Stanton just shrugged his shoulders and changed the subject, "So what's the plan again?"
"The plan is we're going to wait here for 30 minutes while they head over to Maggie's. Then I'm going to teleport us there and boom. The rest is history." I replied annoyed.
"Right, so can I have that sandwich I was making?" Stanton asked hopefully.
"Whatever," I replied angrily.
Stanton could see I was angry, "What's wrong?" He came over to me and wrapped his arms around me. I tried to resist but his grip on me tightened.
"Nothing, I'm just- I don't want to get into the middle of you and Serena. It doesn't feel right." I replied solemnly.
Stanton lightly kissed my neck, "You're already in the middle, don't worry about it." He began kissing me with quick pecks for fun.
"No, don't think you can kiss my worries away. I feel used and icky. Like I'm tainted or something," I said wincing.
Stanton stopped the kisses, although I really didn't want him to and stared at me strangely.
"You should feel tainted you hoe," a deep voice said from my bedroom area. I jumped out of Stanton's arms and turned around.
Blake emerged from the shadows with this evil grin on his face. It was like he was stalking me or something. It was really annoying.
"What now, Blake? I really don't have time for you. Get out of my house. You're unwelcome anyways," I replied huffily.
He smiled at me viciously, "Well I was just going to come back here and grab some things. Instead I found you. What are you doing here anyways? Does the Atrox know you're out of your cage?"
"What things might you be looking for? Nothing here belongs to you," I snapped trying to avoid his last question.
Stanton instead answered for me, "Can't you see we snuck off here for some private time? I thought the Atrox wouldn't mind if I borrowed her for just a little bit." He put his head on my shoulder and lightly kissed my cheek.
Blake just glared at us, "Whatever, and it's none of your business."
"Alright then, Blakey-poo. Run along like a good boy and leave us to our playing," I said suggestively and turned towards Stanton, pulling our bodies closer together. Stanton seemed to be enjoying this greatly and kissed me.
Blake was beginning to get antsy, "Fine, I'll leave. But don't expect to make some great escape. I'll be watching." I could hear him mutter hoe once again under his breath as he shadowed away.
I abruptly pushed Stanton away. He lost his balance and fell onto the couch. He smiled mischievously and hooked his finger in my belt loop. He pulled me down with him and began to kiss me again. I guess he mistook the push onto the couch as foreplay.
I pushed him away again and said, "Although I'd love to make-out with you all day. I have to get ready for my big date with Maggie."
I jumped off the couch and happily headed to my room. I was trying to go for the casual yet elegant look. I didn't know what exactly I wanted to wear though.
I pulled out a regular white tank and pulled a poncho over it. The poncho was also white and you could clearly see the tank through it.
I slipped on a comfy pair of pants and added my high-heeled brown boots. They were uncomfortable but with this new teleportation thing I didn't really need to walk.
I walked out of the bedroom like I was a model just for the heck of it. Stanton had grabbed the sandwich and was munching away. When he saw me he said, "It took you long eno-" He stopped mid-sentence and gawked.
"Yeah well it takes time to look this good." I joked.
"You really do look hot," He said with a slight smile.
"Why thank you." I replied and went to him. He just continued to smile at me and put his sandwich down.
"You have a bit of um… mayo on your chin." I said with a smirk.
His eyes widened and he pulled a napkin out and wiped it away.
I held out my hand to him, "Come on. It's time to get busy. We're already a little late."
He took it and moved his other hand around my waist. I moved my hands around him also and closed my eyes to concentrate. It would be the first time I moved someone with me. I couldn't exactly leave Stanton here to fend for himself with Blake "watching me" and all.
I pictured the last time I had seen Maggie's place. I remember how she stared up at me from her window. Even with my eyes closed I could see the great white flash.
When I opened them again Stanton was still holding me and we were now outside. However, I didn't realize that we'd be landing on the roof across the way from Maggie's.
Without warning we both slipped. I tried desperately to grab a hold of something but the roof was to slick. Apparently it had been raining today, and it still was. I saw Stanton shadow just before he hit the edge of the roof.
I was desperate and panicking. Not knowing what else to do. I imagined the ground, that I was safe on the floor there. I closed my eyes tightly and prayed for the best as I finally slipped off the roof.
I saw the great flash once again and next thing I knew I hit the ground with a thud. It wasn't as hard as I would have hit it though. I breathed out a sigh of relief and stood back up. I was thankful that I had just missed the mud patch.
Stanton quickly appeared in front of me, his face looked horrified, "Melantha! I'm so glad you're ok! I mean I was trying to grab a hold of you when you just disappeared. Next thing I know you're on the ground with this happy go-lucky grin on your face!"
He pulled me into a hug and wouldn't let go, "Alright, Dad! I'm fine, my bad. I forgot the last time I had seen Maggie's apartment was from the roof. Simple mistake, no harm done." I tried to pry myself away but Stanton wouldn't let go.
From the second floor I could hear the girls shouting, "Is everything alright? You just fell from the second story! We'll be right down."
Finally I was able to push Stanton off me and I shouted back, "I'm fine! You guys just stay up there. I'll be up in a flash."
Stanton looked down at me. He knew I meant a flash quiet literally, "No Melantha! We are not trying that again! You almost got us killed last time. Never again!"
"Aw, come on Stanton. One mistake and I'm banned from trying again? You know when you fall off the horse you just need to hop right back on. So, you coming with me or not?" I asked teasingly.
I could see him relent a little, "Alright I'll go if you promise to never use that cheesy horse crap again."
Before he grabbed me I said in a low voice, "Don't hold me like you did last time. We don't want Serena seeing us like that ok?"
He shook his head yes and I grabbed his arm tightly. I pictured where I had seen the girls again. I imagined myself standing right next to them.
The flash appeared again and there we were, up on the second floor with them. They all quickly turned around towards me, "Wow! That was so cool! You were down there just a second ago! Man I wish I had that power!" I could hear them all say in a jumble.
I smiled at them and let go of Stanton. He looked like he was about to puke. He held his stomach gingerly and leaned over the edge.
"Stanton! Eww, you shouldn't have eaten that sandwich!" I said with disgust.
Instead though, he just burped loudly. Everyone looked at him disgustedly and Serena finally said, "Let's go in now. Maggie's been waiting for you."
AN: I know this seems like the last two chapters seemed like filler chapters, but so much keeps happening that I quickly reach my page limit for each chapter and have to start a new one. The page limit is 4 pages per chapters I always have to do that or some chapters would be really short and others super long. Trust me though; I'll get this thing rolling in the next chapter. I suspect only like 2 or 3 more chapters then I'm done, I may put in an epilogue or something like that. Not to sure at the moment. Man my chapter titles have been becoming a bit more well... I don't know what to say, but they hint at bad things that aren't really there, just slightly mentioned. I'm running out of ideas though lol. Well hope you enjoyed!
