His Incurable Omega novel Chapter 9

He didn't wait for my answer instead he turned around with a distorted face, not before spitting, "Stay away from me Omega."

I stood there and watched him leave.

Lizzy came up behind me.

She silently stood by my side as we both watched the retreating figure.

Without saying a word she leaned her head down and placed it on my shoulder. I rested my own head on hers and took a deep breath.

"He left," I said in a small voice to Lizzy.

"I heard," she answered back.

We stood like that for a while, getting curious glances from workers as they passed by. But for just a moment I needed to stop and let my bleeding heart stop its stutter.

I heard Anna-Lee's voice in my head, Maybe this will remind you of what you are.

And then I heard mother's voice. So fragile and faint now, just a whisper to me, but I could still draw it and remember. My Darling you must be the Sun.

I took another deep breath and another.

Then Lizzy and I broke off.

"We need to work," I smiled at her.

"Fayette..." Lizzy hesitantly spoke and looked at my eyes with sadness and regret. "I shouldn't have said anything. It's my fault he left and was like that. I just got excited and words started pouring out of my mouth and-"

"It's okay Lizzy," I said, patting her on the shoulder.

Lizzy bit her bottom lip and looked down at our shoes. "I was just so happy that people were finally starting to realize how wonderful you are."

I laughed out loud and embraced her.

"I love you, Lizzy," I said without thinking.

Lizzy laughed with me and hugged me back. "I LOVE YOU FAYETTE!" She screamed. Some disgusted groans and a few gasps of horror could be heard from the workers who were in the ballroom watching our public display of affection.

I looked around in alarm and whispered to Lizzy, "You know this is sister love right?"

Lizzy mocked a hurt look and put a hand over her heart, "She rejects my love! How quickly you dismiss what we have!"

I giggled and burst out laughing.

Other workers started in on the fun. Some catcalling, others yelling at me playfully to accept Lizzy's poor love.

The fun stopped though with the man in charge of overseeing, Mr. Joseph, running in and yelling, "THE PRINCE IS HERE!" He ran around the room frantic yelling the words over and over.

"The Prince?" Lizzy said confused. "But we set up the Ceremony thinking that the Prince wouldn't be here?"

She looked at me, but my only response was to shrug.

Mr. Joseph kept running around, yelling that a throne chair needed to be added for the Prince, a place at the table needed to be set, and several important guests were with him that also needed seats.

The whole room burst into chaos then as the month of work quickly fell down the drain- turning into a week left to get the Ceremony ready.

We were ready for the Ceremony.

I saw Lizzy then down the hall, struggling to walk straight with piles of vegetables stacked in her arms.

"Lizzy!" I yelled, running to her.

She turned around to me and smiled.

"Come to help finally?" She joked.

I gave a small chuckled before reaching for the carrots and potatoes piled in a basket, leaving her the lettuce.

"Come on then," Lizzy said, motioning for me to follow her.

We went to the kitchen and deposited all the vegetables.

"Do you need help peeling?" I asked one of the cooks. We had only added to the enormous amount of food sitting waiting to be washed and cooked.

"Get out of my Kitchen!" He yelled, brandishing his knife that he had been using to cut carrots.

Lizzy stuck her tongue out at the man and wiggled it in his direction, "No need to be rude Lefair!"

Lafair continued growling at us and waving his knife, but I knew now with Lizzy's playful banter that he meant no harm.

"Have you girls explored the castle yet?" He asked us.
