Chapter 11: Time for lunch (1,078 Words)
Ian picked me up as I jumped up into his arms. As he held me up with my back against the wall, he gently and urgently kissed from my lips, down my neck to my collar bone. Carefully, he lightly bit the skin under his lips, making me moan.
"Ian," I moan, unable to control my hormones.
He didn't answer with words. Carrying me over to the bed, he put me down and slid my white lingerie cover-up off. I put my hands on his bare chest and slid them down to his pants. Fumbling with the button momentarily, I finally undid them. As he took them off, I marveled at how muscular his body really was.
"Wanda," Ian said gently waking me. "It's time for lunch."
"Ian," I moaned. "I was dreaming of last night."
"I'm sorry," he said kissing me. "Your stomach was growling and I wanted to make sure you got something in it because we didn't eat breakfast."
"Thanks," I smiled.
Ian was watching out for me, even when I was sleeping in his arms. He always looked out for me and hated when I was anything except happy.
I got out of bed, stretched my muscles, and picked up my clothes. My sundress was a little wrinkled, but I threw it on anyway since I no one would say anything. My No Pain was still working, but I could tell it would wear off soon.
"Do you know what's for lunch," I asked, hoping Ian would know.
"I'm not sure," he said putting his arms around my waist. "But I hope it's chicken or turkey soup."
I giggled and turned around in Ian's arms. He didn't have his shirt on yet and wished he didn't have to put one on. The smile on his face made my heart melt. Last was good, but hurt, while a little while ago was perfect.
"Wanda," I heard Emma ask from outside the door. "Are you coming to lunch?"
About a month ago, I finally realized why Emma was so important to me and while she was so calm with me even after knowing I was a soul. This body, whose name really was Wanda, was Emma's older sister. I tucked her in every night, except last night when Mel did.
"I'll be right out Em," I called to her.
"Go," Ian said kissing me. "I'll put a shirt on and meet you in there."
"Fine," I said kissing him and walking to the door.
"Wanda," Emma said hugging me. "I missed you last night! It was weird being tucked in by Melanie, though she was really nice! Did you have fun on your date last night?"
"I'm sorry and I did," I said smiling at her. "Ian took my outside the cave and we had some dinner, ate cake, and looked up at the stars."
"That's so sweet," She squealed. "You two are so cute together!"
"Thank you," I blushed. "I really love him."
"I haven't asked because I'm been scared, but how old did you tell everyone you were," She asked quietly. "I mean I know Wanda's body is almost eighteen, but I just wanted to know."
"I told everyone I was seventeen turning eighteen a week before her birthday," I sighed. "It's only a year different and I really didn't want Ian pushing me away for being to young when I'm really thousands of years old in a much younger body."
"I understand," She smiled before hugging me. "I'm just glad I finally remembered you and that you have the same name as her because it makes it so much easier for me."
At that moment, we walked into the dinning hall. Everyone stopped talking and looked at me. I tried to ignore it as I walked by the rows of tables to get lunch, but it was almost impossible.
"Wanda," Kyle said standing up and stopping me. "I'm glad my brother found you, not just because your new body, but because you've changed him for the better. I know Jeb gave you two the day off because of the rumors going around, but I don't believe them. After lunch, I want to go talk to you two and clear things up because I've gotten five different stories. I know I haven't been the nicest to you, but I'm sorry about what's happening."
"Thanks," I said hugging him. "Since you've come back with Sunny, you've been a lot nicer to souls and I appreciate it."
"Anytime," He smiled.
I smiled back and followed Emma to get lunch because I was starving. Emma didn't get much since she don't really eat too much, but I got portions big enough for Ian. The food, turkey soup, a dinner roll, and cheesy pasta, looked amazing. Along with food, Emma and I both got a bottle of fruit punch juice.
"Hey Wanda! Hey Em," Jamie smiled when we got to the table he was at. "Lunch is really good today!"
I smiled as Emma and Jamie talked. I know they were young, but I had a feeling they liked each other and were to afraid to say something. I stopped paying attention when Ian walked in.
"Ian, over here," Jamie called over.
He smiled and started walking our way, but I could tell something was on his mind. I tried to not worry about it because he would tell me if something was wrong.
As he walked over, Emma started talking to Jamie about the details of our date, though she didn't actually know very much. The two of them were so easy to entertain, all they needed was their imagination and a small sliver of the truth. The only difference between them and adults were they knew not to share details of their stories to anyone unless they were sure they were true.
"Hey," Ian said kissing my cheek. "Melanie came in our room crying as I was leaving. She said she needs to talk to you, that it's important and it can't wait."
"What could she... JARED," I yelled, running out as fast as my legs would take me.
I tried to stay calm, but I was scared. Jared had a temper when he wanted to, but he wouldn't hurt Mel. Would he?
"What's wrong," I said as I shoved the door to the side.
"I went to Doc a few minutes ago," Mel sobbed. "Wanda, I'm pregnant."
A/N: I know it's a lot to ask, but I want ten (10) reviews for chapter 12. It would make me very happy!
