Are you ready for it?

🎼This is not I. I had no body once
Only what served my need to laugh and run
And stare at stars and tentatively dance
On the fringe of foam and wave and sand and sun
Eyes loved, hands reached for me, but I was gone
On my own currents, quicksilver and thistle down
Can I be trapped in that soft face? - Judith Wright
🎼 I couldn’t help myself I opened my eyes despite the fact that he ordered me not to and as soon as I did the world seemed to slow down. He flew right at me at full speed with a determined smile and dark eyes. His lips touched mine sending a wave of warmth than made my thighs tighten together and I fell back in the grass.
I lay there unable to think or breathe yet I mananged rub my fingers over my burning lips. My mind began to process and replay everything through my mind until it finally really hit me that Blaz just kissed me.
Blaz stole my first kiss and it’s making my stomach flip but not in the bad way.
I should be disgusted and I am but then there’s the other part of me that just can’t comprehend it and believe it’s bad. That he’s bad. I can’t see him but I know here’s standing there watching me. I bet he’s smirking, I bet he did this to satisfy his sick twisted idea that he has my heart in his hand.
There’s no way I’m giving him that.
“I just wanted your first kiss to be from someone who loves you.” He said. Love? Did he just say the L word to me? I listened to him walk away collecting his things and so I quickly jumped up and watched as he pulled on his T-shirt, flung his leather jacket over his shoulder and started for the trees.
“Now wait a minute!” I shouted angrily the burning suddenly spreading as I took a deep breath. He froze. “You cannot do a hit and run like that get back here!” I screamed outraged. I’m so confused; my hormones are going against me. I don’t like Blaz at all let alone like him in that way!
He gazed over his shoulder smirking and strutted back towards me. “Already dying for more?” See he’s cocky, he’s self-centered, he’s practically a Gaston from beauty and the beast, he’s bipolar, he’s mean, he’s wicked and cruel, he’s got really soft lips for a vicious and unbearable boy.
“No!” I snapped. He kissed me anyway reading through the lie and the other horny part of me screamed in excitement. He’s cupping my face in his hands to hold me there so I can’t run away and I expected myself to at least try to yank away but the kiss sent a warm feeling to spread fom my chest and curl my toes.
This has to stop! I have to stop this because this has to be some kind of trick.
I slid my hands up over his top onto his upper body but pushed him back. “Don’t.” I said weakly. He smashed his mouth onto my mouth again tugging at my hair, I pulled away. “Stop!”
“I won’t.” He winked then began kissing me again. This time I can’t stop him, the part of me that doesn’t want him to has taken full control. He flicked his tongue in my mouth and not only did my cheeks heat up but my whole body felt hot. I tilted back again and admitted without thinking, “I don’t know what I’m doing.” I’ve had one practice on the back of my hand but that’s not what I meant. “I mean ugh.” I stopped thinking straight when he ran his thumb over my bottom lip making me flush. I will never forgive myself if I fall limp in his arms! “Why are you really doing this?”
“You think I’m tricking you again?” He asked his dark eyes stuck on my lips. I want him to kiss me again even if is playing me as an idiot. Let me re-word that.
I want him to kiss me again even if he is playing me as a Nicole.
“I…” Oh screw talking when there’s so much kissing to be done! His hands rubbed my arms and then stroked my back to pull me closer and I happily olbiged but kept a poker face. I do want to make this clear: “You are the most confusing,” he pecked at the corner of my lips. “Annoying,” he kissed my nose. “Rude,” he kissed both my cheeks leaving a warm redness there for him to smile at. Really smile not the bad boy grin but a sweet adoring grin that made my heart largen in my chest. “Insufferable,” My eyes closed when his lips met my forehead. I’ve always wanted to have that kiss on the forehead moment. It’s not as amazing as they say in the romantic novels. It’s better. “Fustrating,” he kissed both my eyelids and let out a shaky breath my hormones going insane. I’m not entirely sure how I’m holding myself back right now. “What was I saying?”
“That I’m the most fustrating.” He kissed my eyelids again going through what I said backwards so when he came to confusing he kissed my lips passionately. My hands gripped onto his shirt ready to tear it open and do the unimaginable. However I can imagine it and his hands stayed splayed on my back almost afraid to move anywhere else.
