Chapter 174: AI Alice Vs August Maijune 12
'"I want you to make a special perfume for me to give to him. That perfume will always remind him of me'' Julieta said and Maijune looked at her with a ridiculed expression ''what?'' Julieta asked.
''Jules, in case you haven't noticed. I am not Mai. I can't do such things'' Maijune said.
''But, all of you are now sharing the same memory. You must know how to make a perfume. Besides, August Maijune last said Mai left a book containing the formulae of different kinds of perfumes that are customised. Can't you look into that book and make something for me?'' Julieta asked.
''I am not cut out for what those two girls like doing. I only know how to do three things; eat, sleep and fight. That's all'' Maijune said and Julieta lowered her head sadly.
''Well, I can still help you to make something for him. I mean, it doesn't have to be a perfume, right?'' Maijune asked and Julieta nodded her head.
''I wanted a perfume but I can settle for something else. What will you make for me?'' Julieta asked.
''Perfumed candle. He can keep it in his room. Its fragrance can help him sleep soundly after a hard day'' Maijune said.
''Then, let's make it right away'' Julieta said happily.
''Let me check if Mai has left some candles around here. I will use a simple perfume formula I know. There are a lot of scents on that shelf, open it and choose the one you want. I will go and get the candles'' Maijune said and stood up. she went into another room that Mai always stored some of her materials.
Julieta opened the shelf and scanned through the various scents that were available. She decided on a lavender scent. Maijune returned with some wax for the candle. She walked to the rekindled tube and placed the wax under it and turned to Julieta asking.
''What type of shape do you want us to make?''
''Love shape'' Julieta said and Maijune smiled.
''I thought as much'' Maijune said. Julieta stood next to Maijune.
First Maijune assembled the supplies she needed which were 10 ounce of soy wax flakes, candle wick with a metal base, the lavender oil scent that Julieta chose, dried lavender flowers which were already in the store room, a glass measuring cup and a pencil and a pair of hand gloves.
Maijune started the whole procedure by putting on her hand gloves before she started melting the soy corn wax inside the double boiler under the rekindled fire tube. While it was melting, she prepared the jar that she would pour the liquid candle into and placed the pencil she had initialy wrapped the wick around in the middle of jar and left it to rest along the top.
Maijune checked the soy flakes and they were liquefied, she picked the boiler and poured the wax into the love shaped glass container. She told Julieta to hold the pencil, keeping the wick in place so that it will not shift to one side.
After pouring the wax into the container, she added the lavender scented oil into the melted wax and stirred it gently. She added a teaspoon of dried lavender flowers and some natural scented mint perfume in to the melted wax.
Julieta watched with admiration for the simple and yet sincere gift that Maijune had helped her to make.
''What time are you going to see Dr. Kash? This needs to sit and fully set for a while before we can do the rest of the designs and packaging'' Maijune said to Julieta.
''Is still a little early, I will wait for it to settle before I go'' Julieta said.
''Then, you are free to use my room. I'm going back to sleep'' Maijune said and they left the candle in the lab and went to the hall.
''I will sleep for a while. Go back to bed, thank you Maijune'' Julieta said and hugged Maijune.
''Just don't wake me up this late next time. We could have done this last night if you had said earlier'' Maijune said as they walked the stairs.
.......
Kash woke up in the morning and was making himself a ginger drink after taking his bath. His luggage was already in the hall. He poured the ginger drink into a cup and was about to drink when his doorbell rang. He looked at the time and frowned murmuring ''Aaron Saint won't come at this time to send me to the airport?''
Kash opened the door and saw Julieta standing in front of him. She held a box in her hands as she looked at him.
''Julieta? Is still early, what are you doing here?'' Kash asked her.
''I came to see you off at the airport. August Maijune and the others will arrive soon so I decided to come earlier than the planned time so that I can give this to you'' Julieta said and pushed the small box into his hands and went into the hall. Kash closed the door and turned to her.
''What is in it?'' Kash asked and she pointed at the box with her chin as she spoke.
''Open it and see if you like it'' she said proudly.
Kash chuckled and opened the box and saw its contents. He looked at her saying ''you bought me a candle?''
''I didn't buy it. I made it. Eell, technically Maijune was the one who made it but I was the one who chose the scent. I wanted to give you something but after thinking about it, I could only come out with this one'' Julieta said and looked at him.
''This is more than enough. I love it. Is such a thoughtful gift'' Kash said and hugged her. Julieta blushed as she looked at him.
"Is good, as long as you like it'' Julieta said.
''I love it but I love the one who brought it to me more'' Kash said and looked into her eyes.
''Are you confessing to me?'' Julieta asked as she bit her lips.
''What do you think?'' Kash asked her back.
''Then, am I now your type? You even kissed me yesterday at the airport. Are we a couple now?'' Julieta asked and Kash chuckled.
''I don't kiss a woman I don't like. Wait for me to return, Julieta. I will make you the happiest woman in the world'' Kash said and kissed her, Julieta responded and Kash pushed her down on the sofa and got on top of her. His hand started roaming all over her body and entered inside her blouse. Julieta blushed as she felt his hand on her skin. Kash didn't stop there, he kissed her face down to her neck. He stopped just at her cleavage and looked at her saying in a hoarse voice.
''Let's leave the rest for when I return'' Kash got off her and Julieta blushed and looked away.
''Is almost time. Maijune and Aaron Saint will be here any time soon. You should do something about that'' Julieta said and looked away as she pointed at his erection.
''Want to help me deal with it?'' Kash teased her and stood up. He held her chin and turned her to face him and kissed her one last time before going to his room.
Soon as Kash returned dressed in a casual attire, the door also rang and Julieta went and opened it. Maijune and Liyah looked at Julieta teasingly as they entered the hall.
''You are here?'' Kash said as he put the box Julieta brought into one of his luggage.
''Are you done?'' Aaron Saint asked.
''Yes, let's leave now'' Kash answered and handed one of his luggage to Aaron Saint while he held one in his hands.
Behind them, Maijune and Liyah held Julieta side by side as they walked out. They bombarded her with questions.
''Tell me, did you just kiss him only?'' Liyah asked.
''Didn't you go further? He is going for a year and a half and you didn't do anything besides kissing?'' Maijune asked.
''Well, we can go further after he returns'' Julieta said shyly.
''Wow, you will wait for his return. Julieta, I am quite proud of you'' Liyah teased her.
''Then, I as his beloved patient will take over the position of taking care of you until his return. I will make sure all the boys stay far away once school starts'' Maijune said and they got into the back seat of Aaron Saint's car and left for the airport.
Airport.
Aaron Saint, Maijune and Liyah stood at a distance as they watched Kash and Julieta have their own personal time.
''I missed the first feelings of attraction. The naivety and the shyness. I also miss Leo'' Liyah said and Maijune and Aaron Saint shook their heads.
''You husband and wife won't understand the feelings of someone whose husband is not around. Maybe Julieta will understand me better. She is about to let go of her lover's presence'' Liyah added.
Kash looked at Julieta's face and smiled saying ''I will call you every day when I have the time. If I don't, I will send you a message. Here, the keys to my apartment. You can go there anytime you want'' Kash told Julieta.
''You have to take care of yourself. If you get yourself a blonde, I will come there and kill the both of you'' Julieta said and Kash chuckled.
''No need to kill anyone because I will be coming back to you'' Kash said and kissed her in the presence of the others before going away.
Liyah and Maijune blushed and said at the same time ''that was so cute''. Aaron Saint shook his head and turned saying.
''Let's go''
