Chapter 25: Time To Go
Completely embarrassed and tongue-tied, Sera hurried back into the dressing room to get dressed. After dressing she compacted like Lucien was invisible and went straight to the check out counter. Lucien watched with an amused smirk on the corner of his lips.

By the time they got back together with the girls Sera had calmed down and was able to face them without saying a word about the incident. "Guys I'm feeling tired so I'm going to go home and rest." Sera confessed to the girls and hopefully Lucien would leave her be. Lucien was back to his cold demeanor and stayed silent. Isabella and Hannah both had disappointed looks on their faces , but quickly recovered with smiles. "Did you walk? We could give you a ride?" Hannah asked gently. "Sure I'd love some extra girl time since we had a guy with us most of the time." Sera eyed Lucien, who didn't even flinch at the mention of his interruption.
Once they parted ways and got to the car, the girls looked at Sera expectantly. "Okay, something happened so spill." Izzy demanded with a giddy tone. Sera looked like a deer caught in headlights and quickly said, "He saw me in my bra and then helped me pick the one I bought." After she was done speaking she turned red and hid her face in her hands.
"Aww. Someone finally saw those great tits you have. That you keep hidden all the time." Hannah teased lovingly and lightly pushed Sera's shoulder. Sera turned even more red than when she was remembering the events from earlier. Today was an embarrassing day to say the least and she was ready to get it over and done with. "Not completely, but yeah." She needed to change the subject so she chose the purchases the girls made which would make the car ride better hopefully.

Once in her room she threw herself onto her bed and screamed into the mattress to relieve some of her pent up anxiety. What in the hell overcame her
when she was with Lucien? Acting that brazen isn't how she typically acts, but it felt good to be that ballsy. Then what about that moment? It was so surreal, but it was real. It really did happen and it was the most amazing thing in the world. The taste of mint and coffee still lingered on her tongue. She could still feel the strength of his grip on her waist.
*knock, knock*
"Hey it's Jack. Are we still doing our lessons today or no?"
Sera quickly got up and got to her door still wearing her coffee stained shirt. "Hey, I just got home from the mall. I need to change really fast and then I will meet you outside." Sera quickly explained as she opened the door. Jack looked somewhat confused and then he noticed the stain in the chest area of her plain white t-shirt. "I see, well we don't have to practice today if you don't feel up to it." He scratched the back of his head as he was talking hoping that his staring at the stain went unnoticed.
"Oh no I need the distraction and I would feel more comfortable the sooner I'm proficient in my magical skills." She smiled brightly at him and added, "I'll be down in about 5 mins or you could wait out here and we can go together." It seemed that Jack liked the idea of going together, but he sensed a change in Sera and he wanted to find out what. "I'll wait. I have some questions as to why you need magic to distract you?" There was an icy undertone to his words and Sera shivered slightly at his words. She nodded enthusiastically and shut the door.
Rummaging through her clothes she found a loose fitting band t-shirt and quickly changed into it. 'Why is he acting Lucien-like all of a sudden? Well they are brothers, so I guess similarities don't stop there.' Her thoughts ended as she remembered he was right outside her room waiting. She went out the door and shut it behind her, "Let's go."
"I didn't know that you liked Metallica." Jack was looking at her shirt as he was talking. Instinctively she covered her chest with her forearms. Making her look similar to a 5 year old pouting. Seeing this side of her made Jack want to hold her and make everything perfect so she wouldn't act like that. At the same time he was impressed in her taste of music.
Once outside they got into their practice poses and began stretching their bodies. Like any physical activity, being limber is a must for efficiency and stamina. "Today's lesson is levitation and there will be a quiz at the end." At the mention of quiz Sera rolled her eyes and let out an annoyed sigh. Jack again thought she was acting immature, yet he was drawn to this type of behavior when she presented it.
