"And just let me know." Holden said.
"Ok, Amanda's arm and hand show no signs of nerve damage." Alicia said as she reached the stairs. "So what do you want to eat Amanda?" She asked. "Anything." Amanda said still very tired. |
"Well that's helpful Alicia..I need you to watch her movements carefully, you don't need to report to me or anything, just watch her. I'll analyze your memory once she's finished." He went over to the bed and sat down, allowing himself to lay back on the mattress. "I will keep you updated Holden."
|
"Well neah." Alicia said trying to keep herself from sticking out her tongue.
"Thanks Solomon. I'm on my way back now." Holden said as he got into his car. |
Solomon sat up, looking at his watch. Holden should be back by now. Right? "Are you almost here Holden? Amanda really misses you."
|
I'm pulling into the driveway right now. I wanted to pick something up for Amanda." Holden said as he turned off the car. He got out of the car and went into the house, "I'm..." He started to say but was tackled by Amanda.
"Holden!" Amanda yelled as she hugged him. "Ow well hey there kid." Holden said hugging her back. "I got you something." He said reaching for one of the bags. He pulled out a teddy. "Surprise." Holden said with a smile. "A new teddy!" She said grabbing it and giving it a hug. "Ya now can you please get off of me your knee is digging into my ribs." Holden said with a sound of discomfort. |
Solomon headed downstairs as he heard Holden enter the door. He winced a bit as Amanda tackled him to the ground, "She's got a lot of power in the little body." He chuckled a bit, crossing his arms over his chest boredly. "As I scanned Alicia's memories, I noticed she has a very slight delay in her finger movements..the signal takes about.. .01 millionths of a second longer to reach her muscles. It shouldn't hinder her any, and she shouldn't be able to notice it."
|
"Ow ya she does." Holden said as he stood up rubbing his ribs. "That's good, ow I think she might of cracked one of my ribs." He said with a slight smile. "The funeral is in two days, and I have Amanda's trust fund set up, and I have reading materials." He said picking up three bags. "Oh ya Amanda, I have someone coming over tomorrow to look at the house." He said looking at his watch, "I need to start packing stuff." He said as he rubbed Amanda's head and went to his dad's office.
|
Solomon nodded, "Indeed she does. Oh, Alicia, since it's apartment that everyone's moving into my house, you're more than welcome if you think you'll get lonely at your place." He shrugged, watching the two, "I just hope Jaclynn will leave her alone now."
|
"I will have to see." Alicia said as she grabbed Amanda's hand and led her to her bedroom. "For now she will." Alicia said walking up the stairs.
Holden ignored Solomon as he entered his dad's office. He closed the door and leaned on it, he slowly fell to the ground. He pulled his knees up to his chest and started to quietly cry. |
Solomon knew Holden was upset, and crying, but he had the feeling that Holden wanted to just be alone for awhile. He gave Holden's brain a slight squeeze, "I'm here if you need me, but I'll let you have your alone time if you want it." With that he pulled his link from Holden.

"You excited to almost be in England Amanda?" Holden asked with a smile. "Umm ya." Amanda said slightly scared. "What's wrong?" He asked concerned. "Its just that we are really high up." She said looking out the window. "We are safe ok? Why don't you take a nap and me and you can go exploring." Holden said with a smile. "I guess." Amanda said leaning her head on Holden's shoulder. He looked to Solomon, "Thank you for helping me with everything." He said kissing Solomon's shoulder teasingly. "Thank you as well Alicia." Holden said as he leaned his head on Solomon's shoulder. "Your welcome but don't forget to buy me a car." She said squeezing Holden's brain gently. |
"Any time Holden...You know I'd do anything to make you happy." He let his head rest against the chair as the plane soared over the Atlantic. "We'll be landing in London in just a few more hours. I have a school in mind that she could attend, if you wanted to check it out later?"
|
"Ya that sound good, but it will have to be after I show her around London a little bit." Holden said with a smile as he closed his eyes. He was quite exhausted, he hasn't slept very much over the past two and a half weeks. "I love you Solomon." Holden said in a whisper as he fell into a light sleep.
|
He nodded, kissing Holden lightly as he fell asleep. "..love you too Holden." He sighed a bit, looking over to Alicia, "I hope we figure out something for Amanda soon..she's a sharp girl, she'll notice something odd about us soon.."
*** Solomon gently shook Holden's shoulder as the plane prepared to land, "Holden, wake up. We're landing." |
"I know Solomon, I have been keeping an eye on her brain and she hasn't noticed anything strange other then Holden isn't getting enough sleep, he hasn't fed since we left London over two weeks ago either. But that's not his fault he has been under a lot of stress lately. It is wearing him down, and I hope to god he doesn't crack under the pressure." Alicia said looking at Solomon.
