Packing

"You know he seems very nice" Grams was sitting at the edge of my bed folding my shirts and placing them in my duffle bag.

I was currently grabbing my jeans from the top drawer of my dresser "Who?" I asked.

Since I didn't know how long I'm going to be gone I'm taking just enough clothes that'll last me two weeks, so if I need any more I can just wash them while I'm there. I'll be staying in a castle so they should have a laundromat or something.

"That Emerson fellow, he's very handsome" her tone was indifferent as she placed the shirt in the bag and grabbed another one. "If you guys got married you'd have some beautiful babies. They'd have your silver eyes of course but I hope the boys have his features"

"Grandma!" clearly she didn't see how ludicrous that sounded, I only just met the guy and I didn't have any affection towards him at all. His character is still a complete mystery to me and I'm skeptical of him, he was there that night when the werewolves attacked, and to make things even more awkward I almost killed him a few hours ago.

"What? I'm just stating the obvious" She winked at me and I rolled my eyes

"You do realize that I only just met him" I handed her another pair of pants and she scoffed

"So" the unconcern in her just made the discussion even more absurd

"Well, you don't just marry someone you just met and decide to have babies" I want a relationship where the feelings are mutual towards each other, where you marry your other half, your best friend....

"Like how you're in love with Kaiden"

"Exactly" I confirmed .......wait......what?

I whipped my head over to her with my mouth hanging open. Did I just openly confess how I feel about Kaiden?

Regaining my composure I faced her but there was a slight blush on my cheeks "um..how..-how did" I pathetically muttered out, my voice failing me.

She sighed and raised an eyebrow at me with a disbelieving stare. "I may be old, but I'm not blind" 

Was I that obvious? I wanted to keep it a secret and I thought I was acting normal. After all, I tried everything to make him notice me but not let other people know how I felt about him.

"And, before you ask I believe Kaiden feels the same way about you" I felt like my heart skip a beat and my stomach felt like a zoo right now. "But honey, I don't think that Kaiden is the right match for you"

My body froze at her words. I couldn't believe what she saying, Kaiden has been there for me ever since I can remember. He was there when Lizzy Bernaduck was bullying me at the playground and he put dirt in her hair, he was there when my grandfather died, and he was there when I became a Master. How can he not be the one?

Gently taking the shorts from the second drawer I walked over to her and placed them in the duffle bag completely ignoring her statement. "It's not like I don't approve of Kaiden, but I feel like Emerson is..."

"Grandma don't say it" I clenched my teeth together and laid my hands on the clothes avoiding her eyes.

"I believe he might be your Fated" I shook my head 

"No, he's not, Kaiden is my Fated, he's my comfort, my safety net... he's what I'd be glad to call my husband!" I retorted back at her, annoyance clearly on my face.

"Why do you think that?" she crossed her arms giving me a quizzical look. Her silver eyes confidently asking me.

"Because I've known Kaiden my whole entire life" I huffed out a breath. Is she really asking me this?
