Chapter 6

EUPHORIA'S POV

Everything was prefectly fine. People are having fun and I was in a table for two along with Sapphiro far from other guest but a good spot to see everything that happens. Sapphiro never left my side. If I want something he asks a waiter to get it and as of now we're done eating dinner. He told me lots and lots of stories about himself as part of me being comfortable with him.

He was fun to be with. He was cheerful he was joyful. And his attire suits him perfect.

"Sapphiro. If you don't mind may I ask a question?"

"You're already asking me a question Euphoria." He said then he chuckled I frowned at him

"Just kidding. of course you may. " He added trying to stop himself from laughing again.

"You're crazy. but seriously, You're fun, you're adorable, you're hansome too. how come you couldn't get yourself a girlfriend?" With the question his idiotic smile faded and turned into a serious face. I saw the hurt in his eyes.

"Actually I got a girlfriend that lasted for 6 years. guess what? exactly on our 7th anniversary I caught her cheating on me. but naahh. I was through with that."He showed a sad smile and drinked his wine straight.

"Sorry." I apologized and tapped his back he held my hand and smiled. It was indeed a warm smile.

"I'll get you some coffee. You looked a bit drunk already. I don't want another car accident upon me" I said

I was about to walk away when he grabbed my hand.

"Why?" I asked

"I'll go with you. I know people with cherophobia was often attacked by anxiety when a place is much crowded" He said "I'll be fine. I promise. there was no other person in that area aside from the waiter." I looked straight in his worried eyes

"Let's just say that this is a part of me trying to conquer my fear." I added. I felt his hand let go of mines giving me the permission to go over the drink booth.

As I waited for Sapphiro's coffee a lady sudenly spilled her wine into my dress. I looked at her but she just smirked Clara quickly got beside me and helped me wipe my dress.

"Leona! Why'd you do that?" Clara asked hysterically.

"Why are you even here?" She added.

"Oh. Sorry Miss, Sorry Clara. I didn't mean to." She let out a smile I was quite sure it was fake smile

"What's happening?" Sapphiro popped out of nowhere. I looked at him but I was surprised to see how cold his gaze was... What's wrong?

"Oh. Sapphiro, You see she's not looking on her way that's why I accidentally spilled my wine at her. I didn't mean it." The lady said.

I immediately opened my mouth to defend myself. Me? not lookin' in my way? She's a damn liar

"Excuse me? You were the one not looking at your way. I was just quietly standing here waiting for the coffee I asked but you suddenly spilled it to me then you smirked." I said and rolled my eyes to fight back from her shitty stares.

"Clara, Could you lend Euphoria something to wear?" Clara nodded and took me inside the house leaving the commotion made the stupid brat

"Oh, Clara what happened to your friend's dress?" I think it was their Mom. I greeted her hello which she nicely returned with a hug.

"Mom, She was the one I'm telling you. Brother's patient."

"Oh. the lady with the Cherophobia? Darling I hope you'll be fine soon" she gave me another hug

"By the way, I'm Pearl Amethyst Bien while this is my husband Duke Ramon Bien. We're Clara Celestia and Sapphiro Empreror's parents"

"Nice meeting you, I'm Euphoria Frostella Del Paz" I slightly bowed my head

"Such a pretty girl. For sure you and my Emperor would look wonderful together." Aunt Pearl said as she gracefully laughed. Sapphiro smile like his Mom, but he looks like his dad

"Mom, Euphoria needs to change her clothes, Leona spilled some wine at her. why was she even here? I didn't invited her" Clara said

"I invited her Celestia. Now let Euphoria change her clothes" Aunt Pearl apologetically to Clara

I followed Clara on her room and I watched her as she rummaged in her closet looking for something I could wear

"Aysh.. That Leona. She even have the guts to show up in my party? psh" I heard her rant

"Clara, What's with Leona?" I asked

"That slutty bitch was my Brother's ex. she cheated on him. I hate her" She answered

I remember Sapphiro's voice. saying "Actually I got a girlfriend that lasted for 6 years. guess what? exactly on our 7th anniversary she cheated on me" How could he be inlove with that kind of a brat? psh.

"Euphoria let's go back to the venue." Clara said after I changed my dress spilled with wine which was now in a paperbag

We came back to the venue. My eyes automatically searched for Sapphiro and when I found him, Our eyes met. He started walking towards me and embraced me in a hug.

"Sorry for what Leona did." He whispered. My body moved as if they were alive and returned his hug. What the hell is happening with me? I quickly released myself in his hug

"I'm alright. I'm fine nothing to worry about."

"Let's get you home" He said then he held my hands and pulled me inside his car He's in pain. I could feel it.

"Let's drop by at a park. My favorite park" I told him. He just look at me as if he was processing what I've said.

after a couple of seconds he nodded and started to drive. The ambiance was obviously dead between us nobody wants to talk. Maybe it's my turn to speak myself out.

"I used to sing before. I always join singing contests but then one time I made it into the Championship on a big-time contest. I won. I was with Sephron, Dad and Eureka. I was so happy that day. It was so fun, I was standing on the seventh cloud. It was so much happinesss that I felt, Until a raging uncontrollable ten wheeler truck was heading towards us. Dad tried not to bump over the raging truck but we ended up hitting a tree" I told him and he just kept listening

"I heard how Dad called my Mom's name. How Eureka screamed and I saw how Sephron covered me. It left me so much pain. " I added trying to held my tears from falling.

"Since that day I forbid myself from singing I never wanted to hear myself singing ever again." I gazed at him and he looked shocked.

"That's.. the reason you feared happiness. You're on a trauma for being happy." He said as he parked the car. I nodded as tears started falling. He quickly tooked out his handkerchief the handkerchief he lent me the day we met.

"This again?" I asked as I dry my tears. He chuckled and nodded

"By the way.. Clara told me about Leona. Just think of this, Sapphiro. You we're lucky she gave you another change to meet a better, Rightful and deserving person for you." I said and pat his hair making him laugh

"What do you think of me? a dog that you can pet whenever you wanted?" He said jokingly.

"You're a certified happy pill Euphoria. You know how to make a person feel happy. That's why I swear to make to feel happy and to conquer your fear, Euphoria" He said and he smiled gently at me.

This was the first time that I felt good with a psychiatrist. He really was a good doctor.
