So now, sit back and enjoy this chapter!
It was a bright and scorching afternoon, the bright afternoon sun that rose to the top of the sky shone its merciless warm rays into the room. It was a perfect day for a picnic at Amour Caméllia Couleur where the beautiful camellias are in full bloom. Ah~! What a magnificent day!
But in a certain mansion, a certain selfish perverted little master just refuse to wake up, not to say, to enjoy such an elegant day outside.
/Raito's POV/
'Camellia! Shut the curtains! Who gave you the permission to open them? I am still sleepy!' I whined as I tuck my blankets so that it can shield my head from the blinding sunlight.
'If you continue to sleep, you will be late for school! Hurry up and get up now!' The orange head maid demanded as she tried to pull the blanket out of my grip. I had thoughts of dragging her in my bed and have some fun activities with her but soon gave up the idea. After all, she is going to roundhouse kick me in the stomach again if I pull some tricks on her. Sigh, why did I hire such a troublesome maid. Yes, I know I hired her to protect a certain someone. But that certain someone is already gone, yet she still insist that she belongs to that certain someone and refuse to answer to my calls. But even if she refuses, she should have fallen for my seductive charm. I mean, usually, when I wink at girls, they would immediately leap into my arms and let me have my way. Just not this petty little maid. She is gifted with such elegance and beauty. I mean, she have such thick wavy orange hair that frames her delicate small face. And those deep sea-blue eyes just screams 'eat me, do me however you want!' But she just won't let me see her make expressions that would make her look even more attractive. All she just shows me is a scowl, eyes full of hate and sometimes pity. Who does she think she is? She is just a beauty in vain.
'I believe I am Camellia, Lady Mio's personal maid.' She spoke arrogantly and continued, 'let me guess what you are thinking. You are thinking pointless things such as 'Camellia is a beauty in vain.' 'Oh, she won't let me do this and that to her!' 'Who does she think she is?' Am I right? Perverted master?'
As usual, Camellia is always spot on to guess and understand my feelings. Sigh. I have so many things to retort back, but somehow today or more like every day. . .I just feel like things are off. Like something is missing. Since when have I started to feel this way? That it's a huge drag to get out of bed and face the world. I always hang out with girls at night; I should have my share of fun. But why do I still feel empty? I laid on my bed and roll to face the ceiling.
Girls huh. . .The girl that I spent with last night was sexy, the face that she made was perfectly slutty and the way she call out my name was just my type. Her blood was sweet too. . .but it seems to lack something and somehow it disgusted me. The girl herself was a great beauty too. . .but it just does not feel right. What's wrong with me? Any guy should feel satisfied to have spent the night with such a gem, but to me. . .it just feels off. Not just her, every girl that I spent nights with. All of them are not bad looking; or rather they are considered the cream of the crop in the whole of the woman universe. But it's just something unexplainable that is off. It's like it lacks something that is important. Something I used to have dearly but it's gone. . .And I miss it. . .
I sighed once again and sat up as I let the delicate white cloth that covered my body to slip off to my waist. The sun is so bright. So beautiful. Yet, it seems to lack its usual radiance. Since when? Had the sun started to lose its beautiful shine? And even though it is supposed to be scorching hot but why do I feel that it's so chilly that I want to wear my winter clothes again? Since when, had the sun start to shine such chilly rays? And it's supposed to be spring. The weather should get warmer, but why does it feels so cold? Haish. . .
'Raito-sama, here is some iced tea and macaroons. Would you like some now?' Camellia suggested as she starts to pour the tea clumsily. Something that she does not do, considering how her usual movements are so refine and elegant.
'What's wrong? It's unsightly to see you so fidgety. Is something the matter? Or is it, you finally want to spend some quality time with me? Come here! I will accept all of you!' I questioned as I open my arms to signal her to leap in.
'How idiotic!' She brushed my invitation off mockingly and continued in a gentle timid tone, 'I was just wondering, if you would like to visit Amour Caméllia Couleur. I mean the camellias are in full bloom now. And it's most probably the last time you may see it again until October where the camellia season start again.'
Ah right, now is April huh. 'Hey, I have told you to stop calling it Amour Caméllia Couleur already! It's just a camellia garden now!'
