Deceptions, Kassie [classic literature books txt] 📗

“What are you doing on this liner? Vacation? Work?”
Rinzy looked at him shyly, “Vacationing with my sister, we needed time away from home.”
Then she turned her head and peered down the hallway where there were about three more people coming their way and realized that she didn’t want to stand here anymore so all the people around could here what they were talking about.
So she stared to walk by, but he just got up off the wall and followed her.
“My names Lucas, and what is yours?” He said as she walked out toward the deck
She kept walking and turned her head “ Rinzy.”
He kept on looking at her and she was starting to feel uncomfortable.
She turned “ Is there something I can help you with?”
“ No, just looking for my friend.”
“ Then why are you following me?” Rinzy asked
He just shrugged my friends out on the deck swimming and since your heading that way…..”
“LUCAS!” someone yelled
He turned his head and looked to see Navaeh walking toward him with a mad look on her face.
He just sighed and turned “Hey, my friend found me. See you around?”
Rinzy smiled back “Yea see you.”
Navaeh got there in time to see her walk away and see Lucas stare after her.
“What are you thinking?” She asked at him.
His smile went away “What I was walking down the hall and she ran into me!”
Navaeh’s eyes narrowed “So instead of walking away like we talked about you talked to her.”
He just nodded “Yea and I was on my way to find you and Kellan. I thought you guys went out swimming so I was on my way to the deck and I ran into her.”
She continued to look at him
“What do you think I should have done ran down the hallway?”
She shook her head “No, I guess you’re right at least she won’t think anything about a guy
just talking to her.”
He smiled “You want to know what we talked about, huh?”
She sighed “Yea, and I don’t want you to leave anything out.”
Lucas took a deep breath “She bumped into me said ‘sorry’ and then I said it was okay we looked at each other for a while. I complimented her and then I asked her name, which just so happens to be Rinzy by the way, and then I asked her what she was doing on the liner and she said she was just vacationing with her sister. Then I told her I was looking for you, and then you yelled and here I am. Good enough for you? I wasn’t with her for more than five minutes.”
Navaeh nodded “Yea that’s good. Hey do you know where-…………What was that name?”
Lucas smiled “Rinzy”
Navaeh’s eyes widened “Your following around Phoebe and Oliver’s daughter?!”
Lucas smiled “Yea so?”
Navaeh’s eyes widened “Oliver is going to kill you!”
Lucas just shook his head “Why would he? He said so himself, he misses his daughter and I bet that other girl is also his. He told me that he wouldn’t trust anyone else with what is his.”
Navaeh nodded her head, “Yea and he was talking about objects! You know like his diamonds
and other stuff?”
Lucas just nodded and continued to stare at her “Yea, I guess I understand what you were saying.”
Navaeh just shook her head “What until Oliver hears what’s going on. He’ll kill you.”
Lucas nodded “Okay I will try to stay away from her.”
Navaeh watched him.
“Doubt it” She mumbled softly.
Lucas was so into the conversation he wasn’t paying attention when she walked by him smiling and laughing at something her sister had said.
Navaeh watched as his eyes changed. They went from icy and glowing to dark and intense.
She watched his eyes follow her across the deck and to the chair on the side of the deck.
She nodded when he shook his head and mumbled “I’m going back to the room.”
He turned swiftly and walked back to the elevator and disappeared.
She sat there and studied the girl as she talked “Rinzy” she murmured
Then Kellan came up behind her and asked, “What are you doing?”
She turned, “Watching the girl.”
Kellan turned, “So what did you find out?”
She turned her head and raised her eyebrow, “Eavesdropping?”
He smiled, “A little, come on spill.” He said looking at her with a pleading face.
Navaeh sighed, “It’s Oliver and Pheobe’s daughter, Rinzy and that girl with her is her sister. Lucas didn’t have time to get her name.”
Kellan’s mouth dropped and his eyes bulged for the second time that day, “Are you fucking serious?!”
Navaeh just nodded and kept watching everything Rinzy did.
“Oliver’s gonna kill him when he finds out! Wait. Have you called him yet?” Kellan asked.
“No, and I was kind of trying to put it off and now that you got it in my head he’ll know.”
Navaeh turned back to the rail, “I just wish we could get off this boat and forget this ever happened.”
Kellan nodded and turned to walk away when he remembered what he had come down there for.
“Oh, hey Zu said that if she doesn’t feed soon she’s going to turn on the people onboard so next stop we’re going hunting. Ok?”
Navaeh turned smiling, “I was going to ask you to talk her into going. Wow, she beat me to it.”
Then the horn blew they turned back to the water and watched the liner come upon the island.


Rinzy got up in the room and turned when Anetta came out of the bathroom.
“The captain just said we’re on one of the Italian Islands, ready to explore?”
Anetta looked at her sister, grabbed her baseball cap and skipped to Rinzy’s side.
“Ok, lets go.”
