A Gift Of Magic 3: Stuck In Witch Ville

Chapter 2: Lake House vacation

Justin Bieber: Been you

Saturday morning

"Is that everything?" Ray asked Tom. Ray was their butler and sometimes their driver. But today Tom was going to be driving. He was busy loading everyone's luggage into the trunk. This was the day that the family had to start their lake vacation. Bea had spent last night packing even though she wasn't looking forward to this. She would have been looking forward to it if they were going all around the world or to Paris or the whole of Africa. Some place more adventurous than a lake not so far from Durban.

"I think that's it." Tom said

Lyla came out of the house with a hand back and handed it to Ray

"Now that's officially all the luggage." She said to Ray.

Lyla looked beautiful as usually, but she was always wearing expensive clothes. Bea had realized that she was the only one in this family that always had on expensive clothes. Cody wear expensive clothes sometimes but most of the times, he wore regular clothing which he preferred better because he didn't like being rich and all. And Tom and Bea were still getting used to this rich thing, so they hardly wore expensive clothes.

"Where's Cody?" Ray asked Lyla. But before she could reply, Bea said

"I'll go get him." Right before she ran to the house. He was probably at the place he liked to be at the most, which was the third floor in the dancing room.

"Gifted genius?" She called out to him with the nick name only she called him with. She had given him this nick name when she first found out he was a genius. And since he didn't like to be called an intelligent, smart or anything but a genius, gifted genius seemed like the perfect Nick name for him. She wasn't surprised that Cody was still in the house and not outside, all excited like Lyla and Tom and ready to go. She knew that he wasn't looking forward to this boring family vacation just like her.

"Bea." She looked up after she heard him calling from the second floor looking down on her by the balcony. He gave her a slight smile and asked "Is it time to go?"

Bea couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat just from hearing his voice. Whenever he smiled even the slightest she couldn't help but smile back. And his beauty always made her world come to a standstill.

"Yeah. It's time." She replied

Cody walked along the balcony and started running down the stairs to meet her.

"Come on." He said before he held her hand and they exited the house together.

"What do you guys think?" Tom asked Bea and Cody. Bea peered through the window of the Audi to survey the place. She wasn't much pleased. It just looked like an ordinary lake from inside of the car. She looked at the board of the entrance wrote lake house and a sign pointing ahead. She sighed but didn't say anything. 

The only thing that was comforting her was her sitting right next to Cody and her head resting on his shoulder. The sun was shining through the window making it alight inside the car. That was another thing that was comforting Bea. The car which was being driven by Tom with Lyla with him in the front went nearer to a beautiful house that had white wood covering almost every bit of it except for the windows and the roof.

"What do you think guys?" Lyla asked.

"It's okay." Bea said peering out of the window.

"Yah. It's fine." Cody said not sounding any much excited like Bea. Once they got out of the car, they started carrying the luggage from the trunk inside the car to the house.
