It was now Friday, and I hadn't seen him since that night, he was still busy with his own business, while I was too busy with my college work. But at least he always makes time to text me when he's home, and we had a few phone conversations as well as some unimportant text messages. After talking to him on the phone last noon, I put my cell phone on the nightstand as I walked to the closet. I didn't think I needed to dress up too much, but for some reason, the fact that I was going to meet Cole made me want to at least look good for him. So I grabbed a cute pair of shorts and an attractive top before applying my makeup and styling my hair to make it look better. I look down and see his jacket on the floor - the one he left me the night he flew me home. I had accidentally forgotten to return it. So I reached over and picked up the jacket and packed up my laptop and books before I left. ****** I walked down the small path to the front of his house with my backpack on my shoulder bef
Jesse raised his eyebrows at my answer and I could hear Cole burst out laughing. I don't know how else to put it, Taylor was so shocked when I found out he was a demon. Meanwhile, Jesse was exactly how I imagined him, dark, arrogant, confident, always looking like he was up to no good. "Remember how I told you that I met Taylor after I met my dad?" Cole asked and I nodded. "We only met because he and Jesse were friends." Oh, well, that made sense, and thinking about it now, I also remembered that Taylor had said that he had met Cole through a "family friend". "This might be a strange question, but how did it feel when you found out you had another brother?" I asked Cole curiously. "Lost in the shock waves of all the other things going on," he shrugged. "What about you then?" I asked Jesse. "I think the exact words are: 'How can I relate to a half-breed brother?'" he said with an amused look on his face. "I told you not to call me that," Cole glared at him. "Yeah, yeah," he shru
We both got out of the car and walked up the large driveway to the extremely large house. Just like last time, there was a hint of nervousness as I walked closer, passing all the groups of people. As we walked, I realized that I was going to a party with Cole Spencer - the guy that girls could never get enough of. And just looking at some of the girls outside, I started to feel uncomfortable. Yeah, because those girls' eyes were looking at me with a terrifying expression. As if I'd stolen their boyfriends. "What's wrong?" Cole turned to me and I shook my head. "Nothing... It's just these people... and I'm here with you." Then he furrowed his brow and I laughed. "Just a little self-conscious," I shrugged. Then he caught my eyes turning to the girls who were watching the two of us walk, and he quickly wrapped an arm around my shoulder, pulling me closer to his side. I gave him a strange look, but he continued walking towards the door, not even looking at all the eyes that were lookin
I glared at him, who seemed to enjoy teasing me. "Actually, I like you when you're jealous," he said, smiling cheekily. "You know, you're really cute when you're jealous." I tried to argue. "I'm not jealous!" I said in a slightly too loud voice. "Oh yeah? Then what do you call it?" He turned to face me and I felt trapped. His shoulders rested in the same place as he looked at me with a cheeky smile. I paused, trying to find the right words. "I..." My eyes were fixed only on his face, and he was still smiling cheekily, which made me feel even more awkward than before. "I just helped you chase a girl away. That's all." I continued, looking at him for a moment, and he was still smiling stupidly, and I rolled my eyes. "Ah... Really? If you want to make out with me in public, you can just say so, kitten." He said, still with that stupid smile on his face. "Shut up!" I slapped his arm and I knew for sure that my face was blushing now. "I can't believe I did that." I immediately raised
"Where are we going?" I asked worriedly as he drove on. The area we were traveling through was so strange to me, and the further we went, the fewer houses I saw, replaced by the forest that enveloped the area. "Just a place I like to visit from time to time," he replied, keeping his eyes on the road. After a few minutes of driving, he pulled into a secluded parking lot and unbuckled his seatbelt. The area was surrounded by forest, with not a single resident as far as the eye could see, and it was almost completely dark. "Did you bring me here to kill me?" I teased, trying to find some relief in the humor. But Cole just laughed and shook his head. "No, we just need to walk for a while and I'll show you where we're going," he said in a mysterious tone that made me feel uneasy. I looked at the dark trees around me and swallowed nervously. "What if we run into a wild animal or something?" "I'm the most dangerous thing we'll meet here, trust me," he said with a grinning smile, though
I could hear birds chirping in my ears and wondered why it was so noisy. When my eyes finally opened, my head was on something solid. It was only when I heard slow breathing next to me that I realized it was Cole. At first I wasn't too worried, honestly, I felt quite comfortable with his arms holding me. But when I saw the blue sky above us, I gasped. "Oh my God!" I shouted, looking around at the open field, and he groaned as he started to wake up. "We fell asleep!" "Wh-what?" He tried to open his eyes, trying to figure out why I was yelling. "We fell asleep!" I said again, and he sat up on his elbows, his wings folded behind him. "My parents are going to kill me." I frantically pulled my cell phone out of my jacket pocket, and luckily it was still on. I was about to call my mom when I saw a message from Darren, "I told your parents you were staying with me." "You're welcome." "Have fun with Cole." "You owe me one." I breathed a sigh of relief and flop
There was a moment of silence while I thought about what he had said. The more I thought about it, the more I started to believe that he was right. The party that night was a perfect example. They tried to grab me to drag him out into the open, and if Jesse and Taylor hadn't intervened, they would have. Because I knew that Cole would have gone after them. So he was right. "I-I won't let that happen." I stuttered as I answered him. To be honest, I didn't even know and didn't expect it. "You almost did." He blurted out in a frank way. Oh my Gosh, what have I done, I said to myself. I raised my hands to cover my face. Then I pressed my lips together and took a long breath. "Alright. Then let's make a deal." Jesse raised his eyebrows. "If anything happens to me, don't let Cole come after me. That will be your job." "Heh, you're funny." He replied mockingly with a sneer. "You said he would get killed because of me, right? So if something happens, make sure he's with his mother and the
"Yeah, but that happened more when I was younger. Chase and I used to keep an eye on the mortal world and point out places we wanted to go together... He did that a few times in the few years we were up there." His gaze dropped. "He always told me about the places he went when he visited." "So did you fly together after you got your wings?" I asked and he nodded. "Only a few times. He can't stay here too long." He answered frankly. "Then why did you stop?" I asked, furrowing my brow. "Well, when my mother's condition started to deteriorate, we thought she should have someone with her, or at least close to her. So we had to put that aside," he said and I nodded. There was a short pause between us as I tried to think of something to say. "Maybe I can take you somewhere sometime." He said suddenly. "Really?" He saw my eyes light up with a smile and he nodded. "Really. Anywhere in the world." He smiled softly at me. Then I took a bite of my food with a grin, and he continued eating.
