P.S I didn't know where to place these two, it was between Fantasy Fiction and Romance..you decide!
My mother let out an exasperated sigh. “She doesn't believe me.” she said to the older man.
He smiled, “And can you blame her, we'll just have to show her, Aidenn do you mind?” he asked the young man.
“Me?” Aidenn asked, his dark eyebrows rose in surprise and a hint of pleasure.
The elder man nodded. “Better you then us.”
“Alright.” he agreed. “Chessa, come with me would you?” he extended his hand.
The sound of my name on his lips was like an aphrodisiac, my heart quickened and my mouth grew dry. What was I thinking! I didn't even know this guy for all I know he could be a serial killer, or worse.
But like the idiot I was I took his hand and followed him outside away from the grown ups. Outside to the fresh air, maybe it would be so kind as to blow the cobwebs away, and allow me to think rationally.
As we stepped out onto the wrap around porch I spotted something odd in my front yard. Sitting in the driveway behind my mom's black sapphire pearl Lexus IS, was a brand new 2009 Jaguar XF, it's ebony color sparkled in the sunlight.
My jaw slacked; I didn't do sports, I laughed at cheerleaders, I felt like a retard when I took ballet, I couldn't do any school activities, nothing. I was the girl, who sat in the back hoping to not be picked. But I did know my cars, and boy was I envious!
Ever since I was ten I had my heart set on an Astin Martin, you know the whole James Bond, bad ass vibe the car gave off, yea I wanted it bad. But the Jaguar always had a special place in my heart, the way the motor purred gave me chills, it's luxurious lines and pristine outlook. Everyone knew who you were if you had a Jag!
Seeing this exquisite car in my driveway, made me think of my own pet project. Wondering how my baby must be doing, with all this neglect.
Aidenn lead me towards the expensive car, he opened the passenger door like a gentlemen, I slid in all hot and bothered now, good looks and manners, this guy is so not real.
“So. . .” I mumbled, watching him slid in next to me my mouth started to water as I took in his broad chest muscles bulging beneath the wispy cotton material that is known as a shirt.
I was horrified at my thoughts towards this guy, I never wanted to reach out and touch a guy so badly, it was a good thing I sat on my hands. He was like a God, a Grecian God, from his flaming hair to the soles of his feet.
“So. . .” he copied me, his voice holding a hint of laughter, as he flashed me his funny lop-sided smile.
My heart slammed against my chest, voices in my head told me to reach out and take him, to make sure that he is real. I have never reacted so strongly to the opposite sex before, sure there are some fine looking boys back at school, but nothing like this.
Aidenn was better then chocolate, better then Brad Pitt, even better then Edward Cullen. Even I have a hard time believing this, Edward is a God, a chiseled Angel. But Aidenn, well I don't frankly know what Aidenn is, but he's better.
His eyebrows suddenly furrowed and his lips formed in a tight line. “Are you afraid of me?” he asked.
I opened my mouth to tell him that I was more afraid of a eight-hundred pound bear then him. Before I made my ridiculous statement, I noticed that I had scooted as far away from him as possible without noticing. My mouth snapped quickly together, before I could sound stupid.
He chuckled at me, his copper-gold eyes warm and breath taking. “Should I take that as a yes?” he asked relaxing back into the soft leather seats. I shook my head. “Good, because I'm not scary at all, a kitten is scarier then me.” I smiled and maybe scooted closer to him, only because the door handle had been digging into my lower back.
I could have enjoyed a little more sweet talk from the handsome fellow to my right, but my darn curiosity got the best of me. “What are you supposed to convince me of?” I asked, remembering what the elder man had said.
My question caught him off guard, his smile fell for a quick second and then was forced back, his eyes hardened while his brain configured my question. “I am to convince you that I am real.” he gave a short hard laugh, pointing to himself.
“How are you going to do that?” I asked, truly interested. If he could prove to me that he's real then I will believe one-hundred percent everything my mother has said.
His warm smile was back, as he slid closer to me. I could feel the very heat coming from his body, and that should tell me that he was real, but I was much to busy with his nearness to even think of that.
