SONGS AND TRAILS (Book 1)

CHAPTER 37

The little tour was a success and by evening, they were all being taken to the palace. They spent their day at the beautiful Sky City and had their lunch there. General Smith didn't turn out to be such an asshole after all. He had a lot of humor in him and little jokes that they broke their ribs laughing but his lips never once twitched at them. They bid him goodbye before they left and he went back to his works.

Keith joined them in the palace for a few while.

"Uhm, Ms. Heydar..." Keith started.

"Arabella is fine." Bella told him.

"Okay. So about that little talk, are you free right now?" he asked.

"Well, I'm doing nothing... unless there's something in our schedule I know not of." She turned to look at Caldor.

"Caldor!" Keith inquired, "Can I borrow Arabella for a second?"

"Why do you need one of my trainees, may I ask?" Caldor approached them.

"The study I said I was doing."

"Is she okay with it?" Caldor looked at Bella.

"I'm fine with it actually if there's nothing on the schedule." She said.

"No. We're done for the day, Ms. Heydar." He assured her.

"Okay! Great!" Keith said. "Let's take a walk." Bella stood up from her seat bidding the girls. "Let's make this vaccine, as you called it." he smiled.

"Funny, it is." Bella told him, "Because it started as a plague."

"A plague?" Keith asked as they proceeded to walk into the garden with one hand holding a notepad and another a pen.

"You can take your seat now, Caldor." Daya teased him after noticing he couldn't stop staring at them leave.

"Ms. Sandareal, I'm your Master. Stop addressing me by my name." He turned to look at her.

"Oh come on, we're miles away from Greyenvir."

Caldor just shook his head and left the spot and spotted Noor on Caesar's laps. He narrowed his eyes on them.

"What?" Daya turned to look.

"You two! How comes you two are in the same room?" Caldor pointed at them.

"We don't know what you're talking about." Noor looked at him.

"You don't know what I'm talking about?" Caldor crossed his arms over his chest.

"Yeah." Caesar said simply.

"Do you think I was born yesterday." Caldor frowned. "I said no room should occupy people with different genders."

"So?" Caesar asked.

"So why are the two of you sharing a bed?"

"We're not." Noor denied.

Caldor pinched the bridge of his nose. "Are you at least having tea?"

"I don't know what..."

"Don't patronize me." Caldor stopped Noor. "Go get that tea from the kitchen. Now! I don't want any babies right now."

Noor frowned but got to her feet to leave.

"And I'll deal with the issue of the room later." Caldor added and turned to leave.

"Mhh! Seriously though, you guys have that glow." Daya laid her head back as Mia laughed. "It must've been really good sex." she grinned.

Mia giggled. "...and long." she added.
