SUMMER'S RAIN

CHAPTER 29

CHAPTER 29

“Have you ever tasted anything so good in your life?” I asked Summer as I take another lick from my huge three scoop death by chocolate ice cream cone. We are walking down the board walk in Savannah Georgia it’s a little after lunch on a Saturday. A couple of months ago Summer had asked if I would like to go grab a bite to eat for lunch we her and do some shopping of course with the way I love food as well as shopping it was a no brainer that I jumped at the chance. After that day it turned into an every weekend thing we did together. We visit a different states or country every week. Being able to blink yourself anywhere in the world you want to go has a lot of perks to it. The best part about the Saturdays though has been how close Summer, and I have gotten. She really is a great person so is Harris but the stuff I do with him is completely different. Him and I usually train or learn runes, and he loves for us to walk around the Keeper’s World while he tells me stories about what it was like being a child and living there. I have to admit I was envious of all the Keepers for having the opportunity to grow up in such a magical place.

“I'm going to say something if you feel it's not my business just say so, and I'll let it go.” Summer says.

“Ask away you know I'll let you know if it's something I don't want to talk about.”

Summer takes a lick from her chocolate ice cream and moans.  I laugh at her the way she closes her eyes I swear she looks like she has died and gone to Heaven. She opens her eyes and laughs. We walk on for a few minutes laughing and joking with each other over who has the biggest ice cream. Then Summer gets serious.

“Ok here it goes it seems you and Case have gotten really close in the last few months?”

I knew this was going to come up eventually so I decide to answer and get it over with. “Yeah I guess you could say we have.”

“It also seems to me that maybe Case is a little more involved in the relationship than maybe you are.”

I have to say I never expected her to say that. It takes me a minute to reply. “Really, why would you think that?”

“When he looks at you, it's like you're his everything almost like he'd die without you but for some reason, I don't see that same expression in your eyes.”

Ok this is so not going the way I thought it would. I thought maybe she would say something like maybe you two should slow down or are you having sex? If you are, are you both being safe? Maybe this is a good thing that she wants to talk about though. After all I do have some questions about my relationship with Case. Like why I keep putting off having sex with him. I love him, and I know with everything in my heart that he loves me as well. Last night had been great we had gone with Lisa to the Niles. When he sat down, he pulled me onto his lap played with my hair kissed my neck he never stopped touching me. To him I was the only other person besides him in the place. He never even lifted his head to look at anyone else. I knew he had been hoping last night when we got home, I would have asked him to stay with me. To be honest I thought I would have too.

Case had been gone for two days, and I had been just as happy to see him as he had been to see me but when we got back to my bedroom door after a lot of kissing and petting I made up an excuse and sent him back to his bedroom. I know I hurt him when I did it. I wasn't trying to be a tease I really had thought last night was going to be the night and for the life of me. I don’t understand what made me keep stopping.

“I love Case Summer really I…” before I get the chance to finish that sentence we both hear a woman screaming from as empty building down the road from us.

“Hold that thought honey I think we have some work to do.” Summer says, already moving toward the back of the building to find a way in.
