"Are you that oblivious?" Marlowe questioned quietly, chuckling.

Pyper and the guys muttered various comments that definitely took me by surprise.

"Um what?"

All their eyes snapped to mine and they all just smiled. What. The. Hell?

Phoenix walked out the kitchen and to us in the middle of the living room where we all were. He rested his hand lightly on the small of my back like it was the most natural thing ever. It felt so perfect dammit.

"Where's Judah," Pyper asked with a raised eyebrow.

Phoenix scoffed behind me, "He's in the kitchen, fuming, for absolutely no reason."

I don't even think they heard because they were all exchanging secret glances over the fact that Phoenix put his hand on my back. They couldn't be any more discreet?

Minutes passed as we all stood in silence, until a certain someone walked out of a certain kitchen door. Fuck.

As Pyper and the guys were already facing that direction, Phoenix and I spun around. But of course, his arm stayed right where it was and I swear to all that is holy, Judah looked like he was ready to bloody murder Phoenix on the spot. I turned my head slightly to take a look at Phoenix and he looked so calm, like there's absolutely nothing to worry about.

"Get the hell out of my house," Phoenix grounded out, taking me by surprise.

"Gladly," Judah sneered, already making his way to the front door. Neither Phoenix or I turned around, but I slightly turned my head and Judah and I's eyes met in a heated stare.

"You are going to do nothing but break her," he growled before pulling the door shut. And that was enough to send Phoenix over the edge as he picked up the closest thing and smashed it against the front door. It just so happened to be a picture frame. Holy shit.

The rest of the gang stared wide eyed at him as his chest was rising up and down terribly fast, I found it quite unfathomable. His hand was no long around my waist, but both fisted tightly as his sides, they were becoming very white. I took his right hand in my left and slowly pried his hand open and intertwining our hands. I watched as his breathing slowed down and his face contorted in confusion.

Even our friends standing before us looked at me in a questioning way as if I've just solved the world's most confusing puzzle. Well then.

I literally dragged Phoenix behind me into the kitchen and even though it was probably quite stupid of me to do so, I reclaimed my spot on top the counter in front of the wineglass cooler and pulled Phoenix in between my legs. And I made myself far more extra than I should've by crossing my legs right below his ass. He can't escape, even if he wanted.

His right found it's way to my hair, brushing through in an ever so gentle way. His eyes wouldn't meet mine though, they stayed glued to our intertwined fingers in my lap.

"Are you okay?" I ask quietly.

His eyes snap up to meet mine and I watched as a million emotions ran through his beautiful teal irises.
