Liam and Seth did exactly as Liam said they would. They picked up Faith and drove them to a nearby restaurant.
"So, lets order and then we can talk about what is going on with you", Seth said.
Faith nodded. They ordered and Faith couldn't meet their eyes. Her hands were shaking so she kept them in her lap.
"You can tell us anything babe, promise. It stays between us till you say its okay to tell your parents.", Liam said.
Her eyes welled up with tears.
"Hey, its okay", Seth said, reaching over to comfort Faith.
"When mom found out about you both, did she, hate you?", she asked.
Seth and Liam froze. Now they knew what this was about. Seth stood and went to sit beside her.
"Mom and dad have been talking about introducing us to some gentlemen, but…", she stopped.
"You like women, don't you", Liam said.
Faith cried and nodded. Seth held her to him.
"Hey, I want you to look at me, Faith", Liam said.
Faith did just that. Seth wiped her tears.
"Your mom will love you no matter what. She did me. Hell, I didn't even get to tell her, she already knew, just not with who", Liam smiled.
"But I'm her daughter", Faith said.
"Trust me Faith, she will love you till her last breath. As for your dad, he will too. He always supported me and Liam. All they want for you is to be happy", Seth said.
"And if being with a woman makes you happy, they will have your back", Liam said.
"Was it hard for you to come out?", Faith asked.
Seth chuckled and Liam rolled his eyes at him.
"Yes, because it was different for me. I didn't have supportive parents. You do", Liam said.
"As for me, I always knew. When my dad found out, he kicked me out of the house. My mother disowned me, but I had some great friends who had my back. They became the family I needed and accepted me for me.", Seth said.
"Who?", she asked.
"The Reigns family. Dean.", Seth said.
She smiled.
"If and when you're ready to tell your parents. Your uncle and I will be there for you, holding your hand.", Seth added.
She nodded.
"I bet it feels good to get it off your chest", Liam said with a smile.
"It does", she replied.
"I wish I was as brave as you at your age.", Liam said.
A few days later, Rao sat across from Dean, nervous as can be.
"I'm sorry that I didn't do this right the first time. I was just afraid you would say no because I'm going to be King. You went through this with my dad and you saw the ups and downs.", Rao said.
Dean nodded.
"I would like a second chance at this. So, Mr. Ambrose, I would like your permission to court Paisley", Rao said.
Dean stayed silent for a minute.
"You're right about one thing. I was there for your mom and dad's ups and downs. Especially the downs, but I trusted that they would find their way back to one another, and I was right.", Dean said.
Rao nodded.
"As much as I want to keep my daughter from that same pain, its inevitable. She loves you and I know you feel the same.", Dean added.
Rao smiled.
"So, yes, Rao, you can court Paisley", Dean nodded.
"Thank you, sir. I promise, all I want is to make Paisley happy", Rao said.
Anthony and Serenity were practicing take downs. The gym area was empty, which they loved. She pinned him again.
"Its like you aren't even trying Anthony", she panted.
He smiled.
"Because I'm not. I like when you're on top of me", he replied.
She smirked and rolled her eyes before getting off him. His arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her closer to him.
Kissing her neck.
"Anthony, stop. What if someone sees?", she said, before standing and looking around.
"So what? I don't care if they do. I love you and I don't care who knows it", Anthony replied.
He stood and tried to pull her in. Before he could say anything, his mom walked in.
"How's training going?", Trish asked.
"Great, I pinned him about four times", Serenity replied.
"Good girl, and here we thought we trained Anthony well", Trish chuckled.
Serenity smiled.
"Anyway, Anthony, I came to let you know that you will be meeting future Queens tonight. So Serenity, tonight is your official guard duty.", Trish said.
Serenity nodded.
"Women are going to throw themselves at your feet", Trish said proudly.
Anthony smiled. Trish left and he quickly turned to look at Serenity.
"Be with me. Let me tell them that I love you. Let me give it all up.", he said, cupping her face in his hands.
She pulled away from him.
"Stop. Its time to go get ready", she said, walking past him.
"I thought you loved me", she heard him say.
Her heart broke at the sound of his voice.
"I do, but it just wasn't meant to be for us. You will make a wonderful husband to someone who deserves you", she said.
He was going to say something, but she stopped him.
"End of discussion", she said, walking out.
Breanne and Sabrina were making themselves comfortable in their new house. Two bedroom, which they both had their own bathroom. A big living room and kitchen, just enough room for them.
"So worth it", Sabrina said, falling back on the brand new couch.
Breanne never liked this idea, it always made her stomach sick.
"So, what do you want to do on our official first night here?", Sabrina asked.
Breanne shrugged.
"Movie night?", she suggested.
Sabrina nodded. There was a knock at the door, Breanne answered it. Rao stood there and smiled.
"How are you settling in?", he asked.
"Fine. We didn't have much so, it was an easy move. Now we are just trying to figure out what to do tonight", Breanne said.
Rao nodded.
"Well, the Queens from Opal are having a party. My parents asked me to ask you if you two would like to come", Rao said.
"Really? Like with princes and stuff?", Sabrina asked.
Rao nodded.
"We are in", Sabrina said, jumping up and running to her room.
Rao laughed.
"We leave in a few hours.", he said, before leaving.
Breanne sighed.
Anthony fixed his tie and then his hair. Someone knocked at his door.
"Come in", he called.
It opened and Serenity stepped in. It felt like the wind had been knocked out of him. She smiled when she saw him.
"Wow, you look so handsome. Your mom was right, women are going to fall at your feet", she said.
"There is only one woman I want falling at my feet. One who I love.", he said.
"Anthony", she sighed.
"Lets get this over with", he mumbled, before walking past her.
She wanted to act like he meant nothing to her. He could do the same. He flirted, he touched a hand or two. Caressed a few cheeks and made those women blush.
He could see Serenity getting jealous. Whether it was a roll of the eyes or a huff when one of the women giggled at his joke. She was jealous.
Dean had let Rao bring Paisley to the party. Making his intentions known, that he had already picked a Queen.
Sabrina looked around and picked at the food. Breanne had seen Faith make her way upstairs and away from the party.
She followed.
Faith was sitting by herself in the library. Breanne walked over and smiled.
She was beautiful.
"Not the party type?", Breanne asked, making Faith jump.
"You could say that", Faith replied, closing the book as Breanne sat beside her.
There was something there. They both felt it, but what.
Hazel didn't know what she was suppose to look for. What kind of man would not only help her run her region, but make a good husband. Like her dad was to her mom.
Guys her age bowed and smiled at her. None of them catching her eyes. Her dad came up beside her.
"You know, you could always do what I did", he said.
"Which was?", she asked, taking his arm as they walked.
"A seer. He predicted the woman of my dreams. It might have taken me longer than I liked, but I found her. Happiness is all we want for you", AJ said.
"Really?", Hazel asked.
"Of course I am, and that's all we want for you and your siblings", he said.
