Hi! I'm sooooo sorry I haven't updated until now, but I've had the worst sickness ever, WHRITER'S BLOCK! Ah, it's been killing me! But I think this chapter turned out okay, even if it's not my best work. Hope you'll like this chapter! Disclaimer: I don't own any characters or the name Titanic, but I think you already know that. Now, on with the story!
Sophie POV
"Do you have the recipe for mallowmelt here somewhere mom?" I was standing in the kitchen, looking around to find the big blue book filled with Edaline's best recipes. A moment later the book appeared in my hands, Edaline had teleported it to me.
"Thanks!"
"No problem, dear. Why are you going to bake mallowmelt?"
"Biana wanted me to make some for our movie night."
"Ah, better make a lot then."
"I know, Keefe will be there, so if I don't double the recipe the rest of us won't get anything." I laughed a little. Keefe would definitely eat as much as he possibly could. Mallowmelt was his absolute favorite. And it was my favorite too... We shared the same favorite food... But of course I already knew that, everyone loves mallowmelt. So why was my heart fluttering? I shook my head and opened the book. I started putting all the ingredients in a bowl and stirred. I laughed a little to myself as I remembered how unused I was to all these ingredients only a couple of years ago. And back then I didn't even know what mallowmelt was! It seems like it was only yesterday Fitz found me in that museum in the forbidden cities. And know I was a part of this world, and had found new really great friends. Like Keefe... and Biana, Fitz and Dex of course! Those are my real friends, Keefe and I only know each other because of the duet we will be performing, and his super annoying. Lucky me that the summer dance is over soon, so that we can go back to our own lives. I could never stand being around him all the time! But still, the way he looked in those bathing shorts on the beach... And just the thought of how soft his hair must be... Right, the baking! Get yourself together Sophie!
Keefe POV
"Movie night!" I branched through the doors of Evergleen. Fitz was sitting in the sofa standing in front of the fireplace, but other than him the room was empty of people.
"Did you bring custardbursts as I told you to?"
"Yes. I was a good boy for once and did as you told me." I smirked towards Fitz who looked up.
"Really? Me and Biana baked a whole plate extra, since neither of us thought you would bring any." He said with a smirk.
"Well I'm not complaining! So now to the big question: do we have mallowmelt somewhere or what?" I started looking around the room to find the plate. Maybe I could snatch some before the other ones came...
"Sophie's baking. She told Biana that Edaline had some secret recipe. And I've heard she's pretty good at baking..." Sophie, huh? Is there anything she can't do? She reads minds, inflicts, teleports, uses weird languages, almost starts war, memories every star in the galaxy, sings, looks totally hot in a bikini... What? it's a fact! And now she's baking? She is just full of surprises that girl. Mysterious Miss F...
"Keefe!" Fitz was waving his hand in front of my face. "What are you doing?" I pulled on a smirk.
"Just thinking about something..." I winked to let him now I wouldn't tell him what.
"It's Sophie right? You're thinking about her?" Fitz almost looked sad.
"No! Why would I think about her?" Okay, that was a little bit untrue... But really I was just thinking about different talents and abilities! It's not my fault that Foster is an expert at everything! Yeah, that's a good explanation.
"Maybe cause you like her?" Fitz looked at me with curious, but still sad eyes.
"What! No! I don't like her!" But I felt my cheeks heat up. "She's just annoying, and weird... And I mean we're only friends because we're forced to sing together!" I still hadn't told him, or anyone else, that I had required for Foster to sing with me, if I was to perform on the summer dance. I mean why would I tell anyone? "And even if I liked her, she doesn't like me. So I'll take someone else!" I smirked, but could feel my cheeks burning still.
"I wouldn't be so sure if I was you." I playfully slapped his head. I was used to the flood of emotions that followed, but one of the feelings really surprised me. One big part of the wave was filled with jealousy. Jealousy? Since when could Fitz get jealous? I looked at Fitz in confusion, but he just smiled sadly and looked away. Now this was weird...
Sophie POV
"Evergleen!" The light dragged me away to Evergleen and I glittered in place on the soft, green grass outside the gates. Soon after, Biana came and let me in. When we got in to the house Keefe and Fitz were already there, talking about something, but they quieted down when they saw us. Or more specifically, me. Both their were set on me, before they both looked away. Keefe was the one who broke the long silence that followed.
"Where's the mallowmet, Foster? I've heard you made me some." He smirked and walked up to me, looking down at me the plate in my hands.
"They're for all of us Keefe..." But he had already snatched two and shoved them into his mouth. After just a second his face lit up.
"These are the best mallowmelt I've ever tasted!" But his mouth was full of the gooey treats, so it sounded more like "desh a dhe bech mauome I'ou evaou tased."
"Close your mouth, Keefe! It's disgusting to see all of that mallowmelt inside your mouth!" He just opened his moth more and chewed even louder. But when I turned around and pretended to gag, he actually closed his moth.
"Sooooooooo..." Fitz spoke up and broke the second awkward silence so far. "What movie are we watching Biana?" Biana lighted up, glad to finally be included in the conversation.
"I thought we could watch "Titanic", Sophie said it's a great movie. I've never seen it, since it's a human movie!" Everybody turned their heads to me again.
