Chapter 6: Happy, Mad –Yes or No?
The Masquerade Dance is only in two days! Two day to find a dress, shoes and a mask. After David ask me to the dance and I said yes. Later that day me, Violet and David (was force) went shop for dresses shoes and masks. I want to surprise them about my mask. The three of us went to the dress shore. Violet starts to the right while I when to the left. David look back and forth from Violet to me. After a few minutes of search and grab some dress, we when to the fitting room and try it on. The first dress I was on was a black strapless gown. I look at myself in the mirror, the dress did show my curvy very will and it flow/wave down to the ground. I turn to David "What do you think?" smile at him like how I catch his attention. I walk to him stop in-front of him. David grab me, pull me to his lap and kiss me "Beautiful is what you are." He whisper to my ear before he starting kisses my neck. I gasp when I feel teeth on my neck. I feel him smile on my neck. "Hey! You two better not make-out, out there!" Violet warns us with her cute bubbly voice. Violet reminds me of my old best friend, Emma Lily. Both Violet and Emma are bubbly and cute when they get embarrass. On the first day I met Violet I thought violet have blue eyes but now I know it was not blue eye it was grey like Emma and they both have brown hair but Violet have short hair and Emma have long hair –Emma hate short hair. The more I think about Emma the more I miss her. "That dress look very pretty on you." I said to Violet "You should buy it." I was not lying about the dress it was pretty. It a pink strapless gown with black design swirls on stomach, a black ribbon around her back to tied and black glove to match her gown. "Really? Should I?" Violet ask shyly. I look at David for help "Violet you should buy the dress, you look beautiful in it and any guys will be luck to dance with you." David said.
"Really? I look beautiful?" Violet said in small voice, blush at David. I smile at her think how cute can she be. "yeah!" I said.
"Okay….Mai? what dress are you buying?" Violet asks.
"That…" I went to the fitting room change back to my normal clothes "…a good questions …and I don't know –all the dresses are pretty but not said me."
"But you can make it you –right?" Violet said all babbly.
"Any ways, Mare –you are always beautiful to me." David said to me, having his arm around my shoulder while playing my hair (he always tell me how must he love my hair). We walk side-by-side (me, David, and Violet) with happy Violet holding her dress, ready to pay her pink/black dress then I saw it. The perfect dress for the dance! I move David's arm, start walking to the dress. The dress is red, strapless with a perfect heart shape on top with gold glitter and the skirt is not too long or too short red, yellow, white tutu.
"this is PREFECT!" I squeal in joy "And it the last one!"
"well… it the only one we have in this store." The employment woman said. "Perfect!" I said even loud "what the –never mind –I'm buy it!"
After shopping with my friends, we split. David walk me home like always. When we got there I invited David in. we walk up to my room, Bella was jumping up and down like crazy –happy to see us. I drop my dress and other new clothes in one of my many closets. David drop his bag next to my door like always then went to my wall to the right where all my art works are "I can't get over that the fact you draw and paint." David said not look at me. I sited on my bed , study David. When we alone David act different around me and people see it too. He lost the coldly and blank look now-and-days and his eyes are more bright when he look at me. "Like what you see?" Dave said tease. I walk towards him put my arms around his waist "yes" I said to his ear softly.
It does not take long for us to start making-out on my bed in my room with no one in the house –well Bella running around the house –but still! David stop kiss on my lip and starting kisses on my neck –I moan. I ran my hand through his hair –loving every moment being with him. I turn us over so I'm on top of him. He still kisses my neck, I feel him bit softly to hard and I moan even more. His hand went under my shirt rubbing my skin then to my breast him squeeze it. I gasp, kissing David's mouth again. I start to take David shirt off and David help. I start kisses him neck to his chest to his stomach then back up but this time I bit him. Him moan in please. I decide to tease him but kisses his face but not his lip. "Don't tease Me , Mare" David said in low growl with a dangers look on his face. I laugh at him, start kiss him on his lip again. Both of us open our mouth to let our tongues dance around. My shirt way up when David turn us –now David on top of me. He start to put my shirt up when Bella barking down stair "is anyone home? Mai? Matthew!" Lilian said, heard door close and footsteps walking.
"Shit!" I hiss in David chest. David sigh kiss my forehead before he off of me and grab his shirt. I fix my shirt and hair. "well that was fun?" I laugh little.
David just nod to me. He quiet for some reason. Is he mad at me? "What worry, Dave?" I said using his childhood nickname. "Nothing is worry!" he snaps at me. My eyes wide in shock, he never every yell at me. He looks at me apologetic "Mai…I…I sorry." David garb his stuff and out the door not just before he bum in to Lilian. He mumble sorry to Lilian then disappear. Lilian look confusion then she look at me her eyes narrowed at me. "I was hope to ask you two about the shout but…" she stop when she saw tear run down my face.
On Friday morning I did not went to train with David. I was still upset about David shouting at me, but why? I just wake up get ready to going to school –like I want to go. My swirl tattoo on my right arm is gone but my angel wings are still on my back. I went down stair to eat breakfast and the whole time I eat, Matthew was looking at me "what?" I said irritate.
"It just that David always eat breakfast with us or you two making-out at the front door or…or–what happen?" Matthew ask.
