Chapter 10
Cris
"Yea, You're here!"
I squealed as Pup yanked me over the thresh hold of her house. "There's pizza on the counter and my parents are out, so we have the house to ourselves."
Brea and Shelby were in a vicious battle of guitar hero as i walked or rather was pulled into the family room. Shelby let out a cry of despair as Brea apparently beat her for the fifth time in a row.
Kyle lead me over to a huge armchair as Brea and Pup started another game of guitar hero. I sat on his lap and absently watched the colorful notes move across the screen. Kyle wrapped his cold stone arms around waist, nuzzling my neck and hair, causing pleasurable shivers to run down my back.
I shifted on his lap trying to get him to stop and attempting to pretend to pay attention to the video game.
"Awe, come on…" he whispered gently into my ear.
"What?" I replied innocently, still refusing to look at him.
"You are so torturing me." His arms tightened around my waist pulling me closer to his chiseled chest.
"What, like this?" I flipped my hair into his face.
"Yes, like that." His voice was now a low growl. I could hear the desire in it. Leaning back into his chest, I enjoyed the effect I had on him. His cool lips found the sensitive spot behind my ear and began kissing up and down my neck. I giggled.
"YEAH!" The yell broke my feeling of bliss and I looked up started. Apparently, Pup had defeated Brea, though not by much.
"She did that on purpose," Kyle whispered into my ear. I nodded, knowing exactly why.
"Can you beat her?" I asked.
"Huh?" He mummbled, running his nose across my neck.
"Can you beat Brea at Guitar Hero?" I repeated.
"Oh, yeah," he said confidently.
"Prove it." Kyle gave me a self-assured smile. Lifting me from his lap, he got up and made his way over to Brea.
"Sis, wanna play?" Pup and Shelby oohed at the challenge.
"Oh, you are so on brother." Brea grabbed a controller and threw the other to Kyle. They both positioned themselves in front of the TV. "So what song?"
Kyle grinned. "Dragonforce, Through Fire and Flame, expert."
"You're kidding." Pup cried, "That's the hardest song in the game."
"You're on," grinned Brea.
The song started and I stared in awe at the speed and number of the notes. There was no way my brain could even comprehend which notes were which. Yet neither Brea nor Kyle missed a single one; it was a tie.
"Ohmygawd! You guys just beat Fire and Flame on expert. I didn't even think that was possible. How'd you…" Pup continued to ramble in awe. I giggled at her excitement and climbed off the chair, jumping into Kyle's arms.
"You happy now?" Kyle asked smiling delightedly at the look on my face.
I laughed, "You still didn't beat her." Kyle shrugged. I glanced over his shoulder at Brea. She was staring into the back of his head, her eyes burning in blue fire.
"Brea doesn't look to pleased."
"Well, she has never actually beat me and this tie was the closest she gotten. It frustrates her 'cause she plays more than I do."
"I'm not frustrated," said Brea, her voice hard. Kyle just laughed lightly sitting back down on the chair we claimed earlier with me on his lap.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang breaking through Kyle and Brea's argument.
"You never told me he was coming." Kyle shot at Brea suspiciously.
Brea shrugged, "Pup said I could invite him so I did."
I looked between the two siblings confused. "Who?"
"That doesn't mean he'll be comfortable."
"Kyle, stop worrying so much. I know him better than you. He'll be fine. Stop being so uptight," snapped Brea as she turned to the door.
"Who?" I tried again. Kyle didn't answer. I looked at Shelby and Pup for help, but they were still confused about Kyle and Brea's argument to notice my confusion was about who was at the door not the conversation.
"Will!" Brea squealed.
"Who? Ow." This time I elbowed Kyle, hard, in the stomach undoubtedly bruising myself, but it worked. Kyle looked at me surprised. I rolled my eyes and gestured toward the door. "Who?"
I turned to see Brea pulling a tall pale boy with messy black hair into the room. His eyes shone like emeralds in the dark room. He looked strangely familiar.
"Pup, Shelby, this is Will. He's visiting from New Jersey." Brea said excitedly, introducing him to Pup and Shelby like I already knew him. All Pup and Shelby could do was stand there and ogle. Then it hit me…I did know him. My mind was working slower than I liked…processing every little detail.
"Cris, you've grown." The voice was deep, velvety, alluring. I looked up seeing Will facing me. New Jersey…that voice…green eyes…I shivered as my brain put them together. He was there… that night they were killed. I smiled lightly, trying to cover my emotions.
