FAZER LOGIN“Oh, David,” the moan came again. This time, Lotte was certain it was Lila. Unable to help herself, the girl moved back toward the small crack she had made in between the doors. She was lucky that it was already growing dark and that the three in the corner weren’t able to make out her silhouette. By now, she was able to just make out that Alana was actually sitting cross-legged over the table top. The legs that Charlotte had originally thought were hers actually belonged to David. The Doctor was lying on his back, his head resting on Alana’s lap. As for Lila, she was on top of David, riding him with a slow, steady pace. “Mmm, David,” the redhead moaned again. Her rhythm slowed just a bit more, as if she wanted to make that moment last as long as she could. Shock spread through Charlotte - David was cheating on her Aunt? Yet even as the girl’s astonishment subsided, it surprised her even more that anger wasn’t even an inch of an emotion she was feeling. Shouldn’t she be enraged for
Filing into the house, Lotte was immediately met with shouting… Brandon’s shouting. “You are such a bitch!” The younger teen roared. “Why do you have to ruin everything?” “Language,” Henry warned. “And it doesn’t sound like she is trying to ruin anything. Romy just enjoys spending time with you boys. Doesn’t that sound nice?” “Dinner is almost ready,” Levi cut in. “Grandpa, I’ll get you a plate to go.” “Thank you, sweet boy,” The older man called back. “I absolutely appreciate that. I’ll bring out my electric skillet for breakfast tomorrow morning, should anyone like to join me for pancakes.” “But I want to eat dinner with Grandpa,” Matty protested.“See!” Brandon started in again, “Even Matty doesn’t like this. Why are you so against our family spending time together?” Before Romy could answer, James and Lotte stepped into the mess. “What the hell is going on?” The muscled man demanded, his eyes already full of fire as they settled in on the drunk blonde sitting at one end of
When David finally made it to the truck, Lotte was buckled into the middle seat, trying desperately to sit as far away from James as possible. Though they still hadn’t managed to wrap up their discussion of her living arrangements, Charlotte was grateful the man behaved himself around his brother. David was beside himself with smiles. “I can’t wait to show the boys the church. Levi is going to lose his mind. He once tried to sneak out and visit it when he was younger; however, he couldn’t find the way and came home spooked about the woods.” Lotte could sympathize. “Those woods are terrifying at night…” James eyed her, “And what was Chris talking about back there when he said you claimed to see someone in the woods?” Charlotte shrugged, “Honestly, it was probably my imagination. I had never seen bones before, it was getting dark, and I was worried about Romy and Megan…” At the waitress's name, the girl looked back toward the Diner. She could just make out the outline of Megan throu
Leading the way out of the church, the Mayor stopped to stretch just out of reach of the soft rain droplets hitting against the stone steps. He fixed Lotte with a grin. “So are you heading back with these guys, or were you going to pull another all-nighter here?”Charlotte rolled her eyes, “Are you kidding? I have work tomorrow… Good God, do I want to bake something.”“That a girl,” The man cheered. “And don’t think this gets you out of volunteering for the winter festival… I’ll be faxing Barbara what we need.” “Faxing?” Lotte snorted. “What, are you 50 or something?” “Ah, now,” Mayor Moone scoffed. “See, and I was about to offer to carry you over all this nasty mud.” Hopping about, Charlotte had just managed to get her sneakers on and pinned Chris with a look. “You don’t think I can manage a bit of mud after everything I’ve been through the last few weeks? Your girlfriend hit me in the face, and I took it like a boss!” Just as the muscled man flinched at her words, a pair of arms
The look David gave her was enough to chill Lotte to the bone. All of the amusement she had felt over catching Chris and Sara vanished in two heartbeats. Clenching her fists together, the girl took a deep breath and then rotated her body so she could face the Doctor. “It was very dark when we came in. Romy and I were using our cellphone flashlights… Though I know for a fact that Megan was here, and will be more than happy to discuss that with her later. If anyone else had been in the building, they had done a good job of hiding it.” A sudden popping sound to Charlotte’s left had her gazing over to James. He was also clenching his fists together, though it was clear from the expression on his face that he was doing it out of rage, not fear. “Why the fuck were the two of you out here to begin with? Did you have some kind of death wish?” Lotte sighed, “Romy wanted to see this place after hearing all about it from Lucy, Lynn, Allison, and me. My Aunt loves haunted places, and the way th
Chris was up from his chair like it had suddenly caught fire. Charlotte matched his speed and was at his heels as he made his way into the hall. “Oh please,” The girl begged, “Don’t be an ass…” “I wouldn’t dream of it,” Mayor Moone mumbled over his shoulder at her. “I never agreed with my Grandfather’s bullshit. I want them to know this.” “But can’t they have a little more time alone with their mother? They clearly miss her… And after what someone did…” The muscled man suddenly stopped dead in his tracks. It happened so quickly that Lotte, who had been trying to keep up with him, collided with his backside. “You’re right…” His voice was so low that the girl almost couldn’t make out what he said. Turning back to Charlotte, Chris didn’t even try to hide his sad expression. “They are such an incredibly family,” the man mumbled on, “Henry and Anastasia always had my back, even after everything that my family did to them…” “This can be your ‘thank you’,” Lotte affirmed. A bit dizzy fr
It was in that moment that Lotte wanted to vanish into the water and disappear down the drain. Desperately, she tried raising a finger to her lips to silence Romy. “Everyone else is still sleeping,” she hissed. James glared, “Yes, everyone is still sleeping, and I’ll thank you not to wake them, Ro
Despite how quickly Lotte managed to strip down and change, James was still waiting for her on the other side of the door as she exited the closet. The taller man winked and stepped aside. “Mateo ordered me to change in here as well. He has never been offended by my body before; perhaps he is plann
The barn that James had pulled Lotte into was warm. The girl looked about with excitement at all the equipment that was currently out of use. David had said that their bees were tucked in tight and wouldn’t be able to make an appearance for several months. All the same, this was exactly what the gi
Lotte stood under the heavy stream of the shower and let the water envelope her weary body. She had meant to bathe the night before, but had disgustingly fallen fast asleep instead. Now, thinking back to Lila’s scrunched face, she wondered just how much of a smell she had accrued over the last few
