Chapter Nineteen

Something soft tickles my face. Sebastian’s silky hair. I smile and scoot closer to snuggle up to him, but I end up crashing to the floor. The soft thing knocks into my face. Opening my eyes, I find the bed empty and Teddy lying next to me on the floor. It wasn’t Sebastian’s hair, but Teddy, who fell asleep between us.

Sebastian must be in the bathroom. I get up and am about to climb back into bed for another hour of sleep, when I notice the bathroom door is open.

“Sebastian?” I say as I head toward it. He’s not inside. I check the kitchen and living room, but there’s no sign of my genie. Did he step out?

I bought him a phone yesterday. Returning to my room, I grab my phone and dial his number. Ringing sounds from under his pillow. I lift it and find his phone there. Did he go out and forgot to take it with him?

In the corner of my eye, I see something on my night table. A lamp. A genie’s lamp. A lamp that looks exactly like Sebastian’s.

What would his lamp be doing here? I must be dreaming. Rubbing my eyes doesn’t help. The golden lamp is still there. Did Sebastian buy it from the mall yesterday? That can’t be. He would have told me about it, wouldn’t he?

“Sebastian?” I call.

My insides churn as a thought hits me. Sebastian isn’t here, but his lamp is. Slowly, hesitantly, I take it off the night table and examine it. Swirly designs run across it, identical to the designs that were on Sebastian’s lamp. Oh my…no. No! Don’t tell me he’s…no, I won’t believe it. I can’t. He went out and will return soon. I know he did.

“Sebastian!” I shout, so loud I can almost feel the walls shaking. “Please, Sebastian,” I whisper.

I study the designs some more, forcing myself to find something—anything—different from his old lamp. There’s nothing.

Suddenly, the lamp starts to shake in my hands. Thick smoke shoots out of it, filling up the entire room, and my lungs. I fall to the floor, dropping the lamp and coughing.

A few seconds pass before the smoke slowly evaporates from the room and my lungs, and I see a form come into view. It’s a tall guy with long black hair, a golden, naked chest, and black pants.

Sebastian.

A noise I never knew I could make leaves my mouth and I slam my hand over it, stifling a gasp.

He’s a…genie?

He’s staring down at himself with wide eyes, like he doesn’t understand what he sees. Slowly, he raises his hand, turning it to inspect it. His mouth opens and shuts, trembling.

His gaze treks to mine. He’s all dazed. Does he know who I am? Does he remember anything?

I take a step toward him. “Sebastian?”

“Lily.”

A breath I didn’t know I was holding escapes my mouth. He recognizes me. That’s one positive thing so far.

His eyebrows furrow. “What happened to me? Is this a dream?”

I wish. I move closer to him until I’m standing right in front of him.
