**MAIDS QUARTERS **
*PEARL & MIA'S ROOM*
" You've been smiling all day" Pearl asked gathering her things.
Actually Fred had asked her to move into his room and ordered some maids to assist her.
But she declined their help and decided to do it herself with the aid of Mia.
" Jasper popped my cherie last night" Mia said with a blush.
Pearl paused for a moment trying to get what she was saying before she finally gasped.
" Oh my gahd, so soon, I mean how did it happen, was it enjoyable, how did you feel, oh my gahd Mia you aren't a kid anymore " Pearl gushed and teased her, ruffling her hair.
Mia frowned before hitting her hand away lightly.
" Stop doing that only Jasper has the right to do so, and why do you say I ain't a kid anymore, what do you mean, that I have been acting childish, c'mon I'm not" Mia pouted.
Pearl chuckled before holding her hands
" Am so happy for you Mia, you have gotten over Mike and moved on with Jasper who I'm sure you love and he loves you back, you guys make a great couple, I should be expecting your marriage date and my nieces and nephews" Pearl wiggled her brows teasingly.
Mia face flushed and she smiled but didn't say anything.
" Anyways tonight Fred would be telling us our plans on how to deal with Godfrey, I can't wait to get rid of that rival out of our lives"
" I know our plans would work, you have to trust Fred"
" Of course I trust him, I'm just scared something might happen to him" Pearl said worriedly
" You don't have to be scared okay, Fred is strong enough to protect himself and you too, and not like he would be the only one going to that mission, the clan members would also take Godfrey down together with us, trust in your love for him okay"
Pearl sighed and nodded then smiled.
" I've heard you my special adviser, gonna miss sleeping here with you"
" Me too"
" I would also advised you to meet Ebeniz tonight"
" Thats right I would"
They continued gisting and giggling.

★GARDEN★
Ebeniz sat on the bench available watching the beautiful sight of the flowers swaying due to the breeze.
She was so lost in thought that she didn't notice someone sitting beside her.
Mike looked at Ebeniz state and sighed.
" Hey" Mike called and tapped her on the shoulder lightly.
Ebeniz gasped and turned to him in surprise.
" Mike?.. "
" Yes its me, you were lost in thoughts when I came" he explained softly.
" ooh" she said simply before facing her front.
" What are you thinking about" Mike asked.
Ebeniz looked at him to meet his burning gaze she turned away and answered,
"Nothing serious, I bet you must have heard about me and my sisters"
Mike sighed
" Yeah you are right, I was shocked at first but later reminiscing on past memories,
I remembered always seeing Pearl's face whenever I look at you, now I realize why, that's because you guys look alike even if you aren't identical"
"Yeah… she changed alot after years of departing with each other, that's why sometimes I feel I know her before,
Even when Aria was bullying her then I had the urge to go over and protect her, but I stopped myself, not knowing why i was pulled to her, but now i understand, it's the sister's bond"
Ebeniz said with a sardonic smile remembering the past, though she never got close to her, but she always hid behind walls watching Pearl.
" So what about Emma, are you forgiving her? " Mike asked carefully.
Ebeniz kept quiet not saying anything.
" Why are you suddenly worried about me, I thought you don't like seeing me around" Ebeniz asked looking at him.
Mike also looked at her, it was his turn to look away.
" Its not like I hate you or something, just that I was really hurt when Pearl left me for Fred, I thoroughly loved her then and wanted to even fight against Fred for her, but I guess we aren't made for each other, she fits perfectly with Fred so I let them be"
" And you, I'm sorry for hurting your feelings then, I know I don't deserve your forgiveness but I'm ready to take responsibility for that Ebeniz"
He took her hands in his caressing it softly.
Ebeniz looked at him in the eye.
" Give me a chance let me take responsibility on you, I'm not doing this out of pity, but out of my own choice, teach me how to love again, to love another woman that isn't my ex-crush, I'm ready to love you back" Mike said sincerely looking into her eyes.
Ebeniz looked stunned not knowing what to say.
Like seriously, Mike telling her all this was a dream come true but also surprising.
" Uhmm, are you sure of what you are saying, i mean are you saying all this because you feel you have to take responsibility… "
He shut her up with a peck on the lips and smiled.
" I'm very sure about this Ebeniz I won't be saying this if I'm not, teach me how to love you"
Tears rolled out of her eyes as she looked at him.
" Ehh, ahh don't cry I don't like seeing you in tears, I get to know it moves me, I am here to clean away your tears, clear away your sorrows, be the shoulder you lay your head on, i will be right beside you anytime you need me" He said passionately with a smile.
He leaned closer and pulled her into a passionate kiss.
Ebeniz looked stunned at first before giving in and kissing him back.
Their kiss got hot before the cough of someone interrupted their moments.
They turned and saw Pearl smiling at them.
Ebeniz cheek flushed not expecting their first meeting to be like this.
" Hey Mike, sorry I interrupted I guess I have to go" she turned but Mike stopped her and turned to Ebeniz.
" i will give you both time " he kissed her forehead before leaving them.
Ebeniz bowed her head, blushing.
" Hey" Pearl called lightly walking to her till she went to her front.
Ebeniz looked up at her.
Before Pearl could say anything, Ebeniz pulled her into a tight passionate hug.
" Sis"
