“Ari’s Angel!”
Chapter 24
Okay, so this is Awkward!
“Excuse me?” He asked in one of the calmest voices I had ever heard spoken. In fact, I found the only reaction to this was to repeat my obvious blunder,
“You’re Ari’s Angel.” As soon as I said it I wanted to smack myself. He gave me a confused look, which I had to admit wasn’t as frowny as it could have been considering what I had just blurted out at him for the second time.
“Am I?” He asked obviously trying to contain the smirk that we both knew was lingering there on the surface.
“I’m sorry, let me try that again…I’m Katie.” I said after shaking my head and walking over to him to shake his hand.
“I know who you are, darling.” He said taking my hand in his and this time letting that smirk show. Once again the urge to smack myself reared its punishing head. Of course he knew who I was, for a start he had already said my name and after all he was here right now no doubt sent by Draven to fetch me.
“Of course you do.” I rolled my eyes at myself and he laughed.
“It’s good to see you again.” I knew he said this only because he felt like he needed to say it for his own benefit, as he must have known I had no memory of him. Well of course apart from dreaming of him in that shameful way with Ari that one time, but I definitely think that was better left unsaid…for like all of eternity!
He raised an eyebrow at me as if he was trying to figure something out and I realised it was probably why I was just stood here not saying anything.
“So I take it Draven is ready for me?” I said trying to prompt something from him as the way he looked at me now was starting to freak me out.
“Yes, my brother is waiting for us.” He informed me after coming out of his dazed state…but wait, did he just say what I think he did?
“Your brother!? Draven’s your brother?” I asked again in obvious surprise.
“Dominic is my brother, yes. I am Vincent Draven and I believe you have met our sister Sophia.” He told me smiling and I don’t know what it was about it but there was something so calming about him. The soft way he spoke and the reassuring way in which he said everything was so bewitching. He drew you in to feeling safe and trusting.
“But you don’t look anything alike!” I found once again my brain and mouth weren’t working together as I blurted this out. Thankfully he just chuckled and said,
“Yes, we are different in many ways. I have been told that I favour my mother’s side of the family.”
“Ah, like me and Ari, we take after our dad…thankfully.” I added thinking back bitterly to the wicked witch of the Colony!
“And this Ari…she is your sister?” He asked and I couldn’t help blush knowing what I had shouted out when he first entered the room.
