Chapter Thirty
Robbie’s POV
“Can I ask a favour?” Iris’s voice entered my hearing as I played my guitar, singing softly to myself. I paused, a smile slipping onto my face as I turned to face her. She was so very beautiful as I gazed at her dazzling onyx coloured eyes.
“Yes you can,” I grinned as she blushed slightly.
“You see the Witches need these stones...” I cut her off.
“What do you mean the Witches?” I asked confused. “You mean Abby?”
“Yes and her Grandmother, Eve,” she nodded.
“Right carry on.”
“Well it’s a very long story...” and so she explained about Akasha, Eve, and what she was to me and by the end I was a little overwhelmed.
“So what do you need me for?” I asked.
“We need five gem stones,” I raised an eyebrow. “And don’t ask me what for because I have no idea but that is what Abby and Eve want.”
“What if they want them for money and this whole thing is a joke?” I asked a little concerned.
“Robert,” she rolled her eyes.
“Sorry,” I muttered looking away. “What gem stones do you require, I’ll see if we have them in the vaults,” I sighed.
She gazed up trying to recall the names of the gemstones, “diamond, Jasper, Garnet, pearl, and Apophyllite,” she listed them off on her slim fingers.
“I’ll get you these gems for a price,” I grinned as her eyes narrowed.
“I can’t pay you,” she said.
“I know that and I don’t want money,” her eyes narrowed even more than before.
“What then?”
“Go on a date with me,” I grinned.
“Is that it?” she asked still sounding unsure.
“Yeah that is all I ask,” I smiled. “I like sending time with you,” I couldn’t stop the blush from escaping onto my cheeks as I cursed myself for being un-cool. What was this girl doing to me?
She smiled sweetly to herself. “Fine you have a deal,” she grinned.
“Great,” I jumped up as a small laugh escaped her lips causing another blush to rush onto my cheeks.
“So when is this date?” she asked after her laughter died down.
“Tonight?” I asked as she nodded with a small smile on her rosy lips.
“Okay sounds good, what should I wear?”
“Something comfortable,” I said as an idea for our date popped into my head.
She nodded before her eyes locked onto my guitar that sat next to me. “Hey I didn’t know you could play,” she grinned. I blushed again curing my emotions for showing me up in front of her.
“I do a little,” I admitted. “But not very well, I and Alex normally play together.” I explained.
“Well you’re gonna have to play me a song,” she sat back in her chair, her arms crossed with a grin on her face. “Can you sing too?” She asked.
I nodded, rubbing the back of my neck uncomfortably as my cheeks reddened. “Not well again,” I shrugged.
“Go on play me a song,” she nodded my old friend.
“Oh no,” I laughed. “I wouldn’t wanna embarrass myself.”
“Come on Robbie,” she grinned. “For me?” she battered her eyelash causing my wolf to stir; he wanted to give her whatever she wanted.
I sighed. “Fine,” I smiled. “But don’t judge,” I picked up my wooden friend thinking of a song that I could play her.
Iris’s POV
I smiled as he began to sing. “Stay for tonight, if you want to I can show you what my dreams are made of, as I’m dreaming of your face” his voice was better than average but it wasn’t the best but to me it was amazing. “I’ve been away for a long time, such a long time and I missed you there,” he looked up and smiled as he sang.
My heart banged in my chest as he rocked lightly with the music he was playing. He may not have been the best singer in the world but he made up for it when it came to playing guitar. He was hauntingly good and I couldn’t help but get transfixed as I lost myself in the music. I watched his slim fingers tenderly pluck at the strings as he played.
“I can’t imagine being anywhere else I can’t imagine being anywhere else but here,” the first verse came to an end. “How the hell did you ever pick me? Honestly, I could sing you a song,” he looked up and winked at that point. “But I don’t think words could express your beauty it’s singing to me.”
I watched as his eyes fluttered closed as he too lost himself within his own music. I could see in his face that he really loved to play and that made me smile.
“How the hell did we end up like this? You bring out the beast in me I fell in love from the moment we kissed since then we’ve been history,” and then he sang the chorus. His eyes meant mine like he was staring into my soul and for some reason this had me shifting in my seat.
“They say love is forever your forever is all that I need, please stay as long as you need, I can’t promise things won’t be broken but I swear that I will never leave please stay forever with me,” he stopped playing as a blush crept onto my cheek. “So yeah,” he shifted in his seat placing his guitar beside him.
I grinned. “You’re are amazing Robbie,” he flushed muttering thanks. “What is that song?” I asked.
“Its ‘James Dean and Audrey Hepburn’ by Sleeping with Sirens” he replied.
“I think I have my new favourite song,” I laughed.
I spent the next hour learning how to play the song on guitar and let me just say I was rubbish. I was so bad that Robbie was laughing at my failed attempts.
“Anyway go get ready for our date,” he pushed me out the door playfully. “I’ll be over to get you in an hour,” I nodded before turning. “Hey wait,” he grabbed my hand.
