Chapter Eighteen.

Himari’s POV.

-

“Good morning, Himari. Rise and shine.”

“Oh my gosh! C-Ciel” I gasp, bolting up at once, and Ciel gets up to pedal back in his giggles.

I shyly fist the comforter against my chest, feeling my cheeks getting infested with invisible flames. What a way to come wake someone up. Did he sneak in? How long has he been watching me sleep?

“Hey, don’t go cooking up weird things in that pretty head. I only just got here seconds ago, to invite you shopping” Ciel supplies and I snap my head to look up at him.

He gives me a nod, proceeding sheepishly, “That’s of course if it’s okay with you to join me”.

I suck in a tight breath as silence drapes between us. The party is in the evening, so I guess he just wants me to accompany him to get an outfit. I can do that much.

“Why not? I’ll quickly go freshen up and join you at the hall” I’m getting off the bed, feeling the ring of heat laying over my shoulders and giving it a rub, careful not to stir Oriel up.

Ciel looks joyfu
