Zel sighed and
grimace as he parked his car in the hospital parking lot. I do not want to
marry that spoiled brat. I so do not want to marry her. But I don't want to
disappoint my parents either. But it's not right marrying to someone you don't
love at all. Damn…why did I get into this mess?
Zel got to
Amelia's room and knocked. He heard a very cheery and annoying "Come In". Zel
sighed and went in.
Amelia face
light up. "Zelgadiss!!" Zel winced to himself. He hated to be called by his
full name. Even his parents stopped calling him that. The only person he never
minded, that called him by his full name was…Lina.
Zel took a seat
next to the bed. "Filia told me that you wanted to see me?"
Amelia nodded
enthusiastically. "Yes! I wanted to talk to you about the wedding."
Zel groaned to
himself. "Amelia look, I—"
"When should it
be? Where? I would love to have to outside. So should we have it during the
summer time?" Amelia cut in.
"Look Amelia.
Could we talk about this with our parents 2 months later as we planned?"
"But…why not
now?" Amelia pouted.
"Amelia. We
still got plenty of time. Let's plan then ok?" Zel said patiently.
Amelia sighed.
"I guess so."
Zel nodded.
"Well I'm going to do some errands now. See you again." Zel walked out of the
room briskly.
Amelia stared at
the close door. She then reached for her phone.
"Hello Filia?
It's me Amelia. I'm sorry, but could you come by the hospital again so we could
chat for a while?"
"Sure Amelia. I'll be there soon."
"Ok. Bye."
~*~*~*~
Zel reached his
apartment and sat on his bed and was thinking. God…I had so much fun today
at the beach. I want to paint Lina when she was running around in the shallow
end of the water. With the waves nearby and the autumn breeze blowing through
her fiery red hair, the painting will have definite emotions. Why am I thinking
about her so much? Zel sighed and got up his butt and went to his studio
and started to paint yet another painting of Lina.
~*~*~*~
"Filia unnie
(1)!" Amelia cried when Filia got to the hospital room.
"Ahnyoung (2)
Amelia," Filia said warmly.
"I have a
question to ask of you."
"What may that
be?" asked Filia.
"Is Zel seeing
anyone else?"
Filia was taken
back. "No. He isn't. Except for Lina. He isn't."
Amelia narrowed
her eyes. "Who's Lina?"
Filia explained
the whole thing. "I see…" Amelia trailed off.
"Yes. They are
just really good friends." Filia said partly defending her brother.
"Oh I believe
you Filia unnie. Thanks for telling me that situation."
"Your Welcome."
Filia glanced at her watch. "Well I got to run now." Filia grabbed her purse
and waved good-bye to Amelia. "Bye."
Amelia smiled a
fake smile. "Bye!"
"Well she's a
good person to use to get information…" Amelia smirked and scowled. "Lina…" she
growled. "I see…so she's the one that is trying to take away my Zelgadiss.
We'll see about that Lina. We'll see about that."
~*~*~*~
2 months
later…
"Yes! I'm
finally all better! Now I can finally plan the wedding with Zelgadiss!" Amelia
triumphantly smiled to herself. "But first…I got to meet that Lina girl…"
~*~*~*~
Lina hummed to
herself. The past 2 months were the best times she had for a long time. Zel,
Xel, and her had been hanging out a lot. She and Zel also had been telling each
other what they've been doing for the past 10 years. I'm so glad he came back!
Lina continued to hum as she went to Xelloss room to do the usual cleaning.
"Ne Lina. You
are really happy these days!" Xelloss remarked.
Lina giggled.
"Look who's talking!"
Xelloss nodded.
"True. Ever since Rock-head came back, I've had someone to tease!"
Lina scowled at
him. "He's not a rock-head!!!"
"Oh really? You
got to admit that he's stubborn as a rock though." Xel raised an eyebrow.
Lina cocked her
head. After few minutes passed, she nodded in agreement.
Xelloss smiled
in approval. "See you agree!"
Lina laughed and
shook her head. Suddenly her pager went off. Lina looked at the number. It was
an unfamiliar number.
"Xelloss I'm
done with your room now. I'll see you later k?" Lina left the room and dashed
to the nearest phone booth.
"Hello?" Lina
said over the phone.
"Hello? Is this
Lina?"
"Yes. Who is
this?"
"Ah yes, this is
Amelia, Zelgadiss' fiancé. I would like to have a talk with you. How does this
one café sound?"
Lina stared at
the phone. "How did you get my pager number?"
"I got it from
Filia." Uh-huh. Got it from Filia who got it from her brother. I'm assuming
it took Filia forever to get her number. "So how does 4:00 sound?"
"Sounds ok to
me. I'll be there." Lina hung up the phone and stared at it. What does she
want?
~*~*~*~
Lina entered the
Café. Obviously it was a café for the rich people. Lina felt out of place. She
soon spotted a woman coming toward her. "Are you Lina?" she asked.
"Yes."
"Come with me
please." They took a seat in the far corner. "Would you like anything to drink?
I'll pay."
Lina glanced at
the menu. "Just regular coffee please."
"Ok." Amelia
called the waitress over and a few minute Lina got her coffee, while Amelia got
some mocha.
Lina took a sip
of her coffee. Man cafés are supposed to have cozy atmosphere. It certainly
isn't comfortable.
"I bet you are
wondering what this is all about?" Amelia asked politely.
"Yes? Is there
something wrong?"
"I would like
you to stop hanging around with my fiancé."
