"Actually it's nothing much but I want to thank Lady Maxim *suddenly bows towards her*"
"Thank me? But why? And please don't bow before me it makes me look like an ill mannered child." Sam said as she started panicking.
.
"Lady Maxim--- do you know what? You really remind me myself. And I somehow fell glad about it--- and the reason for my thanks is as simple as that if not for you Ash would have been very lonely. So thank you for coming in our family, thank you for becoming his friend, thank you for listening to him and his nagging." Irene said as she held her hands.
.
"Lady winter, all that I did were because Ashton is a really good person. He never acts superior and he treats people the way they should be not minding their age or status. He is truly one of kind."
.
And he mustn't know this but he has truly earned my respect and aside form Molly if I ever idolize anyone I know for sure it's going to be him." Sam said as she smiled towards Irene.
.
"I too feel that Ash would feel the same towards Lady Maxim." Irene said as she looked at Sam whose smile seems to have faded away with the last sentence left her lips.
.
"Sorry but I don't think Ashton would ever feel the same towards me. I mean there is so much about him to admire and look at and when it comes to me there is none and I must more like a follower then a friend of his." Sam said while looking out of the carriage.
.
"And how does Lady Maxim knows that? How is Lady Maxim sure that Ashton has never seen you as a friend? Well as far as I can see I feel that he more or less has already took you as his friend, for him you are truly some irreplaceable." Irene said as the carriage entered the winter Mansion and Irene left the carriage first whereas Sam sat there shocked by her words.
.
"Me and Irreplaceable? That too form Ashton's life. Do I really mean that much to him?" Sam talked to herself as she squeeked with happiness.
.
"Oh, sister you returned early?" Ash who just met Irene in the hallway asked as his eyes looked around her.
"Yeah we got everything we wanted fast so we returned early.. what about you? Are you going out for practice?"
.
"Yeah, I was getting bored alone anyway so I just thought of practicing instead of just laying around."
"That good then keep going." Irene said as she walked past him.
.
"Wait sister, umm where is Sam? Didn't she come back with you?" He asked while touching his left ear.
"Ah- so are we finally talking?" Irene said as she smirked.
.
"Whats wrong sister why are you giving me that look?"
"You! You are my brother yet how can you be so cold? Do you know beavhse of your pull and push attitude, poor lady Maxim has been getting confused about your relation. She even thought herself as your lackey/follower but not a friend." Irene scolded Ash as he glared at him but as she saw Sam coming towards them her whole attitude changed and suddenly she started patting his back.
.
"No problem, brother mistakes happen form people it's fine just learn form your mistakes and don't repeat it again." Irene said as she kept petting his shoulders and confused Ash just had a big question mark on his face.
.
"What are you doing?" Ash asked in a low voice and before Irene could answer her Sam xam in between.
"What are you two talking about?" Sam said as she joined them form behind and Ash suddenly felt the stiffness in his body to get loose and more or less he was feeling more confident then nervous.
.
"Lady Maxim, we were just talking about a game he lost in because of his silly mistakes. Anyway why are you her?"
"Oh, I just felt like taking a stroll in the garden and clearing my mind a bit." She said while massaging the end of her forhead.
.
"You might have got travel sickness continue your walk and take *pushes at Ash* him with you. He needs fresh air to clear his mind too." Irene saying that left both the young kids with different mindset alone.
.
"Umm, so shall we go for a walk?" Sam suggested with her usual cheerfulness.
"En"
.
"Sam, do you find any similarities in Sister and me?"
"Similarities between Lady Winter and you? Well you two---"
"You can't right. Even though we are siblings we still differ a lot form each other. Be it either physical, mental or emotional we are tempted different."
.
"Thats true but why are we talking about it? And what wrong with being different it's not written anywhere that siblings must be identical." Sam said as she kneeled down and plucked out a little wild flower.
.
"Right, we don't need to be identical but it's just that sometimes I feel as if like I don't fit into this family....you know our family name is related to the cold and deadly winter but none of our members are like that except for me." Ash said as he looked at the flower in her hand which was the only different coloured wild flower.
.
"Doesn't that sound good to you? I mean you would be the first to justify your family name." Sam said as she joked around.
.
"Sam, does my coldness really not bother you?"
Ash finally asked as he looked at her with his pricing eyes.
Sam who didn't expect this question from him stood there frozen.
.
"Sam don't play freeze here and answer me...does my coldness really not bother you?"
"....It really doesn't bother me because your coldness is a charm. Although sometimes I get confused about whether I should stay or leave with you?" Sam said as she gave out a silly smile.
.
"Then would you not feel confused if I clear up your doubts?" Ash asked with a serious look on his face.
"I---"
"Samira Pearl Maxim, I Ashton Maven Winter has taken you as a friend whom I will stand with through thick and thin. No matter how bad the days get I would never let go of your hand, you are precious to me and you are my first ever friend, Sam." Ash confessed as he put his hands on her arms without breaking the eye contact.
.
"....What should I say?..." Sam asked as she started to feel a lots of things at the same time and all of her inside we're tingling.
.
"Don't say anything just nod your head if you understood my point and cleared your doubts." Ash asked as he flicked her forhead.
"Ouch! I understood everything and the clouds over my head cleared up too." She said while grinning.
.
"Your spirt animal must be a rabbit." He said while pushing her a bit.
"Hey! And why would you say so?" Sam asked as she followed him.
.
"Just my intuitions says so~ but your legs are too slow for a rabbit."
"Ashton! Stop making fun of me!"
"what if I don't?"
"Ashton! I will hit you then."
"Really then try your luck and hit me if you can." He said while sticking out his tongue which triggered Sam and the game of chasing each other till it gets hard to breathe started.
.
"Both of them look so happy and cheerful." Irene who has been looking at them form some corner said as she smiled at their energy which didn't seem to slow down even with the setting sun.
.
"Shouldn't I be praised for this? Afterall it was my decision to being Samira here." Raymond who was also standing beside him asked.
"You are right, you should be praised too. *Tip toes* Good work father, I am proud of you." Irene said as she patted his shoulders.
.
"Thank you so much for the praise and if my daughter wants I can find one for you too."
"Thanks for the offer but I would reject it, because unlike Ash I have too many friends and-- I just remembered that we made a plan to meet up after coming out." Irene said as she clapped her hands.
.
"Are you taking about the ladies you meet at the palace?"
"Yes, I am taking about them. They are all kind and good and they helped me a lot diurnal my stay there." Irene said as she looked at the sky.
.
"Well if it's like that then you should surely hang out with them and treat them nicely. Hwo about you hold a tea party?" Raymond suggested as he looked at Irene.
"A tea Party....I must think about it...but beife that I should sent them a letter and know about their schedules." Irene said as she crossed her arms and smiled looking at Ash and Sma bickering around.
.
"(Looking at them really brings back soem good old memories...although they were pretty much fake....)" Irene thought as she took a deep breath.