“Well there are two ways.” he held up two fingers as if I was five, I didn't mind. “One: the hard way that will be very difficult to explain. Two: the easy way that would just be nicer for the both of us.” he waited for me to pick.
“The hard way.” I boldly proclaimed, my lips curving in a smile.
“Are you sure?” he looked surprised.
I nodded my head.
“Alright then.” he shrugged his wide shoulders and held out his palm and began to concentrate really hard on it.
Great! I thought. He's either going to fart, or spontaneously com-bust.
I sat in the cold stuffy car, waiting for something amazing to happen, or really for something to happen. But so far nothing had happened, and I began to wonder if this Aidenn, was in fact a serial killer, and not the gorgeous foreign model, I thought him to be.
I looked up at him, his concentration so definite, I almost regretted interrupting him. But I was already 0 for twelve for being a bitch this morning, I figured I might as well continue my reign.
“Well, this has been a terrible blast.” I sighed, reaching for the door handle. “But I do believe that I hear my mom calling me, so if you don't mind...” I pulled on the handle, the door popped open and a spark ignited out of the corner of my eye.
I screamed, looking over my shoulder Aidenn's palm was on fire! On fire, how could this be, I hadn't seen him light himself on fire, what idiot would light himself on fire anyways!
“Aidenn!” I shouted, unsure of what to do myself, his hand was on fire, on fire god dammit! And he wasn't screaming bloody murder, like what the hell.
“Shh...” he whispered, the orange flames licking at his fingertips. “It's ok, I have it under control, come look.” he floated his hand over towards me.
I was mesmerized by the blue underbelly of the fire, I reached my hand towards the haunting flame, Aidenn's quiet foreign tongue whispering things gently into my ear.
Good thing common sense kicked in, and I was able to come out of my state of hypnotism. Before something terrible happened, like the whole car catching on fire or exploding, something terrible like that.
Pushing back against the door, I fell out landing on my rear end, feeling not so foolish because of the danger I was just in.
“You sick son of a bitch!” I shouted, standing to my feet, my limbs shaking uncontrollably. “You could have killed us both, with that little stunt in there!”
Aidenn jumped out of the car, the mesmerizing flame was smothered in his firm fist. “Chessa, you wanted to know weather I was real or not, and might I add you picked the hard way.” he countered, flipping his bangs out of his heated eyes.
“Well, what the hell was the easy way?” I yelled throwing my arms up in the air, not knowing what I was asking for.
Was this kid, seriously for real, setting his hand on fire in a closed compartment, a closed compartment that is extremely flammable.
In one quick movement Aidenn was inside the invisible bubble known as my space, his fingers brushed up my arms taking hold of them with utmost care. He leaned down and kissed me fully on the mouth. His lips tasted as sweet as honey, the best I have ever experienced.
He came up for air first, making me yearn for more. I had never known anything to be as precious as that kiss, it was so delicate and pure. I couldn't believe it, I was speechless.
And that scared me.
“That's the easy way.” he breathed, running his finger down from my temple to my jaw line. His eyes were liquid gold, his smile oddly crooked.
I stepped back, unable to conceive what just happened, I had kissed a total stranger, and I had liked it. So many thoughts raced through my head, too many of them were angry, and my breath was coming in sharp gasps, I had to get away.
I frowned, hoping it was an angry frown. “Fuck you.” I told him, giving him a good kick in the knee I ran back towards the house.
I looked over my shoulder, hoping beyond hope that he was cursing up a storm and jumping up and down at my childish behavior towards his poor shin. But he was gone, had he fallen over? Should I turn around to make sure I hadn't fatally injured him?
“Screw him.” I decided with a wicked smile, turning back around in that short amount of time a shadow flew in front of me.
I screamed, man had I turned into a screamer the past several hours or what. The shadow that had passed me was Aidenn, how he got in front of me when I clearly had a good head start and I clearly had broken his shin bone, I will never know.
“Jesus Christ!” I gasped, skidding to a stop at the front door, where Aidenn stood, quite heinously.