I felt Kyle's arms tighten around me in a comforting way.
"Yeah, just a little. Long times no see, Will." Will smiled back but was clearly not fooled by my casual. Thankfully, he turned away from me and held out a hand toward Kyle.
"Hey, man what's up?" Kyle grasped the proffered hand.
"Not much… the usual." He answered lazily, though I caught the loaded glance sent in Will's way.
"I'm going to grab some pizza." I kissed Kyle lightly on the cheek and got up, sensing he really wanted to talk with Will.
"Wow, no wonder Brea ignores all the boys at school when she has a boyfriend like that." Shelby muttered as I grabbed a piece of pizza. That shocked me. Usually Pup's the one to say some thing like that.
"I know," answered Pup just as Brea walked up behind her.
"Hey, he's mine." She said playfully leaning on the edge of counter. Pup rolled her eyes. Will had his back to us but it looked like he was laughing at Brea's comment.
"Like he would ever leave you for somebody else... with your beauty." Pup scoffed.
"I'll take that as a complement." Brea said lightly, still staring across the room at Will, who was in a deep conversation with Kyle. I giggled.
"Ha ha," Pup faked a laugh. "You can only laugh because you've also got a hot boyfriend. I've got nothin'." I rolled my eyes. I really hated this boyfriend talk.
"Oh come on, let's not talk about guys right now." I persisted, glancing over at Kyle I swore I saw him smile.
"Then what do you want to talk about?" Pup shot at me. I shrugged.
"I know," Brea yelled. I swore I heard both Will and Kyle groan and was confirmed when Brea shot a look. "Let's go shopping."
"Shopping? But it's like 9:30. No place is going to be open."
Brea looked at Pup with an evil glint in her eye. "But Wal-Mart is."
Some how we all made it to Wal-Mart. Brea managed to pull a much protesting Will and Kyle up from the couch were they were talking, and shoved us out, three to a car. Brea and Shelby, who looked terrified, rode with Will in his dark green Porsche and Kyle took Pup and I in his Mercedes.
Through out the ride Pup's mouth continued to run over; it never seemed to close as she ranted about how Brea and my boyfriends have awesome German sports cars and how all the remotely cute guys here drive old rusted pick-up trucks.
I shot Kyle a look; drive faster now. He just smiled and continued at his unusual pace of going the speed limit.
Brea pulled us all in to the store. Breezing passed the surprised workers she pulled out four carts. She rolled one to each of us and said, "Okay girls split." Pup and Shelby ran off with their carts, giggling.
"What?" I gripped my cart confused.
"I'm paying…Get what ever you want." Brea said gleefully, and then added almost as an after thought, "Except clothes. If you want clothes we'll go to the mall
I opened my mouth angrily. There was no way I was going to let her buy me anything, but she cut me off.
"Nope, no arguing. Just go and have some fun." I looked over at Kyle hopelessly. He just shrugged. "Ugh, fine I'm going." I wheeled my cart around and headed for the music section. If Brea was buying I might as well take advantage of it.
Kyle POV
I watched the girls run off into the almost empty store. Will was in silent laughter next to me.
"She really hasn't changed much has she?" he asked.
I shrugged, "No, not much. Though she enjoys having Cris around. She's getting Cris a whole new wardrobe for her birthday."
"Some people never change." Will smirked. "So besides visiting her why did Brea call me?"
"Didn't she tell you?" I asked surprised.
"Not really. She did say something about Ruby and Troy."
"Oh yeah…Troy's scent's turned up again and a little close for my comfort."
"You mean after you threw him into the wall."
"Yes, I haven't told Cris yet 'cause she would freak… I've put her in enough danger already. I don't think she fully understands what is going on."
"Of course she doesn't. She human and just found out vampires existed a month ago. Give her some time." Will rubbed a hand on my shoulder.
I sighed, "The only problem is I don't know how much time we have. I've watch Cris twenty-four seven and Mark doesn't like it. He's all fore just taking her to Cassius and letting him deal with her, but I can't do that. She not an animal that can be passed on." I growled.
"No, she's not. You've tried to explain everything to her, right." He asked as we unconsciously wondered down different aisles. I nodded. "Even your bond."
"As best I could, not even understand it myself."
