Chapter Two
"So, how's Paris lil sis?" Delilah's face filled her phone screen, her eyes filled with excitement. "Any hot boys?! Paris is the city of love you know!" she waggled her eye brows and gave a wink with her dark blue eyes.
Ashleigh rolled her eyes at her older sister. "I haven't even been here for a day you know? I haven't left the house yet, where would I be meeting boys?"
"Don't lie to us!" She heard Dimitri scream before his face replaced his twins on screen. "I see the sky behind you, you're clearly outside right now!"
"Oh please!" She laughed at her brothers antics. "I couldn't sleep despite the long flight, so I decided to scale the house and watch the sun rise, that's all. Calm down Demi, it's too early in the morning for this shit."
Demi rolled his eyes. "Uh huh, and by my calculations and the sunlight, it's clearly past sun rise now."
"So?" Ashleigh shrugged. "I just haven't decided to come down yet. It's a nice view up here after all."
She heard her sister giggling in the background before she grabbed the phone from her brother. "And? You going to be skipping out on your first day at a new school then?" She raised one eyebrow, shooting a knowing look at her little sister.
Ashleigh shrugged. "So? School's just a formality for me, you know that. There's no real requirement for me."
"Yeah yeah," Demi mumbled, coming onto the screen with his twin. "Miss I Know Everything and Thus Have Degrees in Everything doesn't technically have to go to class because she cheated in life."
"Excuse me?" Ashleigh gasped, pretending to be offended. "It's not cheating to have lived multiple lives and thus have memories of such."
"Oh it so is!" Delilah chimed in. "You aren't suppose to get those memories until you come of age you know, thus you're a cheater!"
"Lilah! I thought you were on my side!" She laughed. "Besides, it's not my fault I have some of those memories. The "coming of age" thing isn't 100% accurate you know."
"Yeah yeah, whatever!" Demi waved his hand, brushing of her comment.
Ashleigh sighed, looking up from her phone to her surrounding, smiling as she admired the beautiful new sites of this small part of Paris.
The twins chatted on in the background, not really noticing their sisters lack of interest. Ashleigh closed her eyes and leaned her head back, sighing at the pleasant morning breeze from her new rooftop, feeling like she was at home with the familiar background noise.
The sound of an approaching car soon drew her attention though as she looked down to the street. She raised her eyebrow as the sleek car parked in front of her new home, continuing to watch curiously as one of the doors opened.
Her eyes narrowed then widened in shock as she watched a young blonde boy step out of the vehicle. Breath caught in her throat, she watched as he checked some papers in front of him, oblivious to the fact that he was being watch.
"Oh my god..." she whispered. His golden hair shone in the morning sun, his beautiful green eyes filled with curiosity as he slowly made his way up the walkway to her house. Her eyes slowly made their way down his body, taking in his slightly broad shoulders and narrow hips. She sucked in a breath, clearly enjoying the view.
"Whoa wait a minute!" Demi screeched, drawing her attention. "Hottie alert!! Hottie alert!! Lilah this is not a drill!!! Ash totally just spotted a complete hottie!!!"
"What?! Where?!" Lilah grabbed the phone from him, filling the screen. "Show him!!! Show him now!!!"
Rolling her eyes, Ashleigh flipped her phone around, displaying the golden angel to the now hysterical twins.
"Holy shit!" They both gasped. "Lilah! Wrap me up and ship me to Paris! Pronto woman, pronto!!"
Ashleigh and her sister burst into fits of laughter as she flipped her phone back to face her. "Down Demi! One, pretty sure he's my age, so too young for you bro," Lilah's laughter continued, " and two, he probably doesn't swing your way."
"Oh phooey," Demi pouted.
Ashleigh returned her attention to the boy, just before he ducked into the entrance to her front door. But that was all the time she needed to see.
She sighed, frowning. "Sorry folks, pretty boys heart is already taken." The brief glow she spotted with her sixth sense was unmistakable.
"Awe really? Sorry Ash, he could have been a great catch," Delilah sighed. "Figures, the cute ones are always taken."
"Doesn't mean you can't have some fun anyways," Demi chimed in, waggling his eyebrows.
"Alright you horn dog!" Lilah pushed him out of the frame. "Go have a cold shower! We don't want your sexual tendencies to rub off on our sweet little sister." She rolled her eyes. "Ignore him, he's just trying to live vicariously through you. Pretty sure he's been striking out lately."
She laughed. "Why am I not surprised? He was way too excited when I told him I was going to be living in Paris for the next few years."
"You're telling me," Lilah chuckled. "Well? Are you going to keep the poor boy waiting? Go answer your door woman!"
"Yeah okay, I'm going." She shook her head, smiling. "Love you sis!"
"Love you too sweetie!"
Hanging up, she glanced downwards again, then lifted her face to the sky. "Maybe I'll skip school for the day."
