You Kissed My Soul

Chapter 12

“What did you just say?” I asked narrowing my eyes.

“What did I say?” Dylan replied quietly eating his Chicken pasta acting innocent.

I was sure that I heard him speak “She is a Virgin, I can smell it” to Blake.

“You see I’m not deaf here, do you understand,” I said through gritted teeth.

I was shocked on the matter that how did he know me being a Virgin? and what in the world does he

mean by the statement “I can smell it”?

I will surely go insane if I stay here any longer. Just three weeks more and then I will be out of here. I

will be living my life as I was living earlier, travelling, having fun. Sure, I will miss Bell, Blake and Cole

and I have decided to stay in contact with them.

They have become very close to me in this short period of time so, I have decided to stay in contact

with them. But not with Dylan. I will never miss him nor will I stay in contact with him.

“Just eat your thing and stop irritating me” he said irritated.

The nerve of him. He is getting me irritated here and he is saying that I am irritating him.

“I’m irritating you? You are the one who is irritating me. Can’t you just do your work ignoring me or

talking about me” I said glaring at him.

“I will do whatever I want. I will talk about you if I want” he said with a smug look on his face.

“I will slap you if I hear any more word about me” I warned him and watched him as he narrowed his

eyes towards me.

“Oh really?” He dared.

“Try me” I said crossing my arms around my chest giving him a innocent smile. I rubbed my palms

showing him that they were itching to slap his face.

He glared at me but nevertheless chose to keep quiet. Finally I ate my breakfast in silence and got up

from the chair walking out of the room with Bell following me.

“Bell I need to tell you something” I said in a monotone. I wanted to tell her that I was here only for a

month.

“Yeah?” She asked but I shooked my head negatively. Maybe I will tell her later.

“Ah nothing important” I told her and she nodded.

“Why is Dylan like this?” I asked her and noticed her visibly gulping.

“Uh it’s becaus-” she was cut off by a giggling sound.

I raised my eyebrow and looked everywhere. I found a girl hiding behind a table, peeping her head out

and giggling at me.

“Hello Little one” I said bending down and smiling at her.

She walked out of her hidden place and walked to me. She gestured me to bent down to her level and

with furrowed eyebrows I did what she asked me to do.

As soon as I bent down she swiftly placed a kiss on my right cheek and ran away giggling.

A smile formed on my lips and I touched the place where at kissed me.

“What was that for?” I asked to myself to which Bell replied “Kids love their Luna” dreamily.

“Who?” I asked confused.

“Uh I mean Guest. Kids love their guests” she corrected herself and I nodded still not buying it.

“Wait you said Kids?” I asked to which she nodded smiling.

“Yes kids” she replied.

“There are more kids in this house?” I asked suddenly excited.

“Yes. Do you want to meet them?” She asked and I nodded “Of course”.

“Well follow me” she said and began to walk. I followed her and soon we reached a door.

“Its where the kids spend their times during the day” she said and opened the door going in. I followed

her and immediately laughing, giggling and shouting sounds of children filled my ears.

“Luna” They all shouted in chorus and ran to me.

“Luna?” I asked confused and looked at Bell for help. She bit down on her lips and shrugged her

shoulders.

“Hellow Kids” I said excited.

“Hello Luna” They all shouted in chorus while some ran to me and hugged my legs.

I chuckled and found the same girl who kissed me back there in the hall. She was hugging my leg and

giggling. I smiled down at her and picked her up hugging her.

“What’s your name?” I asked and placed a kiss on her hand.

“Evangeline” she said excited and wrapped her hands around my neck.

“Aw such a beautiful name” I cooed making her smile.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Wha- what’s your name?” She asked curiously.

“Its Aderyn” I told her laughed a little when she couldn’t pronounce it properly.

“Okay then call me Adie” I said when she gave up pronouncing my full name.

“Adie” she tasted “That’s right” I spoke and gently put her down.

“Whose kids are they?” I asked Bell who was playing with a little boy.

“The warriors” she said and continued playing.

“Warriors?” I asked and she looked up at me.

“Warriors means Soldiers yeah Soldiers. There parents are busy protecting their territory” she told me

and though I didn’t understand anything I nodded murmuring a quiet “I see”.

Soon every children began to play. They began running here and there and remained busy in doing

their stuffs which the other children of their age generally did.

I was so engrossed in playing with Evangeline that I didn’t a notice a boy maybe only of four years

sitting alone at the corner in a chair with a leg bandaged reading a book quietly.

I furrowed my eyebrows upon seeing his leg. I wonder what happened to him.

I left Evangeline with others and made my way to that boy who got my whole attention.

“Hi baby” I said excited pinching his chubby cheeks.

“Hello” he said in a low voice. Though he smiled at me but his smile never reached his eyes. Instantly, I

felt sad for him and wanted to know the reason of his sadness.

So, I knelt down before him and kept my hands on the hand rest and gave him a smile.

“What’s your name buddy?” I asked softly and waited for him to reply.

“Ryan” he whispered and my eyes widened upon hearing the familiar name. I jolted up and stood on

my legs, my breaths coming out heavy.

“Ryan” I whispered the name of my brother.

“Ryan” I whispered again and eventually the memories of our childhood played back in my mind. The

day when we were happy, sad, fighting, caring everything came rushing into my mind. My heart beat

began to rise and I clutched my chest feeling pain.

“Luna” I heard the kids sad voice and looked at Bell giving me a worried look.

“Are you alright Adie?” She asked me and finally catching my breath I nodded smiling at her. As soon

as I smiled the kids began to smile and ran back to their places.

I looked down to see Ryan eyeing me as if he did some crime and expecting to get a punishment.

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes composing myself. Opening my eyes, I sat down before him

and smiled at him.

“Why are you sitting alone Ry- uh Buddy?” I chose to use Buddy instead of his name.

“Because I can’t walk” he murmured looking down to his bandaged leg.

“What happened to your leg?” I asked him but Bell intruded answering the question for him.

“Uh his Dad saved him from wolves. It was done by a wild wolf” she spoke sadly and I nodded taking in

her words.

Sure there maybe wolves around here because this house is situated surrounded by woods after all.

“And where is his Father?” I asked her to which she gave me a sad look.

“He died saving him” she told me and immediately my heart ached hearing this. I felt pain and sadness

flowing through my veins. I felt a connection towards the little guy.

“Ryan” our heads turned around upon hearing someone call his name.

“Sophia” Bell smiled at the Brunette lady who smiled back at her.

“Lu- I mean Ms. Brookes” she smiled addressing me. I smiled back at her and got up shaking my hand

with her “Please call me Aderyn or Adie” I told her to which she hesitantly nodded.

“Ryan baby let’s go back to our room?” The lady whose name was Sophia asked Ryan to which he

nodded saying “Yes Mom”.

She cradled up Ryan into her arms and gave me a smile. I bid Goodbye to both of them and they went

away out from the room.

“I feel bad” I whispered and as if Bell heard me she nodded her head agreeing with me.

In my room, I changed my dress into my vest and Spandex. I tied my hair into a ponytail and sat on the

floor meditating for some hours.

I needed some peace for my mind. Meditation was the perfect way to gain peace and that’s what I was

doing.
