UNDER THE MASK - EPISODE 22

★★★★★

“Kiss… You?” Mercury gasped

“Yeah, deeply” Depp replied

” Put me down” she said, avoiding his eyes

“Want me to do it myself?, Ok” he replied and brought his lips closer and no matter how much she tries, her silly eyes Won’t stop closing

It went shut and his lips landed on hers with equal automatic sync

He kissed her softly, this is different from all the hard kisses they’ve had and somehow, she loves it more than any of those..

The kiss too so long that when they parted for breath, she can barely breathe

“That was… sweet” he smiled, dropping her gently and she almost fell cos her legs aren’t balanced on the floor as a result of the shiver left in her spine

“Have fun, and next time when I ask of a compliment, please don’t say it cos I want this to repeat itself countlessly” he said and smiled again before leaving

Mercury held her chest and inhaled hard. “What just happened?” She asked herself, breathing heavily

Venus tapped her right shoulder while Moon tapped her left one

She looked sidewards before looking straight again

“You guys were cute I swear” Venus said

“Piss off” she replied and quickly rushed away from the scene

” How bad were they?” Moon asked

“They both would rather die than talk nicely to each other, but few days before our trip here, he changed though we still don’t understand why” Venus replied

“whoa!, No one will believe they were once enemies” Moon said

” Sworn enemies at that” Venus smiled

” How cute!, Well I just can’t wait to see what Kaitlyn will look like, and I think she’s Min’s fated one, their cuteness and matching sweetness is overloaded” Moon smiled

” Yes I know right?, Let’s go in and await everyone” Venus said

” Sure” Moon replied and is about to go in with her when Damon showed up

” You go in first, I’ll Join you” Moon said

“Don’t tell me you’re attached to him” Venus said

” I dunno” Moon replied and Venus went in

“Hey” she waved at Damon who looks simple in what he’s wearing, simple but dashing

“You look good” Damon smiled

“You too, you don’t look bad” she replied, blushing red

” Shall we go in?, The feast is starting soon” Damon said

“Sure” she smiled and went in with him

” Why is Kaitlyn not here yet?” Eden wondered aloud from where he’s sitting

” You’re still obsessed” Venus replied beside him

“What do you mean obsessed?” Eden said

” The last time at the river, you stared at her right?” Venus said

” You .. were there?” Eden asked surprisingly

” Of course, though I still feel guilty for taking her there till now, I thought it was only me who baths in the water, but it turned out jerks like you also come there to bath, I never knew it’s like that, I wouldn’t have taken her there, you perverted soul” Venus said

” Look, I’ve apologized to her though she hasn’t forgiven me but I’ll keep trying” Eden replied

” Pervert, that’ll be your new name from now on, and you better stop getting obsessed with her, throw away your obsession cos obviously she’s made for Min” Venus said

” Says who?” Eden said

” You’ll get hurt if you try anything funny, it’s a warning that you can ignore but if you choose to do that, you’ll get wounded” Venus said, plopping a grape into her mouth

Soon, the whole hall went silent as if someone held the lips of everyone

Then Min and Kaitlyn entered in the grandest way ever with the dean

Kaitlyn is in blue, maybe that’s her best colour cos it’s the color she wears most

Her gown is blue and it’s crawling after her as she walked on the marble floor

Then going to her face, she has no make-up on like the others, just a slight lining on her brows then little lipstick on her lips but even that made her look more beautiful, coupled with her hair that is down on her shoulders

“Yes, she’s really a divine beauty” Moon said

Mika’s eyes won’t leave Min who held Kaitlyn’s hand allthrough the entry

He’s wearing a black shirt on a black trousers and he used just one feathers earring on his right ear, he has never dressed as handsome as this before so everyone is mesmerized

After they made their entry, all eyes won’t leave them as they took their seats on Damon and Moon’s table

“Welcome everyone to the feast of victory over Catol, I hope you all will enjoy yourselves as I’ll be giving you space right now ” Wang said

” Yes master” they all chorused and he took his leave

“Seriously Kaitlyn, should I borrow your face?, Everyone loves you except the unfortunate ones, you’re extra gorgeous” Moon said

” Flattery huh?” Kaitlyn said

“Matter of flatly, not flattery” Moon replied

“Well, Min, you look… awesome, you got some respect for we the guys too” Damon said

” I was about to say that, you look awesome too Min” Moon said

“Thanks” Min replied

” You said it then that everyone likes my Pretty face, FYI, not everyone, I can still count some who see my pretty face as a bother” Kaitlyn said

” Miss M & R” Moon said and Damon giggled

” You got the ones I’m talking about?” Moon asked

“Sure, Mika and Rainbow” Damon replied

” Yes” Moon replied and they all laughed heartily

“You’re lively, another good attribute” Damon said

Min looked at Kaitlyn and they returned their glance to Damon

*Meaning?” They both asked

” What?” Damon asked

” Saying that’s another good attribute, are you counting it?, Do you have plans for her?” Min asked

