his chest. Furious
with myself, I turned around and looked at Raven and Abby.
Suddenly, Abby jumped over to the Ipod and
pressed the off button. Glaring at her, I followed her gaze to find
Chax standing in the door.
“Morning, have all of you already prepared
for the day?” he asked with his serious face on.
Gaping like a fish, Abby tried to answer but
failed miserably. I decided to save her. “Weapons check, charged
up, check. Ready for action, boss.” I gave him a salute with a
wicked smile.
His left eye jumped for a second, but he
nodded, turned around, and walked off.
“Is he always that scary?” Raven asked, when
she was sure he was far away.
“Yep, and he can get even more epic than
that.” Lada laughed.
Raven whistled, and went over to sit down on
the other couch. Baffled, Abby joined her. Well, there goes my
fun for the day. With a sign, I walked over to retrieve my
Ipod.
“Do you always carry it with you?” Max was
suddenly right next to me.
I looked at him and remembered that I was
actually freaking mad at him. “No, only by invitation.” Sarcasm
just didn’t suit me. He frowned and grabbed it before I could lift
it off the station. “What the hell?” I tried grabbing it from him.
But his freakishly tall body already had it towering above me.
“I want a normal discussion with you. No
scowling, no trying to kill me, and no sarcasm.” Max was pushing
the button again.
“And why in the world would I want to do
that?” My finger was poking him between his ribs.
“Because I am asking nicely.” He leaned over
me, serious as hell.
“Dream on! Now, give it back,” I
demanded.
“No, not before you talk to me.” He was going
to budge.
“Why don’t you go and talk with Kas then.” Oh hell, I didn’t just say that, did I?
He looked at me questionably and then smiled. Shit, I did just freaking say that! I jumped up in the air
and grabbed hold of my Ipod, determined to get the hell away from
him. But like usual, Godzilla had me in his grabby hands.
“If I knew that it would bother you, I would
have not gone over to talk to her.” His face was right in mine. I
narrowed my eyes at him.
“Who said it bothered me? It was just a
suggestion.” I gave him an innocent look.
He smile was going for Oscar status. “Uh huh,
I really believed you there for a moment.” He was leaning right
into my personal space. I pushed him away with my hands and bent
backwards.
“Just let go of me, Godzilla.” I was so close
to killing him.
He let go instantly and I almost butt kissed
the floor. I looked back at him, and he was just standing there
looking at me, hurt in his eyes. He turned around and walked off to
Ben. A sharp pain stabbed me right in the bloody heart and had me
sucking in a breath. I didn’t mean to hurt him; he just doesn’t
back off like other people and I am not ready for this crap. I got
up and looked at him as he was trying to have a conversation with
Ben. But I could still see and now feel his pain. Crap.
Just then Kasadya walked into the room. I
turned around before she could see me like this.
“Oh great, mom's here,” Raven said, rolling
her eyes at Kasadya.
That instantly lit up the fire in Kasadya,
and she narrowed her eyes at Raven. “Bet your ass, punk.”
“Oh please, I can take you,” Raven fired
back.
Oooo, not good. I sucked in my breath.
Max chocked on his drink. And Lada looked like she was about to
faint.
With a smile, Kasadya challenged her. “Well,
let’s go see, hot stuff.”
She turned and walked towards the front door.
Raven was up and after her with determination. We all look at each
other and simultaneously jumped up after them. “Kas is going to
kill her,” Lotan said as we reached the front door. Max stormed
passed him.
“Raven, I wouldn’t do that if I were you,”
Max said, trying to stop her.
“Just watch and see me kick her ass,” Raven
fired back.
We all stopped on the grass and looked at the so dead girl striding towards
with myself, I turned around and looked at Raven and Abby.
Suddenly, Abby jumped over to the Ipod and
pressed the off button. Glaring at her, I followed her gaze to find
Chax standing in the door.