*** "Ok." Holden said as he opened his eyes. "Amanda? Wake up kid." He said gently shaking her. Amanda jolted awake, "What?" She said crabby. "Now don't take that tone with me, we are landing now." Holden said with a smile. |
Solomon stood once the plane had landed and his pilot claimed it was safe to disembark. He stretched out, moving out of the way for Holden and Amanda, "You guys can head home, I have to discuss a few things with Janice."
|
"Ok." Holden said as he placed a kiss on Solomon's cheek. He carried Amanda to the Ferrari and put her in the back seat. "Now we are gonna go home and I' m gonna take a shower and put on clean clothes, ok?" He asked as he got in.
"Okie, its really pretty here already." Amanda said with a smile. "Told you." Holden said as he waited for Alicia to get in before he drove off. When she was in the car he drove off. |
Solomon leaned on the doorway between the cockpit and the cabin, "Wonderful job Jan, and thank you for coming on such short notice..I'm sorry."
She jumped, "Ah! Solomon, you surprised me. It's no problem really! Is..there something wrong though? You usually don't linger." "I need your..special talents, love. She's on my tail again, and I don't mean Jac... I was curious if you could do me a few..favors." The woman nodded, saluting Solomon as she stood, "Understood sir. You know, you'll have to..take care of her permanently someday." Solomon frowned, "I could never hurt her..." He gave Janice a wave and disappeared, appearing up in his study waiting for Holden and the others to arrive while he pondered. |
Holden arrived at Solomon's house, he pulled into the drive way and got out. "Well at least the garage is almost finished, I feel bad that my cars are littering his lawn." He said as he headed to help Amanda out of the car. He picked her up and headed into the house. "Well here we are." Holden said putting Amanda down.
"It's so big." Amanda said very excited. |
Solomon looked to where the driveway was located, even though he was now looking at the wall, "Took them longer than I expected..perhaps they took a detour." He headed down the stairs, opening the door, "You guys are sllooww~"
|
"Usually you like slow." Holden said with a wink. He kissed Solomon on the lips, "You just missed us that's all." He said as he playfully slapped Solomon's butt.
"God Holden what am I gonna have to do spray you down with a hose?" Alicia said rubbing her eyes. "Don't get me started with that." Holden said with a smile. Alicia face palmed herself, "Give me your keys." She said extending her hand. "Why?" He asked. "So you don't corrupt Amanda anymore then you already have." Alicia said picking up Amanda and grabbing the keys to one of the cars from Holden's jacket pocket. "Solomon take care of him." Alicia said as she walked out of the door. |
Solomon bit his lip as Holden spoke, "You know it baby" He winked, laughing at Alicia, "My dear, this is what you get for hooking us up. It's you're fault you're subjected to this." He pulled Holden close and kissed him rather passionately, "Seeing as the kids are gone..?" He gave another wink.
|
Holden kissed Solomon back, "Hmm let's see we have done teacher and we have done it in a shower, many times, and on a couch. Let's do something different do you have any ideas?" He said with lust filled eyes.
|
"I've got plenty" He forced Holden to the floor, pinning his wrists together above his head with a wink, "I feel a touch of roughness coming on~"
|
"I think we need to get you some hand cuffs." Holden said with a dirty smile. "I love it when your rough." He said biting his lip.
*** "Well I think you bruised my ass." Holden said with a sly smile. He started putting on his pants. "Hurry Alicia and Amanda are back." He said putting his shirt on quickly and grabbing his shoes and socks. He sat down on the stairs and winced, "Ya you bruised it." Holden said as he put on his shoes. "It's a good thing I read those medical books." Holden said as he sent his blood to repair the damaged cells. |
Solomon winked, "I'll bruise more than that next time." He quickly threw on his pants and shirt, not bothering to button it. He followed Holden down the stairs, tempted to slap him. Oh yeah, he's going to do it. Before Holden could heal much Solomon threw out his hand, swatting him on the ass, "You know you love the bruises."
|
Holden jumped when Solomon smacked his ass, he almost fell down the stairs but caught his balance and jumped the rest of the stairs. "Maybe I do love them but you better watch out cause maybe next time I will bruise you." He said with a wink.
Alicia walked in the front door, and heard the tail end of what Holden said. "Seriously you two we have been gone for 45 minutes and your still going at it?" She said putting one hand on her hip, the other one was holding Amanda. "What does 'going at it' mean?" Amanda asked innocently. "Ya Alicia, what does it mean?" He said enjoying the fact that he was torturing her. "Scrabble, it means they are still playing scrabble." Alicia said stammering. "Does that mean they were having sex?" She asked. Alicia was astounded by Amanda. Holden busted out laughing at Alicia, "Oh my god that is so funny. To answer your question Amanda yes that's what it means. Now go get cleaned up, me and Solomon are gonna go look at a school for you. When we get back I'm gonna make you supper." Holden said with a smile. "Okies." Amanda said as she ran for the bathroom. |
Solomon stopped dead in his tracks as Holden answered Amanda, "Ah.." He quickly closed his mouth and looked to Alicia with an apologetic look. He opened his mouth again, but once more shut it as he hurried out the door, rather..embarrassed by the fact at Amanda was..aware. He had no idea why, really, Alicia's walked in on him, and hundreds of others have, but for some reason the fact that Amanda got what was going it really creeped him out.
|
Holden looked at Alicia with a confused look on his face.
