Fire Queen

Chapter: 18

I woke up to an empty bed, did he woke up early or left late at night? I hope I didn't cross a line by asking him to stay, but he didn't have to, it was his choice, it wasn't like I was begging him,

"Good morning Ryu" Kai entered my room, when will this girl learn to knock, "Morning"

she came and sit in front of me, "So I have talked to the cooks for the menu, and the decorators for decorations, everything is going smoothly, I will personally make sure it's perfect" she is holding a piece of paper, probably everything that needs to be done,

"Do me a favour and make sure they use white lilies in decoration" she looked up at me and smiled, knowing that is my mother's favorite flowers, suddenly she gasped "Ryuuu"

"What?" she is staring at my neck, "What happened on your neck?" shit that reminded me, Zuko happened on my neck.

I put my hand up to cover it, "It's nothing", I got out of bed, "That's a hickey" she squeals, shit here we go,

"Was Lord Zuko here last night?" she smirked, "Maybe" I replied with a smile, she literary bounce off the bed toward me, she grabs me by my arms and drag me back to the bed, making me sit,

"Tell me everything" she ordered, the papers she is holding are on the floor now, "There is nothing to tell" I tried to get up, she pulled me back down, "Ryu you are going to tell me everything right this instant" she yelled,

Jiang opened the door of my room, I covered the mark with my hair,whole world doesn't need to know, "What is happening here?" he asked, "Ryu have......" I cut Kai off,

"Nothing you know Kai is overdramatic" he nodded smiling, Kai picked and threw a pillow at him, well at least she is not mad at him anymore, "What are you doing here this early?" I asked,

Both of them froze, looking at each other, I swear when I say that Jiang's face went white, like a ghost,

I cleared my throat, making them break eye contact both of them looked at me, "I.... I was looking for you" he said, "Looking for me; for what?" I asked, "I wanted to train"

"Jiang we train in the evening because of you" this is suspicious, "I know that I was just in the mood right now, it is a lovely morning, the sun is shining" he is acting so weird,

"I will love to but everyone is probably waiting for me for breakfast," I said getting up,

"Okay" with that he left, "What's wrong with him?" I asked Kai, "How would I know, let's find you a dress that can hide that love mark"

She starts going through the dresses, "Don't think I forgot, I will make you tell me later" she said, still going through my wardrobe, making me groan,

***

I was scared the whole time during breakfast, what if anyone sees it, Kai has found me a high collared dress, that does hide the mark but if I turn my neck too much it becomes visible, I was trying to just keep my head straight,

Zuko was smirking the whole time, so this was revenge, he planned it and I fell right into it, well this is not fair, if I have one he has to have one too, justice required this, dam he seemed too proud of it too,

After breakfast, we had a meeting with a designer, he was going to bring all his best designs and we were going to pick,

"I don't really like this one," I said, standing in front of the mirror, Ursa is sitting with Katara on the sofa with Kiyi on her lap, Kai and Jun is on the cushions on the floor to the right, Ty lee and toph is sitting on the other sofa with Suki on the cushion on their left,
