REALLY?

Mira felt pretty bad for stressing Zamiel and Beebah. "It's not her fault she has feelings for a friend". Thought Mira to herself. But amidst passing by Beebah, she saw ' her flash her a deadly glare.

And this... this gave Mira an extra privilege to continue to be naughty. Mira knew deep inside her that she enjoys tormenting Beebah, and if she doesn't stop soon, she might get addicted to teasing the girl.

" Please lead the way, we don't have all day". She said this while passing by Beebah, sounding a bit upset about her unprofessional attitude.

" Sure, this way, ma'am". Having no choice but to give up and shut her air hole, Beebah led the couple to the dining table.

It didn't take long before they finished their dinner but to Beebah it felt like a lifetime because she had to play the role of a butler, since she's attending to the crown prince of Drenil.

When they were done with their food, Beebah once again had no choice but to help tidy up the dining area. Well, she got what she wanted, just like a Yoruba saying states

" Eni ba wawa kuwa ari ri kuri". Meaning: (one who looks for what isn't missing will find what he shouldn't have seen.) Thought Mira to herself, staring at poor Beebah tidying.

" Poor girl, she just had to stress herself all in the name of love, to a married man at that. Proceeded with Mira's thoughts.

" I mean, why would I keep breaking myself all in the name of love? Poor girl, I won't even be here forever." Mira kept on with her thoughts, staring at Beebah stressing with tidying the dining table, all in the name of catching a glimpse of her crush, which turned out to be an eyesore event she had to see.

Mira felt pity for her, cause she could never imagine such happening to her, she'd have done worse maybe.

Sometimes Mira can be a pain in the butt, but on a closer look she's emotional and soft as a baby's bottom. She acts tough and heartless, but she is not close to being such.

" Let me help you with that". The words flew out of her mouth without she even knowing it, which in turn earned her two rotating head.

For Zamiel, it was an unexpected stare, while for Beebah was a piercing glare, which could make a person convulse due to fear. But Mira didn't even shook the slightest.

" What?". Beebah questioned, even though she heard what Mira said.

" Let me help you with that". Repeated Mira, this time standing up from her seat and paced towards her nemesis.

But this didn't earn her a good impression from Beebah, which she wasn't looking for either. Because of Beebah, it felt as if it was being rubbed on her face; she was a servant, and it'd be better to know her place. With this thought, her facial expression worsened.

" Don't misunderstand me, i just wanna help". Mira added collecting the plates from Beebah and walked towards the direction they came from but stopped midway, turning back to her audience. " Do you mind showing me the way to the kitchen".

" Sure." She replied quickly regaining her composure. Two can play this game. She said the rest in her mind. " This way" , they both left leaving the main subject which is now the formal subject.

( The plates is now the subject). And all he could do was just sit down there quietly like a doll.

********************************†*******†****

" You think you are smart". As soon as they were out of Zamiel's sight, Mira heard Beebah say this. While she was trying to be considerate, this idiot over here is still fawning over someone else's husband.

Even though he's really not her husband, still it doesn't feel right for a girl to be in love with a married man, talkless of chasing after him or even giving his wife attitude.

" What?". Mira squeaked, throwing her a questioning look.

" Don't play coy with me, i know what you're trying to do". Beebah sneered while still leading the way.

" Coy?, What do you mean coy?. All I'm trying to do is just help you and nothing else". Mira replied as if stating a fact.

" Keep your help to yourself". She said, stopping her pace, turning towards Mira, and once again giving Mira the death glare. " E

We are here" . She added out of the blue. Even Mira didn't notice where they were until Beebah said so, since she was so carried away with her thoughts.

" Thanks". Mira said on her way to the sink.

" Excuse me?".

" I said thanks". This time, she craned her neck a little, flashing Beebah her signature smile.

" Whatever". The latter scoffed, walking out on Mira. And this attitude earned a smile from Mira.

**********************************************

As soon as Beebah left Mira in the kitchen, she quickly went for her reward. ZAMIEL.

It took Zamiel a while to digest the scene that had just gone before him. He didn't even realize he was alone until one of his men came to him.

" Your highness. The skinny-looking man said, bowing slightly. He was blonde, he looked pretty to be a man, coupled with his tall height. If it were to be a modern day, he would be a model.

"The preparation has been carried out..He continued when he was signaled by Zamiel to speak and paused for any interference but came none so he continued...

"We don't have enough expenses for a carriage.." he stopped once more for an idea but once again none came. The expenses could only fund minors.

"The horses".

" Hmm". The pretty-looking man said, bursting into a deep laughter.

Ha ha ha ha, I got you there, Zami. The gay looking man said, rubbing his aching tummy.

" What?". Asked Zamiel with all the world's seriousness. Not even sparing a glance at the intruder.

" Nothing.. nothing, i just came here to discuss something". The man with the blonde hair said. He looked too pretty to be man.

" Came to discuss something, or came to tease me, Ramon?. Zamiel asked, turning his attention to the pretty-looking man.

" What?, Me?". The man named Ramon said taking his seat beside Zamiel. Facing him.

" I have something to do". Zamiel informed, about to take his leave, but the pretty looking man stopped him.

" You are not gonna leave me here, are you?. He raised his eyebrows, looking at Zamiel with those goo-goo, doggy-looking eyes of his

And Zamiel gave him the "Seriously?" look. Having no choice, he had to put his bottom back on his seat.

" So? How did it go?. Ramon asked, throwing Zamiel a gossiping look.

" Nothing". Replied Zamiel dryly.

" Nothing?!. Ramon raised his voice a bit as if he was mad about not getting the required report. Nothing.. he continued. Don't tell me, since all these days, 1,2,3. He said, counting his fingers like a kid. 3days!. He said stretching forth three of his fingers. 3days and you get nothing. Seriously?!". This time he said throwing himself on the chair he was sitting on.

" But you know... He continued. If I were to be the one, I'd have gone far with her.... so, what happened aside from "nothing"?

" I....i". Zamiel choked.

" What?!. Thought Ramon. He flashed Zamiel an "Unbelievable!". Look.

Because as long as he had known Zamiel, he had never seen this guy blush or feel slightly shy about stuff. And here he was thinking he knew every nook and cranny of his friend.

Ramon is a childhood friend of Zamiel, one of his closest friends. More like the secretary of Zamiel. They've been together for more than a decade now. At times Ramon can be very annoying, he is more talkative than beign serious unlike Zamiel.

He's very popular among girls with his gorgeous looks. And the funniest part of it is that he's not talkative when he's around girls. If he were to be given a rank of guys who went out with girls most, he'd be given the number one rank.

"Wait!!!.. he screamed which in turn made Zamiel's facial expression take a complete u turn. What just happened". He questioned.

" What?". Zamiel questioned back.

" Did you... did you just blush?". Asked Ramon, behaving like a child. Now holding on to either side of Zamiel's face. Anyone who walks in would think they're both in a relationship or something, and this was what welcomed Mira.

Back in the kitchen, Mira was washing the dishes alone.

" Weird, she thought. I thought ancient kitchen should be crowded with servants, well guess they don't have the money to afford such".

She turned back cleaning her hand with a dirty rag. " That was stressful she said, no borehole. What isn't here?". She asked no one in particular and left the kitchen.

She was very well aware that Beebah left the kitchen as soon as they got here. And she didn't think about it either, but the thought hit her about what she might be doing. And she quickly increased her walking pace.

But what welcomed her wasn't what she was expecting
