Back to Jessica's Point of View.

The Ocean

It was a battle of control between us, sexual or not, it was always a battle of control and who can keep it longer. So far, he was winning, which was no surprise to me.

I feel the salty waves come in,
I feel them crash against my skin,
And I smile as I respire because I know they'll never win.
There's a haze above my TV,
That changes everything I see,
And maybe if I continue watching
I'll lose the traits that worry me.
Can we fast-forward to go down on me?

My head was rested against a small pillow I brought with me for when I would lie down on the couch. Drake was talking with Caine leaving me all alone in his office watching a DVD on the TV Drake had one of his followers bring in. I put in Psycho but I was hardly paying attention. My mind was still reeling from today's target practice. Who knew Drake had it in him to tease me like that? I have to get back at him but apart from that, my heart had been beating rapidly with him so close.

"Yo," that voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I looked up to see him close the door and head to his desk. "There is a commotion by the fire station, wanna come? You might be able to fit in some more target practice."

I watched him grab his gun from the desk and turn to look at me, waiting for a response. Sitting up, I shook my head, "Nah, I'm going to go out for a little walk. If you need me I'll be by the ocean."

Drake seemed to frown for a second but shrugged, "Your loss."

"Yeah, I bet," I rolled my eyes as I walked behind him out the door. We walked together until we reached the last step of town hall. Drake looked at me, "You sure you don't want to come? Watch me in action."

"As exciting as that sounds, I think I prefer the quiet ocean over you showing off," I laughed, "But I will most definitely walk with you there if you would like."

"Whatever you want to do," he acted as if he didn't care but then smirked; a smirk that I did not like. The next few words he said made me blush unwillingly. "Of course, if you want to walk me, I can always cuddle up with you as we walk."

"Hah, very funny," I made a face at him. "You think I enjoyed that? Don't flatter yourself."

His eyes darkened but his lips were still curled into a smirk, causing me to take a step back. This was another look I did not like at all. I narrowed my eyes on him as he advanced but before I could take another step back, he is already on me. I could feel his breath on my face, a hand on my waist the other holding the gun barrel against my waistline and those gray eyes staring into mine.

Stop there and let me correct it
I wanna live a life from a new perspective
You come along because I love your face,
And I'll admire your expensive taste,
And who cares divine intervention
I wanna be praised from a new perspective.
But leaving now would be a good idea,
So catch me up on getting out of here.

"Don't underestimate me Jessica," his hand moved up as the gun slid underneath my shirt, my breath caught in my throat. "I can play many more tricks right back to you, dangerous tricks."

For a moment, I felt woozy but the urge to get him back overpowered all other senses causing me to take a deep breath to clear my head. I could feel him pull away but I smirked and wrapped an arm around his neck, burying my fingers in his sandy hair.

"Tell me what tricks you know and I'll tell you mine," my leg rubbed against his. I draped an arm over his shoulder; my tongue licked my lips in that seductive manner I learned from my sister. I saw his Adam's apple move making my smirk widen but then pushed him away with a laugh. Turning my back to him, I waved my hand, "See you later, tell your friend that perhaps he can have nice home later on if you're good."

That must have really pissed him off because I heard a string of curses coming from him. I got him back but now I had to prepare myself for when he would get me back later on, possibly at our house. I mean, my house…he was simply staying there for now. Sleeping, eating, bathing and yelling at me in my house.

I walked down San Pablo Avenue past the brightly lit McDonald's, run by the town's very own Albert. I babysat him once before and he was a pretty good kid and very smart for being able to run the fast food restaurant all by himself. Perhaps, I can go in for a little something to eat at the beach and then bring something home for Drake. With a shrug, I went in thinking that I preferred this over cooking something at home.

"Welcome to McDonald's, how can I help you?" that small voice reached my ears making me smile.

"Hello Albert," I waved, "Do you still have any chicken nuggets left?"

"Yeah," he nodded. "So two order of nuggets?"

