She couldn't go back and continue cooking with her mother, she wasn't stable enough to d
