The Couple

Celia

After finally finding the person who can help us, I started thinking of a way to meet her. Witnessing my condition, my parents won’t let me leave this house without them. And talking to her in their presence is not an option. Also, I can’t ask her how to get rid of my parents in front of them. Although I love them and the thought of living with them excites me, but they want to take me back and I don’t want to leave Chris.

Unless, he refuses to take me back and I am left with no other option but to leave this to town.

I wonder if he will still burn down the whole world if I leave this town. Or was it just because we were seeing each other back then. Should I try this? Well, maybe. I mean he said it himself that he will go to every extent to make me stay here. Maybe if he saw me leaving he would take me back and also convince my parents to let me stay without scaring them with his wolf, obviously.

No, I can't trust him. He eventually threatened me with his wolf when he warned me. I can’t take the risk.

I will go with the plan to talk to Selena and explain her the whole situation and ask for her help. I just hope she has a solution to atleast one problem.

But right now, we need to find an answer to how to talk to her. When Selena and Robert retired from their family responsibilities, they not only gave up the house but also the connections to the world which includes cell phones.

I always wondered how Chris or Ethan informed them of anything. It must be tedious to drive the whole way to their cottage nearby forest just to invite them for family gatherings or inform them of small things. But now I know they just mind link with them. It is even more simple than connecting them through calls.

Jeanne suggested she go down to their cottage and make a video call to me, so I can join their conversation and talk to Selena. But I refused as I wanted her personally. I don’t know why I insist on meeting her personally but that’s how it is now.

We both came out of my room together and pushed each other forward in front of my parents. We both are nervous like teenage girls who need to get permission from their parents for a late night party or a night stayover.

As soon as we reached there my parents on my couch sitting too close to each other, looked up to us.

“Are you hungry, again? Because I am. Honey...” Mom turned to face dad and pouted silently. I shook my head at her act. I have seen my dad cooking delicious food and mom stuffing it all without gaining any pounds. I wonder how she maintains herself with so much eating. Not that I refuse her to eat but how?

“No mom. We’re not hungry.” I frowned and replied even before dad could reply to her or get up to cook something for us.

“Then, what is it really sweetie?” Now, we got their attention as they sat up right and looked at us cautiously.

“Umm… Mom” I glanced back and forth between them and Jeanne before I continued. “Dad, we want to go shopping and for lunch tomorrow. I really want to go out right now. Can we go?”

“Sure, princess. Tell me where you want to go. We will go there.” There you go. I knew it was going to be hard.

“No, dad I meant me, Jeanne and Mary. I want a girls day out.”

“Well, it works fine. Make a list. We will do everything you want before we leave here. It is a girls day out.” This time mom spoke as she gave dad an assuring look. And dad sighed nodding his head.

“No mom. I just want us girls. Not you or dad babysitting me.” I screamed which angered my mom.

“Lower your voice, young lady. And we’re here to babysit you because you can’t take care of yourself as you promised before.” Now, mom is standing and we both are at the same level staring at each other directly. I surely got her stubbornness.

“I think I should take a leave now.”
