Hazel wanted to follow Rafael back to the room to see what he would do with her in the past when she felt a strong push.
“Hey.. are you going to sleep all day?” the voice was impatient and full of urgency that Hazel was forced to open her eyes. Her dazed eyes instantly met Anne’s worried eyes that looked troubled and she frowned.
“What happened here?” asked hazel as she looked around. Her visions of the past when she was sleeping of have anything linked with the past was getting common. So, she was not confused about them anymore.
She just wanted to see what happened next? How did they both feel in love when there was so much heat and indifference in his eyes.
Alas! She could not now as she could feel the resentment in the eyes of Anne.
“Did something happen?” asked hazel clearing her head as she rubbed her forehead and then ran a hand in her hair.
“Do you even care? You are always either flirting with Rafael or fighting with others and burning things and when you have nothing to do as above, you are sleeping your mind off!” Anne looked at Hazel and then rolled her eyes as she sat on the other side of bed where Rafael was sleeping before.
She swore that she woke up early.
“I do! Now tell me what happened?” asked Hazel again as she wrapped her arms around Anne’s shoulders and leaned on her.
She knew that even if Anne was angry with her, she would not stay angry for long.
Anne sighed. She wanted the advice too much that she could not stay angry for too long.
“That man.. The new assistant from the council..” she paused as she did not know what to say.
Her hands instantly touched her lips and her eyes flickered dark.
“What about him?” hazel tilted her head. She had felt a strange vibe coming from him when their eyes met for the fist time but she brushed the thought off since he behaved normal after that but now that Anne had mentioned it, the man could be faking it.
Dark thoughts stated not form in her mind that she did not notice hoe Anne was blushing suddenly.
“That fool said that he likes me.” said Anne when she felt the face of hazel was turning darker as if the man would be the enemy. She did not like that thoughts, since she felt that the man was kind.
“He proposed to you?” the eyes of hazel widened so much. She had never thought in her dreams that Anne was proposed by that man.
Only then did hazel notice the blush and glow on her face and she did not need to ask her to know what she felt about it.
“Wow! So.. how far have you gone? Did you kiss him or more? You know if you need any advice, you are at the right place.” hazel jumped on her place and clapped her hands with excitement.
Her face that dotting laughter that even her eyes were crinkling and filled with mirth. Anne finally smiled.
She felt a lot better as she did not know how hazel would react. Though her family was still alive. For Anne, only Hazel was her family.. As for her mother in the prison.. She did not know if she would even want to know about her love life.
She jolted out of her thoughts when she felt that hazel was tugging her clothes.
“Yes, we did kiss but it was not that passionate like you. It was just touching of the lips. And this was enough to faint the man.” she sighed. That man was really a sy one.. “It would only be a miracle if he moved beyond that!” she took a deep sigh that hazel looked at her with amusement.
“Pat pat! I hope that you will encourage him to go further. And take my advice, drunk man have more courage. You can bring him to the cellar here and feed a lot of wine.” she said with a meaningful smile on her face but Anne just flung her hands away.
“There is still time to it. I am not even sure if i want to move forward.” hazel’s eyes narrowed at Anne’s face who was blooming like a fresh rose after a long day of rain.
She was glowing like a teenager who had her first crush. Yet she said that!
“Then, let him be. I know many men who are more handsome and richer than him. They are even kind so they will better suit you. I will..” Anne frowned. Her face turned darker and she jerked hands of hazel away.
“I am not taking another men into consideration. How can you even say that when i have just been kissed!” grumbled Anne only to realize that she had fallen into the vicious trap of her sister who was laughing and looking at her with amused eyes.
“Sigh! Alright, i think that i am serious but i want to take it slow.” she said with a look of defeat on her face when Hazel nodded and hugged her again.
“My elder sister is finally growing up into a woman!” she laughed again as the sentence sounded so wrong. But Hazel was genuinely happy about the girl.
Rafael came out of the bathroom and stumbled upon the scene when his eyes turned darker. He didn’t like how they were embraced into the arms of each other.
“I want you to give promotion to Declan and transfer him here permanently.” said Hazel in a dominating voice when Anne pinched her waist as if asking her to shut her mouth.
Rafael raised a brow at that..
“That boy did not need help. He will grow strong with that outspoken mouth of his. But why do you want to help him?” The thought did not sit well with Rafael who got jealous easily.
“Because he is going to be my brother-in -law.”
