SILVER-HAIRED

Olivia hummed a tone, combing my hair, I watched her through the mirror, she seemed to be in a good mood today, I wondered why she was all smiley than usual.

"Are you alright Olivia?" I began as the curiosity got to me. "You seem happy about something"

She blushed. "I’m perfectly fine my lady... I’m just glad that Mint is alive, you’re happy so I am too" she states.

I just made a hmm sound, because I knew it was something more than that, maybe she didn’t want to say it.

I fidget with my fingers, going in silence, my mind in disarray and regret filling me, my unsettle nerves becoming more prominent, what happened yesterday was still imprinted in my brain, the hurtful words I said to Cedric, I bit my lip, I didn’t know how I was going to face him now, I wasn’t sure I could after what I did, but neither can I hide from him for long, times I had tried to do that has proven to be futile.

"It’s time for breakfast, my lady," Olivia said.

"Right, at Mother’s"

"No my lady, you will be dining with Lord Cedric,"

I gulped, my body becoming tense.

I nervously sauntered along the hall heading for the dining hall, what was I going to do? I was about to face him. Deep breaths Sylvia, deep breaths, I told myself drawing deep breaths, I haven’t even realized we were at the doors already, it spread open with the help of the guards, I stepped in alone the doors shutting close behind me. My eyes traveled from the table of food to Cedric, he wasn’t eating, just had a printed paper he was indulging himself with.

My lips went apart to say something but I couldn’t, he didn’t seem to acknowledge my presence and that hurt me. With sad looks I walked to my chair taking a seat which was very further from him and yet he again he didn’t budge he didn’t lift his gaze, just there, seated like a handsome god, ugh!
