The Luna Legacy - Genesis

Chapter 31 - Date Night, Truth My Dear

By 9 AM the kids are both up and having their breakfast, Alex spoke to them and apologize again for just showing up unannounced.  He assured them he was doing everything to make sure that we are safe and so far, we were. 

Abby told Alex that she was really scared because she didn't want Giorgio to take Tom and that she was happy it was a false alarm.  She asked how Natalia was and his response to her was "better off or worse off, the same" she nodded and continued to eat. 

During breakfast the kids told Alex all about our trip on the river, Abby told him how close Noah and I were.  I could see what she was doing, Abby knew that I had feelings for Alex, and she probably suspected that he did the same. 

"Maybe both of you can finally be happy for each other" she says biting into her omelet not looking at either Alex or me. Alex, looks at Abby with a raised eyebrow then at me, and what did I do? Smile and sip my coffee.

After the kids were done with their breakfast and chatting with Alex, they started studying school stuff, with Alex's help.  They are both well above their grade level and do a lot of extra lessons, they are always eager to learn new things.

Abby wants to be a doctor when she grows up, so she does extra lessons in the sciences, and she is great at math as well.  She recently started a course in college math, so she is well on her way, she wants to graduate high school early she says. 

Alex's flight is at 3:30 back to Chicago and its already 1 PM the time is winding down and I miss him already.  He's family and honestly, now that I am finally able to see him as my brother it makes me feel free. Like I had put down a burden I had been carrying for a very long time. 

We say our goodbyes and Alex promises to keep me in the loop on any updates regarding our earlier conversation.  After Alex leaves the kids and I have lunch then hang out by the pool and enjoy nature.  The pool area is just at the mouth of the woods, and from where I lay on the pool chair, I can see a shadowy figure in the woods.

Before I got a chance to make out what it was it disappears.  Maybe it was my imagination, after everything I have learned in the past few days it's understandable if my brain can no longer tell what is real and what is just a figment of my imagination, so I pay it no mind.  I decide that I would take a nap in the warm July sun and get some color for my date tonight. 

At 6 PM I'm going through my suitcase trying to find an outfit to wear tonight.  I was getting rather frustrated, for some reason nothing felt right.  When did I become this girl? I thought to myself as I sit on the bed hopeless.  I used to roll my eyes at Natalia going through a closet full of clothes and fussing about not having anything to wear. I think this is the first sign that I am boy crazy, I think to my self as I throw my body on the bed "ugh!" I say as my back hits the bed.

Ok there is only one way to solve this problem, take three of my best outfits, stand at the end of the bed, close my eyes and turn 360 degrees three times.  Once for each of the three outfits that were laid out on the bed.  On the third turn, stop and grabbed the dress that I will wear tonight.  I take up the dress open my eyes to see what I would be wearing tonight, I look at it and nodded, perfect, now time to shower.  

Time to wash my body, shave my legs and other areas as well then washed my hair. After twenty minutes I'm done with my bath, I get out the shower lotion my body, spray on my Victoria secret body mist, put on my underwear and my strapless bra.

I Blow dry my hair and added a few curls to give a wavy style.  Then I put on a little makeup to maintain a natural look but mostly because I haven't mastered the art of flawless makeup. My cherry lip gloss makes my lips look supple and kissable, exactly the look I was going for.