I was so tired. I don't have the answer to Matthew question. Yes you do –he yell at you for what! Why? I have a very bad head-ache. "I got to go to school" I mumble.
"what!" Matthew shouts. I can't help but smile at that.
When I get to school, first thing Violet ran to me with sad and worries expression on her face well –that not what her first expression was it was shock like I can read her thoughts her mind will said , Mai here…On time? "Mai!" Violet shout with worry. Why is she so worry I thought when I ran to her. "what wrong?" I said matching her worries tone. "it David –he got in to fight with James…. Blonde hair with green eyes boy? The stupid kid who want to with everyone fight? The new kid!" Violet shout at my face. "Just tell me what happen!" I snap at her and just as quickly I said it I feel very bad snap at her. "I so sorry, Violet!" I add "I have not have enough sleep last night." Violet nod my apologetic. "What happen? Is David okay –is he hurt?"
"David was upset when I first saw him. I want to ask if he okay but before I said anything James just came out nowhere, I tell him to go away but intend he stay" Violet roll her eyes "he start grab my arm and put me…" I interrupt Violet "He touch you!" How dare he! Violet give me a warning look said don't interrupt me "sorry!" I said let Violet continue her story "I said 'No' to him but he continue. David came and save me. We were few feet away from him when James punch David –well David have block James punch. Then James said every bad thing about you…" Again I interrupt Violet "what bad things?" Violet cheek went pink. My eyes when wide "oh…" I said. "…David got very mad and start punch James –thank goods Mr. Miles and the other teachers came and stop David but when they split David punch one of the locker and hurt one of his hand." Violet finish her story and tell me where David "I think they take David to the office…no! The nurse office! –think?"
I start walking away Violet to find David. Thank goods the office and the nurse office are not that far part. I start to pass the office think maybe David at the nurse but I found him in the office seating on one of unconformable chair. One of his hand is cover in white Band-Aid and ices bag. But I also see blood on his hand. The other hand was covering his face. The way he sit show how upset his really is. I walk in the office stop in-front of him and kneel. It take me a few minutes to found the right "David" well that the start "Dave?" he shake little when I used his nickname. He didn't move his hand away from his face or talk to me. "Dave –please talk to me?" I grab his hand –the one that cover his face. When I move his hand away from this his face I found a single tear fall from his face. His eyes are dark like two years ago when I first came back here. They are also out of focus. I gasp "David…"I can't find any word to say to him. I used my other hand to move some his hair away from his face then kiss his holding hand. "I'm so sorry, Mai" David said. I start to shake my head "No!" I said, he frown deeply "I don't care about yesterday –I only care about now. You are hurt –emotional and physical." I said feeling tear running down not care my make-up or the way I look.
"I don't desire your kind and love" David said, he shake his head "not after what happen yesterday. I hurt you too must."
"Did you hear me!" I said angrily "I don't care about yesterday. Seeing you like this –hurt and upset –is hurting me! I only care about you!" another single tear run down his face. I look at his bloody hand "let me heal your hand?" I put both of my hands on top of his wound hand and start healing. I feel my energy go though my hands then the energy went to David wound hand. David about to said something when someone clean their throat. Both of us turn our head to found Mr. Miles stand there "Mr. Gray, Dr. Anderson like to see you." Mr. Miles said moving his glass in place.
David turn his head back to me looking concern. "I wouldn't leave you… I'll be with you?" the question was for Mr. Miles. He nod at my question.
Both of us stand up and start walk to Dr. Anderson's office. Just as we shy of the door –David stop me. I look up at him know I have big question mark on my forehead. David look at Mr. Miles "I get it. I tell them –you two have ten minutes." With that Mr. Miles went to the room close the door behind him.
"We don't have time but hear me out, Mai, I so sorry the way I acted yesterday an–" I interrupt him "No! I told you that does not matter right now. It only thing that matter is what happen now!… we can talk about later?" I said to David looking him in the eye. He squeeze my hand little. Shaking his head "No! we have to talk about now!" David said his eyes brighten with sadness "I was not upset about you Mai –no! –I was upset beca…..Be…because in two days it will be March 12…"
"March 12?" I ask, confusion at what David saying. Then my eyes went wide "Is that day when…"
"….when my family died" David finish for me "That day my life change forever. I lost you and your family across the world. I lost my house. I lost my parents." He look down not look at me.
My fingers went to his chin. I use it to make him look at me. I said in whisper "You not the one who should apologetic… it me." He open his mouth but I stop him "No! Let me finish… I'm sorry. I was so focus on me and my stupid power and the what people think about me –I was no focus about you and how you feel… Maybe I desire it." I take deep breath "I'm sorry" I let go of his chin.
David's eyes was wide in shock. He look down at me while I look up at him. Man I hate being short! Our eyes are lock at each other, never look away. "You're wrong Mai. You do focus at me and what I feel by showing me how most love and care you have for me." David said softly, having his hand brash my cheek down to my lip. "For the last three years, when all my hope was gone with my family and you gone. I was happy –happy being with you. Three years ago when you came back…" he laugh little at his thought "when the teacher said there going be a new kid?" he shake his head "I did not imagined in years it will be you –you, Mare." He take a deep breath "Mai will you –still go to the Masquerade Dance with me?" he look at me nervously.
But intend kiss him like last he ask I said "yes" then kiss him with everything love I have for him.
