The Sweetest Honey

The perfect room

(Clara's point of view)

I walk in and look around. It is a room fit for a queen. I have dreamed of having a room like this all of my life. It is practically a studio apartment it is so big. There is a huge bed that could fit at least 3 people comfortably, and it has a canopy draped down it. The entire room seems to be themed like the night sky. The bed-set is dark blue that matches the rugs. The floor is a dark hardwood that looks new. The lamp on the bedside table is shaped like the moon. There are fairy lights around the top of the bed that look like little stars. I walk over and sit on the bed, and I melt into it. It is so much better than my 10 year old twin mattress I had. “Wendy you have to come sit here it’s amazing.” Without a word, she comes running at me and attempts to body slam me into the bed. I roll out of the way just in time, and she face plants right into the bed. We both start laughing as she rolls onto her back. “This is amazing, Clara!” I look around the room, and there is a little sitting area with a beautiful dark blue love seat facing possibly the largest flat screen TV I have ever seen. I could easily watch it from here. Below that there is a fireplace. “Clara look a balcony! Wendy points to a glass door that has it’s blinds drawn. We both get up, and I look outside. I lose my breath completely at the scenery below. “isn’t it great, Clara!” Wendy says, jumping up and down. I am speechless, though. We are in the woods but not like a few tree’s it’s dense. There are tree’s so big you could live inside of one. It is like paradise, though. The sky is so blue and I have never seen a place so lush and peaceful. I crack the door, and the air is even amazing. I look around and see gardens and green houses. I see buildings and cottages and streams. I could get used to this. I turn back around and go back in. I see Goliath and Jack talking, and they stop to look at us. Goliath seems to be trying to read me. At least, I think that’s what he is doing.

“How did we get here in such a short amount of time. This looks nothing like Nevada.” Before Goliath can even open his mouth, Wendy starts talking at the speed of light.

“CLARA , I can’t believe I didn’t tell you! We went through a portal. Magic is real, and I thought Goliath was a nut job who was going to kill us driving down a cliff.” “(No offense)” she says to him, which gets back to me. “ But we arrived back here safely, and it was so amazing.” She let out a huff. Completely out of breath, she sits back down on the bed.

“ Wow ok Should we go see Wendy’s room now?”

“Don’t you want to see your closet or bathroom first?” I look around, but I don’t know what he is talking about.

“Where are they?” Goliath kind of looks like a light bulb went off in his head.

“Oh, sorry, I forgot the doors don’t stick out so much.” He walks over to one side of the bed and grabs in indent in the wall and slides open a door, then walks over to the other side and does the same thing. I walk over to the right side and look in the door. It’s the bathroom.

“Wendy you have to see this! It is our dream bathroom.” She walks in and gasps. The boys follow behind her. We both chatter about the jacuzzi and the huge shower. The toilet even has a bidet. Goliath walks up to us.

“Wendy your bathroom and closet is just like Clara’s so I hope you will like them too.”

“The closet!” Wendy runs past the guys and out to the closet. They both looked at me a little stunned.

“She is kind of a clothes addict.” I say, shrugging my shoulders. They shake their heads, and we all walk to the closet. The door is wide open, and I need someone to pinch me because this has to be a dream. The closet is super huge. Everything is carpeted and white. There are rows and rows of lit shelves. Giant mirrors on 3 of the 4 walls. There are shoe racks from floor to ceiling. There is a table with little clear lock boxes for jewelry. I finally look at Wendy, and she is pushing a bunch of buttons that make the racks move, and the shelves move up and down. I see there are a few items of clothing and shoes already in here.

“I asked Clara’s mother about both your clothing sizes so you would have a few extra things to wear. I hope that’s ok.” I look at the dresses, and they are beautiful and look pricey. I am almost afraid I will ruin them just by touching them. I see some jeans and super killer heels.

“Everything is wonderful, Goliath. I just hope you didn’t spend too much.” He gives me a stern look like I am a kid in trouble. I can’t help but find it super sexy. My mouth goes dry, and thankfully, Wendy breaks the silence.

“Can I see my room now?”

“Sure but now that you are mates with Jack, I am not so positive it can compete with being in his room.”

She looks at Jack with a gleam in her eye, and that’s when it hits me. Should I want to stay in Goliath’s room? Wendy is acting more affectionate towards Jack already than I have with Goliath. Then, an even worse feeling hits me when I think about last night. How I pushed him away and how I got mad at him this morning.

“Go ahead, you two, Clara, and I will meet up with you in a moment.” They take off hand in hand, Wendy practically dragging Jack, probably to her closet.

“What’s wrong, Clara? You look sad. Is something wrong with the room because I will have them take everything out and start over again.” I lunge at him and hold him tight, and he finally stops talking. I look up at him “I am sorry.”

He looks down at me, very surprised.

“What on earth for?” I take a deep breath in and out, refusing to cry anymore.

“I am sorry that I have been a bad mate so far.”

“Clara why would you even think that?”
