My Not Yet Mate

Chapter 60

She trailed after Felix to a classroom setup with several easels and painting supplies. He sat her right next to his desk as other students filed in.

“Do you happen to have any examples of what you can do? Every single one of these students were hand picked by me,” Felix said.

She nodded and reached into her bag. She pulled out her sketchbook and held it out. She felt a slight flutter in her head and she shut the link to Lukas. She was not ready for him to see what was in this book. He tried to open it and she kept a firm lock on it. She knew he would be frustrated, but this was Iser personal therapy. He put it on the table and opened it to the first sketch which was of Lukas. He turned the page and paused. She reached out to turn the page again. It hurt her to look at her daughter’s face, but she couldn’t resist drawing her. She turned the page again and her fingers trailed almost helplessly down the page where she had depicted Lukas holding Lucianna with her next to them. Felix tumed the page again and it was just Lucianna alone again. He raised his eyes to meet hers.

“Who’s the baby?”

Her heart started pounding and her chest started to get tight. “She’s my daughter.”

The room fell silent as the other students started to listen in. Felix narrowed his eyes.

“I was unaware that he had a child.”

She closed the book and put it back in her bookbag. “That’s none of your business.”

“How old are you,

Lilianna?”

ow what you’re thinking! She was conceived on my first time and the

She froze and she jumped to her feet. “DON’T! Don’t do that. She is not his! I know only first of mine he has is my kiss!” NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

She grabbed her bag and ran from the room as tears poured down her face. She stumbled and slammed into the lockers that lined the hallway outside of the room. She pulled her knees up to her chest and buried her face in them as she started to hyperventilate. Lukas tried again to open the link, sensing her distress, but she kept it closed. She didn’t want anything that just happened to cross through to him. She knew that the teacher was only concerned about the age gap between them, but that still didn’t give him a right to question her like that. The door softly clicked shut beside her and she felt someone sit next to her.

“I’m s

sorry for upsetting you. It was not my intention. It just shocked me when you said you had a daughter.” He touched her shoulder. “I won’t mention it again. You do really beautiful work and I can tell that you are very passionate about what you do. Take all the time you need. We are working on a landscape scene today.”

He squeezed her shoulder again and went back into the classroom. She kept her face buried as she took several deep breaths and counted slowly to ten. She opened the link again and she felt him hovering there. He was always hovering, waiting for her to acknowledge him.

‘I’m sorry, Lukas. I just… I’m sorry.”

‘Don’t be, Lils. Are you okay?”

She nodded, before laughing out loud. She forgot that when she linked the person couldn’t see her.

“Yeah. I’m alright. I’m about to go paint the mountains behind your castle.”

He chuckled. ‘Send it to me after?”

She smiled. ‘No.‘

He laughed again, but faded back. She stood up and squared her shoulders, before going back to her easel. The girl that sat at the one next to her

smiled at her.

**I’m Deborah. Ignore these other fuckers. I have a kid, too.”

Lily stared at the girl. “You have a kid?”

She nodded and dragged the black coated paint brush through the evergreen she was working on.

“I have a little boy. He’s almost 1. How old is your daughter?”

She grinned, “Does man kink ille C. Please tell me ves. You have the most beautiful blue eyes.”

“No! www should change that. My mate lowes my son more than his father does.” She shrugged. “Some men dicorse all the good things in the world. witile same. I

Libe thought about the schedule Aiden had passed to her right before she left the monopar’s office “Witer fourth period.”

Deborah clapped her hands together. “Perfect. So do we. I can’t wait for them to meet nu Gam/Kamiler and the one we have fondly nicknamed Light, because she’s such a bright spirit.”

“Light”

“Mmm. Then we have Kenny. He’s like one of the girls just a bed like..

She eyed the girl, suspiciously. What was she playing at She didnt know anything, antiher and she suddenly wanted to be friends? The last time she had trusted someone like that she was locked in

“I can see your worry. We won’t push you. You just look lost and wantoni wu can decide if you want to sit with us.”

She nodded. “Thanks”

stopped in front of the options, laughing out loud when she found herself having to choose between nachos and pizza with a side of mat and cheese. She walked out, her eyes instantly findling Dedierait sitting; an mitalike with lime other girls and the boy from the front hallway. She hesitated, before Gemma urged her to sit with them.

“Hey, Lily. I’m glad you sat with us. This is Kamlee, Ghz, Light and Kenny.”

She narrowed her eyes on the boy who was openly store, diler. “W’n net”

He flushed. “Sorry about that,” he mumbled.

“What did you do?

Light giggled. “Oh, that? He does that when he has a crush on a girl. We’ve all gotten that treatment.”

He stood up and grabbed his tray. “I’ll see you guys later.”

She felt irritation cross into her mind, before Lukas shut the link. She timidly pressed on it and it opened without hesitation. He didn’t say anything She wanted to reassure him, but she wasn’t sure how. What could she say to ease his anger?

‘Lukas?

‘Yeah, Lily?

‘Don’t respond, but I love you, okay?”

She felt him relax and his love flowed through the link. He wrapped her up in a hug and she was left missing him even more. She glanced around at the girls

“I’m Lily,”

Light leaned forward towards her. “Goddess, it’s about time. 6 is an even number. Everything is better when it’s even.”

Lily laughed, relaxing. It was too early to be sure, but Gemma already trusted these girls and Lily wanted to, too. She sighed as sadness crept up. The last time she had made a friend, she had been so excited to rush home to tell Lukas. Things were different now and she was still holding herself away from him. She needed to figure out what to do about Lucianna. Maybe she could get her back and he wouldn’t hate her. She looked around at her new friends. This was going to be a big step, trusting someone again, but she was determined to do her best.
