Kai sees her flush a little at the nickname, but smiled warmly at Kai when she stopped in front of him.

“You don’t mind the nickname then.” She inclined her head,

“What can I do for you Kai?” She asks, putting one hand on her hip, sighing and smirking,

“You can take my card.” He pulls out a business card and flips it over, he asks for a pen which she produces and he writes Ash’s number on the back. He hands her a small piece of card, which has his number and email address on the front and now Ash’s number on the back. “That’s Ash’s mobile on the back. Text or whatever, whenever you’d like. But we’d still like to talk some more while we’re here. The night still feels young to me, and I really would like to get to know you better.”

She takes the offered card, looks at it, then puts it in her back pocket. Nodding slowly, she looks down the bar to Molly who smirks and waves her off,

“You can be done for now, girl. I’ll call you if anyone needs cocktails.” She smiles, makes herself another

  • Her Eyes of Emerald and Fire   Chapter 183 – Malachi

    Eliza and Connor make their way back to the table, with two plates each and Eliza sits back down sighing deeply. Kai looks at her, and she tries to smile, but it’s unconvincing. He rests a hand on her hip, and leans in to her ear.“Baby, I can tell you’re not okay. I know that it’s a sad day, but something else is bothering you, I can feel it.” She nods,“I’m worried, this morning’s excitement has me on edge.” She rolls her shoulders, and shakes her head, “There’s nothing definitive, it’s just a feeling.” He nods, kissing her temple. Charlie looks at her, raising an eyebrow.“What happened this morning?” Eliza sighs,“I didn’t want you to worry, but I would have told you eventually.” She pushes the plate away from her, and gets up to come around to Charlie, she leans down and whispers in her ear. Kai doesn’t need to listen, and so scans the room for anyone that looks like they don’t belong. He can’t see anything off, and frowns. Ash puts a hand on his sho

    Eliza smirks, and tilts her head at the vicar,“Not exactly, but I have knowledge of a lot of Gods from a lot of different pantheons. Call it a hobby.” He smiles, and nods, “I’m sorry, I really should go.” He nods and waves, ushering her to the door. She bows her head and leaves quickly, watching every shadow just in case it turns into Sansom. She climbs into the cab and sits between her men. Each of whom has a child in their lap. The driver looks unhappy about them not having seatbelts on, she huffs.“They’ve probably got better reaction times than your seatbelts, and we’re not going far. Just drive, please. We just had their father’s funeral.” He pales and nods, his loud, broad cockney accent filling the back of the cab.“Sorry, ma’am. It’s rules is all.” She nods, but ignores him, looking at her niece and nephew. Jessie’s almost asleep in Ash’s lap, but Danny’s now openly weeping, she rests a hand on his head. And he looks up at her, his eyes shining. Charlie

  • Her Eyes of Emerald and Fire   Chapter 181 – Eliza

    “Welcome all, I would like to thank you all for attending this service of remembrance for Benjamin Alden. He leaves behind his wife and two children, as well as you all. It was a sad day when I was informed of his passing, even though he had been ill for some time. I visited him in the hospital to give him communion and pray with him, and I was honoured to have been with him during that time.” Eliza does her best to keep a straight face and not look at Charlie. The vicar continues,“We begin with a prayer, then his sister-in-law Eliza is going to sing, um, ‘The Wellsong’.” He seems confused, but lots of the people present make quiet pleased noises, she takes a steadying breath, as he continues. “May God give to you and all whom you love his comfort and peace, his light and his joy, in this world and the next; and the blessing of God almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be upon you, and remain with you today and forever. Amen.”It was a good prayer, a sol

  • Her Eyes of Emerald and Fire   Chapter 180 – Eliza

    Charlie is talking to the vicar and Serena and Connor are moving the flowers around as they’re apparently too close together. Eliza doesn’t care, this funeral is going to look exactly how Charlie wants it to, no matter what. The vicar gives a sigh of relief at Eliza’s approach.“Good afternoon, I’m Lawrence Pitfield, I’m the vicar here.” She shakes his hand firmly at his introduction. He’s an old white man, balding and clean-shaven. He has thick glasses, which made his round grey eyes look huge. He had a long thin nose that his glasses keep sliding down. And full lips that are curved in a warm smile, he seems nice enough.“Eliza, sister to Charlie.” He blinks, looking between the two of them, “And the blonde over there is our other sister, Serena.” He looks over at Serena and then back at them. With a confused look. “Adoptive, for want of a better term.” He finally smiles and nods, understanding. “Not that it should matter, after all, you’re all brothers and sisters in

    Charlie starts by sectioning Eliza’s hair, and tying the main central part up in a bun to keep it out of the way. She does three tight plaits either side of her head, going from her temple to the back of her head, then down the full length of her hair threading small golden metal rings throughout the length of the plaits. It looks incredible with her dark auburn hair.Once these six small plaits, which are called Goddess braids according to Charlie, are done Charlie undoes the bun on the top of her head and starts working on a bigger braid, it’s still complicated looking. She divides the hair into two sections and begins weaving them together taking about half of the hair from the outside of the right section and crossing it over to the left section, placing it on the inside of the left section of hair. And repeating to the other side.She calls this a fishtail braid, and Ash can see why. Charlie threads more golden rings in as she goes, finishing the bottom of the bra

    She closes the bedroom door and wanders over. He helps her out of her clothes, and she sits on the edge of the bed so he can start getting her pants and jumpsuit on, before rolling up the legs to do her boots.He gets her to stand up and pulls up the pants, and jumpsuit to her waist, then sits her back down again to sort out the bra. She has to help him as it’s a different style than her normal sort, but once the strap is around her neck she adjusts her breasts so they’re comfortable and he then takes the chain and clips it together in the middle of her back letting the excess dangle down her back. The way it rests across her back her phoenix tattoo almost looks like it’s perching on the chain.He clasps the halter neck of the jumpsuit at the back of her neck, and stands back to admire his woman. Gods, she looked fine. He bites his lip, and leans down to kiss her forehead.“You look incredible, Honey.” She smirks, and goes to her bag, pulling out a bag of make-u