"Um yeah," I took a step back wondering how he knew that I was going to order some for Drake and myself.

"Let me guess, Orange soda for you and Coca Cola for our favorite bully and three orders of fries," he listed as he made his way to the back to start making the food. I hardly ever came in here for food, I preferred to cook my own food but somehow Albert managed to read my mind.

Can we fast-forward to go down on me?
Stop there and let me correct It,

So catch me up on getting out of here.

I leaned on the counter, "Albert, do you have powers you're not telling anyone?" The boy simply laughed at me but didn't say anything in response. I narrowed my eyes on the working boy, my voice taking on that commanding quality I reserved for my dogs, "Albert, do you have powers?"

"I wish," the boy finally sighed as he walked over to me having placed everything where it should be and now just waited. "It's just obvious that you were getting food for both of you, I just saw you two a minute ago right on the steps of the town hall. It's a very clear view from here."

My eyes widened as a blush crept up my neck, "T-that was just a joke. I enjoy teasing him, gets him to shut up."

"Sure," he drawled walking back to check on the food. I crossed my arms, "You know what, that does not explain how you knew what I was going to order for both of us."

"You came in here a couple times before with him," Albert shrugged filling up two cups with Drake's drink and mine. "I just guessed you'd want the same drink and amount of fries as the last couple times."

"Oh, right," I looked away realizing that I was being weird. Of course, he would remember what everyone ordered, it was Albert, small genius boy. Suddenly, the smell of hot fried food reached my nose making my stomach grumble. "Mmm, smells good, better than when the other original employee's worked here."

"Thanks," the small boy shrugged as he handed over the food in a bag and the two drinks. "Can you carry it all home?"

"Yeah," I smiled, "I don't live too far from here, moreover I'm heading towards the beach for little while, so I'll eat my food there by myself, then head home to give Drake his food."

"It'll be cold by then," he pointed as I walking out the front door. I shrugged, "I know how to warm it up, don't worry. Thanks Albert, see you later."

I headed down the road balancing the bag and Drake's soda in one hand while sipping my own drink in the other. It was weird that Albert would think that Drake and I were together in any sort of way. Then again, for a few hours a day we've been driving off to some place and no one knows why. Drake never really explained it but then again I didn't see why it mattered, wasn't their business.

I shook my head as if to get rid of the thoughts as I neared the beach. I'm going to sit down, enjoy my dinner in silence and just clear my head. Kicking off my shoes, I sat down and put the drinks and bag down. Then, I pulled out my little package of four chicken nuggets and some fries but before I could start munching down in silence, that voice interrupted me.

"Anything for me?" Drake sat down next to me and took my drink out of my hand. I glared at him as I snatched back my drink and handed him his own coca cola. I put the bag between us and started eating without saying anything. Drake did not seem to mind me not talking because he was already busy eating his dinner. Perhaps I would still get my silent dinner even with him there, although clearing my head, not so much.

My thoughts led me immediately to Drake. Drake Merwin, the big bully here in Perdido Beach but no one did anything about it because that meant a beating by one of his followers. This probably should bother me but it didn't, if anything I hardly cared until the abuse came to me. I wonder if this changed people's attitude towards me…probably not, they most likely thought me as Drake's toy since all they see is me at his side doing nothing but tease him. Why couldn't they see me? Can anyone see me?

More to the point, I need to show
How much I can come and go.
Other plans fell through,
And put a heavy load on you.
I know there's no more that need be said
When I'm inching through your bed,
Take a look around instead and watch me go.

My plain brown eyes focused and unfocused on the darkness surrounding the ocean, the dim lights of the distant streetlights giving me very little light to see much around the beach. I reached over without looking for some French fries but felt another hand instead; I immediately withdrew my hand, "Okay surrender the fries Drake."

"Make me," he said almost as if it were a challenge.

"Come on Drake, I'm not in the mood for games," I sighed trying to shove his hands away from the food. Unexpectedly, he got up with the food and hung it over me wearing one of his many grins, "Beg for it."

