Twenty

"What became of the girls?" I asked.


"They're still eating, Miss. Don't you want to eat? You might be hungry later," Lazzy speculated.



"I'm fine; I'll eat right now, but first I'll rest," I explained.



Mitch and I are still here, with only the stars in the dark sky to guide us.



"Are you getting cold?"



"Yeah, why is this the dress I expected to wear?" she asked.


I didn't even think of bringing a hoodie because I was so excited to be with Mitch. I looked around.

Many of us are still here. Nobody seems to want to go home just yet. I'm confident we won't have to ride back later.

"Yeah, we were so excited that we forgot to bring a jacket. For the cold. If we stay here until noon, we'll be freezing," I explained.

"Yes," Mitch said.

"Just let me know if you want to eat, and I'll get you something there," I said.


Then my phone suddenly rang. Mitch and I looked at each other. I took my phone from my pocket and looked at who was calling me. But to my surprise, it was Davianna. I looked at Mitch, then she was frowning.

It's like she wasn't happy that Davianna was calling me. I didn't answer the call since I didn't want Mitch to get angry with me. We are in a relationship just today. I don't want her to become upset. So he ignored Davianna's call.



"Just answer that, Zander, she was so annoying," Mitch said, which made me surprised.

"Don't mind her call. I won't answer that, " I said.

"That won't stop if you don't talk to her. Answer first. " Mitch said, then stood up and walked away from me.

I wiped my face with my palm. This is trouble. Why did this woman think to call today? Doesn't she understand that I'm not going to date her anymore? Especially now that Mitch and I are together. I got up and followed Mitch to the cottage. I approached her and hugged her.

"Do we both have a problem? We were okay before. Why did you suddenly become like that?" I asked her.

She still didn't say a word, so I put my face close to her face and suddenly kissed her on the lips. She looked at me.

"What! Why are you kissing me?" She said in an embarrassing tone.



"I'm like this if my girlfriend is having tantrums. If you want to experience that, I will kiss you torridly in public. So don't stop doing this, " I said.

I noticed that she was in rattle.

"I'm sorry, it's just I'm jealous. Since she was your first love, what if you make me rebound just to forget her? "

"Stop that attitude of yours, Mitch! I love you. I'm not courting you because of my past. " I said, assuring her.

"Really?" Mitch said, in a happy tone.



"Of course, you are better than her in every aspect. So stop being jealous. " I said.

"I can shout to the whole world how much I love you."

Mitch hugged me.

"Thank you, I just don't want to become a cover-up for your hole. Because you didn't court me. Suddenly, we got into a relationship, and I made the way for us to be. Because I suddenly kissed you," said Mitch.

"Love, get rid of your doubt. My intention is pure. If you want me to court you until we grow old, I will. But for now, let's enjoy yourself. " I said.

She nodded. So I hugged her and kissed her forehead. I stood up and looked for something we could eat today. Mitch might be hungry too. It's almost midnight. I also ended up eating, so I thought of finding them all because I was ready to go to their gym. I saw Lucianna holding her child. I even remember this boy breaking my precious jar in the mansion.

"Where can I get dressed? I've been sweating earlier until now. It's like I'm covered with dust." I said.

"Inside the house, Miss, I'll give this child to my mother in a moment." She said goodbye to me. I just waited for Lucianna until she could come back.

The two of us entered the house at the same time. And we came across other girls putting make-up on their faces.

"What's up? Are you going to the pageant? Why did you put so much on your face?"

They all laughed.

"Even if we don't join the pageant. We have to be beautiful too, Miss, we're used to having make-up in the city. You know how beautiful you are, so it's contagious. You're the one we're always with, so I'm ashamed we're not beautiful when you are by your side, " said Lazzy.

I'm frowning. There are many reasons for this.



"Yeah, so you're good at make-up because I'll get dressed first," I said.



"Will you come with us, Miss?" Hannah asked.



"Yeah, what am I going to do here if I don't come? Count the lizards on the roof?" I said once, entering the room that Devora had opened for me.

Suddenly, my phone rang. When I was not yet undressed. So I took my phone from my pants pocket and answered it.
