"I can do this too," Joanna announced. She adjusted her red long sleeve and afterwards stretched forth both of her hands.
A red flame which was exactly like Raymond's' emerged from her right palm.
"This is cool," Raymond complimented and smiled back at the lady whose sweet smile he found so attractive.
"And this too," She mumbled, causing a green flame to appear on her left palm.
"Whoa... You can summon different kinds of flames. This is the first time I have seen this and it's super cool," Raymond, who never knew such stuff existed gave her a thumbs up along with his compliments.
"That is not all I can do," Joanna grinned and within a blink of an eye she was no longer in the same spot she was.
Raymond, who was waiting to see what other cool stuff she had in store for him, panicked when he didn't see her.
ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm "Miss Butterfly," Raymond called out to her. He looked around him but she was nowhere to be seen.
"Searching for me?" Joanna muttered after resurfacing behind him. She startled the guy who didn't expect this move from her.
"You can teleport too...,"
"Don't tell me you can also do that?" Joanna asked with widened eyeballs.
"They are so many amazing things I can do other than manipulating wind, fire and teleportation...,"
"Other amazing stuff like what?" Joanna demanded, not able to hide her eagerness.
"Like making it snow and giving a firework show with my fireballs," Raymond replied casually.
Although these two people who were having the best time of their lives were in the midst air they didn't show any form of fear.
It was as if they had done this too many times to get bothered by the height.
"You can do those things?" Joanna asked. Raymond sensed a hint of doubt in her voice as she asked him this question.
"Yeah... And I would have loved to show you that but unfortunately, I can't. People will troop in here and disturb our privacy if I put on a firework show," Raymond replied.
He was waiting to hear her say something but she didn't utter a word but instead kept staring at his right hand instead.
"Don't tell me, you don't believe me...,"
"Of course not. I don't see a reason why you would lie to me," Joanna snapped out of her daze the instant he touched her hand.
"Instead I was just thinking of adding a firework show as one of our performances...,"
"If you are asking me to put on a firework show in front of the entire Kingdom you know that is not possible," Raymond cut in abruptly.
"Apart from Rick, you are the only one in the Kingdom who knows about my powers...,"
"And you are also the only person I have discussed my powers with. Even Drey doesn't know a thing about this. The first time she knew I possessed such powers was in front of a crowd on campus," Joanna confessed. As she talked she could feel her nervousness gradually get washed away.
"Also when I said we were gonna put on a firework show, it's not gonna require using your powers but we are gonna do it like a magic trick. I am sure people are going to love it," Joanna explained.
Merely hearing people jubilate and cheer for their group made her eyes glimmer.
"A magic trick?" The once tense Raymond remarked. His tense nerves calmed down after he learned that he misunderstood her statement.
"Yeah, a magic trick. And it would just be perfect if we were the last group to perform on the last night. That way the firework show will crown all the three days' performance...,"
"That sounds fabulous. I am sure the others are gonna very much entertain this idea," Raymond cut in, excitement written all over his face.
"It does sound nice but how we are gonna make it look real and believable to the guest who will be present there makes me think twice about it...,"
"Rick loves stuff like this. You can leave this to him and I promise you that he won't disappoint you," Raymond vouched for his naughty friend who wasn't present there at the moment.
"Really?" Joanna asked suspiciously.
She has always known Derrick to be a playful person although she knew he wasn't a terrible person.
It wasn't surprising she had doubts about leaving such an important performance in his care.
"Yes. Also, I can teach you how to create a firework show since you can manipulate fire too...,"
"You are lying right?" Joanna asked. Her trembling hands and sparkling eyes showed she was about to burst out with excitement while waiting for Raymond's confirmation.
"Of course, I am telling the truth....," Joanna hopped onto Raymond's body before he could complete his sentence.
She was so overwhelmed with excitement that she forgot that they were still floating in the air.
"Miss Butterfly...,"
"I knew I could always count on you," Joanna mumbled, her grip around Raymond's neck tightened as she snuggled into his embrace.
Amos, whose aching heart could no longer handle the pain anymore, looked away from the two people who were still in each other's embrace.
[I have tried to make her tell me just a tiny bit about her powers but she wouldn't divulge anything no matter how hard I tried... It even got to a point that I had to bury my curiosity because I was afraid it would come in between our relationship but what is she doing now...]
Amos laughed at himself inwardly as he staggered away from the rooftop rails.
[Because I didn't want her to feel pressured or cornered, I was willing to wait for her until she was ready to tell me everything but look at her telling another man her secret and with so much ease at that... I was such a fool to believe that she would love me back if I showed her enough of my sincerity... How foolish you were Kayden Greyson]
Amos, who wasn't in his right senses, almost knocked over the wooden chair placed at the centre of the rooftop as he made his way toward the exit.
