Frog Tale by JT Schultz Read Free Book Online Page B

amphibian and didn’t care if this time she brought Stella down. If she did get a round in with her sister, Chloe would be sure to leave a bruise on her flawless face. “I don’t even know what you were going to do to my frog, back away or so help me I will hurt you, Stella.”
    “Your hair!” She narrowed her gaze. “Where the hell are your glasses? I’m amazed you can tell Georgina and I apart without them.”
    “Mom got me contacts and as far as my hair, mom and the hairdresser thought the shorter length and the streaks looked good. So, now that you have stunned yourself without something shiny or some guy’s balls in front of your face, get the hell out of my room.”
    Blue eyes glared at her and it was obvious her sister was mad. “I still think you’re ugly and nothing will change that. You’re still a nerd and―”
    “Finish your sentence and I will make sure your eye is a new color of purple.  Ever since Luc came to this house almost four months ago, you’ve had plans for his demise and I won’t tolerate you hurting him. I will cause you excessive pain if you harm him in anyway.”
    “Bitch!” Stella screamed.
    “Yes, but I’ve had such great teachers with you and Georgina.” She stepped closer to her sister and smiled. “Remember, I know where you sleep.”
    Stella fumed then stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind her. “Mom, Chloe is threatening me!” Her sister’s voice echoed from down the hall.
    Still smiling, she shook her head and glanced to Luc. “Are you okay?”
    He blinked then blinked again. “You…”
    Chloe’s lips thinned and her grin vanished. “You don’t like the way I look either.”
    “No, that isn’t the problem. The problem is you're beautiful. You didn’t let anyone see you like this did you?”
    “Luc! What the hell? You tell me I’m beautiful then ask if I let anyone see me like this? Are you delusional? Did Stella hit you on the head?”
    “No, you saved me in time. I won’t even repeat what she said to me it’ll just upset you…” His brows furrowed and he looked away.
    “What’s wrong?”
    He again rested his gaze on her and gave her a once over. “You look incredible, the streaks look nice in your hair and it’s even better you’re not hiding your eyes. Actually, the makeup brings them out and your lashes look longer.”
    “It’s called mascara.”
    He croaked in displeasure. “I know what it’s called. That’s not the point!”
    “What’s the problem?” Confused over Luc’s behavior, she started to wonder if maybe life was safer hiding behind her glasses.
    “Boys are going to notice you.”
    “There are worse fates, actually, one already has. I ran into Scott Phillips at the mall after I got my hair done and mom surprised me with the contacts.”
    His froggy eyes widened then he scowled. “And who is he?”
    “Quarterback for the football team. His dad is a concert promoter and he asked if I wanted to take in a concert tomorrow.”
    Luc’s nose twitched in disgust. Oh yeah big time, froggy displeasure, what had gotten into him? “Tomorrow is Saturday.”
    “Right, and I told him I thought it would be fun.” Her heart tightened a bit. “If there was a way I could bring you I would.” She wondered for the first time what life would be like if Luc wasn’t a frog. Never had she questioned what he would be like as human, only currently he was acting more like a jealous boyfriend instead of an amphibian.
    His eyes were intent on her and he scowled again. “What is running through your pretty head now?”
    “Did you go to concerts?” Her hand lifted him out of his castle then she walked them over to the bed where he hopped down and like usual made his way to her pillow. She stretched out next to him.
    They just stared at each other for a few minutes and he nodded. “I used to do so many things. I miss my old life sometimes.”
    “So you say, Prince Charming.” She lifted a brow and gently teased him knowing it
