My heart was pounding I couldn't believe that he was my number one.
" Looks like someone is happy with their list" I looked up to see Keefe smirking at me.then I shifted my eyes to where Fitz was and I saw that he too had a smile on his face.
So..who is your number one? I jumped slightly when I heard his voice in my head. Even though he does this all the time I always get startled
Umm... You I replied in a soft tone. What about you?
I also got you too. He replied and it took me a moment to process all this. I couldn't believe we got each other as our number ones.
" Aww... Come on. I know you two are dating and all but we want to know what you are talking about too." Whined Keefe bringing me back to reality.
" Oh, sorry we were just talking about who our number ones are" I said telling everyone.
" Go on then. Tell us who you got," Biana pressed.
" Fitz and I got each other. What about you guys?" I asked genuinely curious.
" Oh, Keefe and I got each other, Dex and and Linh got each other and Tam got Adrana. But we don't know who she got yet" she replied. Adrana couldn't come because she was feeling sick so she asked us to pick it up for her. We are going to go to her house next to help her feel better and to give her some company .
" Alright, come on we can discuss all this later, let's go to Adrana's house now." Tam ushered us towards the leapmasters. I didn't have to be an empath to know he was excited to see Adrana again. I really am happy for him, he used to be so gloomy before but now everything has changed
We continue our discussion as Tam quickly went to grab her scroll.
~~Time skip to Rubygarden~~
Tam's POV
I still can't get over the beauty of Rubygarden. It's breathtakingly beautiful. In in front of the house is a garden where the gnomes are harvesting some fruits and there are neat rows of moonshines outlining the whole garden. I breath in the sweet scent of the moonshines that reminds me of Adrana.
The rest of the gang start walking towards the door and I follow start to follow them, only one thought swirling in my head. What if I am not on her list? What will I do? I was so deep in thought , I didn't even notice when Mrs Helick ( Adrana's mom) answered the door.
" Oh hello, come on in and you can head off to Adrana's room while I bring some mallow" She said smiling her big warm smile.
We mumbled a thank you as we headed upstairs to Adrana's room. I knocked on her door and stepped in when I heard a soft voice say come in.
Adrana! How are you we hope you get better." Said Biana walking to her side.
" Oh hi guys thanks for coming it was getting really boring by myself. And I'm getting better thanks." She replied her eyes shifting from me to the scroll in my hands. I walked over to her side and sat down on the chair next to her bed.
" Hi, are you feeling" I asked her quietly so that only she can here me.
" A lot better be that you are here," She said didn't her deep ocean blue eyes never leave mine. I give her the scroll in my hand
" Is this...?" I simply nod my head and her eyes widen and I can see the excitement dancing over her gentle features. Everyone has noticed what is going on and crowned around her bed waiting in anticipation for her results.
She rips open the seal her eyes skimming through the list. A huge grin spreads across her face as she reaches the top.
" Well I'm guessing you got who you want, judging by that smile," Says Sophie breaking the silence. she nodded her head. She quickly makes eye contact with Me telling me to shadow whisper to her. I spread my shadow towards her
Who was your number one ? I asked her .
It was you! Who did you get? She asked the excitement evident in her voice. Relief spreads through me and I can feel my face breaking into a smile, something I don't do very often.
I got You too I replied
" Ahhh Bangs Boy smiled, the world is going to end!!! " exclaimed Keefe running around the room screaming. I rolled my eyes at him when he said 'Bangs Boy'.
" Oh Keefe be quite," said Biana scolding her boyfriend before turning her attention to us " So are you going to tell us or not?" She pressed.
" Oh um we got each other" She replied, "
" Eeek I knew it !" Biana squealed in excitement.
" Adrana! That's wonderful. And if my brother ever hurry you in any way , just tell me and I'll deal with him. " said Linh. I gulped knowing she wasn't joking and in all honesty I was a little nervous. She may look all sweet and innocent on the outside but she can be really scary when she wants to. But I'm not that nervous because I know that if I ever hurt Adrana intentionally I will never be able to live with myself.
" Thanks Linh , but I don't think you will have to do that . I know Tam will never do anything to me." Said Adrana smiling at me and lookup into my eyes. And I smiled back in return as a way of reassuring her.
"Awww, look at you guys, you are so cute!" Exclaimed Sophie bringing me out of my thoughts.
I looked back at her a light blush creeping up my cheek, something elese I rarely ever do.
When Keefe sees me blushing he starts running around the room again screaming: " Ahhhh! He blushed! He acr blushed. Take cover everyone the world is going to blow up!" I saw the girls roll their eyes at him while the boys snickered in the background. I glared at them and they immediately stopped.
" Oh for the love of God just shut up already and leave the poor boy alone. He's an elf too you know." Groaned Biana.
" I know but he never ever blushes. This must go down in Elvin history." Says Keefe pumping his fist in the air.
I rolled my eyes at him while Biana groaned again giving up. At that moment Mrs Helik came into the room with a plate of mallowmelt in her hands. As soon as everything got a whiff of the sweet scent they rushed to the door grabbing a piece each. I walked over and took two plates and carried one Adrana since she couldn't get out of bed. " Thank you Mrs Helik, this tastes wonderful." I said looking up at her.
" Thank you Tam you are too kind. And don't be so formal, call me Rosalie" she replied.
" Alright, thanks you Rosalie." I replied and she smiled and everyone else chorused back a thank you as she left the room.
Once I finite my mallowmelt I looked over at the girls to see them having their own conversation. Not wanting to disturb them I walked over to the boys .
" Hey Tam, so we were thinking of taking our girlfriends out on a quadruple date to the new restaurant in Atlantis. So what do you say are you in." I think about it for a second and nod my head in approval and we work out all the details until everthing is finalized.
" Guys we're getting bored let's do something." Says Keefe. Everyone else's nods their head in agreement." So Foster you got any human games for us?" Asks Keefe.
All eyes are on Sophie now as she thinks about it. " Oh I know! We can play would you rather. You have to tell someone two things to choose from and you have to say which you would rather do or choose." Everyone seems to like this idea so we end up playing would you rather.
Sophie starts to give us an idea of how to play." Tam! Would you rather... Smell Iggy's breath all day or Silveny's."
" Hmm..." I think about it donated coming to a decision." Silveny. That way I can finally get close to her without her getting scared."
" Huh fair enough," Sophie replied shrugging. And so the night went on with Keefe's silly questions, Biana's romantic ones and Dex's gadget ones. Once it gets dark outside we decided it was getting later and that we should probably start heading home. We bid our goodbyes and I walked over to Adrana giving her a light peck on the forehead and leap away to Havenfield along with Sophie and Linh.
That night I fell asleep to one thought in my head. I am Adrana's number one.
