New Beginning

Chapter 7

A sleepover. How on earth you managed to get yourself into this mess? You have no idea.

You stood there as you watched the popcorn pop, lost in your thoughts. The girls and Alcina were in the lounge already changed into their night clothes. You felt bad that you didn't have anything for Alcina to change into because of the blatant size difference, but she insisted it was alright and went back to her castle to grab a change of clothes, also to ensure her home will not be in pieces once she got back.

A mixture of kettle corn and buttery popcorn filled your nostrils. You made the kettle corn for yourself and for anyone else who might like it. You aren't too keen for all that buttery mess but the girls love it.

You empty the popcorn into two separate bowls and make your way to the lounge. Entering, your eyes fixate to the floor to see that the girls, yours and Alcina's, have made some kind of fort with blankets and pillows. Alcina is situated on the sofa, not the one you two just unfortunately had sex on... thankfully.

"Mmm the popcorn smells so good. Thank you, Mamá." Faye said.

"Thank you." Maricela and Yasmin said one after the other.

"Yes. Thank you, Lady Flora." Alcina's daughters said in almost unison.

"You girls are welcome. I have kettle corn and butter. I wasn't sure which one everyone liked. I know my daughters fein over butter but you are welcome to whichever you like." You smiled.

"We all like butter as well, except mother. She likes kettle corn." Bela stated.

"Great, that means we get this entire bowl to ourselves, while you and Lady Dimitrescu can share." Faye said grabbing the bowl of butter popcorn out of my hand.

You smiled through your inner thoughts telling you to fake being sick and go lock yourself in your room just so you didn't have to be next to this woman. It's not that you don't mind sharing with her, it's that you know what she can do to you and she makes a game out of it.

Sitting down some distance away from Alcina, you place the bowl of popcorn in between you two to give enough distance. You glance over to her to find her looking down to the bowl of popcorn and then back up to you with a shit-eating grin on her face, shaking her head.

"So, did you girls pick a movie?" You said clearing your throat, directing your attention away from Alcina.

"The Witch." Yasmin said.

"You've seen that movie like a hundred times. Did they have any choice?" You laughed.

"Well, I suggested it and everyone said that it was fine, so."

You scoff and turn on the movie anyway.

As the movie starts you can hear silent crunching on the floor in front of you. You finally go to grab a piece of popcorn when you feel another hand brush against yours. You quickly snatch your hand away, sighing to yourself.

'Of course the shit you only see happen in movies happens to me.'

The weight of the sofa is suddenly shifted when you feel Alcina lean in close to you to whisper in your ear.

"Darling, if you aren't going to be able to control yourself maybe you shouldn't sit next to me." She teased.

You roll your eyes. "I'm fine."

"Hm." She hummed as she leaned away, her voice echoing inside your ears. It's already starting to get you worked up. You try your best to just focus on the movie.
