Chapter 9: Friends with Unknown Enemy
Lafayette POV
Last night, I have a strange dream about Angelica kissing me in my sleep. Which was weird since I never have any sort of feelings for her before. Not trying to be offensive here but Peggy is the one that captures my eyes. I mean Angelica is a sweet loving girl but she isn't my type. I can only see Angelica as a close friend and also as a sister. I mean I never have a sister before so having Angelica being part of my family is something special to me. I'm not sure why I have a dream of Angelica kissing me last night, but anyway dismissing the topic.
Jean and Adrienne woke me and the others very early in the morning since the journey from Paris to Chavaniac Lafayette would be about five hours. During breakfast, Angelica and I met each other eyes fa or moment before turning away all the hell is wrong with me? I just only looked Angelica in the eyes and directly my heart began skipping a beat or two. My face was heating up but I intended to ignore it and also the smirk on Alexander's face. Mon Dieu, please don't let Alexander get the wrong idea. Luckily, no one else has caught on the awkwardness between Angelica and me which was strange since we never been in this situation before. This is all just a phase and the both of us can move on.
As if were easier said than done, Angelica and I were sitting way at the back of the van that Uncle Jean owned. Everyone around us was having a pleasant conversation while Angie and I are sitting together in an awkward silence. I started to notice about Angelica bits by bits...how radiant her eyes glistening by the morning sunlight and how her skin glow with...Oooh for Pete sake Lafayette! While scolding myself for thinking Angelica in a such a way I didn't notice her calling my name.
"Lafayette...you ok?" Angelica asks with concern
"Oui, I'm fine mon ami. Just feeling restless with...everything" I replied
"I see...if you do find your biological family here in Paris...what will you do then?"
Huh, I never really give it much thought about of what I would do if I ever saw my biological ever again. I mean seeing my birth parents once again would be a dream come true. Though what then? What would I actually do once I reunite with my biological family once again? I mean I do want to finish my studies in America but..what comes next? Do I return back to France and stay with my birth family forever or stay in America with all my friends and family? I wasn't what to do since I never really thought of it before until now. Damn it. Why does life have to be so difficult? Angelica soon gently held my hand with her own while giving me a soft smile on her face.
"It's going to be alright, I promise" Angelica comforted
"Thank you, Angelica. I knew you would understand. I always been thinking and dreaming of my birth family again. It would mean the whole world to me" I replied
"I see...well can you promise me one thing...that's all I ask for"
"Take care of Peggy with everything you have. Even if it might cost your life"
"I promise Angelica, for you know that I love Peggy with all my heart and soul"
Angelica gently squeezes my hand with hers before placing a light kiss on my cheek. I didn't think much of it but as a friendly gesture. Also a blessing from Angelica into for letting me be with Peggy for the rest of my life. I just hope that Peggy loves me dearly just as much I love her. I would do anything to protect her even if it meant death itself. Smiling happily at Angelica before noticing we have finally arrived at our destination the royal palace in which is known as the Chateau de Chavaniac. The place where I can find more clues of my birth family. I'm willing to risk everything I've to find the truth of my past even if I perish then I perish.
I'm back and sorry for a sucky chapter hope I can do better
