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

I thought the doctors coat made him look sexy.

 

"Hey Lyra!" Flora says scaring me.

 

"Holy shit!" I mumble grabbing my chest. "You scared me!" I laugh, and she joins me. We talk about how the past coupe days have been going and all the school work I'll be getting when I go to school. Garret calls everybody in for supper and Flora and head in. The only seats left are next to Sebastien and Dr. Drake. Flora swoops in taking the seat next Sebastien, leaving me next to the good old sexy docter.  Heart flying faster and faster the closer I get, I'm partly sure everyone can see it jumping in and out of my chest! Taking my seat, I take a little bit of everythng and put it on my plate. I'm to nervous to eat.  There is multiple conversations going on and I'm not involved in one of them. Aint feeling very social at the moment. Taking to bites of the  marvelous food on my plate I finish, and listen to people conversations. Glancing at Sebastien who also looks a little non social today. Flora tries to drag him into conversations but he purposefully doesn't say anything. I wonder if he is still that mad at me? I feel something tap, my food, and I glance down under the table. You have got to be kidding me! I kick him in the ribs, and he disapears.

 

"Excuse me a moment." I say, getting up from the table. I walk slowly out of the room once I'm the stairs I run. That fucker better have a good reason for almost getting me killed. "You better have a good reason for pulling me from that me- Tatum!" I say. Well, this is just great. I lock the door behind me, and scratch the back of my neck. "What?" I ask, semi apoligetically.  He holds out the towel I was wearing that night, I take it from him with out a thanks.  " I can't be to long." I say, and he nods.

 

"I wanted to see you, it's been a couple days." he says reaching for me, I back up. No way. "I thought we were getting past all this." He sighs.

 

"I have my family and friends downstairs. Tatum,  I could get like beheaded for talking to you!" I  say and he scoffs.

 

"They wont be head you. They would kick you out, but then you could join me." He smiles. I frown.

 

"Are you trying to sabotage me!? Make me lose my parents again?" I ask pissed off. He face drops.

 

"No." He sighs, I shoo him away he waves then disapears. I glance at my reflection, doesn't look to frantic. I head back downstairs, and bump into Sebastien. 

 

"Oh I'm sorry!" I say, without looking at him. He hmm's and I sigh, well he obviously is still mad at me. I don't judge him either, he probably realized thats what I was just doing.  Walking past him I head into the kitchen where I catch Dr. Drake, and the queen in a heated conversation.  "Ah... something wrong?" I ask, and they both look at me. The queens face is blank. the doctor smiles at the sight of me, and then rubs his eyes, and his face is blank to. My hear is just racing from the stupid but sexy smile!

 

"I'll let you two alone." The queen says quietly. I watch as she leaves what does that mean? I give him a questioning look.  He rubs his eyes again also watching her leave, he knows what she meant.

 

"Is there something you have to tell me?" I ask, and m thoughts head straight to the word love for some odd reason. I mentally slap myself and tell myself to get a grip.  I see a smile play on his lips again, what is so funny! "Nothing? Okay." I say piviting on my heels, I can't stand being alone with him it makes me jumpy and I really for reason want to reach out and touch him.  A hand grabs my shoulder, and it's freeing then it burns with a dark flame.  He is touching me again!  "Yeah?" I ask turning to face him. I wonder if he feels that to?!

 

"Lyra, if i told you something could you promise to hear me out?" he asks, I nod. Where is he going with this? Then I hear Molly yelling for me in the other room, he drops his hand from my shoulder and tells me I should go see what she wants. I do, and he doesn't follow me. He stays in the room alone, I sigh he is confusing. Once in the living room, I get pulled into a game of Monopoly with Molly, Chaston, Flora,  and Chase. I notice before we start actually playing that Dr. Drake enters the room.

 

"Play with us?" I ask him, grabbing his elbow as he walks by. Even when I touch him, his arm is freezing then heat the feel of fire. I don't let go, I want him to stay. I want to know what he was going to tell me. I also just want him near.

