CHAPTER 10 I fell in love with three guys?!
*Joy*
At first, I thought I was in love with Sebastian. Out of the three, he was the easiest one to talk to, with that boy next door kind of charm... that certain 'je ne sais quoi'. When he looked at me with those honey-colored eyes of his, I would shiver involuntarily, even melting under his intense gaze. When we touched, I felt the electricity and sometimes, I saw his eyes go dark with desire, but it was so fleeting, I thought I had imagined it.
At school, Sebastian always had to be somewhere else for some reason, so I spent most of my time with Cristos and Xavier. At the start, I treated them as just friends, since I had my heart set on Sebastian, but I didn't notice I had fallen in love with them too. First, Xavier then Cristos.
I had fallen in love with three men. How was that possible?
The more time I spent with Cristos and Xavier and got to know them more, the more I fell in love with them. It was crazy. How could I have fallen in love with three men?
What Cristos told me about the Blood Disciples was just a reason for me to push them away.
But in New York City, as I stared at my phone, wishing one of them would call, I realized they were my sun, my moon and my stars, I can't wait to see them, so I came back...

*At the airport*
My mother didn't even recognize me at the airport when I only had minor surgery done and colored my hair to a dark blonde.
"The difference is amazing," my mother said, touching my new gold locks. "You look gorgeous, sweetheart. I think I should color my hair." I giggled.
"Should I book you an appointment? I'll have Cristos ask his hair stylist-"
I instantly stopped. How could I ask Cristos a favor when we weren't friends anymore? I lowered my eyes, terribly sad.
"What's the matter sweetheart?" My mother asked noticing my sad face.
"I think Joy and the trio broke up," my dad said, chuckling. He sounded amused. I gave my dad a dirty look.
"What happened to you and your friends?" My mom asked as we all entered the her car to leave the airport.
"I just found out about something, that's all," I said.
"And does this something directly affect your relationship with the boys?" She asked.
I stared outside and thought about it. They kept the truth about themselves for two years and we were all fine. Should we be any different now I knew the truth? The answer was simple...no.
"No, Mom. It doesn't," I said.
"Did they do anything to hurt you?" She asked.
"No, they didn't," I answered quickly.
"Then, why complicate things? You do want to still be friends with them, right?" My Dad asked, curiously.
"Yes, Dad. I still want to be friends with them," I lied.
I wanted to be more than just friends.... to all three of them.
"Hey Mom...Dad... Is it okay if I hung out with them tonight? I mean I know I just got here, but I really need to see them," I said.
"Sure, honey. I was planning to ask your Dad out on a date. Just a movie. Tomorrow, I have the day off," my mom said smiling. "Tell Cristos to book me a stylist for tomorrow afternoon. I want a blonde look just like yours."
"Sure, Mom." I took out my phone and sent a message through chat. I could see they were all active. At least the message would come to them at the same time.
"Hey guys! I'm back a day early. Let's go grab a drink. Pick me up at 6." ❤
I smiled when I saw the heart. I leaned back on the backseat of the car, my smile still on my face.
I already couldn't wait to date them...
