《What lies beneath》Chapter Eight

Cole's POV
"No," Addylin giggles, as she serves our takeout onto plates. "You cannot put ketchup on ice cream."
"Just hear me out," I say. "You can't knock it till you try it."
"I am not trying it," she says. She walks over and sits beside me on the couch, crossing her legs.
We eat in silence and occasionally I see Addylin looking at me. I know she doesn't want me to see her looking, so I don't comment.
Once I'm finish I stand up and go over to the sink, washing my plate. I hear Addylin's phone ring and then it stops.
"Hi Jade," I head Addylin say. "I'm at Cole's why?" I walk back over and sit beside her. "Jade I'm fine, we are just eating dinner." I roll my eyes and stand back up, going over to my art panel and starting on Addylin's hair. "Yes Jade I'm coming home." I chuckle a little. "I don't know, late." Late? "Goodbye Jade." She hangs up and then continues eating her dinner.
"How's Jade?" I ask, sweetly.
"She was just wondering where I was," Addylin mumbles. "I didn't tell her I was coming here today."
"Why?" I ask, stopping my painting.
"Jade doesn't like you," she admits. "S-she s-says y-your a-a-"
"Hey," I say softly, quickly standing up and going over to her, when I realise she's on the bridge of a panic attack. "You don't have to tell me, just breathe for me Addylin."
She breathes in and out, staring intently into my eyes. She bites her bottom lip in distress. "She's says your a monster," she mumbles, looking away.
Pain erupts into my chest, and I quickly rub it away. "Do you think I'm a monster?" I ask, almost whispering.

Her eyes come back to me and brim with tears. "No."
"Don't cry," I say, wiping them away. "I don't want you crying for me."
"You don't deserve to be treated that way," she croaks. "Y-your such an amazing guy."
I smile. "Thank you."
"Jade doesn't know you like I do," Addylin says. "Your the nicest guy I've ever met."
"Jade doesn't want to get to know me," I state.
"She needs to," Addylin whines. "How are we suppose to work, if my best friend doesn't like you?"
"There's a we?" I question.
Her cheeks turn dark red. "I just thought since you k-kissed me, that we were a thing."
I smile down at her. "I do like you," I say. "But if Jade not liking me is a problem should we pursue it."
"I like you too," Addylin says. "And I don't care about the fact that she doesn't like you, I just wish that she will try and be nice to your face and then she can talk shit behind your back."
I laugh. "I don't think I really want her talking shit behind my back."
"Well that's too late cause she already does that," Addylin blurts out.
"What does she say?" I ask.
"The monster one was the worse," she states. "Then she said she didn't trust you and then said that you were only with me, because you thought I was easy and once you sleep with me you will dump me and-" I cover her mouth with my hand and her eyes widen in surprise.
"I will never do that to you," I growl. "I know your wishes to wait till marriage and I'm okay with that. I would never force you to do anything, you didn't want to do."

I take my hand away from her mouth and I nearly flinch in surprise when she softly placed her lips against mine. I grab the back of her head and deepen the kiss. She moans softly and her right hand grips my shoulder. I slowly pull away and her eyes flutter open. "That was nice," she whispers. I now realise she was perched on her knees, leaning over to me. She giggles when I pull her into my lap to make her more comfortable.
"I want to be with you," I say.
"Like boyfriend and girlfriend?" She questions. I nod. "O-okay."
"Okay," I murmur. "Wanna watch a movie?"
"On what?" She asks.
"I have a tv in my bedroom," I answer.
"Why not out here?" She asks, as I get her off me, take her hand and lead her into my bedroom.
"I paint out there," I state. "I don't like distractions."
She nods. "C-can I pick the movie?"
"Sure," I answer. "I have Netflix."
I give her the remote and she picks legally blonde, before we cuddle in my bed.
This is awesome.

Seeking Elysium
Elysium Ling is a returnee. She’s been to an alternate world, coerced into fighting their wars, and somehow returned alive. Now, 13 years later, she finds herself again taken to a foreign world – this time, by her own choice. Not the same world that she returned from, but a foreign world nonetheless. There, struggling in an unknown world, utterly alone, she has a chance encounter with a young lady with a lovely voice. An encounter which would spark a chain of events that would irrevocably shape the world around them. That young lady’s name is Rosalind. This is her story. Disclaimer/Trigger Warnings (Please Read!) THIS WORK WILL MOST LIKELY CONTAIN BOTH HOMOSEXUAL AND INCESTUOUS UNDERTONES. IT WILL ALSO HAVE OCCASIONAL DESCRIPTIONS OF GORE THAT CAN GET REASONABLY GRAPHIC. PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU ARE UNDER THE LEGAL AGE IN YOUR COUNTRY TO CONSUME SUCH CONTENT AS MENTIONED ABOVE, OR IF YOU ARE TRIGGERED BY HOMOSEXUALITY, GORE OR INCEST. Notes on Relation to Lily Ex Machina While this story is intended to be a sequel to my first work, Lily Ex Machina (LxM), I will be writing it in a manner that does not require readers to have read LxM to understand it. While having read LxM will likely enhance your enjoyment of this work(I hope), I am intending for this story to be able to stand on its own legs. As such, certain worldbuilding elements that I have expanded upon in LxM will likely be repeated in Seeking Elysium(SEly). As such, for newcomers, it should not be an issue to follow this story without prior knowledge of LxM. On the other hand, for my returning readers, I do beg your forgiveness for forcing you to read through stuff you already know. I’ll do my best to try and make it interesting, but no guarantees of success, I’m afraid. On the other hand, if you’re a newcomer to this series and enjoy SEly, I do hope you’ll take the time to read Lily Ex Machina as well, if only to get more information of the backstories of some characters. Update Schedule I will only post completed volumes on RRL; if you would like to follow the story while it is ongoing, you may do so at my website. I update twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays. Supporters on my Patreon get access to chapters a day earlier.

Who Knows?
"Watch it.""Watch it," I mock him in a whisper, feeling brave. Suddenly, he gets up from his stool and stalks towards me. His large frame towering over my sitting form. I swallow the last bit of my pancakes slowly, my eyes wandering up his body until they stop at his face. He seems displeased. Very much so. His hand grabs the part where my head and neck connect and he slowly but firmly tilts my head back, his fingers tangling in my hair. His skin is rough on mine but still oddly comforting."What did you just say?" He asks, each of his words pronounced slowly and precisely. "I-I-I j-just.. I was j-just joking." I barely choke out. "You were just joking, huh?" "Mhm." I nod, my head subconsciously leaning into his touch my eyes closing on their own accord. His thumb caresses my cheekbone and I never want him to stop. I have never had a male being make me feel this good before. Don't get me wrong I did kiss a few people but it never felt as good as what he is doing right now. "Romy?""Yes," I breathe out, biting my lip. His thumb is quick in pulling it from between my teeth. "Nevermind." He rushes out, detaching his hand from my face.Hey Guys! I hope you enjoy my story.
