The Elementals #1, Kiki XoXo [book club suggestions txt] 📗

day in the garden,  she was trying to figure out if I like her at all.  "She kissed me  for like two seconds." He sighs, wiping his lips as if he could still feel it. "When I brought you up though she freaked out. We walked away off in the oposite direction you ran, and she wasn't happy with me." He practucally laughs. I smile, good the slut better stay away!

 

"Here is your meals!" Molly places our food in front of us. Giving me a cookie as well, and a class of apple juice. I love this women more and more!  I take a bit of my BLT and I practically moan from the taste. What ever this women makes is perfect! "Glad you like it." Then she is off.

 

"Try this." Sebastien holds out a bite of his food, it does look good. I love mac-n-cheese and bacon so . . . I don't turn it down. It was good very good, and through out the times while we are eating we each take bites of each others food.  I laugh when his cookie gets to soggy with milk and fall into his glass. It is even  more funny  watching him try and get it out without spilling milk everywhere. Once we finish eating, Molly takes our dishes. She gives me a stern mother look that I don't understand. I brush it off. Oh well.

 

Sebastien end up giving me a tour of the castle, without me even saying anything about it. Showing me the huge dinning room, and the ball room.  Multiple rooms that have special names I don't remember! Then I points out bedrooms but doesn't open doors. First Chaston's then his parents, and farther down the hall is his.

 

"Wow, you have a beautiful home." I sigh looking out the window across the hall. It shows a garden as well. "How big is the garden?" I ask, and he laughs.

 

"There are three different gardens, the two smallest ones are on the sides, which is this one and the one on the other end of the castle. The one with all the fountains is the biggest and it's in the middle of the back yard." He informs me.

 

"Must have a lot of gardeners." I quip, and he laughs now. His laugh melts my heart. He  Turns leaning against the wall,  quiet now.  Did I say something wrong? Maybe the gardener thing was a bit rude? Even though it was s joke.  "Hey, I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend you." I apoligize, trying to hide my confusion.

 

"You didn't offend me at all." He scoffs. Then what is wrong?  "You are so much like what you were like, yet you are so different." He states, were is he going with this?  "I like the new you." He keeps reading my mind. He likes the new me? That's good right.  "Lyra." He breaks my thinking.

 

"Yeah?" I say nervously.

 

"When you see Dr. Drake, don't let him or anything he does to you change you." He asks in a begging tone. That's a good thing isn't it? He saying he likes me the way I am, I'm partly sure he is the only one who has ever said that to me!

 

"Didn't plan on it." I whsiper, and he grabs my hand. Then pulls it to his lips, and lays a feather light kiss. "What was that for?" I ask, blown away. His lips shocked me, like lightening. I wonder if he felt that?

 

"Until the next time." He smiles, Gentily return my hand to me. "You're dad is coming." He whispers, and I barely hear him again. I  glance out of the corner of my eye, yup there Garret is. 

 

"Bye Sebastien." I wave, leaving with Garret after we all chit chatted for while. Sebastien heads into his room, and Garret and I are off. I'm going to see him in my dreams tonight, I can feel it already.

Chapter 8- Advice (Lyra's POV)

The ride home from the castle is painfully quiet, and I dreading the second we get home. I'm going to get the talk, I can feel it. No, not the sex talk, the talk about him being a prince and me not being a princess. I understand, we can't be together I don't plan on being together. When the wagon comes to a stop, I hop out without a word heading straight into the house. I hang around in to living room waiting for them. Might as well get it over with. Taking a seat in the small little lounge chair, I look at the cieling begging for this talk to not be as hard as I think it might be. I can already feel my heart cracking a little, even though I've only talked to the boy two or three time. Why do I already have such strong feelings?!

 

"Lyra?" Molly yells walking into the house. Here goes nothing.

 

"Here." I reply, and Garret and her make there way into the room. Sitting down on the couch across the room from me, they both lean forward grip their hand together, and look at the floor. "Yeah?" I ask, hoping they could hurry it up. I mean a girl can only get her heart broken once right . . . thats wrong.  Tatum. His name echos through my head. Forget it, he is gone and Sebastien is back right in his place. 'NO! OFF LIMITS' I mentally yell at myself. Remembering his laugh, and smile, then I try and push him out as well.

 

"Lyra,  you and the pri-" Garret begins, finally some one does. I can't hear it though.

 

"I got it. Sebastien and me, are a  big no no." I interupt, and watch them both screw their mouths shut. "He is a  prince... I get it. He has duties and stuff,  I wasn't going to go there anyways." I sigh, and they both sigh with small smiles. I'm doing the right thing! I finally get Sebastien out.

 

"Ice cream anyone?" Garret asks clapping his hands together and the rubbing them creating friction. I jump up racing him to the kitchen, Grabbing caramel and chocolate from the fridge, I set them on the counter. then wath him as he makes three perfect sundaes. Putting away the chocolate and caramle when he is done I spot the little jar of cherries.Grabbing that, I bring it out setting one on the top of each bowl. Then I grab one and Garret takes the other two to the dining room, where Molly is waiting with the board game Sorry.  Taking a seat oposite of her, I take the first bite of my sundae. I haven't had one in a while, the only time I got onw was if Harris took Sean and I out to the ice cream parlor. Which happen three times in two years. Otherwise he nice had ice cream in the house.

 

"Sorry!" I laugh moving Garret back to his home on the board, then moving my person thing there. I'm having good luck tonigh, I already have two people home and I just go another one close. Garret doesn't have any yet, and Molly has one. I take another bite from my bowl, it's almost gone now so I'm taking smaller bites to savor it. Garret mumbles something under his breath, and Molly and I giggle. He is really having the worst of luck. After another couple rounds, I have only one person left on the board while the others still are the same. I take the last nite of my ice cream, and the cherry as well. So good! I might just eat one of those every night, then I glance at my tummy. Maybe not. I smile, and watch as Garret get's his first sorry of the night. He moves Molly person back home, the he puts his piece down with proud thud.

 

In the background I here a phone start ringing, and Molly excuses herself from the table.  While she is gone on the phone Garret and I take to ince cream bowls, and clean up the dirty dishes. Once we finish Molly is still on the phone, so I strike up a conversation about the day and how fun it was shopping. When Molly comes back, her mood has gone down hill.

 

"What's wrong?" Garret asks right away. She doesn't look my way once.  "Ah... I think you should go get ready for bed." Garret says, reaching for my hand across the table. I nod slowly. Now what? Saying  good night to them both, I head up the stairs open and close my bedroom door. Then I head to the top of the stairs and listen.  "Molly?" Garret asks again, I can here feet shuffling.

 

"He is coming, Garret." Molly starts to cry. I can hear sniffle, and more feet shuffling. "Dr. Drake he is early."  She adds. There is a long silence. Dr. Drake? The guy who is coming to see me about my memories? How early? What? Why?  Questions race through my mind.

 

"When will he be here?" Garret asks, then there is a sound like blowing a nose.

 

"He is already at the palace, got here an hour ago." She sobs now, and Garret tries to comfort her.  I almost start crying myself.

 

"Isn't this what you wanted?"  He whispers, I can barely hear him.

 

"I don't know." She says calming down. "Spending the day with her, the new her.  She is Happy Garret, what if getting her memories back changes her for the worst?" She says.

 

"What if it helps her?" Garret questions, I can't tell what side he is on!

 

"Are we willing to take that risk?" Molly asks, that's when I leave. Actually going into my room, I head straight to bathroom.  Turning on the shower, and then I get right in. I showered washing my body  and hair trying to forget the conversation I just heard. It sounds like Molly doesn't want to go through with it, but Garret is right in the middle. Finsihing up my hair, I reach out for a towel.

 

"Darn." I sigh, I didn't grab one. Getting ready to  hop out a towel is placec in my hands. That's not normal! Pulling my ahnd back I  wrap myself up, and the peek out. "Really? What the hell!? " I say throwing one of my many bottles of soap at him. Vampire guy is back.

 

"Hey just do-" He begins grabbing the bottle, obviously he would catch it.

 

"You job... yeah I got it." I sigh. "You can leave now, I'm in the shower and I'm okay." I  growl. He chuckles.

 

"Not tonight sweet heart. Tatum wants to talk to you." He smiles eviliy. Then he is behind me and hes arms are holding me tight. Then I feel tingly and the pull, he has a stone? The my feet are on hard wood floor, I look around the empty room. Nothing, just wood floor and black walls.  Out of now where I huge four poster bed appears. It's a dark brown wood color, with a black bedding set. Looking closer at the blanket I see the intrackit purple lace like design, then under my feet shaggy black rug appears. Slowly more and more furniture appears,  A plum purple leather couch with black throw pillows, Dark wood dresser and
