Vulpecula ✔️

Plans.

"How about all of us go to different places? Or maybe two people at the same place? It'll be easier and things will be done much faster. You can just send us the picture or the photocopy of it and we will all go on our way. Maybe then we will not waste all 45 days of our holidays." Sebastian suggested at the table when I laid down my plan in front of everyone.

"I guess that is better." I agreed and so did everyone else. "But you all don't have to do this if you don't want to. It's alright, you have a family and-"

"We will go." Kayden cut me off which made me clench my teeth and glare in his direction.

"I'll go with Calla." Sebastian announced. I already knew something was conspiring between them. I wouldn't be surprised if Calla comes back pregnant from this trip.

"I'll go with Sophia." Edward said and looked at her for confirmation, which she didn't deny. During the court hearing and everything else regarding Sophia's cousin and uncle, Edward and her had gotten way closer. Now this is another honeymoon.

"Harry and I will go together, right dude?" Dylan poked him and raised an eye brow.

"Yeah sure. But it better be a good location. I want food." Harry groaned and licked his lips dramatically.

"So Clayton and Kayden can go together and I'll go alone." I announced and it was all finalized. But does it ever go my way? No. Hell no!

"We three can go together. You can't possibly be thinking of going to a strange country, or rather a continent on your own?" Clayton pinned me with his gaze. His eyes were so accusing that it made me feel awful about thinking this way.

Is he using one of his spells?

"I am. Before this, I thought to do all of it on my own. I have no problems. What can be bad? Some lads who hit on me? I can take them down. Some supernaturals? I can take them down too. What is left? Air? Water? Humans?" I sassed and crossed my arms over my chest with an amused smirk. I just wanted to avoid Kayden at all costs.

"I don't know. Maybe crows? Or spiders?" He smirked back. "I heard about this new species of spiders that can fly you know?" Clayton smiled at me showing his white teeth that I so wanted to break for mentioning that horrid creature.

The day I found out, I locked all the doors, windows and tucked myself under the covers so tight that I had to wake up several time, panting and all sweaty but I still didn't relent. I'm disgusted by spiders, they aren't scary, they just kind of disgust me. Their long legs, their creepy heads and the way they move.

I shudder and glare at him. "What I'm saying is that you aren't going alone. That's not even up for an argument Ava." Clayton clarified. I sighed and weighed my options. On one hand I will have to travel alone and talk to a lots of people, which I don't like to do. But if they go with me, they can do all the talking while I assess the surroundings.

"Fine."

Reaching back in the house, I smell the sweet aroma of chocochip cookies baked by none other than Joanna herself. So without wasting another second I ran into the kitchen and found the most amusing sight.

Joanna was casually taking out the rest of the cookies from the oven while papa John sat at one of the chairs with a pout on his face as he caressed his right hand that was slightly red. Now I can easily make out what actually happened a few minutes ago. Papa John must've smelt the cookies just like me and he decided that it would be great to sneak a few into his pocket. But before he could accomplish his poorly laid out task, Joanna must've turned around and smacked his hand with the wooden spatula kept at the table.

"Look what she did to me Ava." Papa John whined.

"Why would you do that Jo-Jo? He loves you....and the cookies. Why?" I exaggerated.

"Welcome back honey. Here take as many was you want." Joanna smiled at me and gave me the cookies. I stared at her in alarm and then looked at the cookies in her hands. Was this a trap? Was I supposed to take it? Would not also get smacked?

I hesitantly took one and when there was no smack for me, I picked two more. One of which I gave to Joanna and the other to papa John who smiled at me proudly. This is just too cute. They both are amazing and I'm so lucky to be a part of their family. Papa John kissed my cheek and made me sit beside him while slinging his arm over my shoulder.

"So there is this parent teacher meeting. And I want you both to come there. My grades aren't bad and my overall performance has been good so you won't hear anything bad about me. I promise." I rambled and looked at their faces.

"Of course we are coming there. No way am I missing my daughter's meeting." Joanna boasted as she smiled so warmly at me that it could put the sun to shame.

I looked at papa John and he was silently looking at me. There was so much adoration in his eyes that I never saw in anyone else's. I want someone to look at me like he does, with pure love and pride. My future husband or boyfriend should look at me like that. Every girl and guy deserves that. A girl must cherish her guy and the guy should do the same.

On the day I decided for touring, I brought the idea up at the dining table. Both of them were shocked but supported me nonetheless. Joanna couldn't travel right now, I didn't want her to and I wanted papa John to stay here for her. Otherwise too I could not take them with me to all the countries. Now things are much easier. As everyone else will be going so everything will be much easier and faster.

"The meeting is day after tomorrow. So it's all set." I cheered and reached for another cookie.