” You both are not serious” Damon replied and left the table

“You succeed in chasing him away” Moon said

“Trust me he’s coming back” Min winked

” Stop doing that, I might get obsessed” Moon replied

Kaitlyn held Min’s hand under the table

“Give me the wink” she said

“Really?, You’ll melt down to jelly” Min replied

” Nothing like that will happen* Kaitlyn replied and Min winked

Her heart beat fast that instant and she almost got heart seizure

“Don’t do that again” she said, holding her chest

“I told you ” Min smiled, calming her down by holding her shoulders

“Breath in and out three times” he said

“I’m fine” she smiled

” Sure? ” He asked

” I can never lie to you” Kaitlyn replied.

“Are you both trying to make me feel oppressed?” Moon said, staring at them

“Oh, sorry” Kaitlyn said and they both turned their attention to her

” I just love you both” she said

“So…. You feel attached to Damon? ” Min asked

” Maybe” Moon replied sadly, knowing they’ll be leaving tommorow

Damon came back and sat with them

“So, why do you use mask before?” He asked

“People say my face is weird” Kaitlyn replied

” You should have known we’re all supernatural beings, it can’t look weird to us” Damon said

” People say your face look weird?” Moon said

” A lot” Kaitlyn replied

Moon looked at her for so long before inhaling

” But now you’re fine with us, so you’ve been covering up this pretty face” Moon said

” And how did you guys manage to bring Catol down within a short time like that?, Everyone knows he’s cloned and perhaps he’ll still have some remnants of the powers of the real one in him, so I’m amazed” Damon said

“my queen actually did it” Min said

” Your queen?” Damon and Moon asked at once

” Nevermind” Min said and Kaitlyn only smiled

Anytime he calls her that, she feels special and honoured

“Kaitlyn” Eden called, sitting with them on the table.

“I think I told you you’re still getting punished, don’t talk to me” Kaitlyn said

” I need to tell you something, come with me” he said and tried taking her hand but Min covered her

“You’re not her, so let her go” Eden said

“And you’re not me, so stop telling him to let me go , I’m not ready to talk to you yet” Kaitlyn replied

” Ok please…. it’s urgent* Eden said

“Say it here” Kaitlyn said

“Well…. it’s personal” Eden said

Kaitlyn looked at Min and Min nodded negatively

“He says no” Kaitlyn said

“Are you both an item?, Why will he be the one to tell you what to do?” Eden said furiously

” You won’t understand” Min said, knowing if she goes with him and he touches her, he’ll surely get affected

“Understand what?” Eden asked

“Eden just go” Damon said

“I don’t want to go!” He yelled

” Queen let’s go” Min said and started pulling Kaitlyn out

“What’s up over there” Mika said from her table

“That jerk is obsessed with her, but still he won’t join our team” Rainbow said, watching them with great interest

Eden suddenly grabbed Kaitlyn’s hand and Min felt a sharp pain in his chest, he stopped immediately and held it tight

“Let her go” he said, anger building up in his voice as his heart continued hurting

“No” Eden replied defiantly

“Let her go!” Min said angrily and pushed him away from her then hugged her instantly to cool the pain in his heart

Eden landed with a loud thud on the floor and hurt his arm

“What are they doing?” Mercury wondered

“Strange, Min has never looked so angry before” Damon said

*He touched his queen, I think I’m understanding this bit by bit” Moon replied beside him

” What?” Damon asked

“I’ll tell you later” Moon replied

“There’ll be no later, I’m returning to AOS tommorow” Damon said and that activated sadness in Moon’s eyes as they stared at each other

Eden stood from his spot and tried to grab Kaitlyn again but Min grabbed his shoulders tightly, making Eden weak

“Min” Kaitlyn gasped at how violent he became

“Don’t touch her!, Or I’ll really end your life” he said seriously and his eyes started burning red

“Why?” Eden asked painfully

“She’s my queen, no man touches her…. unless you wanna lose your life!” Min spat and let go of Eden who staggered with his hurting shoulders as a result of Min’s hold

“Changmin” Kaitlyn said, holding his sides delicately immediately
he came to her

“I’ll get hurt if anyone touches you, and you’ll get hurt in your heart if any lady touches me too, let’s not get hurt ok?” He whispered only to her hearing

She nodded, “are you ok now?” She asked, looking at him with concern

” No” he replied

Everyone is looking at them surprisingly right now

“Does your heart still hurt?” She asked, touching his chest

“No, but I’m sorry, this might become an habit so get used to it” he said and with full force, he captured her lips

“Did he just kiss her?” Mika gasped.
