After The Dinner Party

The Fake Boyfriend Pt.3

We tried to spy on Andrea, as she was flipping through her book while standing by the stove.

"We need something to distract her, so she leaves he room and we can get a look at that book." Said Hattie.

"Good idea." I said.

"Kevin, go drop your cigar on her coat thats on the couch over there."

Kevin raised his eyebrows in surprise, "I just lit this though."

"Y/n won't that start a fire?" Hattie asked.

"That's the point, and it's her coat so she'll be distracted, and we can get the book." I said.

"Alright I'll go waste a perfectly good cigar." Kevin said, he was obviously annoyed.

Kevin walked over to where Andreas coat and stood there trying to blend in with he crowd, then he casually dropped his cigar onto the couch causing the entire coat to go up in flames. He smiled and walked away whistling.

"Oopsies." He said, as he walked over to us.

Robert ran over and tried stomping on the coat to put out the fire. Andrea ran in .

"NOW! GO!" Hattie yelled as the commotion in the room was super loud and everyone was too distracted to notice that I was stealing Andrea's book.

Kevin and Hattie kept watch for me as I ran into the kitchen and picked up the book, flipping through it.

Susan ran into the kitchen.

"Where did you run off to!?" I asked.

"I was talking to Cabot for a bit."

I rolled my eyes, "we're on a time crunch, I found Andrea's book."

"Take it and let's get out of here!" Susan said.

"No, you don't understand, these are just, recipes."

Susan took the book from me and started flipping through the pages.

"Chicken soup....Marinara sauce....Mac'n cheese...what the hell these are all normal." Susan said, reading the recipes.

Kevin gave us the signal that everyone was beginning to settle down and walk back towards the kitchen.

We quickly left and went to the backyard where nobody was. It was pitch black out so we walked down the sidewalk until we came across a street lamp. The four of us stood in a small circle under it.

"I have an idea." Said Kevin, "how long do these dinner parties usually last?" He asked.

"I'd say until midnight, they don't have dinner until 10 on these nights." Susan said.

"Okay so it's about 10 right now, right?" Kevin asked.

"Yes." I said.

"So, we break into Andrea's house and steal her book and ingredients, therefore, we can un-spell Robert, prove that Andrea's a witch and everything will go back to normal."
"Easier said then done..." I said.
"Do we have a choice?" Asked Susan.
"Worst comes to worst I just have to let Robert go. I'll get over it." I said.
"No no no y/n you don't understand this isn't just about Robert! Don't you see that she can basically take over the entire town with this? She could spell everyone, and get anything she wants." Said Susan.
"She's right." Said Kevin.
"Y/n she could go after Kit next." Said Hattie.
I paused.
"Why would you even say that." I said.
"Because it's true, she seems to target you so who knows what she'll do next. After all, she didn't spell Robert to forget Kit, did she? Kits his last connection he was to you and I'm sure she won't just let that slide." Said Hattie.
Kevin and Susan nodded in agreement.
"Where has Kit been lately? I haven't seen her around." Asked Hattie.
"My maids been taking care of her, she has the flu." Said Susan.
"And you're living with Susan?" Kevin asked me.
"Where am I supposed to go, my dead mothers house? Roberts house?" I asked sarcastically.
"More like Andreas house now, he follows her around like a dog, it's weird." Said Susan.
"Don't remind me." I cringed.
The clock above the church across the street rung when the clock struck 10.
"If we're going to stop Andrea we better go now." Kevin said.
We all followed.
