Chapter 26. Little Beauty and Dominant
Islinda was at a loss of words while Roselia still remained in daze listening to his voice.
"You sure is still still sharp tongued as the rumours claim, huh? " Islinda smiled gladly at him. It's been months since she last saw him and here he was, appeared out of nowhere suddenly in front of her.
"Long time no see Nolan. You should have notified me earlier if you want to see me. Why making a fuss on the ceremony day? " She asked as if she wasn't slight bit interested to meet him.
She was excited and was on the cloud nine assuming he was here for her. However, the next second her sadness overtook her joy listening to him. But, this wasn't the time to show she felt wronged because of him.
" I will talk to you later Izzy, but before that could you please allow me to take your seat for sometime, " He smiled warmly and brightly just like the warm rays of the morning sun.
Disappointment filled her heart and she understood he was not necessarily came to meet her. It's been five days. But, none of her siblings came to check upon her. She really wished he was here for her. But, that's not been the case.
Heaving a sign of disappointment, and gaining her composure, she stood from her seat and gave way to him.
Nolan understood he disappointed her. He chuckled and jovially ruffled her hair, "Don't be such a child. I am here to meet you too. It's just I have some other business at hand first. Just give me 5 minutes my dear sister Islinda. "
Listening to him, her mood instantly brightened, " Who's a child. You are the child. Your whole family is fied with child's.You are Overthinking things. It's none of my business for what work you came here. Stop being pretentious and don't think the whole world revolves around you, "she blasted back everything that was on her mind.
Nolan couldn't help but chuckle at her childish behavior, " Ok ok, I am the one to blame. Now stop being angry at me. Otherwise, you won't get something you like. "
Something she like...?
What is it?
He was so confident that she will surely like it. What was that?
From where is he getting that confidence?
Forget it, he will sure give it later no matter what.
Turing a 180 degree attitude, " Oh my, Nolan, your legs might be hurting from standing for a long time. Why don't you take a seat."
She immediately urged him to take her seat.
Nolan was pretty satisfied at her change of hospitality and felt happy ,"That's being so nice of you, "saying that he immediately took his seat next to Roselia.
Everyone might think he was treating her fairly and they were having a good conversation, but those words are just mock her and the smile only looked like a smirk which Islinda wants to rip off his face.
Holding herself back, she could only smile back at him and move to Roselia's side, indirectly warning him to behave himself.
He was no fool. He right away understood what Islinda actions meant by standing behind Roselia. She was advising him to not to pick on her. Otherwise, she might have no choice but to speak bad about him in front of Roselia.
"What a sly girl, " Nolan couldn't help but shake his head, "She is still a child complaining to others about getting teased. "
Not minding her anymore, finally he shifted his attention to Roselia. To his amusement, she is still staring at him and for some reason he felt happy knowing that.
Clearing his throat, his voice a little raspy, " I know my face sure looks good, but aren't you being so bold by giving that intense gaze which might make others mouth run wild. "
Roselia snapped back to reality listening to him, but his following sentence indeed made her feel at loss of words.
He didn't only claim her she was giving him a passionate stare, but also told her behavior might create rumours and defame him. He managed to reverse the whole situation with just few words.
"What a hypocrite", she amused inside her heart and at the same time her heart puffed up with fury because of his behavior.
At this situation, even if she didn't do anything, stories sure start to circulate about them around the whole campus and him being the school hunk would not only do nothing good to her, but in return she might even end up in troubles because of his pursuers. However, here he was, pushing all the blame on her and pointing at her not minding his actions.
However, she sure can't talk harshly to him, but she sure can imitate him giving him the taste of his own medicine of rudeness.
''Why do you have to be this handsome.... I can't bring myself to hurt you, but I already made up my mind to not to let anyone bully me nor treat me badly, "Roselia squirmed inside as she couldn't bring herself to treat him rashly.
Roselia turned to face him, and gave him a conceited smile. Cracking her necks bones on the either side, she simply leaned over the chair. Her legs crossed over each other while her fingers playfully twirling her hair.
Having a calm and leisure look, she relaxed in the chair while taking in his handsome face. She just transformed into an entire new being from before making Islinda to contemplate what is the true self of Roselia.
This is it Rosey... Fighting!!
Understanding that Roselia is about to retaliate, she instantly pressed her ears to their side trying to pry their conversation.
Raising her chin high up, in a dominant tone, her voice not low but high enough for Nolan to decipher, she said, "little beauty, so you do know one can't run their mouth however they like, huh? " She tittered scornfully.
Islinda:"??? "
Nolan:"... " little beauty?