'I will say it how I want it to and Amour Caméllia Couleur is a nice name for it. I mean, those camellias used to symbolize-'
Camellia immediately stopped speaking and looks as if she is trying hard to choose her words correctly before speaking them to me. I sighed.
'I get it!' I shouted.
'You don't! It's-'
It happened again. Whenever there is a topic that is related to that certain someone, Camellia would stop as if cat got her tongue.
'I said I get it already.' I sighed and continued, 'Get me my coat; I shall visit the Camellia garden today.
'Really? Roger!' Camellia obeyed energetically. If only she is this energetic when I invite her for some fun. I sighed again.
~At Amour Caméllia Couleur~
Ah, the Camellias here are really the best. Red, pink, orange, white. All the different kinds of camellia in all different shades of colours. One could say, here is a camellia wonderland. Somehow, no matter what happens, being her always warms my heart. But even so, something still feels missing. An important presence.
I strolled through the camellias aimlessly as I breathe in to fill my lungs with the lovely scent of camellias. Ah~! Somehow being here really makes me feel refresh~! If only. . .
'Ah! Raito-sama! Look out!' Camellia warned.
'Huh?' Before I can do anything, my face is buried in a bunch of branch, leaves and camellias.
'Raito-sama, are you okay?' Camellia asked worriedly as she tries to hide her laughter. 'Sorry, it's just hilarious! I mean you just facebushed the camellias!' Camellia started laughing.
I ignored her and gaze at the camellias that I ran into. Ah, it's the pink camellias! For some reason, previously when she is still here, the pink camellias seldom bloom. But now, it blooms almost all year around. The only camellias that never seem to wilt.
I pluck one of the pink camellias and place it near my nose. It smells nostalgic. A smell that I used to smell all day. A smell that I seem to miss dearly. I continued to gaze at the camellia that I pluck. I did not know for how long I stared at the camellia. But I just did. I stared and stared as if trying to recall something dear. As if I am trying to imprint the image of the camellia inside my memory. As if I was afraid of letting it go. . .
It was not until I could hear a commotion from the main building that broke my silent moment with the camellia.
'What's that commotion about?' I asked.
'Not too sure, maybe one of your brothers broke something and Reiji-sama is reprimanding them?'
'Aha, that's bad. Let's head back and find out. And it's starting to get chilly here too, let's go back in before we catch a cold okay?'
'Yes, Raito-sama.'
'Ah right, Camellia, why not we change your name back to Rosalina?'
'Why so sudden?'
'Because, I thought maybe you are bored being called Camellia and Rosalina is your real name after all. Something like that.'
'What's with that? I happen to like my name, so I kindly reject the offer.'
'Is that so?'
Afterwards, the road back was silent. None of us spoke. Maybe because it was too cold? But mostly because I was staring intently at the pink camellia on the way back. . .
/Camellia's POV/
Raito-sama, you are such a liar and a bad actor. Its straight up obvious who your heart is looking for. Who its yearning for. And today, it's not chilly. Its April, spring is almost ending. Summer is going to start soon. It's not chilly, it's freaking hot. But why are you still wearing such thick clothes? The answer is straight out obvious. It's not the weather that is hot. It's your heart that it's cold. After Lady Mio left, your heart turned cold. No matter what you do, where you are. It's always chilly for you.
And my name. It's true that I love my name and treasure my name dearly. After all, it's Camellia, the flower that symbolizes the love between the both of you. And both of you thinks that because of my orange hair, it reminds both of you of camellias that's why you gave me that name. To remind both of you the deep love that you shared. That's why I adore my name, because it holds such a deep meaning. However, when Lady Mio left. Raito-sama, you tried to stop calling me Camellia and start to use my real name, Rosalina. But after a while, you changed back without you noticing. The reason is simple, because you yearn for something to remind yourself of Lady Mio's existence.
And the fact that you refuse to let go of that pink camellia says a lot. After all, pink camellias, their flower language means 'longing'.
Raito-sama, why can't you notice this?
That's all for chapter 10! Hope you enjoyed it!
Also, I most likely would upload one more chapter in the next 2 weeks, so do stay tuned!
Once again, I am really sorry for the slow update T^T
