Joel furrowed his brows and looked at the screen. For a mont his mind went blank before he turned to look at her face as she explained the ga with a serious expression and passion.
'could she be the one? Is she 'dancing in the sky?' the questions ca running in his mind as his gaze remained fixed on her.
Mirabel didn't know what was going on, she finished and turned to look at Joel and her lips brushed against his cheek and she blushed and stepped back.
''I I'm sorry. I didn't an to do that'' she said nervously.
''Can you answer one question for ?'' he asked her.
''Huh? Ask right away''
''What is your userna in this ga?''
''Dancing in the sky'' Mirabel ntioned and he stared at her. ''Why are you looking at like that'' she asked finding his gaze too penetrating and deep.
''I found you'' he murmured.
''Huh? You found who?''
''Nobody, let's go. Your mother must be ready with the tea'' Joel stood up.
''Oh, let's go''
...
''Mirabel, Joel, you two are back. Joel, sit down and have so tea'' Gloria said and took Joel's hand to the hall. He sat down together with Mirabel and took the tea from Gloria.
''Thank you, aunt'' he said politely.
''So, Joel, tell us about yourself'' Gloria smiled sheepishly.
''I am the only son of my parents and I have a little sister who is in senior high school''
''Your parents must be proud of you. Mira is our only child, so we are often worried about her but now that she has soone like you, we can be rest assured now. She might act impulsive at tis but she is a very innocent girl, she respects elders, so I'm sure your parents will love her''
''Mom, can you stop saying so much already?'' Mirabel lowered her face shyly as her ears turned red. Joel chuckled, finding her amusing. He kept thinking back to all the tis they played gas online, her fiery attitude. He couldn't believe she was the sa person and he just so happened to find out. He wondered how her reaction would be and what she would do after she find out he is her online ga husband. He suddenly felt a surge of affection the more he looked at her. she was sitting close to him and for the first ti, he was taking notice of the light freckles on her face, her pointed nose, her heart-shaped face, her lips that she kept licking subconsciously.
Joel shook his head and looked away. Just what was he doing? He couldn't believe he was thinking of her in such a perverted way. Now that he was looking back, it seed he had always treated her as a woman and not a friend. He just didn't realise it early but he had never for once thought of her as a friend. Was he really developing feelings for her or did those feelings already exist but he wasn't aware of it?
....
Mirabel was able to finally let her parents to let Joel off and she walked with him outside to see him off. she stood next to his car as he opened the door.
''Thank you for today''
''Don't thank yet, I will have to depend on you in case my mother and sister cos looking for you''
''Will they really co to look for ?''
''They will not waste this opportunity that I so happened to give to them myself''
''But, I always already nervous with my parents. What if I ss things up for you? I don't really know how to pretend, Joel''
''Just be yourself. I'm sure they will like you''
''But''
''Mirabel!!''
''Huh?''
''I have high hopes in you. Don't let down'' he said and entered into his car smiling. Mirabel stared at him confused.
''What kind of hopes does he have? Why do I suddenly feel like I just walked into the lion's den with my two feet?'' she shook her head and watched as Joel drove away.
...
Getting out of his car, Joel saw his mother and sister waiting by the entrance and he sighed and shook his head.
''Elder brother, where is sister in law?'' Jane asked her brother showing him the picture of Mirabel.
''You must have investigated about her already. Why do you bother to even ask ?''
''Wait!!!'' his mother commanded and he stopped at the door.
''Pick one. Are you bringing her here or do we have to go and et her ourselves?'' his mother said looking at him with a smirk and Jane stood next to her, mimicking her actions.
''I will bring her, but not because I am afraid of you. I am just afraid that you will scare her'' he said to them and the two ladies hit their hands against each other triumphantly.
''Then, before you do. Let know what she likes to eat, I will go and buy them tomorrow''
''Mom, are you thinking of eting her tomorrow?'' Joel asked looking surprised.
''Yes, we have to win her over fast. You are always slow with your relationships. What if soone takes her away from you?''
''Mom, let's make it next week. I have a eting tomorrow and Mirabel is busy with her thesis''
''Next week? Mom, what if he suddenly changes his mind?'' Jane asked looking at her mother.
''Next week, you won't change your mind, right? If you dare play tricks with , I will go and et her parents straight away'' his mother threatened.
''I promise, I need to get her prepared first, so that she doesn't get scared by you two'' Joel said and went inside.
''Mom, look at her picture again. isn't she pretty?''
''She is really pretty. I wonder how she looks in person. She must be soone Joel really cares about. Seeing how protective he is over her''
''Mom, does it an elder brother is settling down soon?''
''Maybe''
.
Joel walked out of the washroom wiping his hair with a small towel and his eyes fell upon his ga set on the table. he smiled and went to sit in front of it. his wet hair dripped down his bare chest as he sat wearing only a short pant that reached to his knee.
He locked into his ga and imdiately entered into the server and saw 'dancing in the sky' pacing about. He smiled and went up to her.
In the ga.
''My lonely heart beats for you' stood behind 'dancing in the sky and asked, ''what are you doing?''
''You are finaly here?'' she said and pulled him by the and towards their usual sitting place.
''What is it? You seem worried''
''Well, I have a question to ask you'' she sat next to him.
''Go ahead''
''You know, we are married in this ga, right?''
''Yes''
''And we promised to et after you returned from your business trip''
''Yes''
''Well, it isn't that I am bailing out on you but, sothing happened recently and I am really confused''
''Did you fall in love with soone?''
''How did you know that?'' she asked, obviously surprised.
''Tell about this person. I want to see how great he is, that way I can give you my blessing''
''I really feel bad now that you are ntioning about giving your blessings''
''Is he soone you knew already or did you just et that person recently?''
''Well, I've known him for a while but I really didn't see him that way. I just thought of him as maybe a friend. It's just that, he helped out and I suddenly feel that he isn't so annoying as I thought. I feel comfortable around him and he even supports ''
''It seems you care more about this person?''
''I don't really know whether I am there yet, but I feel that if he suddenly asks to be his girlfriend, I might not be able to reject him, plus he is just so handso''
''Really? More than ?''
''I haven't seen you in person but so far, he is the most handso in my eyes''
''Then, how about we et in person. That way, you can make your decision of who is more handso than the other''
''Huh? It's that necessary?''
''Yes, it is. I want to et you in person. If after seeing , you still like that person, I will annul our marriage here so that you can get to be with him''
''Oh, then, I will leave my number with you. Just let know when you are ready to see ''
''Let's et tomorrow''
''Huh? That fast? But, I am not ready yet''
''Then, get ready. I won't give you up without a fair play''
''Okay!!!'' she looked flustered and suddenly heard his laughter and looked up, ''why are you laughing?''
''I was ssing with you. Did you have to put on such a strange expression?''
''The truth is I've not had two n fight over , so I don't know how I will be able to handle that'' she confessed.
''Let's just et tomorrow. Who knows, I might just be so that you know''
