“I'm sorry. I was walking by and saw the door open. When I peeked inside and saw you three inside, I came in.” She explains, but she doesn't sound all that sorry. If anything, she sounds irritated, and I grin inwardly.
I stop outside the door and turn toward her, brushing a straggling strand of her hair behind her ear, “Why don't you take your food up to my room, and we will be there in a minute.”
“Oakley...”
“Kitty Cat,” I say her name in warning, “There are some things that we cannot tell you and some places where you cannot go, “Rules are rules.”
Her lips kick up in a devilish grin, “Rules are made to be broken. I thought we established that when we started fucking.”
I laugh, “As true as that may be, past Lords have made it hard to break some rules, so be a good girl and go to my room.” I tip her chin and kiss her lips firmly before letting her go and stepping away.
“Fine, but you're going to owe me later...stab wound or not...I want a reward.” She looks over her shoulder at me and grins.
Readjusting myself, I join my friends in the Lord's Chamber again, “Damn woman...”
Fynn chuckles, “You too, huh?”
“I don't know what you're talking about,” I scowl.
“Just fucking admit it, Oak. You are falling for her just as much as we are.” He grins, and I roll my eyes.
“Whatever. It doesn't mean we have to have a fucking pajama party and talk all about our crushes.” I study Kevin's face on the plaque, but my mind is on Catalina Scott.
“We are well past the crush phase, my friend,” Jett snickers and slaps me on the back.
“Can we just get back to why we are here?” The last thing I need is to admit to feelings I don't know how to deal with.
“Fine, but we will need to discuss it at some point, Oak,” Jett states, and I sigh because I know that my friends are right. We need to talk this shit out, but I'm not ready for that talk yet.
“What were you guysdoing in that room? I thought you were watching the videos,” my Kitty Cat starts in as soon as we walk back into the room.
“The video we were looking for isn't among all these others. It's missing,” I tell her.
“So, what now?” she scoops a mouthful of noodles into her mouth.
“We went down to see who the Lords were the year before our fathers...” I say, but then Jett cuts me off.
“Wait a minute...those names on the plaque...” I watch his eyes focus on a nearby wall as he thinks, “I've seen them before.”
“Where at? Are you sure they were the same names?” I ask.
“Yes! When we were in Mr. Scott's office, I found the envelope with the note about the Lord's safe under some files that I thought were insignificant at the time.”
“Which files were those?” Fynn asks this time.
“Douglas, Simmons, and Gifford. Those were the files of the Lords from the year before...damn it! Why didn't I think to look through them?” my friend curses.
“Calm down! How were you to know that we would need them?” I question.
“They were sitting on top of the envelope meant for us!” Jett's not going to go easy on himself over this. He gets so pissed when he fucks up, even if it's not his fault.
“I can get them,” Kitty Cat states as she sets aside her food.
“Kitty Cat, you don't...”
“No, let me do this! After all, it's my father's office, so it's no big deal,” she shrugs.
I'm sitting in the chair at my desk, and I swivel it around to face her, “Come here, Kitty Cat.”
