So long time so see huh *hides behind wall*. Anyway Prestidigitation over on the Westerfourms got me to write something new. Also be on the lookout for another story in this universe that involves Lilit and Newkirk.
In this Alek and Deryn are friends who are verging on relationship town. Thought it is good since they started out hating each other.
Deryn and I sat in the coffee house. I am really confused as to why Deryn had dragged him here this morning. A waiter came over to the booth where Deryn had made us sit.
"Der, is that you?" The guy said. That made me remember that she had also forced me into a disguise. That hat and fake glasses made me feel ridicules. She was also wearing a purple hat and black and yellow checkered glasses.
"Shhhh Marty. We are here on a secret mission. Do not give us away," She warned him. The guy didn't even act like this was out of the norm for her.
"What will you be having today?" Marty asked.
"Alek do you want coffee?" Deryn asked. I shook my head no.
"Well then I want my usual coffee and 6 chocolate chip biscotti's," She ordered, Marty made a note on his notepad and headed back to the bar like area.
"Why are we here?" I asked Deryn again. She hadn't answered the question last time I asked it and it doesn't seem like she is going to this time either.
"Come sit on this side with me," She commanded. I gave her a confused look but realized that if I was going to make her happy I was going to have to do it. I slid out of the booth and joined her on the other side. She checked the time on her phone and I looked up to see Marty coming back towered our booth.
"Here you go," He put the Biscotti's down and sat Deryn's coffee in front of her.
"Get Marty," She told him when he had lingered at our booth. She made shooing motions with her hands and he slinked back to the counter like a wounded animal.
"Watch the door," She said handing me a biscotti. She dipped hers in her coffee. I nibbled on the end of mine.
Several minutes went by before the door opened. Deryn squeezed my hand under the table.
"This is it," She murmured and took a drag off her coffee.
Walking into the coffee shop was a women who I realized was one of Deryn's professors. She was a Dr. of some sort. The person who came in afterward was the person who shocked me the most.
It was Volger, my guardian and fencing instructor.
"You know when you told me you knew everything about him. Well he's having an affair with my married Biology professor," Deryn said very calm and matter-of-factly. I felt like the world was falling apart.
