Secret Love (Secret Circle Fan Fiction)

Chapter 12

Time froze, like actually stopped. Or at least I wished it did, and I miraculously had a universal remote with the ability to reverse time. Faye stood with her hands on her hips and a smug smile tugging at her lips.

"I don't understand why you had to pack so many shoes, Faye." Melissa's voice rang through the room as she entered holding a large duffle bag. "We are on the lamb, not heading towards a Miss. Universe convention." She turned to look at Faye, and as her brows furrowed she turned to look and Jake and I...who were still awfully close. I slipped out of his arms heading over to give Melissa a hug.

"I'm so glad that you got here safely." I said, as I circled my arms around her.

"Yeah, looks like we got here just in time." Faye said looking Jake up and down. Maybe if I refused to acknowledge what she just walked in on, then maybe I could pretend it never happened. Adam came into the room, running a hand through his messy hair.

"Hey." He said with a smile greeting Faye and Melissa, as he wrapped his arms around my waist drawing me to his chest. Faye's smirk grew wider. Fudge-muffin!

...

"You were up early." Adam said as he kissed me softly on the cheek. We had just spent the last half hour catching Melissa and Faye up on our next course of action, which at the moment was nothing concrete. They swore that they hadn't been followed, taking extra care when stopping for petrol and snacks to not be picked up on any cameras. Who knew how far the witch hunters webs would reach.

"Couldn't sleep." I murmured, as I lent my head against his warm chest.

"Well maybe we could do something later that would ensure you are extremely tired after." I strained my neck to look at him, with a smile on my face.

"mmm, what did you have in mind?" Adam lent his head, hovering over my lips.

"I'll show you a little now" he whispered against my lips.

"Please no sex talk in the kitchen." Diana waltzed in, placing some bread in the toaster. "Some of us have to eat."

"Exactly. Gosh you two! The kitchen is incredibly unsanitary to do the nasty in." Faye smirked as she sat down at the counter. I needed to talk to her, but not until I had spoken to Jake. Who was surprisingly absent from the mornings activities.

"Like you are picky when it comes to where." Jake's voice called from the bedroom.

"Stop it!" Melissa yelled a little too loudly as she placed her coffee cup in the sink. "I have had to listen to Faye's not so indiscreet sex capades for days now. No more, never again." She said as she shook her head, letting her brown hair fall into her eyes. "Or I swear i'll never be able to eat meat again."

"OH ewwwww, Faye!" Diana scowled at her. She just shrugged.

"Well i'm bored, whats there to do around here besides gather dust?" Faye looked around the room, frowning at its dullness.

"I think that we should maybe strategize, we have to go back to Chance Harbour. Cassie's dad might hold the answers." Adam added, as he wrapped an arm around my waist. Jake walked into the room, his hair still damp from his shower. He gaze wandered over me, landing on Adam's hand. His face went blank.

"Orrrrrr" Faye stood with a wide grin, reaching into her bag "We could play truth or dare...with tequila?"

"Its not even noon yet, and we have to go and get firewood. Let alone figure out what we are going to be eating tonight. And I think Adam is right, maybe a strategy isn't the worst thing to have right now." Diana said with a sigh.

"Ok." Faye clasped her hands together, and placed them under her chin. "What about...Melissa and Jake go and get firewood. Diana you and Cassie go and find some food, and Adam and I will strategize?" I couldn't deal with leaving Adam and Faye alone, it wouldn't take much for her to slip up and tell him what she had saw, or was about to see.
