A Strange Case Of Dè Jà Vu

Chapter 16

Cassidy POV

Today Isabella and Christian needed to attend an important meeting of some sort. The trip was out of town so they would be gone for the entire day.

Juliana offered to help with my training. She is not as experienced as her sister when it comes to magic. Though what she lacks in magic skills, she makes up for in combat skills.

After training Juliana needed to tend to a few things before Isabella and Christian got back.

Which is how I find myself strolling around the grounds which did not stop at the mansion. There were a few cottages at the outskirts of the grounds along with other buildings but what really caught my attention was the stables.

I have always loved horses. Ever since dad took me to my uncle Shelby’s ranch. I fell in love with horses.

I walk into the stables glancing around. Its really big and like the mansion it has a Victorian feel to it. A giggle escapes my lips when I see the majestic critters in their stalls.

I want to walk deeper into the stables but I stop when I hear voices. I peeked through the crack of the entrance doors and see a familiar bundle of raven black hair.

Colt.

He is not alone. Colt is talking – (or rather arguing) with a red haired girl.

They can’t see me. I don’t know why  I am doing this. I’m not one to spy on people.

“How foolish could you be, Colt?” The girls voice is laced with anger and frustration.

“Don’t you care about Axel and your other friends? Don’t you care about me?” She continues. Not giving Colt a chance to speak.

“Will you calm down,” Colt finally speaks.

“No!”

“No. You need to stay away from her,” the girl seems a bit hysterical and I wonder if she’s going to have a panic attack.

It makes me wonder who are they talking about.

“Why can’t you just forget about her.”

I watch as she places a hand to his cheek, gently caressing it. “ You know I can help you forget,” she whispers seductively.

I feel a strike of pain rip through my chest. Tears fill the brim of my eyes but I refuse to let them fall.

Of course Colt and his Greek god of a body would be adored by at least half of the female population. But what I didn’t expect was that I would be one of those girls.

I take a step back, away from the entrance doors and walk further into the stables.

I wish Colt didn’t have this effect on me. I felt like I had my heart yanked out from my chest. I had develop some sort of feelings for the little monster but what made my heart ache even worst was the fact that Colt hated me. We couldn’t be in the same room  without insults being thrown at it other. That’s why I avoided him at all cost.

Despite his rudeness I was falling for Colt and I wish I hadn’t.

Aaargh!

Remember when I said my simple life was boring? I take it all back.

‘I thought I was clueless before?’

I don’t even know if I belong here. I cant keep being a burden to Isabella and Christian or a nuisance to Colt.

I was pulled from my dark thoughts when a loud whinny startled me. I jump back in fear, tripping over something and falling. Luckily for me the hay cushioned my fall.
