Sapphires and Desires (The Gem Fairy Series Book 1) by Tarisa Marie Page A

up getting prepared for his next semester and does his laundry and cleans his apartment, as per my request. Then Damon runs him back home in a car that I have no idea where it came from. Geoff still looked insanely pale when he left but I guess that’s what happens when you lose so much blood. He still refused to eat much of anything and claimed that his stomach just wasn’t up to it yet. I really didn’t blame him. He drank a lot of water ate a couple puddings, again, as per my request. Damon glamoured him to forget about the lady he met at the club, thankfully. Geoff promised he’d come back in a couple weeks when he’s done working over the break and help me move my stuff out of my apartment before it gets moved by the school. Where I’m moving it to is the next question.
    Damon disappears for a couple days, says he has some important business to deal with and I only hope that he means dealing with that crazy vampire that bit Geoff but I somehow doubt it. Having a couple days all to myself makes everything seem almost normal again until one morning I wake up with my whole body tingling like when your foot falls asleep except for my whole body. It lasts for about an hour before it stops and then I can suddenly hear people down on the street talking. I mean like I suddenly have some freakish super hearing. Which was kind of cool for the first couple hours as I listened in on some pretty weird conversations but it wasn’t so cool after that when I was trying to fall asleep and could hear everyone in the building doing stuff till three in the morning and then woke up at six to the annoying chatter again. And it isn’t just chatter I hear, it’s the clinking of plates, TVs, toilets flushing, people having sex, microwaving food, farting. Yeah okay, I think I’ve made my point. It sucks to have super hearing even though it sounds awesome.
    When Damon finally returns he helps me control it…a little. I wonder how he could stand to be in that club with the blasting music all night. We spend the next week hanging out, you know shopping, watching movies, playing board game and turns out I really like the guy. He’s not just sexy, he’s fun, cute, tough, sensitive, brave, strong, funny, and everything you could ever want in a man. Guess that’s why I married him back in the day. For those few days with him, we don’t talk about the fae, or anything out of my world. It’s nice. I wish it could always be like this. If things were normal and we were normal, I can’t help but wonder if Damon would make a good boyfriend. But I don’t have time for that now. Funny how I shot him and then days later decide he might be good boyfriend material. Yeah, my life is pretty messed up right now.
    “Hey, you’re cheating.” I accuse him with a giggle.
    “How?” he asks with a smirk.
    “You can’t do that. You have to move your guy here.” I explain moving his player over three spaces.
    “Why?” He questions. I know that he’s faking dumb, I know he knows the rules because we’ve played this game a million times in the last couple days.
    “Because…you can’t go backwards unless you roll a six. Anyways, why would you even want to move backwards? Those rolls are meant to make you lose. You can’t get to the finish by going backwards.” I cry.
    “Why not? It’s closer behind me than it is ahead of me.” He laughs.
    “Uggh.” I exaggerate.
    “You complain a lot you know that?” He teases.
    I shrug and we are silent for a moment.
    “So… when are you going to tell me that we have to leave?” I ask him.
    “Leave?”
    “Yeah back to your world.” I elaborate.
    He sighs. “ Our world. And soon. Another week maybe. “As you found out, time moves slower in our world. A month is equal to about two days. So really we’ve only been gone for half a day we’ve only been here for a little over a week I believe.”
    “So if I went to Andaglon and stayed there for six uh fae months would I look almost 8 years older