Funny how he was so okay of grabbing my butt before but now that I want him to he is a gentleman. I smiled against him with that thought.
He suddenly pulled back and ran his hand through my snow white hair with ardor in his eyes. I don’t think anyone has ever looked at me with that much love in their expression.
Not even my ex best friend.
“Your dad is going to kill me.” He whispered smiling. I pressed my body closer to his and locked my arms around his neck.
“He’ll have to get past me first.”
“Even with the power you have he is much stronger and smarter than you.”
It took me a moment to register who he meant. “Oh that father.” He pressed his forhead against mine then bit onto my lip playfully. Who knew I would leanr to love playful lip biting so much?
“Jelly? Blaz? Where are you?”
“Five more minutes.” He whispered as I struggled to move.
I giggled. “He’s probably getting scared.” I tried getting out of his strong grip but failed immensely which amused him.
“He’s fine.” He leaned in for another kiss but I leaned away attempting to push him back. “I wouldn’t fight me princess.” He said with my hand squashing his perfect face making him look slightly deformed.
“What are you doing to her?” Michael shouted. We snapped our heads to a horrified little boy and I kicked Blaz’s shin so he groaned and stumbled back. I’ll make up for it later.
Ignoring how dirty that sounds…
“Do you uh need anything?” I asked awkwardly.
“Come and see the bear.” He ordered angrily.
“What kind of tone is that?” Oh great I’m going all motherly on him.
His face softened to a sad frown. “Sorry Jelly.”
The bear groaned in the background.
“You better watch your mouth to!” I shouted at him. Blaz wrapped his arm around my waist, of course I’ve never had a guy do this before so I flinched a little biting my lip unsure. My lips are all swollen and the rest of my body is all heated and AH!
Blaz… Blaz is the one?
He couldn’t be right?

~Blaz~
“Thank you Ms Campbell it was delicious.” I said putting up the most charming smile I have. Better play off as a good boy since I am tracing patterns on her daughter’s knee under the table. Angie didn’t react to my touch but I know inside that little head of hers she’s definitely thinking of me naked. I can’t be the only one here thinking of us naked right?
“Were we eating the same meal?” My princess asked me. Then she slapped my hand away right before her mother playfully slapped her upside the head. I snickered and snuck my hand on her knee again.
“So Blaz.” Her mother sat at the head of the table with a glass of wine in her hand. Ah the parent interrogation, I’ve never stayed with a girl long enough to meet the parents or just avoided them all thogether. I’ve dealt with Hell Hounds, Dark angels, zombies, vampires, demons, voodoo and Angelica’s real dad… How bad could this be? “Why is it that whenever you’re around my daughter she gets into trouble?” I laughed until I noticed Michael glaring at me from opposite the table. Come on little man don’t be mad at me I thought I had your blessing?
M princess spoke up rolling her eyes. “Mum I always get into mischief it’s just with Blaz as an unlucky charm I’m always getting caught.” Did I hear her correctly?
“Oh is that so?” I questioned glaring down at her playfully. She looked away from me unfazed, in fact with a small smile playing on her lips. She’s no longer afraid of me, how do I feel about that?
“Yes.” She crossed her legs and moved them far away from my hand making me feel all of sudden lonely.
“Blaz my daughter is the top criminal in this town stop getting my daughter caught red handed and ruining her reputation.” Her mother said warningly and pointed her nose in the air as I chuckled incredulously. But suddenly her eyes glared down at my girl. “And you Angelica I thought you stopped that mischief when you got caught by the government.”
I gazed back at Angelica looking at her curiously. “You still haven’t told me about that.”
She groaned running a hand through her hair. “It was only the police not the entire government. It’s not like the president flew over to scold me.”
“He gave me a phone call actually.” Her mother said. What the hell?
“I don’t believe that for a second.” Angelica stated doubtfully.
“What did you do?” Michael asked.
“I was saving some puppies.” She admitted but there’s no way that’s all that happened. You don’t get in trouble by the government for stealing puppies.
Mrs Campbell laughed. “You broke an entering for a good reason and that I can live with but did you have to bring the puppies here?”
“That was three years I didn’t now any better. They needed a place to stay.”
“In your walk in wardrobe?”
