The Elementals #2, Kiki XoXo [best e book reader .TXT] 📗

room where everything is being held I show him to the study, where I was almost killed the first time. I explain that day to him, telling him everything even Tatum. Wasting away a little more time before I see any one. He doesn't mind though, and he doesn't say anything. 

 

"You're going to see her today." I hear Rashell's voice, and I look to the door. It's wide open! How could I have left it opened!? 

 

"Yes, I know Rashell." I hear his voice, and my breath is taken away. I wonder if he senses me in anyway. I sure as hell hope not. If he see's me I don't know what I'd do or say at the moment. Including he is with her. "Remember though, you are to cause no harm to her or her Fiancé."

 

"Only if you stay away from the girl, Elijah." Rashell replies, sounding aggrivated. Good the bitch, I hope Elijah has been pushing her buttons like this. Although, I know something they have been doing... even though they shouldn't have been. My head gets dizzy thinking about it!

 

"Lyra is engaged, Rashell with your orders. She probably wont even let me near her." He says. My heart pulses with energy at the sound of him saying my name. I can't keep my eyes off the open door!

 

"If I see you even talking to her Elijah, you know what will happen." Rashell warns. Their voices getting closer and closer. "Lyra will die, and I'll make you watch." I take a deep breath breath, and I can feel Thayer's eye burning a whole into my head from looking at me. I should say something but what? Including if I talk they might here me, and that probably isn't the best thing to happen at the moment.

 

"I wont let that happen." he says just as they become visible though the door. Thayer is gripping my hand, now obviously listening. I never told him about Elijah, I don't know how much of this is making since to him. "I love her." he says. My heart rate speeds and I know he will sense me here.

 

"I don't care!" Rashell pushes him against the wall. "You are not aloud to even look at her! Got it?" She hisses. If Thayer hadn't been in the room I would've stormed out and strangled the bitch! Without hesitation too. I don't care that she is Sebastien and Chaston's mother, she is a crazy old bat lady! 

 

"Yes, my queen." He replies still calm and collected.

 

"Good, now lets go say goodbye to my husband." she smiles. Then they disappear down the hall. Thank god they didn't see us! Maybe he sense me, he should've been able to read my mind. I don't know, At least nothing happened!

 

"Care to explain." Thayer asks, and I gulp. God, my life is on the line here! I squeeze Thayer, wishing Chase wouldn't have found me, I never would've caused any problems. But then again I never would've meet any one.  "Lyra... what was that?" He asks again. 

 

"That was the queen being herself." I try to sum everything up with out going into detail. He doesn't go for it and he lets go of my hand, he is upset.  "Thayer wait... Please. It's a long story, and I don't know how to tell it." I try to reason with him. 

 

"Lyra we've told each other everything... or at least I thought we did. No secrets remember, that was your idea." He  says staying calm, I've never seen him really mad, or really upset. But I get the feeling one of them is coming. I need to tell him now. There is no way I can't. He heard to much, and being here will show obvious signs.  "Now what was that?' he asks a third time, ad I take a deep breath. 

 

"Elijah and I are partners, Thayer." I whisper, and he understands automatically. I sit down on the couch, and dip into a bit of what has all happened between us. Meaning the appointments for my memories, and the whole we never told any one because we didn't knw what they would think. I leave out our little scenes from his bedroom. I finish on the whole I found out Rashell was practically forcing him to have sex with her, and then she brought Thayer into the picture.  "You aren't to mad are you?" I ask, I running a hand through my hair. It feels nice to know he knows now but what will he think. 

 

"You're partners." He whispers, and I let out a breath. "You love him. He loves you."  He is really mad. 

 

"Thayer, please don't do this." I whisper. My head is buzzing and my hest aches. I can't lose Thayer, he is my best friend! He is part of me and my life now! 

 

"Lyra, you've been staying with my family trying to fall in love with me when it's impossible." He stands up, but isn't yelling. "Why didn't you tell me this? No one else knows?" 

 

"I know!" Tatum raises his hand showing up. I breath out a bunch of swear words.  Of course he shows up now. "She didn't tell me, I just spied on her and figured it out on my own though." He adds. Seeing as to he isn't helping.  

 

"Thayer, I told you in the beginning it would be a long process." I whisper. Ignoring Tatum, hopefully he'll get the hint and leave. 

 

"It's an impossible process!" He replies, getting snippy. 

