The Untold Story of Norah West and Ike Kent

By: Lidi999

Chapter One:

I, Norah West, was bored out of my mind.

Why?

Because it was Marcie's wedding and yeah weddings, fun, happy, blah, blah, blah. But everyone was dancing and I was sitting in a white chair staring.

And as the song changed Marcie stepped away from Hale and off to Parker, who took her off to dance. I sighed and grabbed my drink, this was boring.

"Norah?"

I almost spit out my drink at the suddenness of a voice so close to my ear. I turned around in my chair and came face to face with Ike Kent. "Oh," I sighed, "Hey Ike."

Ike and I had been babies together he was only months younger than me. We had grown up together and both joined the team at the same time. His older sister, Zuri, was Marcie's best friend.

"Yea, Hi," Ike said rubbing his dark brown hair. I smiled waiting for him to get on with whatever he wanted. Ike stuck his hands in his pockets and glanced out at the dance floor, lightly biting at his bottom lip. In the moment some girls would of said Ike looked "cute" but I wasn't some girl.

"Earth to Ike? You still alive in there?"

Ike looked back at me his simple copper eyes stared. He blinked, "Oh yea."

I brushed back my blonde hair, "So?"

Ike looked back at the dance floor and I rolled my eyes, "You want to dance?"

I nearly choked again.

The way he had just asked it, not even looking just casual like, "How are you?" but not. I blinked a couple of times, "What?" I asked thinking I must of heard him wrong.

He looked back at me, "I said, do you. Want to. Dance with me?"

I stared at him, see Ike and Conner could be the same person. Both quiet and stubborn. Not very talk-ish about feelings... or anything really. So Ike asking me to dance was like, I don't know. Something that in the real world would NEVER happen.

"Uh."

"You don't have to I was just asking."

I set my glass on the table and stood up, "No, no I'm bored. Let's dance."

Ike raised his eyebrow, "You don't have to."

I shut my eyes for a second and then opened them, "No, I meant. I want to."

Ike shrugged, "Okay."

I nodded, "So let's go?"

Ike nodded, "Okay." And he took off towards the dance floor. I rolled my eyes and followed.

Once we were out on the floor Ike stared at me as I came to a stop in front of him, "You don't have to do this," He stated.

"If you want to take back the asking just say it. No hard feelings."

Ike shook his head and held out his hand. I took it he placed his other hand lightly on my waist. Then his stepped backwards and I followed and we stared moving in a very awkward silence.

"So," Ike said, "Having fun now?"

I shrugged, "I guess."

Ike spun me under his arm and I almost tripped on his foot, I laughed, "Ike!"

Ike smiled, "How about now."

I smiled back, "Yea, I mean that was a near death experience."

Ike laughed, "Speaking of near death experiences, do you remember our first mission?"

I rolled my eyes, "How could I forget? I still have a scar."

Ike's eyes got wide, "Really where?"

I pulled away from him and flipped over my wrist and pointed, "There." It was much to see, just a simple white line running across my skin.

Ike placed on finger on it gently, "How'd you get that?"

"Evil henchman ring a bell? Big knifes? One caught me on the arm."

Ike's mouth opened and closed. "Oh."

"Don't worry Parker shot him in the head."

Ike nodded, "I think at that point Zuri and I were creeping through the walls while Ben and Will were crushing walls."

I laughed, "It's no big deal now, Marcie took care of me right away. And it healed and it could of been worst he could of caught me in the head or chest."

Ike grabbed my hand and started twirling me again, "Yea." I bit my lip and we twirled again. "Are you going to miss Marcie and Parker?"

I almost tripped, "What?"

Ike shrugged, "Are you going to miss them? You know since they are grown and moved out."

I shrugged back, "I guess. I mean Marcie more than Parker. Marcie got me and I could talk to her about everything. But I love Hale, he's been around since I was a baby I treated him as a brother. So yea? What about you?"

Ike looked at me, "What about me?"

"You miss Zuri? Ben, Will?"

Ike laughed, "I don't know kind of. I mean Zuri was all the time worried about me. Oh my God is Ike okay? How's Ike doing in training? The twins just liked to ruff house with me."

I nodded, "Your sister was also around me a lot. I remember having Marcie and Zuri slam the door on me as they ran into her room to talk."

Ike nodded, "I know. Zuri be gone for days and I just when my mom would be about to scream Zuri would come dancing back into the house. I mean dad loved all of us. He loved Ben and Will because when they were babies it didn't matter if you dropped them."

I laughed, "Your brothers did have hard heads."

Ike shook his head, "You know one time I actually knocked their heads together and both of them just laughed."

I shook my head, "I accidently slammed Parker into a wall and he cried like a baby. I wish I had your brothers."

Ike shook his head, "No you don't."

The music was slowly fading and over Ike's shoulder Marcie made a face at me signaling it was my turn next. I sighed, "Marcie wants me."

Ike turned and looked, "Oh."

I nodded the music had completely stopped now, but we were still holding hands, "Thanks."

Ike let go, "Yea. You too."

I stepped away from him and smiled then I turned to walk towards Marcie, but stopped. I turned back, "You know I had a lot of fun dancing with you."

Ike looked up and smiled, "Me too."

I smiled, "Thank you."

Ike nodded and I turned and walked over to Marcie, "Ready to dance sis?" I asked.

Marcie laughed, "Yep!"

And even as we took off in a silly swirl I couldn't help but think of Ike. And over Marcie's shoulder I kept looking for him.

Tonight had been fun.
