Homesick

| 30 | Goodbye Keziah

"Good morning!" A voice greeted, waking Dapha from her slumber.

"Good morning?" Dapha repeated sluggishly, still half a sleep. "Who's talking to me right now?"

"Who's talking? What, can't tell your beautiful fiancés voice when you hear it?"

"Fiancé?" Dapha mumbled, 'My fiancé.. wait Raine!' She thought, eyes popping open and seeing a goofy smile, right above her. Dapha jumped, trying to sit up but instead slammed her head onto Raines.

"Ow!" He cried holding his injured head. "What are you trying to do? Give me a concussion?"

"Why are you in my room!?" Dapha asked, shuffling to the edge of her bed.

"This is your room?" Raine asked in confusion, looking around the small room. "I thought this was a tiny walk in closet you just decided to sleep in."

"Tiny? It's not tiny it's cozy." Dapha said defensively, crossing her arms. "But you still haven't answered my question."

"Sorry, it's my fault." Ivory intervened peeking her head through the door. "I accidentally told him where you were and he took off. He's a very fast runner."

"You shouldn't mind though right, it's not like you're hiding anything in here from me are you?" He asked with a grin before quickly jumping off the bed and straight to her cabbinets. "Let's see what you're hiding."

"Hey don't do that!" Dapha exclaimed pulling Raine back by his arm. "Don't you know it's rude to go through peoples things!?"

"We're engaged so does it really matter?" Raine asked, as if stating the obvious.

"Yes it does, now get out let me get ready." Dapha shouted pushing Raine away. "Wait if you're here, is Aurelia here too?"

"I'm here!" Aurelia exclaimed poking her head through the door right next to Ivory's. "I got here before Raine actually."

"Really? Why are you guys here so early?" Dapha asked, still trying to push Raine out of her room.

"It's more like why are you alseep so late?" Ivory teased with a giggle. "It's almost noon."

"I had a very busy day yesterday." Dapha shrugged. "Now get out!" She shouted shoving Raine harshly out of her room and slamming the door right after.

"What was that for." Raine pouted.

"She just has to freshen up, come let's wait in our livingroom." Ivory smile leading the two away.

Once Dapha finally finished getting dressed she went looking for the group. "Where are you guys." Dapha called out, walking into the living room. "Oh, here you guys are."

"You sure took long, it felt like we were waiting for hours!" Raine complained crossing his arms.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Dapha shrugged plopping down on the couch with the group.

"So where's Valetha?" Aurelia asked straight forwardly.

"I'm not sure, where is she Ivory?" Dapha asked turning to Ivory.

"I believe she said she wanted to look around the court yard." Ivory hummed. "She said she's never seen on so big before."

"Hasn't she been living here for a while? Why is she still exploring the place, this mansion isn't that big." Raine asked.

"Shows what you know, there's hidden rooms everywhere." Dapha stated exaggeratedly. Raine gave Dapha a skeptical look clearly not believe her, and turned to Ivory for confirmation.
