Love Olympus

Love Olympus (16)

　After Bruno left the silence was evident of our shock. The patronizing truth of what was going to occur tomorrow in the love game. I couldn't wrap my hands around it as much as I forced myself too.

I was in a daze as I stood there emotionless. I didn't even blink. All I noticed was how nothing was running in my blood. Not even a drop of some sort of stimulus that made my heart race.

I was cold, again.

My hands started shaking slight, but an unexpected electric shock went through my fingers. I looked down to my left hand to find the back of my hand touching Caspian's. I slowly trailed up his arm and up to his face. Caspian's expression unreadable, but reassuring to an extent as he looked at me.

He nodded as I did too.

Caspian didn't hold my hand, but the small touch brought me back to life like a defibrillator. I thanked him in my mind and exhaled loudly out of my nostrils.

Everyone dispersed the minute I took a step forward. I wasn't the only one both worn out and completely scared. Ruby's action of when she got a hold of her weapon which was a gun by looking at me, kept pinching the back of my neck.

I tried to brush away the feeling, but it glued itself onto me like a wasps venom.

I quickly walked over to my room and slammed it behind me. I heard a thump, but I didn't dare look back. I laid a knee first on my bed and swirled around to sit down with one leg hanging out. I then leaned my hands back to support myself and faced the front.

Clark was the one behind me. He stopped the door and stood there for two seconds. Clark took a couple of steps forward and closed the door behind him. He lingered while holding the knob and turned his head around giving me a full view of his face and body.

It was strange. My heart dipped a little which was unnatural, but the moment was much more weirder then intended. I gulped and stared at Clark's expression. It wasn't normal. He stood there tense and for some reason this peculiar question came out of my mouth.

　

"Why....." I blinked. "Aren't you wearing a shirt?"

[ Clark's POV ]

Now or never, I thought. I have to let Venus see that she belongs to me. These past days with Caspian has been annoying me to death and the fact she's taking me the wrong way irks me. The way Venus was staring at me had me sweating, but I wiped it away as I walked towards her. I breathed in sharply and held it in so I could emphasize my body.

My assists if you know what I mean.

Stare at it, i thought.

"I lost it," I smoothly replied. Coming out of my mouth it sounded ridiculous however it only mattered how i answered. Yeah..

"We were in the living room less then a minute ago.." Venus blinked. "Did Bruno take it with him?" She joked around.

"Maybe," I sighed coolly. "Maybe not.." I walked over sat.

Bending over I awkwardly sat down with my hands on my knee and stared at the door. This seducing thing was failing horribly, but I had nothing up my sleeve. Opening and closing my mouth several times and facing failure I cleared my voice to start up a conversation. Sighing, I scratched the back of my head hard and faced Venus who was staring at me intently.

"Are you okay?" Venus questioned. I nodded abruptly, but right away wanted to slap myself. I wanted to act cool not like a wimp.

"Aren't you cold?" Venus asked with a smile. Right away I knew she was playing with me and she was enjoying this alright.
