Chapter 59

Lucinda's POV

I paced up and down the small patch of grass in front of the picnic bench near the lake. Dami sat lazily staring at the water while I was freaking out inside.

"So what did you wanna talk about?"

"I can't talk about it..."

"Then why did you bring me out here then?"

"Because I need someone to talk about it to!"

"Okay then. Mea Regina just calm down, take deep breaths and try to collect your mind."

I did as he said and found myself calming down. After letting out a huge sigh I finally said something.

"I'm confused."

He furrowed his brows at my sudden statement but gesture for me to go on.

"I'm not even sure where to begin..."

"I don't suppose this is about a certain extra who's caught your eye."

"This is so not about Donavan..."

"Ah, but you see I didn't mention his name."

I look up at him and frowned and he smirked then shrugged.

"How did you know?"

"I've seen the way you two are with each other. But I never really wanted to say anything since we've been with the Rex the entire time."

"What does he have to do with anything?"

"He does see you as his future Regina but you know I'm always on your side."

I bit my lip. What does this mean for me? For Chase? For everyone?

"Do you like him?"

My eyes widened in shock.

"I mean, I'm not sure. I feel something I know it's there, I'm just not quite sure what it's is though."

He leaned into my ear.

"Maybe it's desire... Or lust."

I gasped and smacked him in the chest he just cackled away like some witch, clearly enjoying my misery.

"Dami!"

"What? You haven't gotten laid in forever!"

I groaned and put my hands on my face in embarrassment. Why do I tell this idiot things?

"Because I'm your best friend."

Wait what?

"Stop reading my mind!"

"I can't help it if you don't put a barrier! Our demons are basically always synced."

"You know you're not helping me right?"

He stopped laughing and held both my hands.

"Mea Regina, whatever decision you decide to take I'll be there with you. But keep in mind that all actions have consequences. The prime reason that you are dating in the first place is for your freedom. That is the purpose of all of this.

If you decide to steer off your path you must always have contingency plans. Once this short nightmare is over you'll have plenty of time for love-"

"I'm not in love."

"I didn't say you were. But if by any chance our original plans change then just let me know so I can help you okay?"

I nodded.

"Good. Now keep that pretty little head clear of bad thoughts and focus solely on the end game. We're almost there okay."

He kissed my forehead and went back to the house. Deciding to take his advice I followed him and went to the kitchen to finally get some food.

Honestly so many things keep disturbing me from getting a meal I began to think that the universe is against me getting food today.

Once in the kitchen I find Tia's sister, Mary putting several finger foods in a plate on the table. I felt my mouth water at the delicious looking food. When Mary saw me she smiled and gestured me over and told me to sit down.

"Lucinda darling, it's quite perfect that you're here when I need someone to taste test all this food."

"Happy to help..."

I immediately popped in what looked like a miny mince pie and sighed at the delicious of it. After devouring my entire plate of hors d'oevers she placed a small bowl of creamy chicken Alfredo and several other plates of food in front of me.

I did not waste my time in eating ever single one of them. After I was done I sat back in the chair and rubbed my belly in satisfaction. Just when I was craving something sweet and plate of miny cupcakes, tarts and pastries was put in front of me.

Despite being full I took a bite of each of them, savoring the sweetness. Once done I looked up to see Mary staring at me eagerly.

I raised my hand in a chefs motion.

"Absolutely divine."

She sighed in relief and jotted something down on a paper and left me in the kitchen.

I sat there for a bit before I felt my eyes begin to grow heavy. Sleep coma here I come.

Just as I close my eyes to finally get some rest I hear the sound of 6-inch stilettos clicking against the floor. I frown at the noise disturbing my sleep but then it stops and I relax my face once again.

"Are you seriously sleeping in the kitchen right now?"

I internally groan. I was kind of hoping not to deal with her this entire weekend.

"What's it to you Lynn?"

"Well, you're contaminating all the food with your disgusting presence."

I opened my eyes and looked her frowning face.

"Is that so? And what are you doing... Scaring away the cockroaches and flies with yours?"

She shrieked and I rolled my eyes.

"Just stay away from Donavan you leech!"

I rubbed my eyes. Does she ever stop talking?

"I don't particularly see Donavan anywhere near me at the moment"

"Im pretty sure you were clinging to him a few hours ago, practically begging him to go with you into town. How does it feel to be a pick me girl?"

"Have you tried asking yourself? And besides he insisted to go with me not the other way around. Don't come here and annoy the shit out of with your shitty accusations."

"Maybe if you weren't so obsessed with my boyfriend I wouldn't be talking to your annoying face right now!"

"Maybe if you weren't so obsessed with your boyfriend this conversation would have never happened. I really don't have time for you right now Brendaline so if you're worried about your boyfriend maybe try talking to him instead of bothering me."

I got out of my chair and walked past her, slightly shoving her to the side and she stumbled. With calculated steps I made my way to my room and collapsed on the bed.

At that moment I didn't really care what was going around me. Not the wedding tomorrow, Lucian, Lynn, Chase, Donny or even my fucking depressing life. I just closed my eyes and retired to the land of dreams.
