Millie

Chapter Twenty Six- Pool Party (Part One)

Wren threw open the front door of the Nomikos house and looked me up and down appreciatively, her eyebrows starting to wiggle as we made eye contact "I've never seen you in a bikini"

"Thank me later" Veda greeted as she pushed past Wren and entered the house "enjoy" she called back. The casual way in which she left us at the door amazed me, it was as if she had been here many times already, and was a part of the family.

Josephine greeted her as she entered the house, and pulled her away to see the party excitedly.

I raised an eyebrow as Wren finally took her eyes from my body and looked back to me "babe... you've seen me naked... this surely isn't better than that"

Wren smiled, and her hands landed on my hips before snaking around my waist as she drew me into her body "I've always appreciated the wrapping of gifts... it gets you all excited for the present inside"

"Oh I see" I tease "well you don't get to unwrap this gift ... it's not your birthday"

Wrens grip of my waist tightened "Oh Ms Dawson...didn't you hear your sister... she handed this gift to me personally"

"Ms Nomikos, aren't we meant to be going slow" I remind her, leaning in and brushing my lips over hers. The kiss was gentle and delicate, and absolutely delicious.

Wren cupped my cheek, and with my eyes still closed I smiled and broke the kiss. "Mmm" I reacted, licking my bottom lip.

"I miss you" she whispered, bringing my lips back to hers, but this time kissing me deeply, her left hand on my hip and the right caressing my jaw.

"I think Olympia is about to drown Camilla" Bash's concerned and raspy voice breaks through our little embrace and has us part.

"Sorry?" Wren asks "what did you just say"

"Olympia is about to drown Camilla" he repeats.

"Noooo" Wren panics, as she takes off back through the front door running.

"Hi Millie" Bash greets me, with a completely different and happy tone. He takes my hand, and I smile down at him.

"Hey Bastion. Did you say that to get rid of her" I ask him, Knowing his dimples didn't just pop for nothing.

"I just wanted to show you my new game, and Wren doesn't share you" he explains.

"Come on then" I say, tugging his hand "lead the way before she realises you duped her"

Bastion lead me up to the game room and had me take a seat as he loaded up his new Mario Kart game. He was so excited to show me, his large brown eyes were sparkling. Nobody loved visitors quite like Bastion did. A new person, and a captive audience to drag into his competitive races. Everyone had a character, and Bash picked them out for you personally. I had always been Princess Daisy.

"So, you played Camilla yet" I ask curiously.

He hands me the second controller and shakes his head as we pick out our characters cars. Bastion was always Mario, with the little red race car and the flying squirrel parachute.

"Why not" I ask. "I thought everyone got a character"

He picks out our race and we wait at the starting line for the countdown "She told me she doesn't play kids games" he reveals.

I frown and mull that over as we begin the race. Bastion is on the edge of his seat as he speeds off in first place, and I must admit I try not to whoop his butt so easily on here, despite the fact I can. I loved watching his excited little face when he sped over the line ahead of me and threw his fist in the air triumphantly.
