Chapter 352: Jolene’s Trouble
"WE? " Talia tightened her hold around Celine’s neck and she winced making Talia chuckle. "Tell me with whom you were that day, dear." Talia decided to tease Celine more seeing her blushing.
Celine tried to wriggle away from Talia’s grip but she couldn’t and they both ended up in a little toss while giggling.
"I was on a lunch date with Walter. Happy? Now let’s stop behaving like unruly children."
In the end Celine gave up first.
"You should have told me when I asked you politely," Talia grinned proudly as she gained victory.
"You are nothing like what we were led to believe in the past. You’re livelier and I envy you in a way." Celine said as she fixed her hair that had gotten a little messy during their previous tussle.
"You think so?" Talia raised her brows. "I’ve changed a lot. I used to be like this and then my world turned grey. I’m glad it turned colourful once again."
"Because of Love?" Celine paused and looked at Talia deeply.
"Yes, you could say that." Talia smiled and thought to herself: And also because of ’making love’. She somehow felt happier after she started sleeping with Fred and she knew there are some scientific reasons for that. Oxytocins, endorphines , serotonins are called the ’happy hormone’ right?
They walked around for some time. Talia felt like Celine wanted to ask her something, but was hesitating. She didn’t ask about it and let Celine gather courage by herself.
"Talia," Celine whispered as sat closer to Talia on the bench near a fountain. The gentle trickling noise from the fountain gave a serene stillness, calming the mind.
