Exalted

Chapter 9

BREE'S P.O.V:

I watched on as theo spemt the next half an hour pacing at the end of my bed. Finally, he came towards me and scooped me up before placing me in his lap. He buried his head in my neck and breathed out, his whole body relaxing.

My eyes began to drop as the sound of his heartbeat lulled me to sleep. Before I could fall into my dream world, he whispered in my ear. Not that I would tell him this but it made my heart flutter and involuntarily caused me to blush.

"Do you want any food sweetheart? We need to get your strength back up."

I didn't want to disappoint him and nodded my head in reply despite not wanting to eat.

I let out a slight squeal as he stood up with me still in his arms and made his way down the stairs with me.

A women, who I easily recognised as the luna and theos mother was in the kitchen flipping pancakes besides Grace.

She grinned sheepishly at me when we entered and said nothing as she placed the large stack of pancakes in front of me that I had ever seen.

I let out a slight gasp and they all chuckled as my eyes went wide.

I watched as Theo made his way through my pancakes, moving my fork around every now and again so it looked as if I was eating. He turned to look at me before bringing a forkful to my mouth but I quickly shook my head.

Worry crossed his face

"Bree you need to eat, you haven't eaten a bite since you go here."

He looked at me with puppy dog eyes and my heart melted before I graciously took the fork off of him and slowly nibbled on the bit of pancake upon it.

He seemed pleased with himself as he watched me make my way through half the pancake a wolf ish grin on his gorgeous defined smouldering face.

Did I just say that?

I deeply blushed, my cheeks feeling as if they were on fire. He smirked back at me before stating,

"what are you thinking about hun?"

My cheeks got redder, if that was even humanely possible. Grace stood behind him wiggling her eyebrows at me which caused me to fall into a fit of giggles.

...

I sat silently staring at grace and Jennifer as they pulled out thousands of different dresses.

Shopping. Yes I, Bree amelia cerisola, was shopping.

The two women giggled before looking at me mischievously and whispering in one another's ear.

Grace dragged me by my arm pulling me up and shoving me into a changing room before throwing a dress over insisting I get changed.

I groaned but slipped it on, knowing full well she would not let me out unless I was in that dress. To be fair it was a stunning dress.

Its white fabric was layered with lace, that flowed down to just above my knee. It was tight fitting and had mid length laced sleeves. It was gorgeous but that was the problem, it looked horrible on me.

I walked out, conscious of every flaw on my body as they started at me their eyes wide.

"You look amazing bree.." Jennifer (Theo's mum) expressed in an exasperated voice.

I blushed, before turning to Grace looking for her approval. She nodded in agreement with Jennifer before gasping,

"It will be perfect for your birthday next week!!"

I looked at her, shocked, wondering how she knew when my birthday was. Understanding my confusion she simply muttered, "school records." before shoving me back into the changing rooms.

I let out a giggle before changing once again, I was starting to like this new life, this new family.