"Yes…you two are unique. I don't think there's ever been a pair like you who bonded at first sight. Most are at first kiss and almost never with a human." Will pondered mostly to himself.
"Yeah, I know and I also know the bond'll weaken if not completely disappear if I change her."
You mean 'when'." Will insisted. I sighed, hating the thought of the pain I would bring upon Cris. "The longer you put it off the harder it will be, Kyle." Will put a comforting hand on my shoulder, but I growled and shook it off. Will had brought up the event I knew was unavoidable—the one I loathed to do. The pain it would cause Cris would be excruciating and I would be the one who caused it. That thought ate at my inside tearing my already dead heart into sharp slivers that pierced though my body.
"Come on guys."
I heard my sister's voice, but it sounded like it was coming from under water.
"Kyle" Will's sharp voice dragged me out of the deep. "C'mon they need their rides."
The girls were already outside each with a cart full of loot. Will and I unlocked our cars and watched the girls load the bags into our cars.
"How much money did you spend Brea?" I asked incredulously.
"Oh, don't worry Mark gave me a five thousand dollar limit and we only spent about thirty-five hundred."
I rolled my eyes. Will looked between us and laughed.
"Good job you are learning to restrain yourself." Will ran over and picked Brea up bridal style kissing her gently on the lips. Brea giggled and I heard Pup sigh. I glanced over at Cris to see her looking at me blushing. She saw me look and immediately turned away blushing an even deeper shade of red.
I went over to Will and Brea who were still kissing. "C'mon, you two aren't the only was here. Save all that for later when you are alone. Brea stuck her tongue out at me and Will just laughed again.
"Yeah, he's right Brea." He set Brea down and helped Shelby and Pup put their loot into his trunk. Brea and Cris' were in mine.
The car ride back to Pup's house was quieter. I held Cris' hand, drawing patterns on the back of her hand as I drove. Pup seemed content to stare out the tinted window. Will and I helped unload Pup and Shelby's bags from Will's trunk and took them up to the house. I smiled softly as I put down the last bag and stepped up quietly behind Cris who was watching Pup and Shelby jump up and down excitedly.
I slipped my arms around Cris' waist. She jumped a little at my touch then leaned back into my chest. I felt a soft sigh leave her chest.
"What's that about?" I asked nodding toward the screaming and jumping girls.
"Oh they just found Sweeney Todd. Pup has been wanting that movie for like ever. Apparently she thinks Johnny Depp is hott."
I laughed at her tone of voice. "What and you don't?"
She twisted in my arms. "Well he is like forty years old—little too old for me. and honestly I don't think he's that cute.
"Oh does that mean I'm too old for you? After all I'm pushing a hundred." I watched Cris' lips—her perfect lips curl up into a smile.
"Nah, you'll always be seventeen to me and plus you're cute so age doesn't matter." She reached up and kissed me on the cheek. I laughed and pulled her over an over sized chair as the movie began playing.
Brea and Will were not in the room. They probably did not even make it into the house.
I half watched the movie progress. Mostly I watched the beautiful girl in my arms…her every gasp…her every sigh. With an arm latched around her waist I ran the other one through her golden brown waves and down her arm. I felt her shiver as I drew random patterns with the tip of my finger on her arm.
The room was dark and even though I could see clearly I knew I humans couldn't. So I took advantage of it and nuzzled the back of her neck, intoxicated by the smell of her hair. I laid little kisses on her neck and shoulders enjoying her shiver at my every touch.
My need grew…I needed to feel her warm soft lips…to taste her scent. I shifter Cris in my arms and captured her mouth in mine. I felt a shiver of pleasure go down her back as she pulled closer to me, tangling her fingers in my hair. I felt her tongue escape her lips and press gently against mine. I froze in surprise and my brain kicked back in. I pulled away.
"Cris…" I whisper gently. "You're pushing myself control again."
She answered with a defiant, "I don't care." She leaned up to kiss me again.
"I know you don't, but I do. Cris what about your friends?" I saw her glance over at Shelby and Pup, who were both engrossed in the movie and had not noticed Cris and my disinterest.
"We could just go to your place." She looked up at me suggestively.
"And ditch your friends" I said in mock horror.
"Why not? They won't miss us." We both looked over at the two girls again. Both appear immersed in the film.
"Okay, lets go." I picked Cris up bridal style and carried her out of the house. Will's green Porsche was gone. I was not surprised; he and Brea deserved some time together.
