Lovers

After being stopped by Mrs. Kim, Turilla followed the older lady to her room downstairs. It was odd for the little girl to see her caretaker dress in a white gown.

"I heard you met my big brother." Mrs. Kimberly initiated. "He's- I mean She's a good woman. Stood up to me whenever I was downgraded."

"Mademoiselle is an amazing person," Turilla said smiling showing her adorable crooked teeth.

"She built many different places, all from scratch and also right after her powers manifested. I'm so proud of her." Mrs. Kim said on the verge of tearing. "Our family disowned us and so while I worked I allowed my baby sister to focus on what she wants to do in life. I never thought that she would be this amazingly successful."

"Wow~, it's amazing how she built the place from scratch but you mentioned that your family disowned you. What happen?" Turilla asked confused by the fact her caregiver's parents would disown their only children.

'All made from scratch? Right after power manifestation, she definitely elite.'

At night the children's quarters looked very long and were almost pitch black. If it weren't for the caregiver's oil lamp Turilla would have fallen from the staircase. As they kept walking down the creaky stairs, an illumination of light was shown coming from the dining room.

"Well, my baby brother became my baby sister and me….I fell in love." Mrs. Kimberly said as they descended the last step. In the third table to the right was Mama. "With the most incredible person, I ever met."

'Dang, so even a scary ripper can fall in love" Thought to herself.

"Who are you calling a scary ripper?" Mrs. Kimberly said in a screaming whisper.

"Oh, you heard that, hehe?" she said laughing to herself when Mrs. Kim gave a small hit on to her head.

Mrs. Kim's eyes had a soft look as she stared at Mama. She could never think that this ever so strict person could ever look at another person with those eyes. It was like she was looking at her world.

"Oh, whatever are the two of you doing here this late at night?" Said, Mama.

Looking up from her papers at making eye contact with Ms. Kimberly. Seeming like she was staring for too long looked in embarrassment, failing to hide her blush when the short pink hair girl noticed it even with the dim lighting.

"Mama. What are you doing?" Turilla said smiling to herself as she trotted to her caregiver she calls Mama.

Partly she smiled because she saw the person whom she loved the most and who adored her. The other reason she was smiling is that she knew the one person who didn't like her as much, their secret. She knew who Mrs. Kimberly was in love with.

"Nothing much, sweetie. Just reviewing some papers." Mama replied. "How about you guys? It's so late and Turilla you have the exams tomorrow."

"ah, I wanted to talk to Turilla. I didn't think that you would be here." Mrs. Kimberly said almost sounding in a flustered tone.

"Hey, I wanna give it to her too," Mama said pouting. Getting up from her seat, she walked up to the taller woman in glasses and the shorter plump girl in pink.

"Turilla you go wait for me in my room in the staff quarters. Third one to the right. I need a word with Ms. Claire." Mrs. Kimberly said trying to keep Turilla away from her conversation with Ms. Claire.

Soon as Turilla couldn't be seen, thinking that she was gone; Mrs. Kim embraced the other chubby lady in a tight, loving hug. Caressing her hair and giving her a light peck on to her forehead.

"Sorry to disturb you, my love." Mrs. Kimberly said.

"I still want to give 'it' to Turilla with you. Pwweeez."

"Haha, how did you become so frigging adorable? My pouty baby." Mrs. Kim said laughing.

Little did the two lovers realize that Turilla was watching them before she quickly left since it became too cringe and after she felt like she was peeking on their alone time.

"Hm…. I'm not sure. Maybe ever since you gave me first kiss." She replied gazing into her lover's eyes. "Mi Amor."

"Unless you are almost done with work, do you want to take a small break? We can tell Turilla together and then I'll make some hot chocolate." Mrs. Kimberly said giving a light kiss to Ms. Claire. "Hm?"

"Yes, I'm sure tired with these papers. I love your hot cocoa. Thank you Mi Chiquilla." She said giving another kiss. "Turilla must be waiting."

"Noooo. One more kiss." The stern lady said which was completely out of the personality she shows people. She then proceeded to shower her lover in kisses.

Switching off the oil lamp on the table the two lovers went to the staff quarters to where they found a girl waiting patiently roaming around the room. Soon as she saw them she quickly sat down on the white-sheeted bed.

"Sorry for taking so long, Turilla." Ms. Claire said glaring at Mrs. Kimberly.

"Haha, it's fine," Turilla responded. "You two make a lovely couple. It's amazing how to complete opposites you guys are but still, it's sweet."

"C-co- YOU KNOW WE ARE DATING?!"

"Well~ I had a hunch. You just confirmed it for me."

"You cheeky girl," Mama said proudly. "I raised you well."

"Hehe. So…um…. What is it that you guys wanted to tell me?" She replied impatiently as the two sat beside her on the large bed.

"Well… You see…" Mama began. "We….uh…"

"Want me to say it?" Mrs. Kim asked giggling and caressing her flustered, adorable lover's hair.

Speechless at what the site in front of her, Turilla sat there staring at how loving the two lovers were to each other. To Tri, it was like there was a switch on Mrs. Kimberly. Loving only towards her lover and strict towards the children (Turilla).

Only after Ms. Claire gave a nod, did Mrs. Kimberly start.

"As I said previously that I might know about the flashes of memories that you keep getting, I apologize in advance if you feel like we keep a lot from you."

"Oh yeah, about that what did you find that could help me? It's so hard sleeping at night cause of them."

"These" Ms. Claire said walking over to the wall of books and bending to the last shelf. In it, she took out a little bit bigger than an average book and a small box. She then handed it over to Turilla in a very nervous manner.

Since it was quite dark the colors and symbols of the book weren't clearly visible.

"What is this?"

"These were lying next to you when Mi Corazon found you." Mrs. Kimberly said putting a hand on Turilla's cheek as a method of comfort.

"Yay. You are getting better." Ms. Claire said excitedly.

"Really? I can't remember."

As soon as Turilla touched the book when Mama handed it to her, a glow of golden light shown around her. It illuminated the whole room for a few seconds then it died down. Mama and Mrs. Kimberly were left stunned at the sight that they beheld. Neither of them was able to do such a thing.
