True Love - Scarlet Vance (best books for 7th graders txt) 📗

“For a 16-year-old, you can be very persuasive.”

“Will you come or not?”

“I will come with you to Redcap, but I’m not meeting your father at the cross roads.”

“You don’t have to worry about my father.”

Quinn got up and walked over to the desk. She got a piece of parchment out and wrote a note to her father telling him not to stop at the cross roads. She walked back over to the bed and lay on Trixter's chest again. They fell asleep.

~♥~

Quinn woke up before dawn, but she still got dressed. Trixter woke up when Quinn started to get dressed and watched her. When she was done washing her face, Trixter started to get dressed. She combed through her hair. Trixter walked over to her and kissed her. While Trixter packed Quinn walked down stairs and put the note on the table. He was at the bottom of the stairs when she came out of the kitchen. She took her bag from him. They walked to the stables and got there horses ready for the long ride ahead of them. Quinn got on her horse and waited for Trixter. When he got on his horse, she took off.

They rode ‘til Trixter got hungry. They stopped by a river in the middle of a field. Trixter was filling up some canteens he packed. Quinn pushed him into the shallow end of the river when he wasn’t looking. Trixter was drenched. Quinn was laughing so hard tear started to fill her eyes. Trixter got out, picked her up, and jumped back into the river. They kissed each other. After taking a breath, they chuckle and kiss again.

“Hello Quinn,” some dark figure on a horse said.

“Who are you?” she asked.

“Why, you don’t remember me? I was the one who helped you through the test in the Tower of High Secrecy in Hunter’s Forest,” the figure said as he got off his horse and drew back his hood.

“Demetri!” Quinn shouted.

She got out of the river, ran and practically jumped into his arms. Demetri kissed the top of Quinn's head. Trixter got out of the river in the same minute. Quinn started to blush and she went to comfort Trixter.

“It’s been ages or at least that’s what it feels like,” Quinn said when Trixter was under control of his emotions.

“Yes, that’s what it feels like. You look so much more beautiful.”

“Thank you. You look more dashing than ever.”

“Thank you. Where are you heading?”

“We’re going to Redcap to visit some friends.”

“May I accompany you on your ride?”

“Of course,” Quinn said looking up at Trixter to see if he agrees.

“Yes, you may,” Trixter said in a dark voice.

Demetri smiled with pleasure. Quinn smiled back and rubbed Trixter's arm some more. Trixter's muscles were so tight the Demetri could see them through his wet shirt. Quinn stood on her toes and kissed him. Trixter relaxed after that. Demetri raised one eyebrow and frowned. Quinn started to get on her horse when Demetri spoke up.

“You should let your clothes dry before we ride,” which made Trixter tense up again.
