《Gracie》Chapter Six
Advertisement
I was sitting at the table so full I could barley move a muscle. I looked at my watch checking to see the time. It was still relatively early but thought maybe see if Ben would give me a lift home in the next half hour or so. I felt a soft nudge.
Ben said with a small laugh.
I rolled my eyes at the nickname and just laugh a little. I asked him. I could see he was about to say something but stopped. He took a sip of his drink and nodded in my direction.He laughed while patting his newly acquired food baby.
I giggled a little and turned away from him. I looked to see Elizabeth and Nicholas in conversation. I smiled at them both, they were really nice people and were so welcoming. I couldn't help but think about how I had wished I had a family like this. Loving parents. Siblings. Anybody really that actually cared for me. I noticed everyone starting to get up. I regained myself from my thoughts as I seen Elizabeth grab my plate and fork taking them to the dish washer. I got up and followed her like a lost puppy. I needed to do my part after such a lovely meal. I was about to open my mouth until I heard her start to speak.
She asked with a wide bright smile.
I looked at my watch again seeing that it was about 7:45 .. and started to speak. I could see her move closer to me and pull me into a hug gosh I was so damn short. I was just below her breast which made me feel super awkward. We pulled away and she called for Ben.
I decided to pipe in now. I pulled away from Ben and moved closer to Elizabeth. I could see a big smile show to her face and she nodded happily. I quickly helped Elizabeth full the dishwasher and tidy the kitchen. I didn't see Nicholas anywhere.

And as if she read my mind Elizabeth spoke out.
Once we were finished Elizabeth grabbed a hold of my hand gently and guided me towards the family room. She is a very handsy person I noticed. We walked towards the room I could see the game set up , I watched as Ben started separating all the coloured money into its own pile. I jumped a little as I felt Elizabeth's hot breath in my ear whispering for me to go pick out my game piece before Ben could pick. I grinned a little and quickly went to the box grabbing the race car, I smiled at Elizabeth and showed it to her she smiled back brightly. I could hear ben complaining that the car was gone which made my smile even more . I picked my spot on the floor next to Elizabeth, it had been a very long time since I had played a board game. I heard Nicholas call for a Elizabeth to come to the kitchen quick. She got up and left quick she looked like she was a bit excited by his call for her.
I looked at Ben and I could just see him staring at me smiling. I squinted my eyes in confusion. .
He responded.
I took a pillow and threw it at him as my response, I got a laugh from him and a "Guess Not". A few minutes later I could hear Nicholas and Elizabeth coming down the hall. I watched as they entered the room. Nicholas was carrying a tray of coffee mugs. Next I could see Elizabeth walking in behind him with a big bowl of popcorn, she smiled at me as she walked towards her previous spot on the couch. She sat down and grabbed two mugs off the tray Nicholas was carrying earlier.

He had taken his seat next to Ben which was across from me. I gratefully accepted the turquoise coloured mug filled with the warm whipped cream filled liquid. I took a sip and could feel my taste buds burst. Man everything this couple makes tastes great. I tasted the warm creamy hot chocolate. Mmm so good. I could taste something in it but I couldn't really put my finger to what it was. It wasn't a horrible taste when drinking but it definitely had an interesting after taste.
We finally started the game I was already making sure to buy as many properties as I could. Ben had almost given me nearly all his money within the first 20 minutes of playing. It was so fun we all chatted and I nibbled on the popcorn while taking big gulps of my hot chocolate. I could feel myself yawning more and more as the game went on. I looked at my watch and noticed it was about quarter past 8 and we had still a lot more game to play. I wanted to win !
I could feel a hand rubbing my back as I yawned again. I looked at Ben as my eyes started to grow heavier. I said between yawns. I leaned my back against the couch and yawned again tiredly. I waited for a reply but got nothing back. I looked up to see if maybe he hadn't heard me but he was gone. I could feel the gentle fingers run through my hair, my eyes closed a little more. I suddenly heard Bens voice. I was about to ask why he called me sis, but I just felt so tired all of a sudden that I had no motivation to question it. Last thing I remembered before closing my eyes was Elizabeth's smile as she leaned down and kissed my forehead. Slumber had taken over.

Lucas didn't know what he wanted, but it certainly wasn’t to get dragged into the middle of a another world. Too bad for him the universe had different plans and now he has to deal with the consequences of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. At least it isn't all bad, he gets to finally make use of those cooking lessons he was dragged into. Chapters 1-4 are kind of like a prologue, they are self contained and only give some background information for the rest of the story.*********This is my first attempt trying to write any type of longer form story so I have no idea if any thing I produce will be readable, I've tried to make sure I have a decent level of grammar and there are no spelling mistakes, but if you do find any please let me know. I am also from the home of tea and crumpets (the uk) so if there are some u's and s's your not used to seeing thats probably it. Uh I dont really know what else to put in a story description so just give it a shot and let me know what you think, any pointers would be greatly appeciated.
