Chapter Eighteen

Secret #18:  Okay…was it just my over active imagination or did things get a little awkward with Roger and I when he apologized to me?  I swear on my dead mother’s life that I didn’t even think about it until he brought it up.  Goodness, I bet I’d probably stayed up late that night thinking about why he even went there.  Oh and did Rion flirting with me as well?  Gaaah, hormonal raging human boys!

--

Both men quiet down and looked at Monique who fidgeted for a few seconds before starting to speak.  Her voice was rather soft and unsteady, but she gradually felt more at ease and her voice grew louder.

“So, it all started this afternoon when I went out to get the mail as usual.  I wasn’t really expecting anything special, but when I found the letter, I was surprised by it.  After reading it over a few times, I didn’t understand what the Queen was trying to say, so I asked Roger when he came by to talk to me.”

Tony interrupted a little when he asked, “So why are you angry at Roger?  Did he not answer the question?”

“Shhh, I’m getting there.” Monique said, giving her friend a dirty look before continuing.  “Anyways, as Roger and I talked about the letter, I had my arms around his neck in a ‘friendly’ way before Taylor and the twins came back.  Before I had time to explain myself Taylor jumped into conclusions and yelled at us.”

“Oh, so that explains why you were mad at Taylor.” The boy interjected as the girl stopped to take a breath.

Monique nodded her head slightly in agreement.  “Yeah that was partially the reason, but she also revealed that she and Percy was planning something and by ‘flirting’ with Roger, I had completely messed it up.  That was the other reason why I got angry with her and Percy as well.”

A sudden thought popped into the girl’s head when she thought over what she had said and she let out a loud gasp.  “That son of a gun!”  She growled loudly, “So that’s what they wanted.  No wonder they were pushing me away from Roger.  I still hate you Percy!” Monique yelled out of her room.  A loud sigh was heard from the twin’s room as well as a sounding thump as if someone had been smacked in the head.  Then came a loud yelp of pain.  A smile bloomed on the girl’s face.

“Thank you Rion.” She called softly.

“No problem.” The said person’s voice came from outside of the room, making her jump in surprise.

“R-Rion, what’s up?” Monique asked, surprised.

Rion shrugged his shoulders and replied, “I- I just want to apologies.  I shouldn’t have shut you out.  I was just angry that you accused me of doing something that I didn’t do.  By the way, apology accepted.”

The girl’s smile grew larger and a light blush appeared on her face.  “Thanks Rion and you didn’t have to apologize.  I kind of deserved it.  I really shouldn’t have accused you of knowing the plan anyways.” 

“So we’re okay now?” The raven-haired boy asked hopefully.  “You don’t know how hard and painful it was for me to stay angry with you.”

Monique nodded her head as the blush grew.  “Yeah, things are good now.”

Rion gave her a dazzling grin and then said with a wink, “Cool, good night then.  I hope you'll dream of some green-eyed prince tonight." 

Turning to Wayne and Tony, Rion added, "Good night you too, Mr. Chang and Tony.”  He then exited out of the room and disappeared to his own bedroom.
