Life in Hell:

Chapter 7:

C A D Y

I took up the seat beside Sam, Bella on his other side. Chrissy and Jax sat in front of us, Severus with them.

I looked around the café. It was pretty neat, and cozy.

The walls were a soft pink color, with bunches of baby blue and lilac butterflies here and there. Fairy lights hung on the walls and from the ceiling, casting an eerie, yet beautiful glow in the café. There wasn't any space for light to enter from outside in the seating area. The tables were a beautiful scarlet color, with the chairs a contrasting grey. The whole place was air conditioned. It was just... wow.

"Knew you'd love it," Sam leaned down and whispered in my ear, and for some weird reason, it sent shivers down my body.

Okay, how the hell did he just guess what I was feeling!?

Really, Cady, this was Sam, he probably had some sort of secret mind-reading power.

"We come to this place a lot," Chrissy's voice rang through the quiet place.

Jax snorted, "The employees know us by names by now."

As if on cue, a young woman holding a notepad came towards them, wearing a uniform, or so I guessed. It consisted of a sleevless white blouse with frills at the edges, a green pleated skirt that came down to her knees, and black flats. What really stood out was the glitter.... and the fairy wings. Her shoes were glittery, her skirt had a glittered trim, and the semi-transculent fairy wings strapped to her back had a lot of glitter.

"Sam, Chrissy, Jax!" She chirped, as if she knew them by heart, "Wonderful to see you again."

"Faye, you act as if we don't come every two days." Sam remarked, leaning back into the chair.

She rolled her eyes at him, surprising me at how they acted so casual around each other, "Sam, ever the smug ass."

"Faye!" Bella cried, reaching out her arms towards the auburn haired woman.

"Bella, Severus, how are my two little fairies?" She asked, gently flicking the young girl's nose.

"I'm a fairy too," Chrissy huffed, crossing her arms. Sam coughed pointedly.

"I'm sorry, what? I'd consider you a fairy fit to join LEPRecon, not a gentle fairy who'd live in Pixie Hollow, like Bella and Severus."

She reached over and drove her fist into his stomach, and he doubled over with an 'oof!'

I couldn't help myself and giggled. I gave Chrissy a thumbs up, and she smirked in answer.

And I had thought him undefeatable. Thought that no one could ever oppose him, but then, boom! Life showed me that I was wrong, once again, by making me meet Chrissy, Jax, Severus, and Bella.

"Women," He muttered under his breath, and I had an urge to elbow him in the ribs, but I decided to spare the poor guy.

"I see you've brought a new friend," She said, bending down to my eye level, "Who might you be, lovely lady?"

I felt my face heat up as she called me lovely.

"I'm Cady," I whispered.

Yeah, she sure as hell is.

"She's Sam's fiancée, " Jax offered.

"I was wondering when that one girl would come for him," Faye smirked at me and Cherry.

"It's not like that..." Cherry mumbled, toying with a strand of her hair.