“What?” I asked confused.
“My goodbye kiss?” I blushed as a cocky smile escaped onto his face.
“But I’ll be over in like an hour?”
He grinned. “Shut up and kiss me already,” he leaned forward. I laugh before giving him a small peck and running off.
“Hey that wasn’t...” he shouted after me.
“You gonna have to wait,” I cut him off.
“Did you get the gemstones?” Abby asked as I entered my room.
“Not yet,” I said. “He said he would look in the vault tomorrow for me,” I shrugged grabbing a towel.
“Tomorrow?” Abby stood up. “What if we don’t have until tomorrow?”
“Well the world will have to end then, won’t it?” I snapped. I heard a small chuckle and looked up to see Cain lying on my bed. “What are you doing?”
“Making myself at home,” he yawned stretching.
I sighed rolling my eyes, god I hated brothers! I quickly showered before changing into a pair of old skinny jeans and a plan red tank top. I tied my hair up into a messy bun before applying a little eyeliner to my eyes and a bit of lip balm to my lips. I smiled to myself as I thought of the song that Robbie played for me.
“Hey Cain,” I asked jumping onto my bed next to him. “Are you any good at technology?”
“I’m okay why?”
“Can you put this song on my iPod?”
“Yeah, what song?” I told him the song Robbie played for me.
“Didn’t see you as the kind of girl that liked screamo,” Cain laughed.
“What?” I asked.
“Well Sleeping with Sirens is a scream band, well they scream in a lot of their songs.” He shrugged.
“Oh,” I frowned. I liked all kind of music but the song that Robbie sang was soft and Romanic. “Is there like an acoustic version?” I asked.
“I don’t know, I’ll check for you,” he smiled. A knock came at the door thirty minutes later and I jumped up.
“Okay I’ll you later Cain,” I smiled walking over to the door.
“Where are you going?” Cain asked with a frown.
“On a date,” I shrugged opening the door to see the smiling face of Robbie.
“Hey Kitten,” he grinned as I flushed. “Come one,” and he grabbed my hand pulling me his room. He pushed me in and I couldn’t help but grin at what I saw.
On the sofa was a fluffy blanket and lots of pillows. On the fire place was lit candles that flickered their golden light casting shadows around the candle lit room; on the coffee table was a stack of DVDs and bowls of snacks.
“What’s this?” I grinned.
“Well,” his arms snaked around my waist as he rested his chin on my slim shoulder. “This is our date, I didn’t want to do nothing fussy, you know? Watching films, snacking and cuddling plain and simple”
I nodded. “I love it,” I smiled. This was my perfect date nothing fancy just simple and nice. “Thank you,” I turned and kissed his cheek.
“And by the way,” he whispered in my ear. “You’re too overdressed, I meant Pjs,” he kissed my temple before disappearing through a door and reappearing. “Here,” he threw a pair of grey sweat pants and a t-shirt, I caught them grinning. I went into the bathroom and quickly changed into Robbie’s oversized clothes, his scent filling my airways. I sighed, walking back out with a small smile playing on my lips. It surprised me that Robbie owned clothes like this as normally I had only ever seen him wear designer brands.
Robbie too had changed into sweats and was just pulling an old shirt over his head when I re-entered. I blushed as I caught a flash over his toned stomach, “sorry,” I muttered quietly as laughter filled my ears. I rolled my eyes sitting down on the sofa.
“You don’t have to be sorry,” he sat down next to me with a lopsided grin on his face; his real smile that made my heart flip inside my rib cage. “So what film do you wanna watch first?” he picked up the stack of DVDs. “We have ‘The Last Song’, ‘Charlie St. Cloud’, ‘The Lucky One’, ‘Leap Year’ and ‘Dear John’,” I couldn’t stop the laugh that escaped.
“What?” Robbie frowned.
“These are all chick flicks,” I laughed.
“Yeah so?” he frowned.
“Do you really wanna watch a sappy Romance film?”
“If you want to yeah,” he shrugged.
I smiled at that, “thank you and we’ll watch ‘The Lucky One?” he nodded getting up and putting the DVD in. “So a secret fan of sappy films?” I asked as he sat down.
“No?” he looked away at the screen. “These are Eliza’s”
“Right,” I laughed winking at him.
“They are,” he insisted causing another chuckle to escape my lips. “Really Iris...” I pecked his lips.
“Shh trying to watch the film,” I grinned, settling down into the comfy sofa.
“Fine,” Robbie pouted before causally throwing his arm over my shoulder and pulling me to his chest. I grin as I snuggle closer into his warmth and began to watch the film.

The chapter is a lot longer than normal because I feel bad for not updating in ages! Anyway I will be updating Innocence soon but my back is killing me from writing this.
Updates are gonna be slow again because College (not Uni for those who live is the US) is about to start up again and I’m doing an intensive course which will take up most of my time. I will update before my birthday (which is the 18th oct) and also most likely on my birthday (I do that every year) so.
