Chapter ten

The whole world had ceases to exist, and the only thing that mattered was us.

We walked back to our house, still hand in hand. The rest of the group had already longed returned, because we came back on foot and they on horse.

" There, there, the love birds, hand in hand with a bouquet of flowers, how sweet" Nadia teased as soon as we walked in.

I was quick to disentangle my hands from his. " What are you saying, you speak too much, where is Rafael" I said trying to change the whole subject of conversation.

" Why are you changing the subject huh, Rafael and Newman are in room having guys time, cayo, would you please join them and let us have our little girls time as well" Celestia said fluttering her eyes.

" Sure, have a nice time" he said and gave me a side hug before walking in, and my eyes and heart followed him all the way till I heard a snap.

" Ms Luna, where are you lost, huh" Nadia said snapping her hands in front of my face.

" I wasn't lost, I was just, uhm, tired, my body is sore from the ride" I said giving excuses, what else shall I do, admit.

" You are a lost case, come with me" Celestia said and drag me to the room. They threw me into the bathroom to take a bath saying I stink, seriously?.

Anyways I just sighed and let the water envelope my body. As I bathe, the only thing that occupied my mind was cayo, his touch, his eyes, his smile, his voice, his demeanor, and our shared moments.

I didn't realize I wasted 30 mins in the washroom, gosh!

I came out with only a towel on my body, and I saw Nadia and Celestia seated, they seemed to have ordered pizza, chicken wings and coke.

" Hurry up and dress up, we are starving" Nadia said throwing her hands in the air like a little child throwing tantrums.

I picked up a simple cotton dressed and did a messy bun before I jumped and sat near them.

" Let's dive in" Celestia said handing me a bottle of coke while Nadia opened the pizza and chicken wings from their packages.

We immediately started feasting on the food and I realized just how hungry I was.

" So be honest with us, we are your best friends, your one and only, if you don't tell us the truth, it means you don't trust us" Nadia said, looking up at me.

"The truth about what?" I asked taking a bite of the chicken wing.

" You and cayo. What's going on between you two, are you two secretly dating or what?" Celestia asked.

I stopped chewing mid way and looked at the two of them and they started right back at me. I swallowed down the meat and tried to lie, but my mouth couldn't move so I could only shake my head in denial.

" Why are you shaking your head like a lizard, huh" Nadia dissed.

" No, no, we are not dating, you are reading too much into things" I said finally finding my voice.

" Agreed you aren't dating, but you two love eachother and that's a fact" Nadia said.

" No, I mean I don't know for him" I replied and took a sip of the coke.

" It means you do indeed have feelings for him" Celestia said.

" Am not sure if I do have feelings for him, but I am drawn to him and that's a fact. I feel safe around him, and nothing in the world matters when I am with him" I confessed.

" Awwwwn" the two said in sync and I gave them a look that was saying, ' what are you awwning about'.

" We always knew it, remember what we told you the first day?, it's now your reality, and I think that cayo also has a soft spot for you" Celestia said.

" Why do you think so? And yes, I admit you two were right, but I can't just shamelessly go and confess to a guy whose feelings am unsure of, what if I ruin our friendship" I said worried about the possibility of ruining the close friendship I have with him over silly feelings.

" First thing first, we believe he likes you because he treats you differently, with so much adorement, love, respect and care, he goes out of his way for you. Secondly, no one asked you to proposed, you just need more alone time to understand his feelings" Nadia replied.

" Maybe you are right, but we need more opportunities together with that been said." I replied.

" I have a plan, but wait for tomorrow, and you would see for yourself, now tell us all about your sweet cute moments and what made you fall harder" Celestia teased.

I blushed a deep shade of pink as I went to recount every single details with them and they just kept awwning and fan girling, it was relieving to finally recount my memories and emotions to someone.

We gisted some more and later on fell asleep on top of eachother.

I slept in till I felt the sun rays hit my face. I yawned lazily and opened my eyes only to find myself alone on the bed, Celestia and Nadia were nowhere to be seen.

I didn't read much to it and decided to freshen up. As soon as I was ready, I decided to go and see what was for breakfast and what Nadia and Celestia were up to.

As I walked out of the room, Celestia and Nadia also walked into the front door. " Where were you two so early in the morning" I asked but they just winked at me and headed for the dining.

The gus were almost done with their breakfast when we joined them.

" Guys, we have an announcement" Celestia said clearing up her throat.

" Okay, what is it about?" Newman asked.

" We had a word with Mr Signor. We had agreed for the class to be divided into 10 groups. We all want to experience different things, we are all here for different reasons, so we are allowed to get a group experience" Nadia explained.

" So it means it's gonna be two to a group?" Rafael asked.

" Yes, that's what it's gonna be, and it's no surprise that you and Nadia would be on the same team, as for my teammate, I choose Newman, that leaves cayo and Luna, so it's a natural team for them" Celestia said and now I knew what their plan was.

" What, but...." I started before I was mercilessly cut off by Nadia.

" Hope you don't have a problem right cayo" she asked looking at him.

" No, I don't, I mean as long as Luna doesn't" he answered.

" Well that's it then, after breakfast, every group can choose their activity and map location for the day" Nadia said seating down and I just look at them wide eyed.
