Chapter 4
She tried to push her boxes out so she could take one box in first and begin to unpack. It seemed so much easier in her mind. Ash had offered to unpack everything for her, but she wanted to show him that she was independent. Look how that turned out. When the boxes began to topple, she could only think, 'Oh shit.' And with that, she was buried under her boxes.
"Oh God!" Someone gasped.
Her mind echoed the same words. Now there would be witnesses to her failure. She heard three pairs of footsteps rushing up to her and she managed to sit up from under her mess. She sighed deeply. Great way to impress her probable neighbours. She was too prone to such clumsiness for some reason. She waited for them to laugh, but nothing came and she turned to them and her eyes widened.
In front of her stood both the Regis of the Arcadian and Katagaria Lykos Patria. As if it couldn't get any more embarrassing.
"You're..." Vane said and Bride looked in between them.
He walked up to her and pulled her out from the mess of boxes, causing her to look at him with wide eyes.
"Thank you." She said.
"It's fine." He said.
"You... know her?" Bride asked.
"Bride, this is the Regis of the Arcadian Balikos Patria." Vane said and Lyra turned to her.
"Hey, the name's Lyra Kattalakis. Please forget what you saw earlier..." She implored and Bride smiled.
"Already forgotten. Hello, my name's Bride. So you're our new neighbour." Bride said.
"Oh. Ash." Lyra frowned.
"Acheron?" Vane said and Lyra nodded.
"It's nothing. Say, we haven't been formally introduced." Lyra smiled.
"Vane Kattalakis and my brother, Fury. Bride is my mate." Vane said and Lyra nodded.
"Nice to meet you guys."
"You too." Bride said.
Lyra sighed and picked up two boxes, bringing them into her apartment. "I swear, it sounded so much more logical in my mind."
"Do you... need any help?" Bride asked.
"Nope. I'm fine. I'll get this done." Lyra replied with much determination and they stared at her.
He rolled his eyes at her attempt to be independent and he picked up some boxes, bringing them into her place.
"It's fine, really. You don't have to trouble yourself." She said.
"Two people can get the job done faster. Isn't that better?" He stared.
"Well yeah, but..."
"Let's just carry in the boxes." He said.
"Okay." She mumbled.
They were able to carry the boxes in within minutes and she turned to him, smiling like she had all those years ago.
"Thank you for helping me." She said and he shrugged.
"Nothing to it."
"I suppose my services will not be required then?"
