164. Bread Crumbs

Marcus walks threw first. Then Elek goes threw. Then Elijah.

I come threw last and the prince has Elijah up against the wall. "MINE."

"DAMN IT." I look at Elek and Marcus. "I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HANDLE THORA OR CORAL AFTER THIS. THEY ARE GOING TO BE TRYING TO DO THIS ALL THE TIME."

They both start laughing. I rub my eyes and look at the mates.

"All mine." They start hugging and kissing.

I shake my head and sit down at the table. "I'm going to eat this food while you both say 'mine' 180 times."

They both nod without looking away from each other.

I sit down and make me a plate of food. I sit and eat it while they half make out and half talk. I sit back after I get full.

Elek walks over and starts picking at my left over meat. "They are really bad at picking out dates for you." Then he just makes himself a plate and sits down with me.

I crack up laughing. "This is a good date. The girls will probably try to put together a mate finding service after this though. It's going to get bad."

Then he starts laughing. "Maybe we shouldn't tell them."

"That's probably the best idea. We can say they met somewhere else."

He nods at me and we both laugh again.

I look at Marcus and he doesn't look happy. But he is just standing there anyways. He's not doing anything.

Elek eats his food and sits back. "It is good food."

"Yea I loved it last time too."

I look at Elijah and his mate. "Can I go see the fish again?"

"Of course princess." He doesn't look at me again.

"Thank you sir." I stand up and look at them. "You 2 can stare at each other outside in the garden. There is better lighting out there."

The prince puts his arm around Elijah and leads him out.

I look at Marcus and Elek. "I really hope we're going to the garden."

They both nod at me.

Once we get outside I run to the fish.

I drop to my knees and start patting the water. They come right up again. Then I see a butterfly and take off after it. I chase it down a couple paths. Then I lose it but I find a long stick. I go back over to the fish pond and start walking around it with the stick in the water. The fish start chasing the stick so I run and they chase me. I absolutely love it. It is so fun. I kneel down on the side of the water again and touch it. They come right up and kiss my fingers. I can't help but smile. I love these things.

Elek walks up beside me and drops to a knee. He hands me a bowl. "It's bread crumbs. You can feed the fish." I look at the bowl and then the fish. He laughs for a second. Then he takes a little bit in his fingers and sprinkles it on the water. All the fish come up and eat.

"They are so amazing." I take some of the crumbs and do what he did. "Look." I put my fingertips in the water. "They will kiss your fingers."

He laughs for a second. "Well they think you are food."

I yank my hand back. "Oh."

"They can't hurt you. They are way to small."

"I'll just feed them the real food."

He nods at me and stands up. "I'm going to go figure out where my brother roamed off to. Neither of them are watching where they are going."

"Yea, they seem a lot like me and Tye. We forget other people exist when we get close. We'd probably roam into an entirely different castle without noticing."
