SERAPHINA’S MANSION***
“Your doing a great job Aaliyah”. Seraphina said after Aaliyah was done showing her, the dance moves she has ealier thought her.
“You think I’m”. She asked smiling.
“Yes you’re Aaliyah, you might take over from me once you become famous”. Seraphina said, and Aaliyah laughs.
“But there’s one thing missing”. Aaliyah said.
“Which is”.
“Your beautiful face, can I have it”.
And Seraphina laughs.
“Sure you can, but you’ll have to buy it at a high price, is not Free”. She said.
Then both of of them laugh.
“Where’s Lucian”.
“Oh, he went to ABI”. Serafie answers.
“Seraphina”.
“Yes Aaliyah”. Seraphina muttered as she drank some water.
“Can you date my brother”. She said.
And Seraphina choked from the water she was drinking, and coughed so hard.
“I’m sorry Seraphina”. Aaliyah said helping pat her back.
After the cough die down Seraphina asked.
“What did you say again”.
“Well I…emmm I…..said if you can date my brother, I really want you both to be together”. Aaliyah said.
Seraphina smiles and caress her hair.
“Fine I’ll”.
“Really, You’ll”. Aaliyah asked smiling.
“Yes, but only if he ask me to”.
“So you mean you’ll agree to be Lucian’s girlfriend, if he asked you to”.
“Yes I’ll, because I love him”.
And Aaliyah screams in exitment.
“Seraphina loves my brother!!!”. She screams, jumping.
And thankfully the practice room has a silent proof attached to it, else everyone, even people passing by could have heard what her tiny voice was saying.
“But I don’t know if he feels the same way”. Seraphina muttered.
“Am sure he does, his just too shy to say it, you know he has never had a girlfriend all his life”.
“Really, what about Jamila”.
“That big forehead girl, my brother doesn’t love her, they’re just friends”.
And Seraphina smiles.
“So you love my brother”. Aaliyah asked again.
“Yes I do, but don’t tell him okay, if he loves too like you claims, then I’ll have to wait for him to make the first move”.
“Your secret is saved with me Seraphina, padlock and sealed”. Aaliyah said with a demostration.
And Seraphina laughs.
Lucian was right, his siblings was a whole lot of comedy skit, especially Aaliyah.
She was so fun to be with her, and if she’s just 13, she never acts like a kid.
***
Seraphina sighs for the Tenth time, as her eyes never left the window.
Aaliyah left earlier, and since she left, Seraphina has being waiting for Lucian to come home.
It was already late, and there was no sign of him, and she misses him so much, even if it hasn’t being 24 hours yet.
“Is he planning to sleep in ABI,, why can’t he just come home already”. Seraphina said like a nagging wife.
She sighs again, and when Lucian drove inside the compound, she quickly jumped to a chair.
She sat down, holding a book pretending she was reading and not waiting for him.
Lucian enters the house, and her eyes fixed on the book.
“Sera”.
“Hey”. She muttered with the book still on her face.
“Have you been waiting for me”. He asked.
Seraphina scoffs and said.
“Of course not, why will I”.
“Then why ain’t you sleeping yet”.
“I just feel like reading”.
Lucian looks at the book in her hand, and it was turn upside down.
“So who have being reading”.
“Yes I have”. Seraphina said, with the book still on her face.
Lucian walks closer to her.
He takes the book from her, and turns it the right way.
“This is how you read a book Sera”. He said smiling.
“Is my new version way of reading okay”. Seraphina said not showing how embarrassed she was.
“Just admit it Sera, you have been waiting for me”.
“I wasn’t, turning the book upside down, is how I get to understand the book perfectly”. She said.
She turns the book upside down and used it to cover her face.
Lucian smiles, he knew she was lying.
“Is your call then, I’ll be in your pratice room, I have some drawings to draw”.
Seraphina scoffs, with the book Still in her face.
Lucian looks at her, and smiles, before leaving.
And when he left, Seraphina threw the book away, not like she has been reading it anyways.
“Really, that’s all he got to say after he wasn’t here the whole day”. Seraphina said with a frown.
She later went to the practice room, and sees Lucian looking so forcus in the artwork he was drawing.
“How was your first day at work”. She asked sitting beside him.
“It was okay, everyone was cool, I also have an assistant, she’s a Half-breed just like you, her name is Jae-hee, and she’s beautiful too”.
Seraphina frowned.
“But your more beautiful Sera”.
And Seraphina smiles widely.
“That’s why am the face of Australia anyways”. She said with proudness and Lucian smiles.
“Ain’t you going to eat”.
“I’ll but after am done with this”.
Seraphina nods.
She picks a painting brush, and when an idea enter her head, she smiles.
She dip the painting brush inside one of the paints, and said.
“Lucian”.
And when Lucian looks at her, she brushed the painting brush containing paint on his forehead and laughs.
Lucian looks at her as she laughs.
“So you wanna play huh”. Lucian said dipping another painting brush Inside a paint.
“No, I don’t want to, I was only jocking”. Seraphina said running around the practice room, as Lucian Chase after her.
“Well it seems I fell for your silly jokes”. Lucian said going after her.
And since Seraphina wasn’t a good runner, Lucian caught up with her and design her face with the painting brush.
“Now you like the map of Australia”. Lucian said laughing.
Seraphina frowns, she took a can of red and blue paints and pours it on his face.
“Now you like the map of Korea”. She said laughing.
“Then should I draw the map of Thailand on your face”. Lucian said going close to her.
“Don’t come anywhere near me, don’t or am going to ki|| you”.
“It’ll be a great honor to be ki||ed by the face of Australia right”. Lucian said chasing her around with paints in his hand.
Both began designing each other’s face and clothes with paints, and laughing at the same time.
The only people who’ll be crying the next day will be the maids, since the whole room was already occupied with different colors of paints.
And after playing with paints like elementary kids, they slept in each other arms, cuddling.
