Destiny

CHAPTER 11

  "So be a really good girl and do whatever he tells you, they might extend the punishment if he gives an awful report about you you know, so try not to look at his warts, or his super red blotches, or his watery eyes , or his disfigured body , or ------"

Gwen kept gabbling as they got ready for school. It was Freya's first day of punishment and it seemed Gwen was faring worse than she was, she'd been talking so much and so fast, it was a miracle Freya actually heard her

" I get it, i should look at him at all" Freya decided

"No, no , you should, he might actually find you rude if you don't" Gwen continued

Freya sighed and smiled, holding Gwen in place with her hands on her shoulders, she said
" Don't worry Gwen , everything will be fine, its okay, besides, he's actually a very handsome man , i don't see why you guys don't see it"

Gwen gave her one of the looks but said nothing
"What?! Its true" Freya defended

" Fine , fine, whatever, you need to get going now, and oh, one more thing, don't get too close, it seems his presence is starting to make you weird" Gwen ended

Freya rolled her eyes
"Stop being paranoid Gwen, i see nothing wrong with his looks now and I'm positive its going to go well, actually I'm excited"

Gwen now had the "like seriously" look on

Freya laughed and grabbed her bag
" Bye mom" she said waving as she run out.

Freya stood at the door not sure what to do, she raised her hand to knock but dropped it, she raised it again, dropped it again, finally she decided on the bell, she rang it and waited for a while but no one seemed to be coming, she turned to leave when she heard him say
" Now hold on , I'm almost there, how impatient can you be"
she heard him groan.
Then more loudly
"I'm coming"
she didn't have much time to think about the two responses when the door opened to reveal a handsome face with a warm surprised  smile
" So sorry, got caught up in something in there, almost didn't hear you" he said

"  Not to worry sir , I'm Freya, I'm kinda being punished and they asked me to come to you for it" Freya explained embarrassed

Looking at her, she heard him say
" That's weird, why'd someone ever want to punish a sweetheart like you"

She felt her cheeks flush
" Yeah i know, it was kind of a misunderstanding actually"

He looked at her strangely
" What are you talking about?" he asked

" Oh i was actually trying to answer your question, its embarrassing yeah but......" she was explaining when he cut her off

"  But i didn't say anything" he said

" Really? But i just heard you asking--- you never mind, i must really be nervous then, i cant believe I'm now hearing things" she said flustered

He smiled again
" Don't worry, and no need to be nervous. Its going to be fine, besides there's nothing really to be done here anyway" he said leading her inside.

He took her further in, then out again into what was revealed to be a greenhouse, where he grew all sorts of flowers, some she never thought she'd ever set her eyes on, and they all smelled great, the sweet fragrance was overwhelming, she looked at him amazed
He rubbed his neck nervously
" Oh its nothing really " he said shrugging as he turned away from her
"God if she doesn't stop looking at me like that I'm really going to turn into a tomato" she heard him add

" Oh I'm sorry " she apologized lowering her gaze
He now had a brow raised quizzically
" What?" he asked

"I said I'm sorry" she repeated
