SONGS AND TRAILS (Book 1)

CHAPTER 38

"Raidean?"

"Caldor?" He said casually.

"What the fuck are you even doing here?"

"Sleeping." He answered holding the sheets up to where his nose is, leaving only his eyes' visibility.

"Why? Why here?"

"This couch is more comfortable than my bed." He drawled.

"Are you drunk?" Caldor asked in disbelief.

"No!" He lied but his eyes gave him off. His eyes being as lazy as they were, became even lazier when he was drunk and Caldor could tell him off.

"You know what, the four of you, meet me at the City of Wings tomorrow after breakfast." He headed to the door.

"Okay! Good night!" Bella said giddily and he just looked at her struggling to stand still.

"This is her, feeling unwell?!" He looked at Mia.

"They lied to you because..." Bella started but Daya covered her mouth with her palm and she just giggled against it not even struggling.

Caldor held himself from smiling. "Tomorrow!" he said and was about to leave when a maid came in with a tray of liquor. "What the..."

"The drinks you asked for." The maid said.

"Ooh! Daya! Your drinks!" Bella pointed at them with a big smile.

Daya held her back but Bella just laughed. "I don't know what she's talking about... I think the maid might've mistaken the rooms."

"I see!" Caldor narrowed his eyes at them and Bella just giggled. "Could someone please put Ms. Heydar to sleep?" Bella whined and Caldor wished to stay and see but had to leave. "Please, never deliver any alcohol to this room ever again." He told the maid and she left.

"Rude!" Bella exclaimed.

"Put her to bed!" he then closed the door. He could finally grin all the way back to his room now.

Arabella looked adorable, dare he even think about it. He's never seen that other side of her before. Again, dare he... he liked it!

"I don't want to go to bed!" Bella struggled off of her also drunken friends. "Let go!" She pulled off their grips.

"You heard Caldor, we should put you to bed." Marie got up.

"Traitor!" Mia turned to her.

"Hey, I told you I didn't want to get in trouble so there was no way I was going to get in one." Marie said.

"Wow! I didn't know you had it in you." Daya sounded impressed.

"I want a paper." Bella swished on Mia's study table. "I want a paper." She demanded.

"What for?" Daya asked.

"I want to write!" She responded and finally, she picked up a paper. "I want a pen!" She demanded again.

"I think she wants to write something for Keith." Marie said.

"What? A sex note?" Daya said.

Mia gasped then turned to Bella, "Bella, Keith is taken!"

"I want a pen!" Bella continued.

"Give her a pen. I think she wants to answer all his questions." Marie got up to help Bella. "Would a book do?"

"Yes! Yes!" Bella was excited.

"Are you sure you can write in this state?"

Arabella nodded and Marietta handed her everything she needed and left her on the table starting to fill the pages up with crooked handwriting.
