The tension in the room was so thick that a knife could slice through it, as everyone was left to his or her thoughts. By the side of the room, was Melvina; and she felt a little bad that she had to lie to her mate, but then finally concluded that it was necessary; that it was better this way, knowing that she would still tell him of everything later.
On another side was Derek. And as he laid a strong stare on his cousin, he wondered why she would forge that kind of lie.
'Was there no other lie, other than a one that would bring enemity between her and his father?' He thought. Although he was happy that at least his father's attention had been diverted from the truth, he was still a little bit sad of the bad relationship that will ensue between his father and his cousin. He didn't like that part at all, and he didn't know why.
Melvina sighed tiredly as she closed the door to the Pack's conference room. She looked ahead to see her son and Maya standing by the wall. She knew they were waiting for her. So she increased her pace, as she walked up to them."Let's talk in the kitchen." She said, when she got to them."We can talk, as I prepare dinner. It's already late." She added, as she walked ahead of them, towards the direction of the kitchen, not waiting for their reply or opinion. As she neared the kitchen, she hoped that her little daughter, Eva, would be intelligent enough to locate the pastries she had kept for her in the bowl close to the sink, to eat if she got hungry.When she got to the kitchen, she smiled as she noticed that that the bowl was absent. Her daughter was one of a kind. She may or may
Eva was extremely happy when she heard her cousin's declaration. She was also happy that she had a big sister to play with and talk things over with.Her mother was sometimes, busy with helping her father with pack duties. And Derek was also busy with his friends. It was worse now that he started college. She only saw him in the evenings, and she wasn't ssatisfied with that.She wondered how long her cousin would be staying; she hoped it was for a very long time."How long are you staying?" She queried her beautiful cousin who still held her hand tightly, which she liked."I don't know yet. But I'm not leaving anytime soon." Maya replied, smiling down at her baby cousin. She thought the girl was more beautiful than her big brother.
Emma was applying cucumber juice on her face and neck when her phone beeped to alert her that a message had just popped in.Keeping the lotion by the bedstand, she picked up her phone, wondering on who could be texting her by 9 in the night.Her mind settled for a second on her sister, Amelia; perhaps a text to ask her how she was coping at the other side of the world.Then it shifted to Clem, the guy who she thought was already hooked up on her, then to Derek. Out of the three, her heart yearned for a text from a Derek, although her head-sense thought otherwise. Her head wished the text to be from her sister, they so had a lot to talk about; from her meeting with a governess to her snagging a new boyfriend.
Derek smiled widely as he heard the sweet but tiny voice of his little witch. He thought she must have been suprised, and a little bit flustered to have seen his call. Well, he hadn't been planning to call either; it had just happened.Holding the phone in place on his ear with his left hand, he gurbled up the remnant of the spaghetti on the ceramic plate before him on the counter, before dropping the plate into the sink."Hello.." He answered, taking a seat on the stool nearest to the cupboard, by the western wing of the kitchen."How are you doing baby?" He asked, thinking of other sweet names to call his mate. She was a human, and so he had to court her the human way for now, till when the time of unveiling comes. He still dreaded that day, as he knew it must surely come. T
A call woke Emma up.She soughed, as she stretched herself lazily on the cozy queen sized bed, wondering on who could be calling her already this early morning.Blinking her eyes rapidly as she laid on her bed, her thoughts going tro and fro, she stretched her right hand towards the cupboard nearest to her bed in a bid to get her alarm clock. She didn't think the time had passed 6:30am, the time to which the alarm clock had been set to, since forever; everywhere was still eerily silent, and her closest neighbor, whose name she didn't know yet, hasn't started chopping woods. He was usually up before her 6:30am waking up time. She had seen him only once, on Tuesday, while she had been waiting for Derek to pick her up for school. That was how she had known that the chopper of woods was a huge man who didn't reply greetings. She knew because she
Emma noticed that Amelia dyed her hair edges pink, and Amelia noticed that Emma's red hair had gotten redder, more fuller and longer. She whistled as she noticed that her kid sister was looking better, more beautiful."What!" Emma asked, laughing, as she heard Amelia whistle."Nothing." Amelia replied. "Your hair looks fuller. Would you trim it?" She ask, admiring the hair. She had always loved the reddish colour, but sometimes had wondered where her sister had gotten it. Their parents were both blonds, and none of their relatives had that color of hair, including their grandparents."I don't know." Emma replied, suprised at her sister's statement. She hadn't noticed her hair's growth. She decided to check it out later. About the trimmings, she didn't know. She didn't
June?June, her closest friend with shaggy brown hair.June, the shy girl who wore glasses.June,with the nerdy look.June, that dresses in clothes that resembled a mechanic's overall, even though sometimes she had tried to stop it, but to no avail.June, who had advised to keep her virginity for her husband.June, who had said that she didn't like boys; wouldn't date till she was 18, next year.June, who ate Amelia's cupcakes and pies most.That June?? Emma thought, as a numb feeling overwhelmed her. No, perhaps it was some other June, not hers; not her closest friend. She wo
Amelia snapped up her head from her bent posture as she heard what Emma said. Although she would love it more than anything if her sister came back, she didn't consider it wise. She actually thought it selfish of her, to let Emma leave her studies and come down to Florida, just for her sake. They weren't in highschool no longer, and she can fight her own battles herself now. Besides, she know she would move on. There were still many years up ahead for that."Emma, you are not coming back now. You're going stay there and finish your semester." She finally said with a tone of finality too."Says who? I can cook up a story for Dad, if that's what you're worried about." Emma said, already calculating how much would be required for her expenses. She mused as she remembered that she didn't have her credit card with her. Well she can ask De
