Whoops, now I have to write 8 chapters in 4 days. Sorry, stuff's been happening and I'm so stressed, but look! New chapter! There'll be 30+ chapters in total, one for each day in the deal Sophie made with Keefe. If you would like to suggest something for one of the chapter, that would be great!
It was a stupid idea. She never should've made that deal with Keefe. She wasn't even sure why she made it in the first place. It wasn't like he'd actually win her over or anything, so why did she feel so nervous?
Keefe had popped into her house to take her somewhere, and she really wanted to sleep in even further than usual now that it was break.
"Where are we going?"
The blond in front of her beamed, "You'll see when we get there."
*time skippity skip*
"Ugh-I hate getting to Atlantis this way." She stared down at the water that shunned and foamed below her, it made her queasy by just looking at it.
"That's 'cause you went with Wonderboy. Now it's with the Keefster, " He winked at her teasingly—before unceremoniously shoving her into the whirlpool.
He was so lucky that there was a giant squishy sponge or else she might've considered murdering him. Keefe dropped onto the sponge beside her, giving a sheepish grin.
"Sorry? It was fun though."
"For you!"
He even had the nerve to laugh, "That's okay, you'll forgive me. You always do."
There was moment of silence before Keefe cleared his threat and asked, "So where do you want to go?"
She thought for a while before she answered, "I think I'd like to get a new charm for my bracelet."
"Cool," he held his arms open, "drag me wherever you want."
It had been a while since she'd been to Atlantic- apparently it wasn't safe enough- but she still remembered the way.
The bell opened with a little tinkle. Sophie looked over the little charms that were encased by the glass.
"Which one are you getting?" Keefe asked.
"Not sure yet." She twisted the the bracelet a couple times before letting go.
"Don't you want to get another necklace?" He joked.
She rolled her eyes, "Pretty sure I have enough." Her hand went to her neck smoothing over the cords that held her elixirs and the necklace Keefe had given her.
Her hand dropped when she found a little charm. It was intricately made, with tiny petals of ice blue that twinkled under the fluorescent lights of the shop.
She took it to the shopkeeper who nodded and put it in a bag. Sophie took out her birth fund before Keefe stopped her.
"No it's fine, I'll pay."
"I mean that's a sweet gesture but money is practically infinite."
He sighed, "Too bad. I'm doing it anyway."
They left the shop and Keefe gingerly took the bag, "I'll help you put it on."
She held her hand out so he could clasp the rose charm onto her bracelet.
He raised his eyebrows, "I love the color choice, matches my eyes."
Her face heated and she swatted at him, "I-ugh-th-that's not why I got it."
"Okay then. Where do you want to go next."
She looked around before she realized that she'd hadn't had lunch yet.
"Somewhere to eat?"
He gave her a smile, "Lead the way, Foster."
*skip skip skip*
They went to a multitude of different places before Keefe deemed that the day was over. If that was how the next 28 days would be like, she wouldn't mind.
"See, you had a lot fun today didn't you?" She did, a lot actually. But she wasn't going to keep encouraging him.
Instead she shrugged, "Mm, I guess so." But even then she could tell he knew she had enjoyed it. Freaking Empaths.
He smiled, "So... I'll pick you up tomorrow at eight," he held his leaping crystal up to the light and before he glittered away, he shouted, "It's a date, Foster!"
But of course, by the time she tried to shout back a reply, he'd already disappeared.
