Mythic love lines

The Introduction

Outside of the home was a guy dressed in a suit and tie. He was talking to Seth ,the driver as he was getting out . Jake is what I heard him call him .He was tall , friendly . Looked similar to Seth . Who over the week long trip tried to talk with me but also respected my silence and the need to be by myself.

I stepped out and said” Thank you Seth”

He said it’s been my pleasure. Seth introduce Jake to me .Jake nodded his head in respect . Please follow me miss they are expecting you.! I walk behind Jake slowly ,not really anticipating meeting all these new faces. For the first time I wonder if they’re gonna be like me .I mean ,I just didn’t know. I took a deep breath , my bag in hand and walked into the large entrance as the doors were opened for us . I stepped inside it was huge . With my jaw almost hitting the floor , I stared at everything before me .It is absolutely beautiful everything was made out of marble ,high ceilings ,chandeliers hanging , paintings ,art work and Floral arrangements , each in there place . Almost looked like a museum of sorts but with a homey feel to it , if that was even possible in such a place . Amazing .wow is all I could think of to describe such architecture.

As I was ushered into a living room .I saw a painting on the wall as we passed .it was titled ‘King of wolves’. A beautiful large black wolf next to a white wolf . Magnificent creatures . They looked to be in battle side by side with other wolves against a pack of what looked like a pack of rabid wolves .

I didn’t want to lag too far behind so I was sure not to linger too long . As I entered with Jake , He announced who I was and left swiftly . Standing there feeling a bit awkward , Titus was the first to address himself. “ Hello , allow me to introduce myself .” He said . “ I am Titus , this is my wife Beth , my sons Chad, Nixon, Aaron , and my lovely daughter Sibble .” Titus was my father’s brother .He was placed in the will as caregiver ,if anything was to happen .

Each one sitting in their pristine outfits very social light material . I thought to myself “oh boy I am not gonna fit into this family very well . Although I was considered popular in school . Had friends . Always invited to parties and social gathering from fellow students ,which I hardly ever attended . My parents had decent jobs , I even held a job , w’d be considered well off but by no means this rich and definitely not stuck up . These people had money pouring out their pores . And gorgeous . These people took the word to a total other meaning. They all had tanned skin , no blemish , all had the same dark hair except for Beth which had a slightly lighter hair color but same complexion . Same color eyes brown . A lovely shade of chocolate. . Each came up to me hugging and welcoming me to the family . I’m almost tripping over my words at a simple “hello nice to meet you “. I wanted to face palm myself , being a bit nervous I think they overlooked it . They were all extremely tall . Even Sibble . She must’ve been 5’11 , at least. The boys even taller standing 6’ and up .But at 5’2 , most everyone was taller than me . They made small chitchat . Asking me questions and I could tell , they are trying to make me comfortable. Being polite, I answered them and I did feel relaxed after a few minutes with them. After a bit I was shown to my room by Sybil . chitchatting the whole way . she was telling me how excited she was to finally have a girl around her age in the house . Apparently are close in age he r being 18 and me 15. Yes ,we will be in the same grade when school starts up in a few weeks .I skipped a few grades due to doubling up and taking classes during the summer months as soon as they were offered .

After a long drive and meeting everyone . It was nice to be by myself again . I took in the lavish room prepared for me . Just like everything else in the home , this was large too. It was lovely in the royal blue shade of colors. Windows from ceiling to floor . Even a balcony that I could sit at. A walk-in closet a bathroom with a shower and a tub with jets . Very nice . Luxurious is what I would use to describe this room.

I filled the tub with the hottest temperature I could bare . Dumping some salts in , I soaked for what seemed forever . I was exhausted and overwhelmed. Thinking of my parents and aunt. I would rather have them back then have all this I thought sadly. I felt bad that I already liked the people I met and the home was beautiful. Was it bad to like this so soon ? And feel like somehow it’s where I’m suppose to be?

I know my mom and dad would want me to be happy and live . My aunt too. Her and mom were always telling me about a soul mate . Telling me To find my soul mate. I chuckled out loud as I sit with a hot wash cloth over my eyes resting my head against the back of the tub . Thinking of those two bickering back and forth describing what it will be like finding your soul mate. Both saying the same thing really . It was like they were competing between themselves who had the better “ tingles” or more “hot spells “ and all the stuff I kinda wasn’t ready to want to know about.

Although a some of , ok , most of my friends have had s*x or some level of kissing and fondling . At my age I wasn’t ready. I haven’t even kissed anyone . I went to dances with a few boys from school , a movie or two and went out with a group of friends together, But that was literally all we did . Although if you were to ask some of them they would swear I had s*x with them . I just shake my head and ‘whatever’ it because first it kept my friends from trying to ‘ peer pressure’ me . If it was something they already thought I did , there was no ‘ why this ?’ or ‘why not that?’and second , i just didn’t care what people said about me . I knew me and that’s all that mattered. I was waiting for that soul mate . The kind of relationship I heard from my aunt and saw from my parents . And I wasn’t going to find it at 15.

I must’ve dosed off in the tub . I woke to a loud knock on my door . Apparently I missed dinner and now it was being brought up to me . I got out , wrapping a huge fluffy warm towel around myself then opening the bathroom door I found that the tray of food was by my bed . I dressed in my night shirt and pajama pants . Nibbled a bit on the food before me and laid down finishing the sleep I began in the tub.
