Ok, ok...I lied again. This chapter is short BUT it has OCxIggy! Yay!
Chapter Nine: Flashback
After a dinner of at least four grilled cheese sandwiches, I was tired. I bet everyone else was too, because they all went to their rooms afterward. Fang walked into Max's room, they now shared a room and I got Fang's, at least I got a bed and didn't have to sleep on the couch. As I turned on my iPod to help me fall asleep, there was a slight knocking at my door. I looked up to see Iggy standing in my doorway.
"Hey, can I come in?" he asked. I nodded and turned off my iPod.
"What's up?" I asked him.
"Nothing much," Iggy mumbled. "You know when you first learned to fly? How Fang pushed you off the ledge?"
"Yeah. Max told me you freaked out. I figured it was because of the prophecy," I said getting up and placing my iPod on the top of my dresser.
"That wasn't it," Iggy mumbled. Then I figured it out.
Flashback
"So? It's not like they are going to fall off or something. Who knows, maybe you will be able to fly tomorrow and then Iggy won't have to carry you," she said, giggling after she finished.
"What's so funny?" I asked.
"It's nothing." I glared at her. "Ok, I'll tell you. Iggy likes you," she whispered in my ear. That was a surprise. No boys that I knew of had liked me at my old school. I looked at her with a questioning look. "It's true," Angel said nodding.
End Flashback
I sat down next to Iggy, not saying anything. "Let me tell you something. When I first read your story, I felt so sorry for you," I started.
"Why would you feel sorry for me?" Iggy asked, and then he figured it out. "Oh, yeah, that."
"Anyway, when I finished the books, I, like most girls my age, fell in love with Fang."
"Understandable. What does this have to do with anything?" Iggy asked.
"Everything," I stated. "After rereading the stories several times, to the point where I knew them like the back of my hand, I fell in love with another."
"Who was the lucky boy getting your love?" Iggy grumbled, not looking at me.
"It was you, silly. After rereading the books, I realized that we are more alike than we think," I said as he turned towards me with a look of surprise on his face. "Think about it. We are both incredibly misunderstood, I've never told anyone this, but I love fire as much as you love bombs…"
"I'm blind, you're not," Iggy said, still not believing me.
"Not true. I was blind about my feelings until Angel told me about yours," I said.
"Angel did what?!" Iggy shouted. He muttered some swears under his breath and then turned to face me. "Well then, I guess the secrets out," he muttered, his sightless eyes staring into mine. He leaned over and his lips met mine. Let me tell you, I have kissed some rather cute guys in Truth or Dare and in Spin the Bottle, but none of them were as good as my kiss with Iggy.
It seemed like a lifetime before Iggy's lips left mine. I was breathless, as well as speechless. "Wow," was all I could manage. Iggy chuckled and we laid on the bed for what seemed like forever. Iggy had rapped his hand around my waist and was holding me close. I waited until his breathing slowed and then kissed his temple before going to sleep.
