Opening the center compartment, I grab the remote and pull upScrubs.We recently started watching it again.

“Hey, can you bring me my phone?” I shout to him, and he grunts.

“Okay, I ordered the pizza burger and got your bacon and swiss with a side of sweet potato fries,” he says, walking into the room.

He has my phone pressed against his ear, holding it with his shoulder and he’s ordering our food with his phone in his hand.

“No pockets,” I mutter being the sarcastic ass I am.

“Huh?” he asks, then scoffs when he realized what he did. “Fuck, bro, I’m exhausted. This case at work is taking all of my mental capacity.”

“Shit, I’m sorry. School has been crazy too… Okay, fuck it I’m in. Let’s go to New York and see what crazy Rus got himself into.”

WYNTER

Finishing up at the diner, Cirrus excuses himself after eating an absurd amount of food. I’m assuming he’s going to be sick, but he leans over, surprises me with a kiss, then pulls cash out of his ducky pajama pants and drops it on the table.

Pulling out his phone, he winks at me, then struts out of the diner not caring that everyone is staring at his crazy ass.

Liv plops down in his vacant seat and wiggles her eyebrows at me. “Girl, where did you find him? He’s one of a kind.”

“That he is,” I mutter, then laugh. This morning has been a whirlwind and I still haven’t even processed what happened inSpells Hollow yesterday or the fact that I had my brains fucked out last night.

Five times he made me come. If he wasn’t already planning to stay here, I might have chained him to the bed with that licorice rope he used on me. That was seriously hands down one of the hottest moments of my life.

“Are you guys together?” Liv asks as she steals some of Cirrus’ leftover bacon.

“Kinda. I mean he basically proposed, but I’ve only known him a few days, so…”

“Ugh, to be young and in love. I remember those days.”

“Liv, can I get a refill hon?” a young man asks from the counter, holding up his empty mug.

“Sure thing, Jordan.” She looks at me and winks. “I’d say yes, and then chain him in my basement so he didn’t try to get away. That one’s a keeper.”

Rolling my eyes, I nod and look out the diner’s window as she leaves me to get back to work.

Ruth watches me through the glass and I frown, thinking back to how she warned me yesterday.

I don’t get any magical vibes from Liv and her, but their eye colors, one white and one blue, make me think they might have a little magic in their ancestry line.

Getting back to my room,I find I’m a little upset that Cirrus isn’t there. After being dismissed so often from guys I’m finding that I like his attention. Even if it is a tad jarring at times.

Walking to the bathroom, I strip off the ridiculous outfit he dressed me in, but I don’t toss it in the trash like I originally planned.

It’s rather comfortable and makes my ass look good. Plus, it was sweet of him to make sure I was warm.

Folding it, I place it on the counter, then turn the water on. I’m sticky between the thighs and I know I should worry about not using a condom, but for some reason I feel safe with Cirrus and if that premonition was true I’m bound to have his baby at some point.

It’s not like I’m getting any younger. I’ve always wanted to be a mom.

Ugh, I'm sounding as insane as Cirrus now.

After quickly showering, I dress in some shorts and a hoodie. I want to go back to Spells Hollow. Even if it does make me physically sick to return.

Those poor people. They didn't deserve to succumb to the ministrations of a mad man.

All those innocent children whose only fault was to have powerful magic, and Melisande, I can’t imagine the pain and heartbreak she had to push to the side to try and save her coven and lovers.
