The sun rays hit her face gently, causing her eyes to flutter open. She rose up, yawning and stretching.
"Good morning" Zariel greeted with a big smile.
"Good morning, Ms Jung" she greeted back, rubbing her eyes. "Did I sleep much?"
"Of course you did. It's past nine"
"What?!" She exclaimed, her eyes wide open.
"Oh dear" Zariel came to sit beside her "You must have been badly hurt yesterday. Young master was so mean, wasn't he?" She said and Arianna nodded like a child, with her lower lip poked out.
"I already scolded him, but you can be mad until you're satisfied" he flashed a wicked smile.
"I can?"
"Yes. But don't make it too much" she replied.
"Okay." Her face beamed.
"Alright then. Hurry up and get ready" she stood up , heading to the door "You shouldn't keep him waiting for so long before having breakfast" she went out, closing the door.
*...*....*....*....*
Ryan has been waiting for ages. His hand was on his forehead and his eyes closed. Waiting, eagerly for her.
"Where is she?" he asked, impatient.
"Uh... She should be in her way"
"I'm right over here" Arianna said, walking to the table. She sat opposite him, unlike before when she'll sit beside him. He just watched her, not knowing what to say.
"I'll just leave you two together. Enjoy your meal" she walked out the large dining room. Arianna glanced at him. Moving her eyes, she she took the chopsticks, loading her plate with all the food on the table. She began to eat. What the hell! She's practically ignoring him. His teeth clenched and he started eating.
The silence reigned, which was getting irksome. And he doesn't like it. Normally, she always makes breakfast lively for him.
"So..." he began "did you sleep well?"
"I did" she answered, without sparing him a glance. All she did was stuff her mouth with food.
"Are you still mad at me?" he asked.
"Was I? Haha.." she laughed "I never said I was"
"You don't have to say it" he voice was getting low again. He looked at her, arranging the words in his mouth. "Aria, I'm sorry" he said, with a slightly pitiful look. She lifted her eyes, meeting his while chewing on her food.
"Do you realise this food is delicious?" she said and his jaws dropped. "Hmm... Ms Jung sure knows how to cook. It somehow tastes like.... my mother's" she lowered her eyes, while his mouth closed slowly. He couldn't tell if she was getting hurt again.
"Anyways you should eat. It doesn't look like you've touched your food" she continued.
"Aria, I just said I'm sorry"
"How about you eat first and then we'll talk about that" she gave a warm yet murderous smile. He could only agree.
After they finished their breakfast, Arianna left immediately. Ryan just followed behind her. He'll keep apologizing once they get to his room. But when they reached his door, Arianna walked passed it.
"Aria we're... we're supposed to go in here" he pointed at his door. Arianna turned to him "I just want to get my pet" she said. Her voice a little louder.
"Should I wait for you here or inside?" Wait... Did he just ask that?!
"I'll be back" she walked away.
Ryan pushed his door open and walked in. Going to stand by the window, with his hands behind him. After a while, she walked in, kicking the door close with her leg. She sat on the floor in front of a couch, keeping the tank on the table in front of her. She put on her ear buds, just to anger him. Ryan walked to her, he sat on the couch and crossed his arms. Now what should he say?
He looked at her. She was humming a song, while staring at the fish in awe.
"Awwwn... aren't you the cutest?" She said as she touched the glass. A warm smile on her face.
"Aria?" He called. But she never heard "Aria...." she still didn't hear him. This time he came closer and tapped her shoulder gently.
She turned to him, taking just one out of her ear "Yes?"
"Aria, you've been.... ignoring me" he said "I've been apologizing to you and you're not saying anything"
"Oh... You have" she nodded "But.... I don't forgive so easily, Ryan"
So now she's using his words against him, huh? How nice!
"Can I have a time alone with my friend?" His brows creased. "Your friend? Who?" The last time he checked he was the only friend she has in this room. Who else is here?
"My koifish" she answered "I haven't given it a name yet. They're so many options in my head"
"Oh now you won't answer me but focus on a fish?!" He yelled. Arianna glared at him, her lips parting. Wasn't he the one who said he wouldn't yell at her anymore? She turned away and took the buds out.
"Is it more important than me? Huh?!" She didn't say a word "Do I have to keep begging for just a little thing?!" Arianna stood to leave.
"I'm still talking to you!" He grasped her hand, pulling her back. But then, he fell backwards, his head resting on the couch's arm, with her falling on him.
*Ba Dum*... *Ba Dum* ... *Ba Dum*
He could hear both their heartbeats, which was uneven. His both hands were beside her, clenched into fists. Her hands which rested on his chest had clutched his shirt in nervousness. Their eyes were locked in each other, their gaze getting deep by the second. His hand itched to wrap itself around her and just hold her there.
Arianna realised they're not suppose to be in this position, so she rose up hastily, falling to the other side. But the thing is, the hook on her shirt got hooked up on the silver necklace around his neck. Getting them stuck together. So when she rose up, Ryan followed, and now he's on top of her.
"What are you doing?" She asked
"I'm not doing anything" he said, but then a mischievous smirk crept to his face. "Anyways I like this position"
