Chapter 1
The rays of the morning sun filtered in through the paper thin curtains of my room, warming my skin a little. I sighed and stretched, only to have Dana grumble as I did. I smiled and kissed the top of her head tenderly, breathing in her scent. She smelled of rain soaked cherry blossoms. Her eyes slowly opened, and I felt my heart beat faster.
Dana had the most beautiful eyes I had ever seen on one of the Emeralds. They were the same green color, but hers shone brighter than any gem could ever hope to. Tiny gold flecks were melted into the beautiful spheres.
She looked up at me, blinking away the sleep from her eyes. She smiled as she snuggled closer to me, seeking warmth.
"Morning love," she purred nuzzling my neck.
"Morning my jewel," I replied wrapping my arm tighter around her waist.
Dana giggled as she buried her face in my chest. I heard her sigh deeply as she fell back asleep. That was her only drawback: she fell asleep very easily. I sighed as well, carefully slipping out of bed. I stole one more glimpse of my fiancée before walking out of our room.
Chris looked at me as I stepped out. Dana had insisted that if she was to marry me, then her family had to move in with us. I had no objections, wanting nothing more than to make her happy. Raven put up a fight, but was silenced by the fiery red-head herself.
I chuckled as I reflected on the memory. Chris cocked his head to the side in confusion. I just shook my head and walked past him. I was stopped by his hand coming down onto my shoulder gently.
"We need to have a talk," he said softly leading me into the library.
"Yes?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
Chris walked over to a chair, gesturing for me to sit in the one across from him. I walked over and sat down cautiously. Dana had warned me not to be alone with Chris in the same room. I didn't ask why, only nodded. Chris looked at me smiling.
"I consider Dana like my own flesh and blood," he began. "And I remember how much pain you put her through just because she couldn't return your feelings right away."
I nodded, the guilt building up inside of me as I recalled what I had done to her many months ago. She said she had forgiven me that day in the garden but I still felt horrible for the event.
"I just want to make sure you won't do the same thing again," he told me.
"Why would I do that now?" I asked standing. "I've been waiting centuries for a girl like Dana to come along. I thought I lost her once, and I won't lose her again."
Chris nodded up at me, his eyes filling with doubt. I knew his intentions were good, but he needed to butt out!! I opened my mouth to say something but was cut off by Dana's voice.
"Ah shit!!!!" we heard her yell. Dana came stumbling into the library, pulling on her shoes and jacket as she did. "I'm gonna be late for work!!" she whined as she jumped up to kiss my cheek. "Don't forget to pick me up at 11, 'k baby??"
I nodded, pulling her into a quick hug before she ran out in her pixie-like way. I smiled as I watched her leave. She was so cute when she was stressing. I looked back at Chris.
"I promise to take good care of her," I vowed.
"I'll hold you to that," he chuckled as he produced a book and began to read.
I walked out and back into mine and Dana's room, slumping onto the bed. I closed my eyes and fell back onto the pillows. I had never felt happier in my entire life. Still…I couldn't help but feel something bad was coming up on the horizon.
A/N: That's the first chapter!!! Hoped you enjoyed it!!! And if you have any good suggestions on what you'd like to see happen in this story, just tell me and I'll see what I can do!!!!
