I woke up to Nala screaming in my ear. I groaned and tried to get up but two restricting arms held me back. "Where so you think you're going" Stark whispered in my ear.
"I have to put food in Nala's bowl. That's why she's being so loud." I said while turning around to face him. He was smiling. And something about the way he was holding me was different, more confident.
I leaned in to give him a quick kiss but he held me there, deepening the kiss. With a small moan I gave into him. He rolled over so he was hovering above me but never breaking our kiss. He gently laid himself on me, still holding some of his weight, and wrapped his arm around my back to pull me closer.
I threw my arms around his neck and pulled his face closer. I felt like I wanted- no needed- more of him. He complied while slipping one hand up my shirt.
"Can I seriously not get a break?"
Our heads snapped up and looked towards the door. There, standing there was Erik, with a disgusted but hurt look on his face.
It seemed like an eternity, but it was only a few second, before I realized what kind of position I was in. Stark seemed to understand the same time I did and was out of the bed in an instant.
"Uh, Erik, what are you doing here?" I asked. My voice was still shaky from what I had just been doing. I felt my cheeks getting hot from the memory and my whole body yearned to have Stark in my arms again. Stark turned to look at me with a huge grin on his face. I knew he was happy, and kind of being cocky since Erik was standing in our door way.
"I came by to see you. Yeah. I sure saw you alright." He laughed.
Stark was in his face in a second. "Leave. Now." His voice was like ice. He never liked Erik, especially when he talked to me like that.
Erik just stared at him. I guess he was hoping that Stark was going to back down.
Stark just stepped closer to him and said, "Leave. I won't tell you again."
"Erik," I said, "If you want to talk then fine." I got out of bed and walked to the door. I stopped behind Stark and put my arms around him. I felt him relax slightly and heard the soft moan come from his throat.
I softly pressed my lips to his shoulder. "Stark, let me talk to him. It won't take long. Why don't you go get us some breakfast and when you get back I will be waiting in bed for you. Ok?" I smiled up at him hoping that that would lift his mood.
"Alright my queen." He said. He smiled then bent down to kiss me. Once more I felt the urge to throw my arms around his neck and wrap my body around him. He broke the kiss and chuckled once before pushing his way passed Erik.
I watched him leave, not ready to face who was standing in front of me just yet.
"Zoey? Zoey are you going to talk or not?" Erik said.
I groaned and looked at him. "What do you want Erik?" I asked again.
"Well, I wanted to talk about us. I know things didn't end so well but I don't think that was because of us. There was just so much going on at the time and it was so overwhelming for the both of us." He said while stepping closer to me.
It took me a second to figure out how to speak. I was shocked. Could he seriously be saying this crap to me? "You got the best of me then you left me all alone!" I shouted back to him.
"But, so many things were going through my mind and no matter what I did you never chose me." He said trying to keep his emotions in control.
"I'm so sick of the mess you made me! You were a constant jerk to me and you tried to control me. So of course I broke up with you."
By this time tears were welling up in my eyes. I fought them with all I had. I refuse to cry in front of him.
He saw the tears and he got mad. "So what? You're not going to cry?" He shouted.
"You're never going to catch me cry. You must be blind if you can't see you'll miss me till you die!" I was trying so hard to keep the tears in.
"You will always need me Z." he said stepping closer again.
"I've let go. I'm finally over you and the drama that you have put me through." I said.
"So this is it? You want Stark and not me?" He said. By now he was right in my face leaning in like he was going to kiss me.
I stepped away from him and pulled strength from all of the elements. "I don't want you. I have Stark and he's all that I need. What did you expect? That I would come back here and things would go back to normal? Well if you haven't checked lately, things aren't normal. They never will be normal. So leave, I won't ask you twice."
"Fine." He spat and walked away.
I shut the door and walked back to the bed. I sat on the edge of the bed and the tears just spilled out. There was no holding then back at this point.
"Baby?"
I let a sob break out from my chest and instantly felt two strong arms wrap around me. I leaned into Starks chest and hugged him tightly.
"Shh. It's ok. Everything is fine now. Shh I'm here." He said softly while rocking me back and forth.
"I- I'm s-s-sorry S-st-tark. I p-promised m-myself that I w-wouldn't c-c-cry." I barely managed to get out.
"What happened? What did he say?" I could tell he was angry but was more concerned about me. No doubt he will have a talk to Erik later. Ugh! I shuddered at just the thought of him.
I was calming down and I was able to speak clearly. "He, he said he wanted things to go back to normal and have us get together again. And when he saw the tears in my eyes he got mad. But I don't know if he was mad that he was making me cry or that I actually refused to let him see me cry. But either way he tried to kiss me and I repeatedly told him no and that you're the only one that I want. Well that just set him off. But he left."
I took a deep breath and pulled away from Stark. I smiled at him and looked around. When I looked back to him he looked confused. I just laughed and said, "What, no food?"
He smiled a bit and said, "I felt your emotions and wanted to get here as fast as I could. I left the food there." He started to get up, and I assumed that it was to go get the food, so I pulled him back down.
"Look at what I can do." I said sort of in a cocky tone.
He looked at me but then shrugged. He wasn't going to question me, just watch.
I took a deep breath then said, "Wind come to me." I immediately felt the soft breeze of the wind. I smiled then said, "Please carry the food here to us." With that the breeze left but I could still feel it.
"Uh, Z, I don't think…"
Stark was unable to finish his sentence because at that moment our breakfast came through the door and was placed on our laps.
I smiled and said to the wind, "Thank you, you may leave." The winds wrapped around my body making my hair fly everywhere then disappeared. I turned to Stark, who was still staring at the food on his lap and said, "I have been practicing."
He smiled at me and shook his head. "You are simply amazing."
"What you've got, boy, is hard to find." I said gesturing to myself. He stared at me like I was crazy and I busted up laughing. "I guess everything is back to normal.
