"Where is everybody?" i asked once again. I gave an exasperated sigh as i stared across the large room.
"Nobody is here." i snarled at Lissa, who sat calmly in the table waiting for the Christmas Gathering to start.
"Stop it Rose." she said soothingly. "They will be here in no time." she said as she stared at the clock once again.
"Im hungry and Im bored, have i to say more?" i asked, pouting. Lissa smiled and rolled her eyes at me as she stood up from the table. I could here the soft steps she took as she glanced around the room, which she had taken so much time to prepare and perfect.
"Do you think the Candy canes are too much?" she asked, picking one in her hands as she handed one over to me. I took it gratefully, as i tore up the bag. I shrugged as i put the candy cane in my mouth.
"I like it." i said sincerely, Lissa sighed and sat back down in the chair, looking at the empty table, i could sense the mix emotions flutter through out her, nervousness, excitement, curiousness and like me hunger. I smiled as i sat there near her sucking on my candy cane. Minutes passed before we heard the first knock on the door. Lissa stood up excitedly as she made her way hurriedly to the door. With a happy yell she threw herself into the arms of Christian, the snarky blue eyed excuse for a boyfriend. I gawked at Christian, surprised he had decided to wear something formal to the gathering. He was dressed with a black suit, his hair slightly messy and perfume filled the room.
"Look who decided to come." i said standing up to great Christian. He smirked as he hugged me and moved away from the door as another person entered the room. My smile grew wider as i stared at Mason, my best friend from long ago. Mason and i, had a beautiful relationship, we both shared the same humor and we both enjoyed each other competitiveness. Mason had always had a crush on me since the day we meet, something i wasn't sure i could give back to him, one because my heart belonged to a badass Russian whom i would never be able to be with because he is my mentor and because in the future we both must protect Lissa. Mason was also a good friend and i wasnt sure if i was willing to risk our friendship. Mason entered the room as i hugged him tightly.
"You took long enough." i snarled at him teasingly. He laughed amused.
"I have to look my best infront of such beautiful ladies dont i?" he said amused taking a seat in the wide table. I rolled my eyes as i followed him to the chairs.
