Why Am I Here Again?
Ok guys, thanks no characters will be killed off, because I got 5 reviews last chapter. Anyway, here is chapter 10!
We walk into the old fashioned black and white diner, with the vinyl red booths, and classic black and white tile floors.
"Can I help you?" a spunky blond asks.
"Um yeah, table for two." Iggy says, staring right into my eyes, I giggle a little and the hostess smiles politely, then leading us to our table. We sit in one of the cute little booths by the window and the hostess tells us that our waiter will be right with us.
"So, girls were staring at me back there?" Iggy asks with a smirk.
"Don't flatter yourself." I joke.
"Oh, I'm not." He says seriously, but I can see the laughter in his eyes.
"You know before you came-"
"Was kidnapped." I cut in, he smirks, but goes on, "I used to have to eat with Gazzy."
"What's so bad about that?" I ask, frowning slightly.
"He didn't tell me about all the girls who check me out." He laughs.
"Ugh, forget that I even told you!" I say putting my head in my hands.
"Hi, I'm Kristen, I'll be your waitress today." A perky voice says suddenly. I sit up and Iggy smirks, I then proceed to give him a 'Wipe that look off your face' glare, but he ignores it.
"So, what can I get you? Really, anything." She says looking directly at Iggy, I glare at her, but she's too busy staring at Iggy to notice.
"Um, I'll just have water." He says, holding back a laugh.
"Okaaaay, and what will your sister have?" she asks in that now annoying voice.
"Um, I'm right here." I say, putting up my arm a little.
"Oh I'm sorry, you're brothers having water, does that mean you want water too? Or how about some lemonade, that's always a hit with the kids." She says. I feel my jaw drop a little; I actually have no idea what to say, but Iggy steps in,
"Chrissy was it? Never mind I don't really care, she's my fiancée. So shut up." I feel my jaw drop ever more, but I close it and just nod.
"What?" she screeches a little.
"Yup." I say, moving to the other side of the booth and sitting next to Iggy, but he has other plans; he pulls me into his lap and wraps his arms around me.
"Fine." She snaps, "What do you want?"
"Another waitress." Iggy states.
9:00 pm
Iggy and I are snuggled up on the couch watching some horror movie of Gazzy's, our feet are intertwined underneath a blanket, the rest of the Flock either on the love seat (Max and Fang) in a chair (Angel) or just on the carpet (Ella, Nudge and Gazzy) I start to watch the movie but soon distracted by Iggy, I'm aware of his arm around me, of our feet knotted together, and his soft breathing.
"So where did fiancée come from?" I whisper to Iggy.
"I don't know it sounded more official." He chuckles.
"So what's this movie about?" I ask.
"Blowing things up, people dying, pretty much what would happen if Itex took over the world." He chuckles. I try and focus on the movie but I flinch when something else explodes.
"Are you scared?" Iggy asks, only half teasing.
"No" I reply, but then give myself away but accidently looking away when a sky scraper full of people explodes.
"I think you are." He teases pulling me closer.
"Okay, fine, I'm afraid alright?" I confess, hiding in Iggy's chest, finally being able to just not look, the fire I'm okay with, but it's all the deaths that I can't watch.
"We can go into another room if you want." He murmurs into my hair, stroking my back.
"No, that's ok." I say into his shoulder, my voice muffled.
"Really I've seen this movie a million times." He persists.
"No, this seems like your type of movie." I tell him, still hidden safely in his shoulder.
"My thing?" he asks, whisper laughing.
"Yeah." I look up at him, smiling a little.
"What?" I ask, giggling a little when he just stares at me. And before I know it he's scooped me up and is carrying me to my bedroom."
"Ahh…sh**." Iggy exclaims, stumbling over something in the dark.
"Shhhh!" Gazzy yells furiously, Max and Fang break away from their game of tonsil hockey for a second to laugh at Iggy.
"Where were you going?" Fang asks suspiciously looking at Iggy.
"Nowhere." Ig replies a little guiltily.
"Where were you going Ig?" Max cuts in.
"Nowhere, Kellie just didn't like the movie."
"Oh, really?" Fang says sarcastically.
"Yeah these may be your home movies, but it's pretty scary to those of us who aren't supposed to save the world." I tell them. And for the first time I see Fang smile, like a real smile. The whole Flock just stares at me…until they burst out laughing. I would walk away but I'm stuck in Iggy's arms. The only one not laughing is Ella.
"Hey, the first time I saw this movie I had nightmares for weeks. She's right; this is, like, a horror movie."
"Thank you Ella." I huff crossing my arms.
"Come on." Iggy drawls, putting me down and taking my hand. He leads me out the back door and into the lush green garden. For a house that small I did not expect this.
The back door leads right onto a 10 by 10 platform that is covered by a wooden awning with twinkling lights wrapped around it, leading from this is a 5 feet wide pond, surrounding the deck, but there is a small bridge. We walk over the bridge and see a small stone path surounded by lush green trees, blooming bushes with red purple white pink blue and yellow flowers, and the thickest, greenest grass I have ever seen. We walk down the path for about 15 feet. And then the stone path we were following splits into 3. I turn to my right and see that it leads to a beautiful sparkling blue pool with tile matching the path surrounding it, with a water fall going into the pool and a bar with 3 stools around it, there are also chaise lounges with matching umbrellas, and it all matches the color of the stone path.
To my left I can see a large stone fountain, emptying into a small pond where I can just make out 2 orange and black fish, swimming around each other. And finally straight ahead of us is the most massive tree I have ever seen, not only is it gigantic but it is also incredibly wide. On the branches are electric lanterns that are softly glowing. But surrounding this huge tree is a light wooden platform about 3 feet off the ground with a large black leather bench going around the perimeter of the platform. Big flower pots full of blooming flowers are behind the benches, but right in the middle, surrounding the tree trunk is a large circular glass table with black armless leather chairs going around it, waiting for a beautiful feast to begin. About 8 feet away from the table are two high tables about 4-5 feet apart with 2 barstools each. All in all it is gorgeous.
"Which way do you want to go?" Iggy murmurs into my ear, pulling me against him.
"I don't know." I breathe.
"Did you see the fourth path?" he asks.
"What I ask confused, but then I look down and see there is a fourth path, it's just hidden. But Iggy pushes back the leaves covering it and I step into the most magnificent meadow I have ever seen…
Well I hope you guys liked it!
