Helanie:
"I cannot believe you were going through so much, and I was giving you more stress. I was such a bad friend." Lucy had been crying ever since I woke up and ca to et . She told she had heard about everything I had been through. Honestly, I didn’t even bla her. It wasn’t her fault, she had her own struggles.
"Lucy, don’t say that. It makes feel even worse." I swallowed my tear.
She raised her head and frowned. "Why would you feel bad? You did nothing wrong."
"That’s because you’re too nice to let know that I’m a terrible friend," I mumbled, and she shook her head.
"No Helanie, you had your own baggage. I used to be so jealous of you, thinking you were getting all the attention while I was miserable. It makes feel like I was so full of myself. I needed a fall to wake up." The way she said it in her cute little tone reminded of the Lucy I had t in the beginning, and I suddenly started crying while smiling.
"Okay, Helanie, you look very creepy like that," she said, and I laughed even louder. She quickly hugged , and I hugged her back. It felt so good.
"Now that you’re back, I can have so many conversations with you. We will talk about everything," I said excitedly, holding her hands.
"Yeah, I want to talk about everything with you too. I an, you’re an alpha queen. You can hook up with soone cute, right?" She tried to show her dimples and made believe she really wanted to move on, but I knew it was still too soon for her.
When Gavin and she had shared a look earlier when they entered the room, I already knew things were tense between them.
"Sure," I said, half-excitedly. I wasn’t going to ship them back together, I wouldn’t be that cruel. He had really hurt her, and I didn’t want Lucy to rush into another relationship and make soone else suffer. But I didn’t say that to her, she had just woken up. She had every right to have a few little flings, as long as she didn’t give anyone too much hope.
"Where is everybody else?" I asked, looking around.
She smiled cheekily. "I heard Professor Norman is planning sothing for you, but please don’t tell him." Being Lucy, she spilled the beans and then covered her mouth. "Don’t tell anyone I told you," she mumbled, giving a cute dimpled smile.
"Okay, I won’t tell anyone. But where are the others?" I asked, noticing even Gavin had left after she arrived.
"They’re all helping him out. I was asked to join them too. Can I please go? I really want to be involved in activities like that. I want to use my arms and my legs," she requested, looking so cute.
"Okay, you can go," I said, not knowing exactly what Norman was planning. I guessed he was trying to win back. Not that he needed to, he hadn’t lost , but I was happy he was putting in so effort.
"Okay, and you need to rest. Lie down and only get up when we co to collect you, okay?" She said as she stood, and I noticed her movents were a little stiff, which was completely understandable. She hadn’t been in her body for long.
She helped lie down, pulled the blanket over , and rushed out, waving goodbye for now.
I laughed as she left and I lay there, hugging my blanket happily. We had finally found our friend. I just wanted to fix everything, all the issues, without any loss.
I had only closed my eyes briefly, thinking that by the ti they finished preparing whatever present they were planning for , I could grab a quick nap, when I heard soone enter the room. I opened my eyes and calmly sat up, assuming it was either one of them or Norman coming to collect .
However, I was surprised to see soone else entirely.
"Kaye, what are you doing here?" I asked, smiling widely.
He looked like he had been driving for a while, no flight, nothing, and he seed restless. Yet wearing a black leather jacket, he looked incredibly handso.
"I’ve been missing you," he said, making smile as he held a rose in his hand.
"Oh, thank you," I replied with a smile, accepting it as he sat down with .
"You know, the mission was a success," I instantly started speaking, and he looked genuinely happy for , all smiles.
"And then Norman is preparing sothing for ," I added without a break.
As soon as I said that, he laughed. "I know. But who told you?" he asked, hands on his waist.
"Oh, please don’t tell anyone. Lucy accidentally spilled the beans." I instantly realized I shouldn’t have put Lucy on the spot. Still, it was fine. We were planning a beautiful surprise party for her as well, so it was all okay.
"I won’t tell anyone. But now you have to co out, because they’re waiting for you," he said, standing and holding out his hand.
"They seriously sent you to collect ?" I asked in disbelief. He just arrived and they put him to work.
"You know, brother doesn’t like lazy people, so he was like, ’Go collect her,’" he said, grunting as he mimicked Norman.
I took his hand and got out of bed. "Can you give a little hint about what they’ve planned? I’m kind of curious," I asked, slipping into my shoes and walking with him. He didn’t let go of my hand.
"It’s a little farther from the mansion, but it’s sothing very romantic, that’s all I can say. Are you expecting to be Lucy and spill more to you? Do you want to ruin the entire surprise?" he complained playfully.
"No," I replied instantly, walking with him. I was still drowsy, though, and I guess he noticed, because he suddenly turned around and carried in his arms. I shyly looked at his chest.
"You know, when you blush, you make my heart skip a beat," he comnted, making bite the bottom of my lip shyly.
