-6 Chapter Twelve (1/2)
*** Nyx ***
I couldn't get it out of my head. Her wet lips looped in my brain. The way my skin burned as her body pressed close to hers. I didn't know how I was going to get it out of my head but I did know that I was going to make sure that wasn't the last time I was going to feel something so intense like that.
Breakfast was tense. Yna and her uncle refused to speak to each other. Yna and Amor ignored each other. Yna and Luisa refused to speak to each other. Amor, Yna's uncle and I are not on good terms. Which meant it was really hard to get anything.
”Yna, can you please ask your uncle to pass me the butter?” I whispered.
”Grandma, can you please tell uncle Eduardo to pass Nyx the butter.” Yna uttered.
”Mum, can you please tell Nyx that if he needs the butter he needs to buy his own?” Her uncle shot back. Yna banged her fists on the table with a loud grunt.
”Grandma can you please tell uncle Eduardo that Nyx doesn't need to buy his own butter and he should stop acting like a teenager.”
”Grandma can you please tell Yna that she doesn't need to defend Nyx? He has a mouth that functions perfectly. Can you also tell her to change the weather? The humidity is making my hair frizzy, ” Luisa cried.
”Grandma can you please tell Luisa that the world doesn't evolve around her and everyone can't get what they want?”
”Will you please stop. If you guys need to say anything to anyone tell them yourself,” grandma shouted.
”I still need the butter.” I commented. Grandma looked at me and sent me the worst glare she could muster.
”That's it. Everyone in the living room. Now!” grandma thundered.
Oh my god. All I needed was butter. Was that so wrong. Everyone dropped their forks and walked into the living room.
”Really. Do you know how embarrassed you should all feel that I had to stop you all from eating and call you out here to shout at you? Eduardo, are you a teenager? I could expect the kids to do that, but you?” grandma questioned.
”It was clearly not his fault.” Yna's aunt argued.
”Did I ask you to speak? How dare you interrupt me? I am pretty sure that if I need your opinion on me telling off my son I will ask you? And Luisa what the hell is wrong with you? Why are you getting involve? And what's going on between you and Yna?”
”I wasn't just us. It was also Yna's fault. Why is she not getting told off?” Luisa whined.
”Actually it was all my fault I should have just stood up and got the butter myself.” I justified.
”Did I say I was done, Luisa? Can you stop questioning my methods and jumping into conclusions? I will tell Yna off I just haven't gotten to that yet. So can all of you just be patient and stop interrupting me. And Yna I know you are upset but can you please change the weather and stop being mad at your uncle? And Nyx, you are right you should have just gotten up and got the butter. But its fine everyone makes mistakes. I am sure you didn't deliberately start all that.”
”Really. That's it. That's really all you are going to say to her. Oh my god, wow. I know she is everyone's concern but can people just stop making it so obvious. And can people actually notice that everything doesn't have to be about her and she doesn't need all the attention she is getting. Yeah, a bunch of men after her and want her dead but that does not mean she has to get everything. Get everyone. I exist too, you know. ” Luisa shouted and stormsd out of the room as the tears welled up in her eyes.
”Oh Luisa, stop being a drama queen...”
”Yna, please stop. Luisa what's wrong. Come and talk to me. Does anyone know what wrong with Luisa? She is acting quite strange, ”grandma asked worriedly.
”I don't know. She has been acting like a bitch since yesterday.”
”Yna, language. And I will go speak to her and find out what is wrong. The rest of you can go and finish your breakfast.”
The rest of breakfast dragged. Yna's uncle and his wife quickly finished their food and left the room. Leaving me and Yna. Oh and Amor.
”Nyx do you want to go for a walk after eating?” Yna asked.
”Of course.”
”That will have to wait. Her royal highness has to finish her lessons first.”
”Yeah about that, Amor I was thinking we should do the lessons outside today. It could be like a practical lesson and we can really test my powers on nature itself.”
”That's a great idea. OK we shall do that then.”
”Splendid. So Nyx meet us outside.” she said happily as she skipped out of the room.
