Days past by quietly, and before everyone knew it, it was almost time for the Academy's annual sports festival.
For Daniel and Sisley, since that time they cut classes, they had grown closer to one another. Daniel love talking to her and like what he was feeling every time that they were together. Sisley was like a breath of warm fresh air after the never-ending rain and cold.
Daniel knew what Sisley felt for him. He was not an idiot. Her beautiful hazelnut eyes, which shone every time that they were together, was enough proof that she likes him. But instead of backing away, he found himself drawn to her innocent face, heart-warming smiles, and caring personality.
Sisley was so different compared to Evangeline's strong, intimidating self. She was the sweet, delicate, cute, and frail type. The type that stirred anyone's manly instincts to protect and cherish for the rest of her life.
In the beginning, Daniel thought Sisley was a boring woman. But after talking and getting to know her, he found himself drawn to her wits and sense of humor.
He was amazed at how caring Sisley truly was. Like every time that they secretly saw each other after school, she would ask him first on how his day was. And if he was hungry, she would feed him with her home cook meal –– well, what was left of it anyway.
He also found her kind personality irresistible. Like the one time he saw her making her way and giving her all in helping a student who was lost. Also, knowing that she was in the health committee, the newspaper club that solely focus writing about advocates and rights, and other organizations that concentrated helping human beings, made him think that she would be a good Queen in the future.
A Queen he very much like to be by his side.
He knew that what he was doing was wrong, but he couldn't stop himself. He couldn't stop himself from meeting with her in secret after school in the garden. He sometimes even skipped lunch or eat little so he had room for her cooking later. He was so caught up with his new found feelings when he was together with her. A happy and warm feeling that filled his heart with joy and excitement.
"Hey."
Daniel blinked. He was pulled out from his thoughts, and he glanced at the stunning woman sitting opposite him.
Raising an eyebrow, Evangeline smiled in a sarcastic way.
"I know that I'm beautiful, but you don't have to stupidly gape at me with mouth hanging open." She teased with her usual indulgent, clear voice.
Daniel's brows briefly crumpled. He couldn't help but compare Evangeline's confident, sarcastic tone to Sisley's warm, cheerful ones.
"It looks like your thoughts are not with me as I can see your brain is scattering all over the place."
Daniel's frown deepened. This was another thing he didn't like about her. The way she said words in a soft voice but mocking tone. The way she spoke like she belittled everyone. Like she was above the rest. Whenever she opened her lips, only conceited words came out from her mouth.
He sighed, suddenly feeling exhausted.
They were at a luxury mall inside a famous Michelin awarded restaurant having their once a week date every weekend. It was not even an hour when they met and he was already losing his patience with her.
