The Lucent Encounter

Second Encounter

Aaliyah POV

"Good Luck!" Zach said as he pinch my nose so hard that made a sharp intake of my breath.

"Zach! M-my nose!! I-I can't b-breath!!" I stutter while trying to breath in some air in my lungs.

It's already the day I've been waiting for, my mission starts today and Zach was too early to pay a visit just to bid his goodbye and say encouraging words but more like pinching my nose to death. 'Oh goody how thoughtful of him, not!!' I thought sarcastically.

My face flushed pink, my lips is mauve and my nose, I bet it's already so red right now because of how he pinch so hard I'm afraid it might fall off of my face, I hope not. I am literally running out of breath in my system and when he take a glimpse of my face after laughing his ass off that's his cue to let go of my nose.

"S-sorry" his hands are curled into fist and place it on his mouth to stifle his laughter.

I gave him my death glare and touch my now Rodolf, the red nose reindeer nose. I shoved past him to see the mess he made. When I was in front of my full body mirror, I flinch as I saw my horrid reflection. My crowning glory was like a bird's nest, my face is so pale, my lips is mauve, my eyes is puffy and my nose, it's so red. I was on verge of crying, I cover my face with my hands. 'I am messed up!' I thought to myself.

"Oh come here shortcake" Zach said with guilt in his voice. He kept apologizing at me as he hover towards my position and pulled my hands away from my face when he was already in front of me, towering me with his 6 flat height, he latched me in a tight hug and saying comforting words as he rub my back in circular motion. My hand stayed on his well-built chest, tugging his white t-shirt. I feel safe and secure around his arms.

A devilish smile crept on my face. Ha! He fell for my trap, what an easy target. As my both hands was tugging his shirt, I push him with all my force which lead his favorite shirt ripped into half and his back hit the cabinet so bad 'Ouch! that's gotta hurt so bad' I thought . To bewilder of my actions, his brain seemed to process what just happened. I directly ran out of my room.

"AAL!!" Zach shouted when he notice me running away from him.

I fly with my wings so fast and when I turned my head at the back, I saw him catching up but in a faster pace which is a wrong move because that made my fear bolted up.

I'm almost on the door that leads you to the garden but before I could even touch the doorknob, he envelop me into a hug, stopping me from going out.

"Gotcha!" he whispered in my ear in a husky voice. That sent shivers to my spine. He was so close for my liking, we stare at each other's eyes, lost in each other's trance, trying to go deeper into each other's soul. We could feel each other's beating hearts. One inch away and our lips would touch, he moved closer and closer. He breath out, he smell like mint.

When we are to absurd in the moment, someone cleared his throat to get our attention. We jolted away from each other. I looked down on the tiled floor beneath me while Zach was dusting off imaginary dust on his pants, that's when I noticed his naked torso I looked at my hands which is holding his ripped shirt. I quickly hide it in my back and looked up at the person in front of us.

"What are you two doing here?" My father asked giving us the confused look. I blushed at his gaze so lowered down my head and stare at the floor. I don't bother looking at Zach's reaction.

"I--Uh-----Uhm... W-we w-were..." I stutter trying to find coherent words to explain his confusion. But before I could form a sentenced he cut me off.

"Trying to devoured each other's mouth aren't you?" my father cut me off with a smirk playing on his face which made me look up and earn me blushing tomato red, and eyes about to popped out.
