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

nod. She’ll have to receive one to make sure I’m really getting married.  I leave after that, walking to the West’s house instead. Hopefully one of them is still awake, I mean it’s only 8:40 something.  I knock, and his dad opens the door gladly inviting me inside.

 

“Is something wrong dear?” he asks, leading me the kitchen. He said he will make me hot chocolate. God they are so nice!

 

“No, actually I wanted to talk to you about leaving with you. To go back to your kingdom, I would really love that.” I say, and he smiles. “I don’t remember when you said you were leaving though.” I say embarrassed.

 

“Ah, we didn’t really say a certain time. It’s up to you and Thayer of course.” he says, sliding me a mug. I smiles, it smells delicious!  “I must say, I’m confused. You don’t want to stay here with your friends and family?” He says.

 

“Well, I figured that I would have to go back with you sometime, why not now. I actually really do want to go.” I assure him, I do want to go. I want to leave before I have to see Elijah again, or anyone for that matter.

 

“Anytime dearie.” He replies.

 

“So tomorrow afternoon?” I ask.“Could be tomorrow morning if you really want.” He says taking a sip from his cup. I smile, “Tomorrow morning it is.”  He laughs. “Good thing we never unpacked our suitcases or anything yet.” He leaves the kitchen grabbing his family. I smile to myself. I’m sure I’ll have fun.  When they all come back, his mother hugs me, and he does too. Then I have Thayer come with me to help me pack my things. Good thing the mover's through all our boxes into the one closet we have.  My parents are here now, and I tell them whats going on. They smile, happily glad that I actually seem to be into him. Which like I said before I’m sure after a while I might grow to like him. I tell them I don’t want them to help me pack, because I want the time alone with Thayer. I also don’t want them in there because I might cry, because in the morning I have to say goodbye. They can’t come with me. I didn’t tell them I was leaving in the morning either, I said sometime tomorrow.

 

Once I’m on my room, I tell Thayer he doesn’t really have to help I just wanted someone to talk to. He helps me anyways, going through all my movies and books.  Like I said huge movie buff!  After about an hour, we have everything packed up already, other then an outfit for tomorrow and some hygienic stuff. We are sitting together on my unmade bed now, talking about the pair of underwear I flung at him earlier. He talks about he it sexy that I even wear underwear unlike most girls and I can’t help but laugh. I’m glad that me wearing underwear is a turn on.

 

 “Ugh, I wont be able to sleep here with all the boxes, it will distract me.” I sigh, changing topic from my undies.

 

“I’m sure my parents wouldn’t mind if you stayed at our place. We have a guest room.” He says. I laugh, their guest house, even has a guest bedroom.  There isn’t a guest  room in my house, those luckies! Would my parents let me go over there? The two of us head out, and I tell Molly and Garret I’m going to go over to Thayer’s, they smiles practically pushing me out the door! Thayer explains to his parents, and they say that I can just sleep on to the couch and Thayer can to. It’s one of the couches that is like  a mile long.

 

“Oh no. Thayer can stay in his bed. He should get good rested that way in the morning he isn’t a grump.” I say, remembering that he said he is often times a grump in the mornings. He blushes, scratching the back of his neck.

 

“Well, what ever you two work out. We’re going to go to bed, so just try and keep it down.” hi father says pointing at the two of us, then we all hug and say goodnight.

 

“What movie do you wanna watch?” Thayer asks, plopping onto the couch, turning on the TV. I sit next to him, and we pick out a movie.

I wake up, to the smell of bacon and eggs. I lift my head up from Thayer’s shoulder, and walk into the kitchen. His parents are making breakfast sandwiches.

 

“Smells good.” I say, letting them know I’m there.

 

“Good morning. I hope you slept well, here we made you some as well. All of our stuff is packed up already and so is yours.” his mother smiles, I take the sandwich from her and going back to the living room, waking up Thayer.

 

“I’m going to go shower.” I say handing him the plate, and he points towards his room that had it’s own bathroom as well. I take a quick shower, then change and I’m ready. I walk out and they are ready to go as well. I head over to my house, and wake up my parents. “Hey, I say, and they are confused what I’m doing up so early, It’s only 7:40. “We’re leaving. Since it’s two days and all.” I say, and they sit up hugging me. “I’ll be sure to sure to write, and send pictures!” I say almost crying. Once they let go of me, I leave, and I pass by Rashell who is talking with one of the maids. Oh great.

 

“Oh, leaving so soon?” She says, shooing the maid.

 

“Yeah.” I speak first. “I figured that it would be better if we were in Caswan. That way I know the land and people.” I say, hugging her and saying goodbye.

 

“What about your friends?” she asks. I see what she is really asking.

 

“Well, I didn’t want to wake anyone up.” I whisper, and she nods.  “I told my parent’s I would write them. So maybe I can write Chaston and the other elementals to.” I say, she nods. Then I grab Thayer’s hand, and we head  walk away from the queen. As we walk away, I think to myself…

 

Lyra, you should be proud. You’re stopping a war, meaning you’re practically saving a whole kingdom. Also in a way, I’m doing the right thing for Sebastien I’m getting married that should get it through his head we can’t be together … that will make Rashell happy. The only person I’m hurtig for sure is Elijah. Now he will be stuck there, with her. A cold front take over my body, and hold back tears. I’m doing the right thing.

 

We load up into their car, yes they have a car! Then I watch out the back window as the castle gets smaller and smaller. I turn away,  gripping Thayer’s hand.

 

“Are you tired?” He asks, and I nod. “Here.” He hands me the blanket next to him, and covers me up. I lay my head on his shoulder, closing my eyes. Repeating over and over, I am doing the right thing… I am doing the right thing… I am doing the right thing…

 

 

The End For Now….

 

Keep an eye out for the sequel:
