Jessica.
David and I sat by the kitchen island.
I had no socks on and David was wearing low socks so I stroked my foot against his ankle. I liked how the sparks felt against the skin and I saw how he got goosebumps from my touch. At the same time we looked at Tim he was playing with the kids in the empty living room. Anna and Ron really enjoyed Tim's company, They were building a huge tower with bricks that started to sway, the tower was almost as tall as Tom, and he's around 1.85 cm.
"Anna and Ron were so excited they stood completely still while Tim put on blocks, one last block and the tower collapsed.
*Bang*
"wooow, again!"Anna shouted, Ron wasn't late to agree with her.
"I have a hard time seeing him being such a bad boy and man's w***e ..." I whispered to David…
"I know. But he and Tom have been crazy. I hope that they finally will be able to calm down.. At least Tom he has found his Mate "
"WHAT! when?" I was so shocked and excited for him.
"Around midnight, they were on their way to their rooms. It's a bit funny actually, they played a lot as children and it's coach John's daughter. Tom won't have it easy in training from now"
We laughed.
"Uncle Tim is tired now, I'm sorry but I need to do some adult stuff" Tim was trying to excuse himself from playing whit Ron and Anna.
"Adult things are so boring!" pouted Anna.
"Yeah that's boring!" Ron agreed also pouting.
"sorry, we can play later?" It was more of a question than a statement.
"Anna, Ron, what do you say about checking out the area out there? ”David pointed to the window.
Anna and Ron ran and looked out the window "yes!! PLEASE" both jumped around excitedly.
Great, I had no idea what the area looked like. I had just been inside the castle and out in the parking lot.
We got ready to go out, Tim said goodbye and left.
When we got out in the hall we met Tom.
"Uncle Tom" both Anna and Ron shouted. Tom opened his arms ready to receive them in a big hug. But they both stopped and looked at him wide-eyed.
"oh my god what happened? Does it hurt?" they pointed to Tom's neck.
I saw that he had been marked.
"That my friends are called being Marked, we ... we do this when we meet our..ehm .. Wives .. yes .. I'm kind of married now.." Tom said proudly with a smile on his face.
"Why wasn't I allowed to attend the wedding?" Anna asked frustrated and crossed her arms.
David started laughing as Tom looked tormented, he didn't know what to say..
I tried to save him from the situation..
"It happens privately, only he and his wife ...."
"Jasmine"
"Only he and Jasmin is attending during the ceremony.."
I had understood that people usually mark each other in a little more private circumstances ..
"Okay .. but does it hurt?" Ron asked
"No it doesn't hurt at all, you can feel it .. Look nothing dangerous"
Both Anna and Ron stood poking at Tom's neck.
The door to Tom's room opened. Out came a beautiful girl with blonde hair. She laughed and asked if it was the famous Anna and Ron. She seemed really nice. We greeted each other.
"Where are you guys going?,
we're going to the village. I'm planning to try to bake Daddy's favorite cookies before he sees us, " she giggled.
"Yeah, we have to do something so he doesn't get a shock, or you know end me" Tom joked
David answered with a smile
"I thought we would go for a walk and check out the area. So Ron, Anna and Jessi know what this place looks like. "
"Great! We can go together, the more the more fun right ?" Tom looked at the children.
"YES! Jessi, can't they come with us?, pleaseee!" Anna begged
"of course!"
we left the castle and went down to the village, the parking lot to the castle was quite large, then came the greenery. After the greenery, there was a big gate.
Outside the big gate there were houses, it was really built block wise. It was beautiful, there were smaller gardens and the houses were next to each other. some had high hedges others lower. It was close but not so close that you were disturbed by the neighbors. There were children playing ball on the street, others were drawing with crayons on the ground, others jumping skipping ropes. Everything looked so cozy and welcoming. Ron and Anna pointed to children their own age, David told us about school, we passed small shops. It really was a village, A beautiful village. There were no cars so the children could run free. Apparently the cars were stored further away and if you had a lot to buy, there were carts to drive it home in, either if you had a private one or if you borrowed one. I thought it sounded very practical.
David told us about the farms with all the animals, How many acres belonged to Willow Creek, David told us that there were deliveries every week with food and sweets and other fun stuff, Willow creek was largely self-sufficient but there were still as he nicely called it luxury goods you wanted from outside. Many had jobs within Willow Creek but some also work outside. It was so hard to understand that such a large place existed, kind off protected from the rest of the world.
The tour ended fittingly enough at a large playground, Ron and Anna ran over there and played. Tom and Jasmin had deviated from the tour by the shops.
I was so impressed with this place, by David in particular. He was amazing. He had a patience of gold, Anna and Ron had probably asked 100 questions during the tour and regardless of the question, he answered them..
I stood and admired Ron and Anna as they played on the playground. These fantastic individuals climbed in a climbing position, they laughed and goofed around.. I felt two arms around me and a chin pressing against my neck, I felt the sparks flow and I got goosebumps. David's touch was intoxicating.
"Alfa William wants to meet them tomorrow .. so we should tell them ..." I felt nervous .. "I don't know where to start" …
"One thing is for sure, we must be prepared for questions" we started laughing. If there was anything Anna and Ron could do, it was to ask questions, and a lot of them.
