Finding You

Chapter ~~12

“I knew it had to be hidden. Since you are up Navia, can I interest you in some TV?”

“No, I should get back to bed. Lucas might-”

“Wonder where you are?” Lucas finished. He was standing in the doorway where I had once stood and stared at us. Even in the dark I could tell he was mad. “Caleb you have not even been here for a day and I already regret my decision.”

“Why? I have not done anything…yet.” Another wicked smile spreads across his lips and it made me laugh. He looked up at me and his grin widened.

Lucas sighed. “Navia do not encourage him. Come back to bed, you need sleep.”

“Goodnight Caleb” I said as I left. He bowed his head and then watched us leave.

Lucas took my hand and led me upstairs. Back in bed Lucas was grumpy. He just wanted to sleep but I was awake. Lucas growled at me to go to sleep and then he turned around. I snuggled up to his back and I put one hand on his stomach. “Navia go to sleep.” I rubbed his stomach and he turned around. He kissed me and it was like he took all the air from my body. He ended the kiss and my breathing had picked up. He gave me one more kiss. “Sleep” he whispered. I smiled and closed my eyes.

The next day I woke up and Lucas wasn’t in the bed. I got up and the room was empty. I didn’t think too much and I got in the shower. After I was dressed I went down stairs and Caleb was still in the living room. I smiled at him as I passed and he nodded. I went into the kitchen and only the chef was in there. I asked if he could make me a smoothie. He said he would and I went back to the living room.

“Do you know where Lucas is?” Caleb pointed behind me. I turned around and no one was there. I spun back around and Caleb had a big smile on his face.

“I am just messing with you. Lucas is in his study. He said to tell you if you asked.” The chef came out and handed me a light pink drink. I thanked him and then turned back to Caleb. I took a sip and it was really good. “What do you have there?”

“It’s a smoothie. Do you want to try it?”

“I am up for anything.” I went over to him and handed him the smoothie.  He took a small sip. He gaged and looked at it. “This is terrible.” He coughed. “Here, I know what will make this better.” He took out a flask from his pocket and poured something in it.

“Hey” I said “I’m the one that has to drink this.” I took it from him and looked at the smoothie. It didn’t look any different.

“I just improved it. Go ahead take a sip.” I look at him unsure. “Go on I promise you will love it.” Hesitantly I took a sip. I wanted to lie to him but my face lit up. It was delicious. It was sweeter, and my tongue was tingling.

“This is great. What did you put in it?” I asked. Caleb laughed and held his hand out. I handed him the smoothie. He took another sip and his face cringed.

“Ugh, how do you like this, it is so weak.” He poured some more into my drink and it was up to the top. He took a sip and he nodded in approval. “Now that is good.”

He handed me back the glass. I took a sip and the flavor exploded in my mouth. My mouth was watering. It was sweet and tangy and somehow even a little spicy. I took a big gulp and my whole mouth was in heaven. I finished the glass and Caleb laughed.

“Seriously what did you put in that?” My head started to get fuzzy and I felt light headed. I dropped the glass and I held my head. I heard a door slam, and Caleb’s smile vanished. Lucas was behind me in a second. He put his hand on my waist and he brought his head to mine. I thought he was going to kiss me but he just smelled my lips.
