Chapter 54

Lucinda's POV

I sat on the porch steps of the Xortis Lakehouse - well more like miny mansion - and watched the boys remove everything I brought from the trunk along with our bags.

The Lakehouse was so big we each had our own rooms with an en suité bathroom. Vic, Lisa and our happy couple had arrived and hour before us and now we were just waiting for Lynn and Donny to get here.

I got up off the steps and left the arguing men and went to the kitchen where I found Lisa preparing some bun. I walked over and helped her with the rest of the preparations. Matty had gone to the grocery store with Dee to restock the fridge and pantry because it was completely void of food.

On what to eat for dinner, we decided that having a barbecue would be nice. After the boys finally got everything in the house the started on a fire in the grill.

Dee and Matty walked into the house with heaps of plastic bags of food and ice. I got a cooler box and filled it with the ice and put in a majority of beers.

"Ooo... Beer."

I scoffed and rolled my eyes.

"You can't get drunk Dami..."

He smirked and pulled a phial out of his pocket that glowed in a neon blue color. No fucking way...

"Where did you get that?"

He lifted his finger up to his lips and said sshh. I understand why though... Those are the Tears of a Poltergeist. They're an extremely rare substance found in the hell that is able to make supernaturals drunk or high.

Obtaining them is very hard since catching a poltergeist is a difficult task, you know, once you get past the screaming and random objects being throw at you. And then proceeding to make it cry.

"Paid a pretty penny for this stuff Mea Regina."

He poured half the phial in the cooler box and it turned neon blue before a loud shrill scream was let out before disappearing and returning to its normal color.

Chase ran into the room looking around frantically before his eyes landed on me and he relaxed.

"What happened? I heard a scream."

Shit.

I forgot humans could hear it. So like any person trying to hide something I lied.

"Dami saw a spider."

He looked at me accusingly and I shrugged. Chase chuckled and walked out of the room but grabbed three beers on the way out. As soon as he out of hearing shot Dami wacked me in the arm.

"Oww..."

I rubbed my arms while pouting.

"That's for embarrassing me."

I laughed when he started pouting.

"But you are afraid of spiders though."

He raised his hand again and I flinched while laughing in his face. Eventually I stopped and worry replaced my face.

"It won't like affect them in negative way will it?"

"Nah... The Tears of a Poltergeist only work on supernaturals. To them it'll be like drinking a regular beer."

I nodded and let Dami carry the cooler outside. I grabbed some for me, Lisa and Dee in the kitchen. They were sitting at the marble table and I handed them beers and they thanked me.

"So... My bestie is getting married in two days. How do you feel?"

Lisa egged him on.

"Yeah Diego how do you feel?"

"Honestly this is so exciting. I never really thought I'd get married anytime soon but I knew the time was right.".

Me and Lisa cooed and Dee blushed and looked down before taking a sip of his beer. I did the same and savored the burn of it going down my throat and the warm feeling it gave afterwards.

"So have you-"

"Your Queen has arrived!"

Lynn walked in through the door with her arms in the air. She walked and gave each us a hug - including me - which surprised me since how we last left things.

Her hug was hostile, tight and contained a silent threat so I - of course - returned the favor which seemed to surprise her but she quickly recovered.

Donny came in a greeted everyone before taking their bags upstairs and coming back down for a beer. He and I shared a silent look which illicited numerous feelings in my heart before I turned away.

What the hell was that?

Shaking it off, I got off my chair and walked onto the porch.

"Matty, I believe I was promised that we were going to a lakehouse, where is my lake?"

He chuckled and nodded to the back of the house.

"Backyard."

I smiled brightly and walker through the house all the way to the door that lead to the backyard. I opened the door and was immediately taken aback by the majestic view.

The lake shimmered in all it glory under the sunlight. Although it appeared still, the slight breeze in the air caused tiny ripples to form across the water. The water was dark but looked shallow enough to remain above water while in it.

I walker over the perfectly manicured grass over to the edge of the lake and admired the beauty of the shrubbery around it.

"It's beautiful isn't it."

I jump out my skin at the sudden realization that someone was here with me but calmed down when I saw it was just Donny.

"Don't scare me like that."

I put a hand on my chest to slow down my racing heart. Is it racing because I was scared or because Donny is here?

I dismissed the thought.

"My apologies..."

"And yes."

"What?"

"You asked if the lake was beautiful. I'm saying yes it is."

He seemed confused but then shook his head and then nodded. We both turned our attention back to the lake.

"It reminds me of my childhood home..."

I turned to look at him in astonishment.

"You have a lake at your childhood home?!"

He chuckled at my interest. He shook his head 'no' and I frowned in confusion.

"Something like that... But not quite. I'll take you there someday to see it."

I smiled.

"I look forward to it."

"Mr and Mrs Gray! Dinner is ready!"

Dami shouted from the door and walked away.

"Mr and Mrs Gray?"

Donny pointed at our hair and my mouth formed a 'O' then I laughed. I see what he did there. We walked side by side back into the house.
