Kallos (Kallos Series) - By Khelsey Jackson Page 0,54

grinning from ear to ear. Out of the corner of her eye, she glances at Ian, and he is trying not to glare at Sean. Sean sits in the only open seat next to her dad.

“You’re in a good mood this morning,” her dad says as he sets his coffee down on the table a little too hard.

“I am! It’s a beautiful day; the birds are singing; and the sun is shining. Oh, and I got to wake up to your daughter's beautiful face.” Kallos' mouth falls open, and she wants to kick Sean under the table, but she doesn’t think that her legs are long enough.

She glances at her dad, and he looks like he is going to rip off Sean's head. Of course, it doesn't help that Sean is grinning like a mad man. She hears her mom coughing to hide her laugh. Kallos quickly eats her food.

“We should get going,” Kallos stands up. She wants out of this house and away from her dad's evil looks at Sean and her mom’s knowing grin. The boys stand up and nod. At least they are smart enough to agree with her. They grab their backpacks.

Yesterday, they figured out if they went a certain way it was shorter, plus no one could see them. She is sure the rumors about them are getting out of hand, but she is starting not to care. It still scares her that she’s in love with two boys, but on the other hand, it’s also flattering. She has these two amazing boys who are in love with her, and she knows that they would do anything for her. Kallos knows that she can't be with both of them forever. She wants to be married and have a family, but she doesn't even know if she can have a family after the change. That is something she needs to ask Aphrodite.

“You’re in deep thought. What’s on your mind, Babe?” Sean puts his hand on her shoulder to get her to stop. Kallos is still facing forward, and she doesn’t know how to answer his question. There is something that is bothering her.

“How are we going to work this out?” Kallos turns around to look at them. They both are looking at her, and the love she sees in both of their eyes almost knocks her off her feet. She has always seen that same loving look on her parent’s faces. It makes her stop breathing for a moment. Kallos clears her throat, “I mean, what if I want to grab one of your hands, and then later on I want to hold the other’s hand? What are we going to tell people?” Both of them give her an almost identical killer smile.

“Hey, you do what you want. As for what people think of us, I really don’t care. The only thing that matters is that you love us. Kallos, we are meant to be together, and most of those people know that. Why do you think that you got all those strange looks on your first day? It isn’t because of your dad; it was because of us. We thought you were one of our soul mates, but you turned out to be both of ours. I’m not saying it won’t be hard, but I’m not going to let anyone get to me. I’ve waited way too long for you.” She looks at Ian in amazement because everything he just said made so much sense.

The only thing that matters to Kallos is they love her, and they do. Nothing else matters. Ian moves closer to her and puts his left hand on her cheek. “If anyone says anything to you that hurts you, you let Sean and me know.” Her right eyebrow goes up. Did her Ian just give her a demand? She doesn’t like it when someone tells her what to do. Kallos hears Sean clear his throat, and glances at him, and he is feeling how furious she is getting.

“Babe, what my stupid brother means is that if anyone is giving you trouble about us, then, we would like you to tell us.” Ian’s hand is still on her cheek, and she can feel his hand starting to heat up like it did last night. This time he pulls away before anything can happen. Sean is looking at them; he moves up and grabs her hand.

He starts pulling her down the trail towards school. “We need to get going. I really don’t want
