Metamorphasis

CHAPTER 64

He hears the water beginning to pour down and I hear him walk away with a chuckle...I smile. I pour some watermelon shampoo unto my hair and gently massage it all over my scalp before washing it off under the water. Then pouring a generous amount of strawberry/melon conditioner all over my hair and slowly spreading it from the roots of my hair to its tips.

When I was done I got out from under the water and carefully wrapped a long towel around my body before stepping into my now empty room. I sat down in front of my big vanity mirror and took out my laptop placing it in front of me. I logged in and went straight to the school own social media network as well as facebook, and twitter. In all three of the sites I posted the same message.

"MASQUERADE PARTY TONIGHT AT 7:30
LOCATION: 2832 ROBINSON LANE EVERYONE IS INVITED!!!
COSTUME OF YOUR CHOICE REQUIRED MASKS WILL BE GIVEN FOR THOSE WITHOUT"

I smiled then slowly raised my finger before bringing it down instantly posting the announcement all over the local network. It was early but a lot of people were bound to be online. Now-a-days everyone lived through the net. I pressed play on my music playlist and danced to rhytime as I looked through my closet for something to wear. I ended up choosing some ripped jeans and a logo tee with tennis shoes.

I checked the sites just to see if anyone had seen the annoucement yet...they had. In mere minutes the online community was all the buzz about the party at the new peoples place but also because it conflicted with Alecia's anual pre-school party. I had an attendee list online where people could see who was attending so far and everytime I looked at it someone new confirmed there attendace. Sure that didn't mean they would actually show up but once people saw the popular kids were going a lot more followed.

I went down stairs and into the garage to unload all the shopping from yesterday. It took a few minutes but eventually I got all the clothes including my costume up to my room. The movers had already delivered our things from alaska and luckyly everything was already in place except for mine which were just piled up in the third floor.

I got around to placing all the small decor I had bought yesterday all around the house and waited for the delivery of the bigger pieces. The house was a beautiful shade of gothic colors inside with dark reds, deep purples and silver accents gave it an aura of mystery. The house was very modern and from the outside you wouldn't guess how the inside looked at all.

The outside was crispy white with red accents on the windows and doors the front yard even had a white picket fence with two or three scattered apple trees. The shrubbery was well maintained as well as the crisp green grass soon to be littered with the party goers trash. The backyard had a second pool besides the pool on the second floor with a couple of bird baths and statues on the corner with high hedges limiting the view to prying eyes.

I had gotten next day express delivery so as expected the delivery truck showed up promptly at eight thirty. I once again put on my black skull hoodie to greet the delivery people who took everything inside. Several decoritive trees and additional furniture. It wasn't a lot but as little a delivery as it was it wouldn't have been possible to bring it home inside a sports car. I gave everyone directions of where the things went and everything went by smoothly.

I signed the delivery papers before they departed and turned inside to see the house that had only minutes before seemed void of actually personality now seemed to ressemble an actual home. The brightly decorative accents popped next to the rich dark colors of the walls. "It looks awesome babe." Nathans whispers in my ear and kisses my cheek before pulling into the kitchen for a late breakfast.

Casey's POV

It was a busy morning with Lilly bustling around the house trying to decorate it as fast as possible. We were happy to help as much as we could except for my sister Ashley who faked a smile in front of everyone but I knew she was far from happy. But I didn't even need to ask her why she was faking it. It all came back to her stuberness in refusing to accept Daniel as her mate.

She didn't want to tell him her story and it wasn't up to me to expose her. She was afraid that he'd reject her if she told him her whole story. When she said that I felt like she was hidding something from me so I asked her. She quickly changed the topic and reassured me that I knew everything about her but somehow I didn't think I did anymore. She was hiding something from me and I resented the fact that she didn't trust me enough to tell me.

I sat down next to the pool in my shorts and cut off tee took off my shoes before dipping my feet into the cool pool water. "Something on your mind?" Someone asks me and I turn around to see Brad walking towards me. The moment my eyes landed on him I felt my heart begin to race and my palms grew sweety. I knew I liked him and even though I wished he was my mate but he wasn't. Not everyone of our kind found there chosen mate. Some just fell in love without that irressitable pull that mates shared. For those couples that didn't have the instant connection it took work and time to form it.

"Casey...Casey...Casey." I vaguely heard a voice calling my name but my mind was elsewhere lost in thought. I felt someone touch my shoulder and on instinct I reacted quickly grabbing the hand on my shoulder and flipping them over before pinning them on the ground. "Ow." He yelps with no true pain but still I pulled back embarrased. I lower my hand to his and help him up.

He laughs when he sees my face and for a second I feel offended, "Casey you look so worried relax." He tells me and I burst out laughing from nervousness. I punch him playfully and he laughs with me before sitting down next to the pool with me. "I'm sorry 'bout pinning you. I just reacted without thinking its a reflex from..." I don't finish my sentence. "From training I'm assuming." He tells me and I don't correct him instead I just smile.

He doesn't need to know my truth that the reason I tend to react so dramaticlly to a persons touch is the fact that my youth was plagued with horrible memories of men. Men who thought I could be coerced into submission. They never got to me but it had been ingrained in me to hit first and ask questions later. It was just self preservation on my part.

We sat there not saying a word with our feet in the pool but no words were needed. Our feet grew wrinkly and pruny as time went by until finally we just stepped out of the water and dried our feet before putting on our shoes. "Do you have a costume already?" he asks me and I nod. "Yeah, I'm going to wear a bright pink ball gown with matching heels." I tell him as he turns away from me as he tries to hide his laughter.

"I happen to love pink you know." I tell him as I stick my tongue out at him and he bursts up laughing at me openly so I punch his arm. "Don't laugh at me. What are you going as?" I ask him. "Black buisiness suit, deep purple dress shirt and matching tie." He tells me confidently. It does actually sound good and on him they'd look better.

We walk into the kitchen and I start making us some triple decker turkey sandwiches while he pours us some juice. I place the sandwiches on individual plates and hand him one. In return he hands me a glass with cold juice and we chat while we eat. "Mmm you sure know how to make a good sandwich." He compliments me and I can't help but blush. It wasn't a big deal but it still made me feel good.
