Chapter 2

"Holy Heavens!"
Our moment ended when someone entered the kitchen.
It was Clara. Daughter of one of the generals. A friend of mine and Castriel.
"Were you about to kiss?" She blurted, hands on her cheeks.
I immediately pushed Castriel away. "O-Of course not! Why would we
k-kiss?! Right?" I convinced.
"We were fighting! Right, Cas?" He rolled his eyes on me.
"Yes, we were fighting," I felt relief when he said that. That was so awkward.
"Just like everyday," Clara laughed and sat down on one of the chairs as well as Castriel.
I put all the stuff we bought at the center of the table and started unpacking it. Both of them helped me unpack as well as arranging it on the shelves.
"So, what's for dinner?" Asked by Clara who's now stretching looking like she's ready to cook.
"You really know when to eat here huh?" I chuckled.
"Hey! I eat here like everyday!"
"Yeah right, if Cas is here." I gave her a teasing glance. Yes, this girl has a crush on Castriel.
As I saw her cheeks burning, I burst into laughter.
"Ha ha. Very funny Mary," she mumbled.
Cas on the other hand just continued arranging the fruits. 
"I'll cook, you two just go and do your things," nabaling ang tingin ko kay Cas.
"You really are going to have dinner here?" I snapped. "Don't you have homes?" It's like I'm a mother of two. 
"If you'd only let me, I'll live here," said by the man making fire. 
"Me too!" Clara squealed. 
I just chuckled. See what I mean? Baka pati sa langit sumama sa'kin tong dalawang to e tapos di kami tatanggapin.
Minutes passed, Clara and I just waited for Castriel to finish cooking, and to tell you, it smells heaven.
"And done!" As soon as Castriel exclaimed, Clara and I started running towards the kitchen.
We readied the plates and utensils as Cas settles the dishes.
There were mashed potatoes, grilled meat, soup and vegetable salad. This is a feast.
"Castriel?" I heard Clara asked while her eyes are stuck on the food.
"Yes?"
"Will you be my husband?" It was a whisper but yes, I know what I heard.
My eyes widened as well as Cas'. Oh no. He heard it too.
"W-What did you just say?!" Cas exclaimed. I can see the shock written on his face. Hell yeah! This is good!
"H-Huh? What is what?" Confused, she looked at me and Cas. 
Both of us remained silent waiting for what will happen next. Okay, now this is awkward.
"It's nothing. Let's just eat," Cas finally broke the silence and sat down.
I saw how Clara's face saddened. That's what you get for pretending.
How sad this love story is, pretending to hate someone when you truly love them. 
One finger down for unrequited love.
I just shrugged and started eating.
"Mmmm..mmm!" I can't help but to moan in delight. This is really good!
"Good, hmm?" I nodded as soon as Castriel asked and he just smiled at me.
The dinner went great, we enjoyed the food. Clara went back to her jolly self just like nothing happened. 
"That was so good! I'm so full!" Holding her tummy, she stood up and went into the living room.
I followed her while Castriel was left in the kitchen, promised he would wash the dishes. Hmmm, should I adopt him?
"Oh Mary, have you heard?!" I can see the excitement in her eyes as she let those words out.
"About what?" I asked, confused. 
"About the announcement of royals!" My brows curled. Announcement huh?
"Uh, I think I've never heard about it." What could it be? Mamimigay ba sila ng libreng pagkain? Kung oo, aba'y saan at kailan?
"You're kidding right?" Umiling naman ako.
I heard her let out a deep sigh. "The majesties had announced that every woman on Seven Heavens will be given a letter!" 
"A letter? For what?" Are we villagers now invited for some tea party or something?
"To serve for the prince!" Nagulat ako nang bigla itong tumayo at nagsasasayaw.
"All women?" I asked and she nodded.
"Imagine Mary, having a prince by your side. Isn't is romantic?" I can see how obsessed she is with the prince but why is it just women?
"That's discrimination," I turned my head to Cas. "Why is it just women?" You got that right Cas.
"For your information, it wouldn't look nice if the prince will have a man as a maid," Clara has a point though.
"And what about butlers? Would you please explain?" Cas grinned.
Clara just rolled her eyes. "You know too much. Anyways, I have to go, it's nearly dark and I have things to do."
"Oh okay okay," I stood up and took her outside where her horse is tied. Castriel also followed.
