The Wings On My Back

Chapter 3

  The first nine hours were nothing but binge watching Netflix, Twenty-One Pilots, and sleep. Fun, I know.

Finally, the car comes to a stop. I stare at the neon sign on the wall of the building. I'm guessing its some sort of taco place-you know, cause its called 'Taco' Bell. Though I don't really get the 'Bell' part.

"Taco bell. Hm sounds about right."

We get out of the truck and head in the purple colored place. Its pretty hard to concentrate when your surrounded by mortals. Though there's not a lot, its still more than I've ever been around.

"You know what I'm not that hungry now that I think about it."

I turn and head for the door before mom grabs my arm.

"Soon you'll be going to school with a lot more morta- people than this. You have to get used to it."

She gave me that look that said, ' obey me or your on your own.' And as the good, listing child that I am- LOL not-I walk to the counter with mom and Ember.
We order four tacos and a nacho for Ember, me and mom get two tacos each.

As I stuff the taco in my face, I look up and see a guy staring at me. A cute guy. I instantly stop eating my taco and set it down.

"I-I'm full."

I was not in fact full.

"I, um, want to save it for the road though."

I put on my best fake smile and mom went to get a bag for my second taco. So, I took the chance and smile back at the dude. I have no words to explain how cute this guy is to you. He has awesome dark blue eyes and this gorgeous dirty blond hair. Ugh so cute.
And then he stands up.
And walks.
In my direction.
No.
He reaches my table, looks at me and my four-year-old sister,and smiles. For obvious proposes let's just all him blue eyes. He pulls out a little pink stuffed bunny. What? Let me just tell you his voice melts you insides.(That's a good thing.)  

"Here, she said she loves your hair and wants to be your best friend if that's OK."

Ohmygod. He gets on a knee and holds the bunny to Ember like its a literal child.

"I need you to take vary good care of her. Can you do that for me?"

Ember gives a shy nod.

"Good. Her name is Snuggles. You know why?"

"Why?" I can hardly hear her she's so quiet.

"Because, she loves to snuggle."

He puts Snuggles in Embers arms and turns to me. Did I mention his blue eyes? He stretches his hand out for a hand shake.

"I'm Lleam"

I shake his hand back and love how he says his name.

"Scar-"

And then my mom steps in and we all know how that always goes. With shock in her eyes, she clears her throat.

"Scarlet, honey, who's this?"

"Um, mom this is Lleam. He gave Ember a pink bunny to take care of."

Thank god Ember cut in or she would have broke into one of her 'I don't believe you' glares.

"Yea! Mommy look! Her name is Snuggles! She told him she likes my hair and wants to be my best friend!
Isn't she soft mommy?"

Mom put her hand on Snuggles and a smile spread across her face. I love it when the universe doesn't completely hate me. Its awesome.

"Ma'am, do you have a pen I can use for a sec?"

I'm starting to think the only reason he came over here was for a pen. Lovely.

"Uh, I think so-yea. Here you go."

He takes a napkin and writes some numbers on it. Why would he write some num-wait. Oh.
He hands me the napkin that has his name and phone number on it.

"If Snuggles or you ever need anything, give me a call. And your name was..."

"Scarlet. My name is Scarlet."

He smiles and walks back to his table ware some other guys are. They all start to laugh and his cheeks turn rose pink. *sigh
I look at my mom and sister and they're both smiling at me. Oh gods.

"What?"

Being the odd woman/mother that she is, she starts to wiggle her eyebrows. And now, I'm blushing too.

"OK yes, he's cute. But it's not like I'll ever see him again. So its not a big deal."

"Hay you never know, he could be in your school or something."

We pick up our trash and get back on the road. Seven more hours to go. Wile Ember plays with Snuggles I text the number Lleam gave me.
He replies almost as if he was waiting on it. We talked for about an hour before I fell asleep.

°°°°°°°°

One more hour and we'll get to the new house. One more hour and our lives will reset. And I'm kind of exited. Who am I kidding, I can't wait! Wow that was pretty childish.

After talking to Lleam for another 30 minutes we stop at some crazy mortal infested store called Wal-Mart. Anyways, we buy a bunch of food and stuff like toilet paper, plates, towels, napkins, and cups, and head out for the last 30 minutes of our trip.

"OK guys, were in the neighborhood!"

The neighborhood was chosen by the queen, well, the used-to-be queen. She chose a vary nice neighborhood and gave us a bunch of money to buy our wants and needs. So we're basically rich, and she said to send us like three thousand dollars every other month. Its awesome.
We finally reach the house a few minutes later. Its the prettiest house I have ever seen. Its two story with a fountain and a garage and everything. And that's only the outside. I get my suit case of clothes and head to the door.

"Can I unlock it?"

Mom hands me the key.

"Of course."

I take the cold metal key and unlock the wooden, glass door. It unlocks and I push it open. The inside is beautiful. There is wood floors and white walls. The living room is huge with sliding glass doors that lead to a lifted porch. I run up the stairs and open the first door I see. Just a closet. I open the second one. A room, but to small to be mine. The third one. Bathroom, a vary big bathroom. As I open the forth and final room, I gasp. It has wood floors, white walls,-like the living room-and two giant windows arched at the top to fit the pointed ceiling.

"I totally call this room!" I shout from the room

"OK, but the bathrooms connected to your sisters room!"

"That's fine with me!"

The queen had the house furnished before we moved in, so I already had a bed, a dresser, and a mirror.
I put the clothes that were in the suit case in the dresser and the closet, and head down stairs to help unpack.

Mom said that we'll un pack tomorrow, so I eat and fall asleep on my extremely comfortable bed in my extremely awesome room.
