We stood there in comfortable silence for about five minutes before Andy broke it. Well, I guess only I found it comfy… "So how did you and your band meet?" I kneeled down to pet killers head and I peered up at him though my lashes. "we were raised together so when our parents died we sort of just stuck to one another." I explained quietly.
"I'm sorry." He whispered. I shrugged, not liking that any one shows there sympathy for my families death, but somehow I found myself accepting his pity. "We try to move past it." Impossible.
I sighed, getting up and taking the scenery in. I loved coming out here in the night even if it's just to look at the tall evergreen trees that casts shadows across our back lawn. The cool breeze of night ruffled my bangs as I tilted my head up to gaze upon the bright moon. The huge silver orb blocks out every star surrounding it, you just can't help but notice its presence and cherish the way it brings light to even our darkest days.
Looking up at Andy once again I chuckled darkly narrowing my eyes at him with a sly smile. He casted me a sidelong glance, "Um...Scar?" I grinned, not looking evil at all and pressed my hand to his chest. Leaning in oh so slowly, taking note of the Goosebumps raising the hairs on his arms, I whispered into his ear. "You're it."
I bolted into the forest, killer chasing after me. I heard his laughter before he came running after me. I quickened my pace, knowing that with those gazelle legs he would easily catch up to me. I know a can always use my powers, but I feel as though it would be fun to lose for once. My breath heightened and I could feel my heart racing for more than one reason. The cold wind whipped at my hair as I ran thru the trees. I heard his footsteps close behind and faintly I caught his scent getting stronger in the air around me.
Making a bee line towards a large tree to my right I climbed to the first branch I knew he wouldn't see me on, but can also hold my weight. Staying still I tried to make my breath even before I gave myself up. He was close, real close but I couldn't see him….there, he came into view as quiet as a stampede of elephants. I almost started laughing right then and there but I wanted to scare him. If he would just take a couple more steps….. "Scarlet?" he breathed. Taking the last three remaining I needed, I pounced on him from my hiding spot above.
He let out a surprised yelp as my weight landed on him and we began the process of falling. I made sure we descended upon the ground softly, didn't need any bones broken before the big tour. We tumbled down the small hill into a bed of moon flowers.
I looked up, my face the deep crimson color of the night bloom water lilies in the pond to my left. To say our position was awkward was an understatement. In fact it was completely cliché. Andrew was straddling my waist and was staring deep into my eyes. Which I didn't mind, it gave me an excuse to study his unusual bright blue orbs without being called a creeper for staring…
If I wasn't such an observant person I would have never notice how his face was flushed -both from running and our current events- and how his lips were parted slightly. God those lips….. I let my eyes linger on that perfectly sculpted mouth, finally realizing that they were getting closer. Oh dear lord. My breathing hitched as he continued his course, the world around us faded and turned into this gray haze. What the hell is this?
But I didn't have time to even process what was going on before I heard a loud voice calling our names in the stillness of the night. Demi, what perfect timing she has, I thought grimly as Andy pulled away…. Really!? You were like an inch from my lips….
ere...