As they walked out to the gate that would open up to the island, they saw the two men and women and another equally beautiful women with them with nothing but what they had on their backs. Which to Rinzy’s mind wasn’t much, all they had on was their bathing suits and either a shirt or shorts.
Rinzy noticed that even though she hadn’t said anything the man she had met turned and stared at her with those icy blue eyes.
Anetta noticed it too. “What is the matter with him? Hasn’t he ever seen another person before he’s always staring at you!”
Rinzy looked down at her sister, “His name is Lucas.” She mumbled.
Anetta gave her sister a suspicious look, “And how may I ask do you know that?”
Rinzy looked down at her feet, “I literally ran into him and we started to talk, but then the blonde came running and yelling at him as if he was her kid and he was grounded….”
Anetta just looked at her sister, “So-“
She got cut off as everyone, including her sister started to go down the ramp onto the island.
She sighed and followed her sister onto the island.
Rinzy turned and waited until Anetta caught up to her.
“Will you sit still so I can ask you something?!” Anetta yelled.
Rinzy turned, “What?”
“So are you planning on ‘running into him’ again?” Anetta asked raising a brow.
Rinzy sighed, “I would like to but not literally next time. Now can we drop it and go shopping and sight seeing? This place is amazing!!!!” She said with her eyes darting in every direction.
Then her eyes settled on Lucas. He was staring at her with that slight smirk on his lips and hot look in his eyes. The look was so intense it had heat flowing through her body down to her toes.
As she stared back, he grinned as if he new what was going on and that he had caused it.
Then she walked forward and his grin widened. He met her halfway, “So are you going to walk around and enjoy the sights?” he said in that husky voice that held a hint of Britain. She began to wonder where exactly he was from.
She smiled back, “Yea, what about you off to see one of the most beautiful places in Italy?”
“Yea, I’ll also be seeing the beauty beyond the city.” He said with a hint of regret.
She tilted her head, “You don’t sound to happy about it.”
He laughed, “Yea, It’s annoying when me and my friends do it everywhere we go.”
She sighed when she heard Anetta shift next to her.
Lucas’s eyebrow raised, and Rinzy took a deep breathe.
“This is my little sister Anetta, Anetta this is Lucas.”
Lucas nodded to her without taking his eyes off of Rinzy.
Anetta said, “Hello, Nice to meet you. So what are you and your friends doing while we’re here in Italy?”
Lucas’s face sobered and looked her dead in the eyes for the first time. Anetta felt the shock that she saw Rinzy went through when he looked at her, but this was with cold not heat this look sent fear shimmering through her.
“I’m going to go hiking with my friends. Out beyond the city and by the time we’re done it’ll be time to go.” He said in a voice that sounded more depressed than excited at the adventure he was describing.
Then the blonde that Rinzy had saw him with the first time walked over. A smile spread across her face, and she said, “Hello, How are you?”
Her voice was the soft flutter that you expected from one of the little ten year old girls walking around.
“Okay, I’m Rinzy and this is Anetta. We’re from the U.S.” Rinzy said in a small voice.
“Oh, I’m Navaeh and we all are from Britain, we’re heading to meet with other family members in Madrid. So what are you doing on this cruise?”, she asked with a big smile on her face.
“Oh, we’re just vacationing. Our mom and dad passed away in a fire last year and this is the first time we’ve been out since. I guess we missed them and this helps us to keep up the tradition we had.” Rinzy said with a shrug. She saw the way Navaeh glanced at Lucas and Lucas just shook his head. Then Navaeh sighed, “It was nice meeting you. Come on Lucas Kellan and Zuzanna are waiting for us.”
He sighed, “Ok, I’m coming. See you later?” He said smiling at Rinzy.
Rinzy smiled back, unable to help herself. “Yea, we’ll be on the ship in an hour. All we’re doing is going shopping.”
“Ok, bye!” Lucas said, and after nodding to Anetta he followed Navaeh off to where Kellan and Zuzanna were waiting.
Rinzy sighed, “Ok, I really want to shop now, Let’s go.”
Her and Anetta turned and walked into the small town on the side of the mountain.
It had been two days since she even got a glance of Lucas. She wasn’t even sure he’d gotten back on the liner.
Rinzy sighed, “So, What do you want to do today?”
Anetta shrugged, “Up to you we’ve done about all there is to do on the liner.”
Rinzy took a deep breath, “Yeah, Your right. Hmmmmmm…. I know what we can do!”
Anetta looked at her suspiciously, “What?”
Rinzy smiled, “Lets go look around and make up names for all the hot guys we see.”
Anetta rolled her eyes, “Aren’t we a little old to be doing that sort of stuff?”
Rinzy’s grin vanished, “I thought you wanted to do something fun.” She said as she fell back on the unmade bed.
Anetta thought about it for a moment. Then smiled.
“Ok, I’ll do it as long as I get to call dibs on some.”
Rinzy rolled her eyes