"I don't know, maybe he is embarrassed by the fact that a six year old knows what you two were just doing." Alicia said as she went to find Amanda. "Really?" Holden asked as he teleported to Solomon. "What's wrong?" He asked sweetly. "Amanda already knows about sex my parents gave her that talk when she was five. She was making out with every boy and a few girls. Anyway its nothing to be embarrassed about love." He said with a sigh. "She walked in on mom and dad once and she thought they were gonna make her a big sister." Holden said with a smile trying to cheer up Solomon. |
Solomon chuckled, running his hand through his hair, "It just kind of creeps me out that she's six and she knows." He shuddered, realizing he had no shoes, "I am not going back in there..." He buttoned up his shirt, heading over to a shiny black Corvette; the one he had in America. "I figured I'd ship mine over while I was at it, although I only have two."
|
Holden sighed contently, "And look at it this way in a day the garage will be done so they wont be on your lawn." He said with a smile as he followed Solomon. He got into the car, "I just feel bad that your lawn is cluttered with beautiful cars." He said with a smile. "That's right I need to get a safer car." Holden said to himself.
|
"My lawn is not cluttered, it is decorated." He smiled, getting in the car and turning the key, "Come on, I already called the Headmaster while I was waiting for you to arrive. She said she'd be happy to give you a tour."
Once Holden was in the car, Solomon drove off, driving rather slow and normal. After a few minutes they arrived at the school. "Well, here we are. She's guaranteed admission if you like the school.." |
"Wow I feel so under dressed." Holden said looking up at the tell building. "Do they know about our situation or do they just care that I can pay her tuition?" He asked still flabbergasted at the size of the school. "Also as long as she isn't pitied it would be fine. Um can I go home and change I feel like a slob, I haven't showered in two days. That plus I'm sure I smell of sex." Holden said in a whisper.
|
"Holden..ugh..fine.." He sighed, "Go shower..and then teleport back here. Alright? I'll be waiting. And you look fine, it's not as..high end as it looks..I'll be talking with Marsha while you're gone. Just come find me when you get back alright?" He kissed Holden and got out of the car, not caring if he didn't have shoes.
|
Holden kissed Solomon back and teleported to his room. He grabbed a few clean clothes and quickly hopped into the shower. He took the fastest shower he has ever done. He quickly dried off and put on a pair of jeans and a white shirt under a button down shirt. He quickly teleported back to Solomon's car, and sniffed for Solomon. He found him but was a little nervous to just walk up to him and the woman. He took a deep breath and walked over to Solomon. "Hello, I'm Holden Evans." Holden said extending his hand.
|
The tall, slender brunette looked over to Holden shaking his hand with a smile, "It's pleasure to meet you Holden. Solomon has told me quite a bit about you and Amanda; she sounds wonderful. Well, shall we get started?"
Solomon nodded, stepping aside, "Indeed..I'll be waiting somewhere around campus Holden. Just relax." He smiled and watched the two as they walked off. Marsha held up her clipboard, showing Holden around the campus, starting with cafeteria, "We only serve our students the best, not like your schools in America, no offense. Some of the stuff that's allowed there horrifies me." She shuddered. |
"Yes." Holden said lacing his hands behind his back. "I'm trying." He said listening to the woman. "No offense taken ma'am, I always pack her a lunch as well as one for me when I was in school. I felt better knowing that she was eating better then the other children." He smiled, "If I may ask what has Solomon told you about us?" Holden asked not letting his smile go.
|
She laughed, "Well that's good. A healthy lunch is always offered here. Just stuff here and there, sorry if I can't elaborate...to tell you the truth, half the time I wasn't listening, and he knows it. I like to learn about the person, or people, myself." She smiled, leading him out back to the grounds which were well landscaped, "This is where students can spend their free period[s] if they don't have a mode of transportation to go elsewhere. We also like to have a class or two for them outside if possible, just to give them some fresh air and the likes."
|
Holden smiled, "It's ok I just wanted to make sure he didn't say some nasty things about me." He said with a laugh. He looked around and was taken aback at the beautiful grounds. "Wow this is very beautiful." He said in awe.
*** After the tour was done he followed the woman to her office to discuss things further. He saw Solomon, "This place is like a flipping paradise." He said with a smile. "I think Amanda would like it here." Holden said as he took a seat across from the woman. He winced, "You know my ass is still tender." Holden said with a slight glare to Solomon. |
Solomon smiled a bit, "It's very nice here...I hope she does, or we could always try another."
Marsha handed Holden a folder, "Here's everything that you'll need to fill out and get from her doctor and all that fun stuff. Is there anything else that I can do for you?" |
