Aurora woke up around an hour later. She got out of bed, chasing the aroma that led her to the kitchen.
"lemongrass chicken, Your future favourite Mademoiselle."Aurora smiled and helped him set up the plates on the balcony. Phoenix shook his head still not believing how proper she was about everything. Anyone else her age never would have bothered to eat like they were in a five-star restaurant.
"This is really tasty, Phoenix. I buy lemongrass for my tea only."Aurora said after breakfast. Phoenix led her to the couch wanting to spend more time with her before he left for the practice. Coach has made it clear that he will make them practice hard for tomorrow's match.
"You and your love for the tea."Phoenix rolled his eyes. "...by the way. Why is the door to the Chamber of Secrets open."He asked, crossing his fingers that she might say that it was nothing and he didn't actually find something about her he had no right knowing to, Again. If she tells him, then he will also confess snooping around.
"What...???"
"That room that is always closed."Aurora laughed at his description of the room.
"It's an extra room. I bought the bed for me but couldn't...couldn't get any sleep on that..."She had a sad look in her eyes and Phoenix wanted to punch himself for asking "... So I had my old bed delivered here."It was a king-sized bed that covered half of the area. Phoenix nodded before he could ask any more questions that might upset her further.
"Dammit..."Aurora's eyes widened. "....Tori is coming tomorrow, She will be staying here with me that's why I cleaned the room."
"And when was Tori's new BFF planning to tell her brother." he taunted.
"Oh shut up. I wanted to tell you but we were so busy this week and yesterday with Ricky. He will be.."
"Dad will tell me first thing. He is with his family and I will go see him after the match he hasn't seen his family in a... He has always been there when I needed him. but Tori is coming and I can't ask her to travel overnight..."
"Tori, she will be devast... I mean we made plans to go trekking the mountain but not now obviously."
"When will her flight arrive."
"She said your father has arranged a chauffeur for her, He'll pick her up. And When she comes I will tell her myself okay."Aurora was afraid of Tori's reaction, Phoenix needed to know about them but not like this. Not now. Phoenix's father might not tell Tori about Phoenix's friend's physical injury. So it has to be her.
