Bound

Chapter . Twenty-three

Music playing: Say ok by Vanessa Hudgens

(After the movie)

The movie was great, it had a good ending. The girl managed to save everyone and in the process freeing the animal that had been attacking them by letting it go free.

The ending, they had a kind of understanding that none of them would ever cross paths with one another ever again. With that in mind I thought about Lyde and the thing that had tried to attack me or...I hoped it wasn't there to kill me.

Spencer walked us up to the deck, but as we tried to talk Daisy was hanging outside with Kylo, because Stacey decided to bring her boyfriend over for dinner. So, Stacey and her boyfriend were dishing up our dinner with Aunt Kera, Spencer seemed like he wanted to tell me something but he left briefly with a quick goodbye.

Before I turned around, he quickly came back and said "Lili, I-I like you", I looked at him.

"I like you too Spencer", I replied with a smile,

"No Lili, I mean I like, like you, like really like you, you know more than a friend", he reassured me.

Without a second thought, our lips touched quickly, and a small squeal came out of my cousin Daisy's mouth.

"Sorry", and with that he was gone.

Daisy ran over to me and and squealed in my ears, and then left me to my thoughts, "You coming girl, dinners ready",

"What happened?", said Stacey.

"Nothing", Daisy winked at me and I followed after her, stunned and blushing. "Stupid Spenny", I muttered to myself.

(The next day)

At school, Spencer and I spent most of the time that we shared with each other practically keeping our conversation short. Each time I was with Daisy,I started to squint my eyes suspiciously at him, he would u-turn and keep things with space between us. In my head I was thinking, you kissed me first.

Our day practically was like that for the rest of the time, then I had cheer practice with the girls at morning tea. Luckily with private ballet I used to do as a kid, but stopped after my mum's accident helped me get into the team.

The girls had their first practice the first day after school, but now they are all at morning tea. Which I thanked the gods for this. I was given a uniform and was expected to bring my 
A game to all the upcoming practices. Our next event of where we would be doing our first routine would be in four months time.

Before school ended, i saw a familiar silhouette, it looked like Lyde. Then I left with Daisy and Stacey who both waited for me after class. We went home with Aunt Kera before we started our work at Stu's café.

At Stu's café there wasn't much people there, Natalia and I were unable to make it that time to get a hold of the painting because of the hospital visit. But she came in today with what looked like a very big bag.

"Hi there Lili", she chimed,

I mimed quietly to her that I can cover for her, "That won't work we need a distraction to get their attention or else game over", just as soon as she said that Spencer walked in,

"Bingo", she said.

As Spencer came closer to us he was about to get his waiter outfit on, apparently I was able to convince my Aunt Kera, that we could use the bear outfit on special occasions like Christmas or New Years and so on.

Thank goodness she agreed and he managed to get his own uniform alongside the chef. Might I add he looked great too, the blue and white really bought out his eyes, and he always put his long hair into a tidy bun that made you think about how well he would look in a tux or suit. 

Natalia filled Spencer in on her plan and he kept everyone occupied, while they were distracted I had to keep lookout. in my mind I was slightly freaking out, what if this was a waste of time, I was already half apologising in my head for making Natalia and Spencer to go out of their way for me. 

When the sweat from my brow felt like it was purposely trying to sabotage me, she came close to me. She sat next to me and showed me what she found. It was a book with a wolf emblem on it, we both looked at each other. She gave me the book, and told me to let her know what I would find in it. I was about to protest that I was too nervous to do such a simple request but she forcibly put it in my hands.

On our way home after shutting the store, Natalia texted me with question marks, but I hadn't yet had a look. Daisy left me alone in her room a few times so I just had to find the courage to have a look at it. Then I got a phone call on my phone, "Hello", I said picking it up, I almost thought it could have been my father, each night or on some days we made sure to keep each other updated. The most exciting thing for dad besides me starting school for extra credit before university, was that he managed to see someone who might have a lead for mums accident.

I had no idea dad agreed with me that it could have been more than an accident. With that in mind it helped my heart feel like we would be getting the answer we really needed. Then I found myself holding the book in my hand, the door opened and I saw Daisy coming in.

"What are you reading?", she smiled,

"I can't open it, can you do it instead?", I asked her,

She looked at me and then opened the book, she then started reading it to me...but a sudden knock on the door came, stealing our attention away from the item Natalia found in the painting at Daisys fathers café