"Yeah. It's great. Really sad, but great!" I had seen it with my mom, or not my real mom, but my human mom, back in the forbidden cities, and we had cried like babies. I just hoped I was more mature now, so that I could watch the whole thing without crying. I popped the CD into the special, wireless CD-player Dex had made me. Then I sat down in the big cosy sofa and gestured for the other ones to come join me. Biana sat down farthest away from me and dragged Fitz so that he sat beside her. He tried to move away from her, and closer to me, but Keefe sat down between us. Fitz glared at Keefe with dark eyes. I started the movie. At first everyone looked pleased with the film. Biana looked dreamingly at Rose and Jack whenever they interacted, Fitz looked at the boat and all the human stuff, and Keefe just sat there, but he looked like he had a good time. And then the iceberg came out of nowhere. Biana started screaming, Fitz looked confused and Keefe just sat there. After a while I noticed that he glanced at me.
"What?" I whispered.
"Do you know that you're crying?" I lifted my hand to my cheek, and he was right. My whole face was wet.
"You have some emotions going on Foster." He looked down at me and I realized he actually looked worried. "Is something going on?"
"Well, it's a really sad movie, and the last time I saw it was with my human family."
"Do you miss them?"
"Yes, every day." He put his arm around me, and let it lay there. I tried to be calm, but my heart beated faster than ever, and my cheeks were burning. But I felt better. His arm held me together as I continued crying. So much for being mature...
Keefe POV
I had my arm around Foster's shoulders. I don't know why, but it felt like she needed someone, there in the dark. And when I looked at her and saw her teary eyes, I just felt like it was the right thing to do. I just hope she didn't feel my heart beat. 'Cause it was beating fast. And I was lucky it was dark around us, because otherwise everyone would see my red face. And the Keefster is not someone who blushes. The movie continued, but I couldn't pay attention to the story anymore. I could tell something horrible was happening, because Biana alternately screamed and sniffed, but other that that I had no idea. All I thought about then was how my arm moved up and down as Foster breathed, and how her head slowly tilted until it lay on my shoulder. After a while her breaths slowed down, her head grew heavier and he started snoring quietly. I smiled to myself. She had fell asleep on my arm, with her head on my shoulder.
I didn't realize the movie was over until Biana started screaming again.
"Why did Jack have to die! The door was big enough for both of them! Why don't they realize that! And what kind of happy ending is this? The good guy dies and the mean one stays alive? I hate my life!" I scrambled away from Foster, but I was careful enough so that she wouldn't wake up.
"We should probably let her sleep, right?"
"Right I'll hail her parents. You should stay as well Keefe! We'll have a sleepover!" Biana had already picked up bed imparter. I turned to Foster again, and started lifting her up.
"What are you doing?" Fitz was standing right behind me looking at me with the same angry eyes he'd had all day.
"Uhm, i thought I could get her into her room?"
"Don't you think I should do it?"
"Why? I already have her." I don't really know why but imstarted to get angry as well.
"I'm stronger, and less clumsy. You'll drop her."
"I won't drop her. And you know we're equally as strong."
"I'm still taking her." Fitz started to put his arms around her, but Biana interrupted him.
"Fitz! Can you come for a second?" He glanced at me for a second, sighed and started walking away to Biana.
Fitz POV
Oh. My. GOD! I was sooooooo close. Why did Biana have to ruin it? Sophie had been with Keefe all evening. She ate mallowmelt with him. She cried with him. And she fell asleep on his arm! Why couldn't I be Keefe? He's like the luckiest man alive, and I don't even think he knows it. And then he got to carry Sophie all the way up to her room. And his room is next to hers. I will never have a chance, right? I had my chance, but I spoiled it. Now this is my punishment.
"What is it Biana. Why did you want me to come?" I sighed inside.
"What do you think you're doing!" She whisper-screamed. "You're standing in the way of them! Don't you see that they will become an amazing couple?" I looked down at the floor.
"I'm sorry Fitz, but you had your chance with Sophie. It's Keefe's turn now." I looked up.
"Do you know?"
"Please. I think everyone knows. Except Sophie of course, she's to oblivious. And Keefe, he's to caught up in his own feelings to notice yours."
"How do you know all this?"
"I'm good at observing. I think that comes with being a Vanisher."
"Huh, good to know. I guess I have a lot to learn from you."
"Yes, you do. And you will always do."
Keefe POV
I slowly walked up the stairs. I didn't want to take the vortinator, since Foster could wake up from the bumpy ride. Her peaceful face was something I didn't want to take away from her. When she slept her whole body relaxed. The wrinkles between her eyebrows disappeared and the the shadows under her eyes seems less harsh. She looked beautiful. I walked into her room put her down on the bed, and pulled the covers up to her chin. Then, before I could stop myself, I kissed her forehead.
"Goodnight Foster. Sweet dreams." She continued sleeping, and her small breaths echoed in my ears. I felt like sitting there forever, just watching her sleep. And then I realized that's probably the most creepy thing I've ever thought. Get yourself together, Keefe!
Thanks for reading this seventh chapter! And again, sorry it took so long. I think I know what song I want Sophie and Keefe to sing on the summer dance, but if you have any more ideas, please tell me. And as always, please review, fave and follow if you want more, or want to be part of the story with your own ideas. I appreciate everything! Bye! :)