I raised an eyebrow at him. "What?"

"Beg for the food," he repeated moving back a few steps. "Come on, you want the food so beg for it."

This must have been his way to get back at me for earlier at the bottom of the steps of town hall. I looked at him tiredly, hoping he would just stop at some point "Drake, stop being such a bully and give me a few fries."

"No, I wanna see you beg. Beg like one of your filthy dogs," he pushed me on with that grin still in place, that sadist grin I never enjoyed seeing.

Fine. I could see that he would not stop until I did what he told me to do, always have to be the one in control. Well fine, he wanted me to beg, I will beg. I got up on my knees, put my hands in front of me and cried out desperately, "Please Drake, please may I have some fries?"

"I said beg like a dog not like a desperate prostitute," Drake rolled his eyes at me.

"Woof woof woof," I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Dogs whine more and do that big eyes thing," he pointed out before wolfing down some fries. My stomach grumbled leaving me with no choice, but to do as he said; but why should I? He is not in command of me; I am in control of my own self. That is why no one noticed me before; it is because I let others boss me around. Well guess what Drake Merwin; I am not going to let you do that anymore.

I lunged at him unexpectedly, causing him to tumble to the ground with me since he wasn't ready to dodge it or react to it in time. Unfortunately, some of the food spilled out of the bag from the attack but we were too busy struggling to be the one in control of the other we hardly noticed. I managed to get on top but he easily took me down, his grin up close to my face, "I'm the dominant one here, you're under my control."

Stop there and let me correct it,
I wanna live a life from a new perspective.
You come along because I love your face,
and I'll admire your expensive taste.
And who cares divine intervention,
I wanna be praised from a new perspective,
But leaving now would be a good idea.
So catch me up on getting out of here.

"Don't be too sure about that," I grunted as I knocked him back over on his back. It was like this for a little while until finally, I gave up and let him be on top or so he thought.

"I told you I'm the one in control here-

The cold ocean water cut him off when I gave him a final shove right into the water. I giggled as I got up and before he even had a chance, I tackled him in the water. The water was cold but refreshing against my skin as it soaked through my clothes. My long dark curls soaked in the salt water and immediately stuck to my sandy body.

"I win," I spluttered as I popped my head above the water. However, my victory was short lived when I realized I didn't see Drake anywhere. That was not a good sign. I knew he didn't drown meaning he must be lurking in the cold water depths like a true shark, that thought made me shiver. Slowly, I called out for him, "Drake?"

That is when I felt the hand on my ankle causing me to scream before the salt-water ocean cut me off this time. A hand clamped over my mouth, which I saw no point in because we were under water. I needed air so I kicked Drake away as best as I could just to get at least a small breath of air. Yet I was his captive and I knew he would keep it that way until I submitted to him, but why should I?

Suddenly, a thought entered my head. Could I? I never tried it before but it could possibly work; transmute the water around Drake into something else but what? Ice…no…well, maybe just the water around his hands. I quickly grabbed his hands, which were on my waist pulling me deeper into the depths of the water, and concentrated hard on the water molecules around there, soon I felt the water temperature drop and solidify but something very unfortunate happened.

We emerged from the water and Drake sent a glare at me. I had encased both our hands in solid ice…at least I managed to do it and now I am able to breathe. However, for how long was not yet determined.

It's not fair, just let me perfect it.
Don't wanna live a life that was comprehensive,
'cause seeing clear would be a bad idea.
Now catch me up on getting out of here.
So catch me up I'm getting out of here.

Hope everyone enjoyed that, please tell me your thoughts in a lovely review~

I would like to give a special thanks to Caris L. Clearwater for helping me out on this chapter~ I know I've said this many times already, but thank you so much with your help, it wouldn't be half as good and Drake wouldn't be more Drake-like without your help so thank you~

Also thank you for all of you reading and reviewing this story. ^_^
