alright, I feel much better now,” Jerome said resting his hand on Edolie’s cheek, “now that you’re here.” Edolie looked cute when she blushed and Jerome couldn’t resist kissing her. Her lips were soft and sweet. He wrapped his other arm around her waist as she rested her hands on his shoulders.
Jerome was glad Edolie had come to check on him. She was the only thing that could save him from his feelings toward Wilhelmina. Every time he kissed her , he fell more in love with her. Jerome knew that he had to avoid Wilhelmina at all costs and keep his feelings for Edolie strong if he wanted to avoid the powers of the curse.
Walking back to her room, Wilhelmina noticed Jerome’s door was open and looked in to see how things were going, only to quickly walk away. Her face turned bright red from seeing such a scene and her mind quickly rewound to when she kissed her mystery man at the Masquerade Ball . She blushed and hurried back to her room. She secretly hoped Milly had given up searching for her mysterious man. A good distraction was what she needed.
Chapter 7
When Wilhelmina arrived to her room, she found a very excited Milly. Her words ran together and Wilhelmina had no idea what she was talking about. Milly was walking around Wilhelmina’s room , sitting down on her bed, standing up, opening her dresser drawers, looking at her clothes, and even walking in and out of Wilhelmina’s bathroom. Milly must have found somet hing interesting to cause this much excitement. The last time she went this crazy was when she found out Wilhelmina wasn’t to be the next queen. That, however, was angry crazy, this was definitely excitement.
“Milly!” Wilhelmina shouted to quiet her friend . If she wanted to know what was going on, she’d need Milly to calm down. Silence fell upon the room and Milly turned to face Wilhelmina. Wilhelmina sighed, “Slow down, now who is this Lord Melanthius?”
“Sorry,” Milly said realizing she had been rambling. She then sat down on Wilhelmina’s bed , which was where she had placed th e book she found in the library. Milly picked up the book, “I found this book in the library.” She held up the book so Wilhelmina could see.
“ Enchantresses and Sorcerers ” Wilhelmina read the big gol d le tters on the front of the thick black book. She then sat down next to her freckle faced friend .
“Yes and well …” Milly said trying to figure out how to explain it, “Oh well you have to read it!” She opened the book to the page titled Lord Endymion Melanthius and then placed it in Wilhelmina’s lap. She had the page memorized since she quite intrigued by it.
“You’re not going to leave until I do are you?”
“I want to talk about it once you’re don e, it’s not that long ,” Milly said pointing at the page. Wilhelmina sighed and began reading. Though s he didn’t appreciate Milly looking over her shoulder and breathing down her back, she couldn’t help but be interested in knowing who Lord Melanthius was since he had caused Milly to dance around the room like a crazy person .
Like Milly, Wilhelmina became absorbed in the story. She also hadn’t know n that her parents had once had a sorcerer. After reading the short excerpt in the book , she wanted to know more about Lord Melanthius, but there that was the only information the book had . It was just a reference book after all.
At least now Wilhelmina knew where the lumairas in her mother’s garden had come from. She always thought they were pretty flowers. Lumairas were the only flower known to glow a bright pink at night.
“So, what do you think? Why wouldn’t your parents have told us about this Lord Melanthius person?” Milly asked as Wilhelmina closed the book.
“I don’t know, b ut more importantly, don’t you think they’d be worried he’d try and come back if he is so powerful that he could turn plants into living things?”
“I was wondering that too, he seems