“Can we please not talk about it we’re amusing Blaz too much?” She sat back crossing her arms over her chest and all I want to do now is kiss her again. She noticed me staring and spared a glance at me before shying away looking worriedly at her empty plate. Why is she worried?
“Do you drink Blaz?” Her mother questioned.
“Yes.” I answered honestly but drinking has no affect on me. I just use it as an excuse.
“Do you smoke?”
“Yes.”
“Do you do drugs?”
“Once but didn’t see the appeal.” By now Angelica had her face in her hands silently chuckling, Michael stared at me wide eyed and her mother’s mouth was agape.
“I do hope you’re joking.” She said. My princess threw her head back laughing hysterically then she fell with the chair down on the ground.
“I’m afraid not.” I replied.
“How old are you?”
“Sixteen.”
“And you’re drinking?” She exclaimed shocked.
Angelica wrapped her arms around me from behind and rested her head on my shoulder. Her scent hit me like tidal wave leaving behind a pleasant feeling. “Mum. He’s a bad boy. I told you that.” I am a bad boy. At this point I’ll be whatever she wants me to be. Mrs Campbell stared at us as if we were the strangest people she’s ever had dinner with then her eyes drifted to something behind us.
“Macy, Stacy are you going out again?” Angelica and I gazed back at the twins who stood like statues in the doorway in gothic attire.
“Yes.” They said together. Angelica is right they are creepy.
“Are you planning on partying with Count Dracula?” My princess asked sarcastically and to that I mentally laughed but frowned when she stepped to the side and lowered herself back to her chair.
“Jealous much little wh…” The other twin elbowed the one talking to shut her up. Which one is which!? They flipped their black hair back and stormed off out of the house.
“That wasn’t weird.” I whispered. Everyone ignored me.
“How long are they staying again?” Angelica whined.
“Angelica they’re family.” Mrs Campbell scolded.
“They’re demon spawns.” She snapped then looked down at me. “No offence.” None taken.
“They’re your cousins.” Her mother continued.
“Stop reminding me.” I moved my gaze from her to Michael noticing how his silence. Why does he look so scared? He suddenly jumped up and ran around the table to crawl into Angelica’s lap. She held him close and he glanced up at me worriedly before hiding his face in her chest.
“Jelly?” He whimpered.
“Yes.” She cooed patting his head.
“Can I sleep with you tonight?”
“Of course you can.” She rested her chin on his head and gazed at me questionably. “Do you have a sore tummy?”
“No.” He mumbled.
Her mother asked him. “Michael wouldn’t you rather want to sleep with your mum?”
He whispered. “She won’t protect me.” Angelica stiffened, instinctively she held onto him tighter and creased her brow. I glared over my shoulder back at the doorway at where the twins stood feeling sick to my stomach.
“What did he say?” Mrs Campbell asked.
“He really wants to sleep with me mum.” She passed Michael to me and he begrudgingly sat on my lap. “I’ll help clean up.” He and I both watched her start cleaning up with her mother and then we looked at each other with poker faces. Minutes passed and neither of us broke. This kid is good.
“What is it that’s scaring you?” I asked him.
“It was nothing.” He replied and crawled off me to run in the kitchen with Angelica.
~🎶~
~Angelica~
Up in my room (don’t get any ideas) the three of us sat on my bed with Micheal in my lap fast asleep.
“Did he tell you anything?” I asked but Blaz shook his head sitting in the same crossed leg position.
“Nothing. But he was definitely scared of something.”
“It’s his sisters.” I said assured. “They must do horrible things to him.”
“I know you hate them but I think he would be afraid of something worse than them.” Blaz said with a voice full of doubt and that made me so angry.
“You don’t know them like I do.” I pretty much hissed hatefully while I tucking Michael’s hair off his face.
“Hot.”
I blushed as I looked up at him. “What is?”
“You angry.” He smirked. “I find it extremely attractive on you.” He leaned forward grabbing a fistful of my hair and moulded his lips with mine. We ignored the fact that Michael is still in my arms and I shivered when his hand ran down behind my neck.
The door suddenly swung open and Blaz pulled back in time before my mother stared at us.
“Why was the door closed?” She questioned. I shrugged unable t think of what else to do. Great she thinks I would have sex with Blaz with Michael in the room? Come on! How low does she think I’ve gone? “Where are your parents Blaz? Do they mind you staying here?”
