Chapter 5 Call a spade a spade

Diamond's POV

Gabrielle as always been a very troublesome child. She is the most arrogant and self centered. And she likes looking for unnecessary attention.

She like to use sarcasm to upset her opponent just like what she said earlier,

"Even if you dress a donkey in gold, it would never be as elegance as a horse "

We all knew she is indirectly mocking Zetian somehow. Zetian as always been the kind and gentle but somehow I think she is kind of wary of me. Am closer to her than any of the sisters ,am most comfortable around her unlike others.

Just about an hour later, Mariah finished styling Zetian's hair and mother complements her for her services. I was in complete awe...

Zetian looks so beautiful in her new hairstyle.

You look awesome sister. 'I commented ' and she said

"Thanks dearie, you ain't looking bad either".

That is just one of my habits. I like complementing good people and things, just like to 'call a spade a spade' Even Zet can't stop admiring her hairstyle in the mirror.

"Am so glad to be blessed with the most beautiful girls in the world. You girls looks so amazing and am proud of you babies' Thanks for growing beautifully I love you babies! "'Mother say with so much feelings of profound love and admiration ' and we replied in unison.

Just when we are relishing the happy moments in an absolute decorum that bitch Gabrielle just break the muteness by asking Zetian an inexplicable question given the fact they are like 'water and fire'.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" Gabrielle asked.

That was a direct question. We all knew princess Zet is secretive in nature. She would only share what she wants you to know .

She tried to ignore the question but as adamant as Gabrielle was, she asked the question again but this time she asked more like yelling.

"ZET! Stop neglecting and answer the damn question. You gat a boyfriend or nah?!"

I don't really get why Gabrielle is so interested in Zet love life. It's not like we care anyway. Pardon me am also curious as well so is everyone cause we were all looking at Zet with curiosity...

"NO! I don't have a boyfriend Have I introduce anyone to you lately? So don't f*cking yell at me ever you 'boor' " she replied angrily and I can sense she was lying.

But why?

Why is she lying to everyone?

Though I do not know if she's in a relationship or nah but I can sense the uneasiness in her tone, her facial expression betrayed her.

so I can only conclude on two things... "Princess Zetian has a boyfriend " and..

"She is lying to us about it"

Well, don't underestimate me cause I know more than you say, think more than you speak and notice more than you realize.

But the question is,

'who the fuck is her boyfriend?'

'Why the heck are they keeping the relationship secret?'

'Was it Zetian's fucking idea or the so called boyfriend idea to conceal there relationship?'

As I was lost in my thoughts, Zetian's last word to Gabrielle drove me back to my senses.

`bitch'!"Learn and know when to shut up ,ok. Your mouth can block your blessings "

Wow!

That was intense.

Zet left the room angrily after dropping that bomb on Gabrielle's head (chuckles)

As my curiousness was eating me up I have to follow princess Zet as to find answer to my unanswered questions.... Nosey-parker right?! Yes, i know (Wink)

it is just that I like and care about Zetian a lot. Out of the sisters she's my favorite and am hers too.

I followed her until she stopped at the bar and start gulping wine directly from the bottle which I know Mama will reprimand her if she get caught by her because it's number four of the 'Royal etiquette' which we were taught right from month zero.

I move closer to her and extract the wine bottle from her hand forcefully.

I wave my hand to dismiss the maids in the bar room and they all left.

What the heck Zetian!

Are you crazy! ' I say annoyingly'

Get the hell away from me..(Zetian yells and grab another bottle of wine from the bar and start drowning her sorrows in whiskey)

This time I took the bottle from her fiercely and smashed it on the floor.

Zet. Wake up and grow up okay! 'I say with a flare of rage and sit my ass on the couch with a straight face'

"After waking up from her daze, she sitted besides me on the double seater couch and we both laugh out loud"

Uhm..

Am sorry for yelling at you DIA! 'She says laughingly'

Am sorry too..

I..I mean for disrespecting and all. 'I muttered innocently'

"We both sighs and smiles"

You know, I .. am so peeved about venting my anger on Gabrielle earlier ..Though she can be naughty atimes but she's but my cute little sister after all. I shouldn't have say that much to her. I..I..I should have ignore her nevertheless. That is rule number fifteen on the 'Royal etiquettes' and I broke the damn rules. (zetian say nervously).

No.. no!! Fuck rules, fuck etiquettes.

Zetian stop being so hard on yourself. Gabrielle was so rude to you earlier and according to 'etiquettes sixteenth' she broke royal rules too.

Look Zet, never change your personality for the sake of others...because no one can play your role better than you. okay( pause )

You're the best when you are yourself 'I added'

You always have your way with words. lawless bitch! 'she whine and smiles'

Whose daughter am I again?!

(we both laugh our heart out)

We are both in complete silence for some minutes before I broke the silence.

Zet, you know you can always confide in me (pause )Am always here for you like forever. 'I said referring to the boyfriend issue earlier'

She looks at me for some times before she averted her gaze from me'

DIA..!

You know I love you right? 'She uttered'

'I nodded with my head'

I hope you can trust me on this, okay!

Yeah! Okay!!

(We smiles and hold hands)

"Her phone rings and she excuse herself in haste "

Hmm...I need to receive this,it's urgent (she say and left hurriedly)

Too much secret

(Sigh)
