Chapter 2

The unexpected secret

Helia has been acting strange these past few weeks and I feel like we are drifting apart…

This started occurring after Aisha and Nabu got married. Flora felt that something was wrong and didn't know who to talk to, she decided to ask Bloom for advice.

I feel like he no longer loves me and that he's gotten tired of me, Flora broke down and cried in Blooms arms.

I think you should confront him about this and tell him how you are feeling, maybe it's just a misunderstanding and if it's not maybe it's time to let go of him.

Flora… I need to tell you something… please don't get mad… I don't know what happened… and i don't regret it…but i feel really bad...but I-

Bloom stop it, you can tell me anything, I won't get mad.

Before I tell you Flora, why do you think Helia has been acting weird? Bloom asked,

It all started a month ago, I was in the garden taking care of it as usual

Yes…

And I saw Helia painting…

That's not exactly weird…

It was not me…

What do you mean?

It was Musa

Maybe he wanted to paint someone else?

I also thought that at first, however a few days later he started becoming more distant, when I asked him why he just brushed me of saying,

"Its nothing, I'm just busy"

Sky also told me they had been really busy at RED FOUNTAIN lately, Bloom told Flora reassuringly,

I also thought it was like that, but he started ignoring my calls and leaving me on read, he had never done this before when he was busy, Flora sniffled,

Maybe he was just under too much pressure? Bloom asked.

IT WAS ALL A LIE, Flora broke down crying,

It was all a lie?

What was a lie?

…

...

Bloom was waiting for a reply from Flora but it seems like she will not get an answer anytime soon, Flora was still crying all huddled up. She needs to get her mind off this so she decided to tell her the secret she has been feeling really guilty about.

Me and Stella kissed…

…

…

…

Wait what? Flora said shocked.

You did what?! Flora burst out forgetting that she was crying,

You kissed Stella…

WHY?

I don't know, Bloom said, sniffing.

It just happened, "I kissed a girl and I liked it", Bloom sang

Bloom be serious, don't get distracted, Flora sighed.

Does Sky know about this? Flora asked

No… it happened last night and I didnt know what to do, but I thought I should ask for your advice, and when I was about to call you, you called me…

I think you should tell Sky about this, and then confirm the feelings you have for Stella...

I think you are right, Bloom sighed.

Thanks for your advice and good luck with Helia.

After Bloom and Flora separated, Bloom started thinking back to what had happened between her and Stella.

- Flashback starts-

After the wedding Stella decided to invite Bloom for a slumber party, because it's been so long since they last hanged just the two of them. They both got drunk and started playing around, when Stella tripped on the blanket and fell on top of Bloom. They started into each other's eyes until Stella started to inch closer until their noses touched. Bloom closed the distance between them not regretting it, after realizing what they both did they pretended to be tired and went to sleep.

Flashback ends-

Later that day Bloom felt really bad about what she had done to Sky so she decided to talk to Flora about it and ask for her advice on what she should do.

Stella on the other hand was really confused about what she was feeling and decided to go shopping in order to forget what just happened, dragging poor Musa along with her.
