Chapter 17
There was a chicken feather on Nicki's nose as she slept soundly. Instead, she rubbed the face and rubbed the nose with the hair. Dominic refuses to laugh because he knows the girl will wake up. The feather just floated and he was lying next to the girl. It turned her away so he couldn't see the girl's reaction.
He just wants to wake up the girl because it promises her to come out that day. Because of the excitement and joy he immediately went to visit the girl but could he saw the girl is still sleeping. So he made a way for the girl to wake up. Nicki's eyes widened because of the annoyance that the feather had disappeared and he was nowhere to be seen.
When Nikki faced Dominic direction her eyes widened because their inches away to each other, “good morning mi lady,” the young man greeted her. She can smelled mint fragrance of young man’s breath. She wanted to ask what tooth paste the young man used is but she didn’t. Until she think to pushed the young man but before she can do it, the young man disappeared and she saw that Dominic are now floating to thin air as if laying on the ceiling.
“What’s your trip again?” As if Nicki was too accustomed to sudden appear and disappear of the young man. It was just that she didn't want to be so close to the young man that she didn't know where that annoyance came from, just that she knew she was annoyed. The way he smiles, acts, dresses and talks is what she really hates from Dominic.
“It’s nothing mi lady.” Dominic said while grinning ear to ear.
“Are you hungry?”
Dominic acted like thinking something, “yes, I am, don’t you remember something?”
“Nothing.”
Dominic jumped from the ceiling to Nicki's bed. The girl immediately flinched because she knew the young man would fall for her but Dominic clasped his hands together so that they couldn't hit. Nicki's eyes widened because of surprised and nearly stopped breathing because of what the young man was doing. “You don’t remember anything?”
“What I need to remember Dominic? Get away from me!”
Dominic didn’t listen to Nikki and stay there for a while, “are you sure mi lady?” Dominic asked again.
Nikki feel slowly heat his cheeks, “I don’t remembered anything.”
The young man moved back away at get back to the ceiling. Nikki sighed of relief, “what about that we will go to the mall because you don’t have any classes this day?”
Until Nikki remembered again, “that’s it?” She got up on the bed and throw a magazine she had borrowed from Honey to Dominic. She left Dominic alone in her room and returned some of the magazine to Honey. Dominic get the magazines, “choice again what do you want to wear and we will go. Wait for me here.” Then she took the clothes and the bath utilities. There were no people in the dormitory and half of the students there returned to their homes to rest.
When she had finished bathing and she returned to her room. She saw Dominic wearing shorts, a shirt, and a long sleeve of blue and wearing vans shoes. It looks like Dominic is wearing something special to him especially to his beautiful body. She also felt a rush of heartbeat and knew that the prince and look handsome to her. The young man faced her, “you’re here, is my dress okay?”
Nikki didn’t answer at she still looking the handsome young man, “ye-yes, yes of course”
“We can go now?”
She didn't take it long because she notice this excited young man beside her. She was thinking of bringing the young man to the mall and there for eat breakfast. The young man was amazed that they were riding in the jeep and in the cars to the streets. The young man asked too many things about the place. It is just that the young man looks foolish in the eyes of other people even though he is handsome because he look friend and ignorant to her world. It's still a surprise to cyclists around and it even puts its head out of the jeep window. Nicki was annoyed and she need to guard the childish handsome prince, Dominic.
They arrived at the mall where so many people moving in and out. They go straight to the fast food chain that favourites of all especially children. “Jollibee?” Dominic confusedly aske Nikki while eating they ordered spaghetti for him.
Nicki, on the other hand, was delighted to watch the young man especially the large sauce on the side of his lip. So she got tissue for the young man because the girl was holding wiping his dirt on the face. He just watched what Nicki was doing until it cleaned. “You’re so cute.”
Dominic’s brow arched, “what’s the meaning of that?”
Nikki thinking of what word come out from his mouth, “like a dog, cute.”
“What? You mean I’m a look like a dog to you?” Nikki laughed because of Dominic’s reaction.
“Just eat Dominic.”
When they’re finished eating breakfast there and they go to the wishing fountain. They look down the fountain full of coins and they saw their reactions from the water.
“Waterline has the same place like this and like this fountain. You will throw coins and you will wish something to happen. I thought we are the only one have that, I don’t know that you have this too.”
They sat down to the fountain railings, “what really happens?”
“Where?”
“Why did you get in to the mirror? Yes, you were in prison there but what is the deepest reason behind that?”
“They wanted me to marry a princess that live to other kingdom Airnabes but I don’t like the idea and the arrange marriage. They say they can’t get anything if I will not marry the princess. I don’t want anything but to be free but they didn’t understand what I want. That’s why they in prison me inside the mirror.”
“Oh my god, that’s the reason, you have a right age to marry, why?”
“I don’t like and I didn’t find any girl I love, how about you lady Nikki, you want to share something?”
