(I missed this story, totally forgot about it for a few years. Sorry for not replying back in like half a decade at this point, my bad lol. I'm sure you've long forgotten about this, but I don't want it getting deleted for inactivity and I'd be willing to keep this adventure going if you are.😁)...
Edmond frowned “I know, I saw her. It pains me to see her so distraught. It was never like this when we were children. Can you believe things once used to be quite different? It was-” He stopped himself knowing he shouldn’t say anything more. “Ah well, things change, for better or for worse...”...
“Yes...” Phiona sighed clearly still worried, but she tried not to show it. There was a moment’s pause when she looked up at him not saying anything just thinking of all that has happened, and the way everyone behaved. A feeling of regret and embarrassment pressed on her but ignored it. Biting...
Phiona nodded slowly as she looked up at him her lashes wet from the tears she had blinked away.
“I want the same for you,” She wrung her hands as she spoke trying to gather herself.
“I cant seem to find any joy in life when I know you are so displeased with me...and my family,” She glanced...
Phiona’s lips trembled wanting immediately to cry out. No! Of course not! But she didn’t, instead she hesitated. She had once thought she would be happy on her own, or living with her family, for a time she even thought she could be happy with Jacques. Though once she became involved with Gaston...
((I have decided to postpone Xander’s love potion use until they get back to the school.))
“Gaston...” Her voice was pained as she looked up at him stunned that he suggested leaving her. “Don’t leave me...” Was all that she had the strength to say as her small shoulders shook. Tears slowly...
Phiona wished she could believe him, but it was clear when her pain filled eyes met his that she didn’t.
“Will it be? You can give up your position at the school so we can be together, but that will not stop those vile students who feed off my torment nor the malevolent teachers who take...
(Sure do you have an idea of where to skip to?)
Phiona frowned at Gaston disappointed in him and embarrassed by herself. She didn’t know why but she was hurt by the fact that he did not go along with it. Did not give her a few more moments of bliss before having to face the possessive wreck...
“No...” She sighed wanting to spend as much time here with him as possible but it didn’t really look like that was possible anymore. Looking down at them she suddenly giggled having to purse her lips to mute herself. It could just be the fact that she was still a bit tipsy, but she found the way...
Donahue shook his head, “No not the ocean, not technically. The English Channel? Yes. The Balearic Sea? Yes, but not the ocean.” He ended up yawning too. “But perhaps someone did and I was just too young to remember, who knows.”
Phiona smiled at his words. “I try~” She whispered softly wrapping her arms around his shoulders. That clever trick of her’s was one of the many things her grandmother taught her as a child. She used it to get out of trouble and to make herself reigning champion of hide and seek over the other...
“Did they really? I couldn’t tell.” Phiona teased him keeping her voice low as you could hear her brothers getting closer.
“Phiona we’re sorry come out, mother is worried about you.” Douglas called jiggling Gaston’s locked door.
Phiona tensed up knowing her brothers could easily unlock the...
Phiona closed her eyes as he kissed her letting her lips melt against his for a moment before pulling away trying to settle the butterflies in her stomach. “Are you sure that’s what you want?” She asked her voice but a whisper as she cupped Gaston’s cheek
Donahue paused for a second. “I don’t really know.” He thought back to his childhood growing more somber as he thought back to it. “I know my mother died in labor with me, and I assume she didn’t know who my father was or at least he wasn’t around for my birth.” Donahue shrugged voice getting...
Phiona chuckled softly. “I wouldn’t mind it either,” she tilted her chin up sweetly kissing the tip of Gaston’s nose. Despite this she hesitated a frown slowly creeping across her lips. “As much as I would love us not needing to hide I don’t want you to loose your position because of me.”
“In my defense you brought me in here this time, I was originally going to be hiding in my own room.” She smiled softly at him gently reaching up and playing with one of his springy curls. “Not that I mind.”