“Uh…” He looked really uncomfortable but then with a blink of an eye he was confident again. “My uncle knows I stay out late but if there’s a particular time you need me to go…” his uncle being his demon servant right?
“Oh no, just making sure but it is a school night.”
“I understand.” She nodded then walked back down the stairs leaving my door wide open.
“You’re so fake around her.” I whispered hitting his shoulder.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about.” He said smugly.
“Don’t play coy.” I said placing Michael’s head down on the pillow and tucked him in under the covers. “You act like such a gentleman in front of her.”
He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled us away to sit on his lap at the edge of the bed. “I do it so she’ll let me hang around when you won’t.”
“I knew you had a motive. You’re not normally this nice.” I smiled.
“That’s what you like about me.” He breathed in my ear. My body leaned into his warm and hard but comfy chest and I closed my eyes anjoying the feeling of his arms around me. His heartbeat going rapid against my back and it proves his true emotions even though he’s acting so calm. “I don’t know. I think being evil is a little overated these days.” He didn’t say anything to that. Did I hurt his evil pride? “Blaz?’
“Yes.”
“When you said that about my first kiss, how you wanted to be sure it was given to the person who loved me…”
“You’re questioning?”
“I need to be sure.”
“You don’t trust me.”
“You don’t give me much reason to.”
“Please you still choose Henry don’t you?” He asked darkly and he left me at a loss for words. “Now you choose him after all those years of waiting for you to even spare him the time.” He placed me aside on the bed and shot right up facing away from me.
On my knees still on the bed I whispered as to not wake up Michael. “It’s not like I was seeing any other guys Blaz.”
“Really?” He silently laughed. “Well once we get your memory back you’ll realise the type of bitch you were.”
“What…?” My eyes widened in realisation. “I knew it. I knew this was a trick.”
“A sick joke? Is that what you believe?”
“That’s what I know.”
“Good.” He turned around to watch me with charcoal black eyes and stuck out his tongue, a tongue thin and split at the end like a snake’s. “Let me make this clear… You make yourself too easy to toy with. You’re so desperate that you even let me fool you.”
“Mistakes I will never make again now get out. Just leave.” My chest feels heavy and my eyes hurt. I’m such an idiot.
He chuckled but there was no humour in it. “You're pathetic… A nosy little bitch that's full of shit. You may be rich princess but you're worth nothing. You are nothing." My head fell and I sat down staring at my hands. I feel like there’s a knife under my ribcage, or a better way to describe it is another guy I have let in has stabbed an already wounded heart. He let out a deep sigh. “Princess I…”
I snapped my head up and glared at him with eyes full of tears. “How dare you? You played with me at my most vulnerable moment because you’re fucking insecure about yourself. That’s what you do! You prey on weak girls because they’re easier to control and mess with. You know I feel like such a fool,” I got off the bed and started walking towards him. The room got brighter and he’s backing away afraid. Good. “Not only because I fell for your scheme, but I actually defended you to Ranger. I defended a low life demon to someone who is naturally a good being. I had your back because I thought you had mine.”
His eyes shifted back to a normal brown as he backed out of my room. “You’re glowing…”
“Don’t you dare try to use flattery to save your own skin! For a moment I thought we were friends and then I thought we were more than that but no this is you hating yourself and needing some weak girl’s attention to make you feel better.” He walked backwards down the stairs staring at me shocked. “Even though I would expect this from you, I’m still surprised you did this to me of all people.”
“First of all I’m not insecure that would require me to care what others think of me which we all know I don’t and it doesn’t make sense that you’re bringing that up… And princess you’re shining.”
“You’re still trying to flirt!” I stiffened as the pain shocked me. I’m unable to yell at him anymore – what a shame… I tried to say his name but it came out as blah and I fell into his arms. He held me close and sat us down on the staircase pressing my head onto his chest. I took painful breaths as my eyes brimmed with tears and I gritted my teeth while clenching my hands into fists.
Why is everything so bright? I looked around the room searching for the source and then I looked down at my hands watching them glow.
I opened my mouth to scream.
“Sh.” Blaz hissed trying to rub my back soothingly and dulling the pain but I’m still so angry and confused! Why am I glowing?