 

"No it's not!" I stand up getting lourder. "Because I do love you!" I shut my mouth a second. As I realize I just said that to him. I never have before, and they way I said that didn't sound like a brotherly I love you. I sit back down on the couch. Holy shit. Do I love Thayer? We've only known each other a little over a month, but like he said before we had no secrets... well I did... but we're best friends. Aren't you supposed to be best friends with the person you love? Elijah and I always had secrets, and never really found anything out about each other there was always drama. So perhaps it's just the partner thing that makes me love him. His looks as well too. No. I love Elijah for who he is as well. How he is secretly funny and not always serious. How he is smart yet not. 

 

"Okay.. I'm gonna go.. we'll talk later." Tatum breaks the long silence. Then I feel the couch sink in a little more as Thayer sits next to me. Gosh, I wish he would just say something already. Even if he says I hate you or that he doesn't want to marry me anymore. Just something. I've always hated silence, but I seem to very good at creating it. My life is one huge ass ball of drama! Twirling the tips of my hair around my index finger, I worry. I should say something but what? I don't know what he is thinking, and I obviously don't know how he is feeling. 

 

"Lyra, what you just said...." He speaks, and my gut clenches. What's he trying to say? Does he even know? Gosh I just told him that I love him! Which I didn't even know! Is it possible to love two people at once? I mean I love my family and friends. But in a relationship lke way can you love two people?

 

"I've known I love you Thayer." I say, thinking of a way to expain it better, "I just thought it was brotherly... I don't think it is though anymore." 

 

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't be so mad about this. I do understand why you didn't tell me." He sighs. " I guess I just thought you trusted me with everything." He sighs. 

 

"I do Thayer. No one else knows about the partner thing. Not my parents even. Well I guess Rashell does... but I just didn't know what to say either." I look up at him, and is looking down at me. 

 

"He is the doctor who came to look at your head... he gave birth to you... that's weird.  He is like a hundred something, and your sixteen." He looks ahead. I nod agreeing it is weird, I've always thought that. "Hmmm.... we should talk about this later." He sighs. 

 

"We probably need to get to the ceremonies." I sigh. He stands offering his hand, taking it we head out together I lead the way to the throne room, not as worried now for some reason to see everyone again. I guess talking about it helped. Although I don't know how it helped. Oh well something happened that made me not so nervous. Maybe it is that Thayer knows now, and I am not keeping anything from him now. It makes sense. Beofre I was worried he would notice me looking at Elijah, or him looking at me. But now knowing that he knows, he might undertand why I'm looking. Also knowing that if Elijah does look at me, I could die. I have the knowledge of knowing he wouldn't risk my life so he wont look at me.  "That's the door there."  I say as we stop a couple feet away. I smooth down my black dress, and run my fingers through my hair. Black dress and white hair... classic.

 

"Lyra, wait." he whispers grabbing my hand that was reaching for the door. He walks towards me, cupping my face in his hands. I know what comes next. With out hesitation he ducks his head, and our lips meet. He steps forwards as I step back, until my back is to the wall. It's a nice passionate kiss. Third kiss we've ever had. First real kiss I would have to say though. He steps away, and I can tell my checks are a little pink. I want to reach up and touch my lips, I feel like a little girl who just just had her first kiss ever.  "Sorry... I just.. I wanted to do that. Before things started getting even more complcated." He says, embarassed as he scratches the back of his neck.

 

"It's okay Thayer. We're engaged, it's normal." I say. Then I think about it. We haven't really ever kissed before though. For us it's not normal. We're more of friends then we are lovers. Even though I did just admit to him that I love him, he never even said it back! Although I can't be mad at him for not. Now my head is everywhere! "Thayer.. I don't know what I'm talking about.. I'm confused... and .. and .." I don't know what to say!

 

"Let's unconfuse you." he whispers, and I look at him as he takes his steps back to me. I back up, unsure by exactly what he means. Obviously kiss, but how far? How long? Why do I think about this kind of stuff? He lips are on mine, forecully. It's weird knowing Thayer is capable of this mysterious and bad guy  look. He plays it good. I like this side of him. He seems dangerous, and unexpecting. He runs his tongue over my lips, and I don't argue with him. This is what we're supposed to be doing. whether now is the right time or not is the thing. Now that I think about it there is a body just on the other side of this walls. I forget that details after a second, as his hand on the back of my neck massaages under my jaw, and his other hand on my hip slips upward. Golden eyes flash through my eyes, that are closed. A gasp moan thing escapes me, and then he moves away just like that. Then grabs my hand, and drags me into the throne room. My breath hitched, and hair slightly messed. My face is red definately, and I try smooth down my hair.

 

HOLY SHIT! That was some kiss. He has skills. He's had practice. That girl friend of his he told me about... I'll