 

"Why not?" He smiles, a big smile, bigger then what I've seen. My heart races again, it soars like an eagle flying at high speeds! He pulls a chair over and sit right next to me, and the game begins. I'm now social, unsure why I wasn't before, but now I'm talkative . . . espicicially with Dr. Drake. Just random questions. Like favorite book and movie and color.  As the game progresses, I notice our chairs get closer and closer. I shiver, and scooch closer to him. I look up and faces of the people playing no one notices a thing. Why does it matter? Once the game is finished, everyone help put the game away, and then the king says it's time for the adults to talk. So I offer for everyone to come up stairs with me. Flooding into my room, everyone even Sebastien come in. We'll chit and chat and talk, mostly about school and then Chaston brings up the topic of boys.

 

"Lyra, I can't wait to see Jordans face when you come to school. Have the people there still don't believe you're back." She says. I laugh slightly, and look around the room, using my eyes to plead with someone to change the subject. No one takes the bait.

 

"Jordan..." I sigh, I don't know who that is.

 

"Oh right.. god I'm sorry!"  Chaston says, covering her mouth. She remembers that I have no clue who that is. The subject chages right after that, but ofcourse it changes to Dr. Drake, and about him maybe helping me get my memories back.  "I forgot how good looking he was too." Chaston giggles, and Flora nods in agreement. I look over at Chase and Sebastien at the other end oe my room, they're talking about something.

 

"Lyra what do you think of Elijah? He came all this way just to see you?" Flora asks, making it sound like he came to confess his love to me. I wouldn't mind that though. Elijah? That's his name? I like it. I love it.

 

"He is definately not what I was expecting." I sigh, yawning. I'm tired already? I bet I've had plenty happen today. Just in time my door opens and Molly walks in saying that it's time for everyone to go. Flora, Chaston, and Chase say goodbye to me, and Sebastien just walks out. I throw a small fit on my bed screamming into my pillow. I need to just cornner him myself to explain. I wont do that though, hopefully he will talk to me when he is ready.

 

I shower, and head straight to bed. I'll sleep good tonight.

Chapter 10- Deadly Attraction (Lyra's POV)

"Lyra! Come on now, it's time to get up. We're all going to go to the palace." Molly yells on the otherside of the door, for the fifth time in ten minutes. I throw a pillow at the door, and she giggles on the other side. I get up, time to start another day. Another day of by chance seeing Sebastien, another day of seeing Dr. Drake, another day of being stalked by Tatum's vampire friend body guard guy. Slipping out of bed and into my bathroom, I do my hair and brush my teeth. I can never function correctly early in the morning, so I shower at night and then just worry about my hair and a couple other hygenics. Picking out a pair of black leggings and a navy blue sweater, to wear for the day I begin with the make-up. Just a little eye liner, mascara, and a glossy lip gloss that I lick right off my lips. . .  I love the taste of it so much.  I'm ready as I'll ever be for the day, passing by my body length mirror I stop hating my hair. Gripping my hairbrush again, I comb through my hair again then grab  a ponytail off my dresser. Braiding it I shove it over my shoulder, glancing in the mirror again I smile. Perfect, I look like Elsa from the disney movie. . . just not as dressed up. 

 

When I get downstairs, I'm shoved out the door and pushed into the wagon. Apparently we're running late, or is it I'm running late making them run late? Once we get there they both scurry off, I'm on my own right away! I pull out the jar of holy water out of my bag I have with me. I grabbed it last minute, it has a book for me to read, food for me to eat, and music for me to listen to.  Shoving in my ear phones, I make my way to one of the many studies. A couch and blanket are calling my name! Opening random doors everywhere I get discouraged, I thought I was beggining to know my place around here! Walking down a dead end hallway, I stop looking out a window. There is a door behind me, do I see if I found one? Pushing open the door, I peek inside.

 

"Oh! Shit! Sorry! Sorry! I'm so lost!" I apoligize slamming the door shut. Shit, oh well good hot damn! Sebastien in a towel only! Nice abdominal muscles he had on him to. I speed walk down the hall, how could I not realize that I am in the bedroom area of the castle? God, his stomach and his chest and his shoulders and HIM! I smack myself on the forehead, and I feel the sting as I'm still trying to get out of the hall.  I take a sharp right turn, and keep walking. Then I open doors as I pass them trying to find a closet to hide in. No way am I staying out here where I might run into him! Finally finding a study I slip in closing the door quietly behind me. I catch up on my breath slowly walking towards a fluffy black leather couch. Grabbing a blanket from the rack which happened to be by a roasting fire, I snuggle comfortably onto the couch. It's so warm! I smile I'll sleep nice! I think abut getting up and locking
