I rolled over to see the clock read 5:26. Shit! I have a lesson with Katherine at 5:30. I quickly jumped in the shower, trying to savor the moment. The feeling of the hot steamy water run down my body, clearing my mind and making me aware of last night's events. My hand run to my lips that suddenly began to tingle and the thought of him. I turn the shower head off as i pushed those emotions away. I have a mission to complete and last night's events will get me nowhere but killed. I blow dried my hair until it became damp. I wrapped a towel around me and exited the bathroom. The sudden rush of cool air touched my skin, along with Butch's eyes. "What are you doing in here?"
"This is my room..."
"Can you go out while I change?"
"You weren't saying that last night'
"It's a whole new day. Shit changes. Leave" he held his hands up to surrender and left. I quickly changed in record time and left the room. After changing into a white tank top and some lounging sweats, I headed to the kitchen in search of my keys.
"Leaving so soon?" It was Brick, shirtless. Nice body, if I must say.
"Yeah, I have something important to do. Have you seen my keys?"
"Front door." I gave him a quick smile before head to and out the door.
I ran into the creepy voodoo place, only to see Katherine reading behind the counter. "You're late"
"I'm here now". She slammed the book shut.
"Death will not wait for you"
"True. But you did so let's get started." She led me to the back which I noticed had a dojo feel to it. "What exactly am I going to be doing?"
"Training"
"I doubt I need training"
"Not physically. I'm sure you've mastered that. However you might want to consider more training since you did learn from Ed." She had a point... "Now, today we will work or learning about your other abilities, your powers. You see the future. You have telekinesis, you have super sonic sound, you are a shield, you can practically do anything. You control the elements, you can control minds."
"When will I be able to have control of them all'
"That's the thing. As you know, there's an ultimate every 80 years. Sometimes that don't live long enough for one to pass on things to the others, so we don't which powers you actually have and or how to use them. This is stuff that was supposed to be handled while you were young, and they were. Remember your anger management classes?" i nodded. "Those were used for you to control your powers." It all made sense. Weird things always happened to me as a kid when i got angry. Things flew, windows would break, people would do what I wanted them to do... "Let's start with your mind abilities"
After hours upon hours of working. I have some sense of control over my telekinesis powers, I'm perfect at controlling minds. I'm having some trouble with seeing the future and she wouldn't let me practice on the elements. The rest we would work on later. "Buttercup have you read or even went through the book ?"
"Yes it was...scary"
"How so?"
"Learning so much about my past, but it was my potential future that scared me"
"What did you see?"
"My death, my death with this guy or me marrying the guy" Her eye brows raised.
"So there's a special someone in your life. Mhmm" She wiggled her graying eyebrows.
"No!"
"Your eyes read differently, child." I look away from her.
"No they don't.." She lifts my chin up with her finger.
"Yes they do. You know the eyes are the window to the soul? You can't fight whats right"
"It's not right. He's the enemy"
"Do you know that for sure? He might be like you, led down the wrong path without even knowing it."
"You're looking too close into this"
"No child, you're not looking close enough. Use your heart instead of your head and you will see what I mean" Her eyes were so welcoming and held such wisdom, I didn't care say anything smart-mouthed to her.
"How do you do that?"
"Don't over think it. It's the impulse that comes naturally."
"So just let things be natural?" She nodded.
"Your heart will never fail you. Never. Now I'm sure you're tired of being here, plus it's time for me to close up shop. See you tomorrow, on time?"
"5:30 sharp. Bye Katherine" I smiled at her, while grabbing my helmet off the counter and head the door. The warm breeze of the night consumed me as I felt something off about the atmosphere... I got on my bike and revived the engine. My senses were on high alert as I drove off back to the boys house.
The boys weren't home when I came back, luckily someone was gracious enough to put a new key on my key chain that thankfully matched this door. I went to Butch's room to plan for tonight's events. Just as I was about to take a shower, I get a message from Blossom... "Hello?"
"BC, you busy?"
"No, what's wrong?"
"Nothing,just making sure you remembered Robin's dinner" Crap...
"Of course i remembered, that's why I'm getting in the shower now"
"Don't forget to bring a date!"
"I got it, but what about you and Bubs?"
"Solo dolo!"
"No you aren't. I got you two dates."
"Oh gosh, I have a bad feeling about this..."
"Don't you'll love them. See you tonight" I didn't wait for a response, I hung up the phone. It's 6:49, hopefully the boys will be home by 7:30.. I turned on the shower head and began to plan..
As I got out the shower, there Butch was...AGAIN! "This is ridiculous, I feel like we need a system"
"I'm not complaining about seeing you soaking wet wrapped in a towel, I don't think you should either" I glared dagger at him.." How about the sock on the door?"
"No that's for sex. Something that lets you know I'm in the shower..."
"Hair tie on the door?"
"We'll think of something, but listen what are you and your brother's doing tonight?"
"No one said they had plans why?"
"A friend of mine is having a small party and my sisters and I need dates"
"Would it require us giving gifts?"
"No"
"We're in" I smiled.
"Great, now get out!"
"How about I help you get dress, you help me?" He wiggled his eyebrows. I throw a pillow at him. "Hey, watch it! Let me go tel the bros then I'll be taking a shower. Maybe you can see me i-" I threw another pillow at him before he could finish talking. He dodged it and left the room. I couldn't help but smile as I went into my suitcases, searching for a dress.
Butch's brother agreed, of course. Having nothing better to do with their lives. Butch was currently in the shower while i was trying on dresses. I couldn't find the right one... Right in the middle of zipping one up, I heard the bathroom door open. I turned around, instinctively. Butch was dressed. "Don't look so disappointed butter babe. Next time I'll only be in a towel " He winked at me. I rolled my eyes in response, moving closer to him for help.
"Can you zip me up?"
"Only if I get to unzip it later" He whispered close to my ears, raising the hairs on my back. I said nothing and tried to say in composure. He carefully swept my hair over my shoulder, moving it out of his way. Raising the goosebumps along my neck. He slowly zipped my dress up, the sound of it being the only noise in the room. Even after he finished zipping me up, we stood like that. He was looking at me through the full length mirror in front of us. "Looks good on you" I turned around to face him.
"Thank you. You don't look too bad yourself" Its true, he didn't. Butch wore a green dress shirt with black slacks and black and green Adidas. His hair was tousled in some sort of orderly fashion. It was sexy. He was sexy and he knew it.
"I try, I try. Let me go check up in the bros while you finish your feminine duties." I laugh at his idiotcy and make my way to the bathroom to 'finish my feminine duties'. I wanded my hair quickly, added a bit of color to my eyelids along with a thin line of eyeliner and mascara. "BUTTERBABE, WE'RE WAITING ON YOU!"
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" I put all my materials away and quickly put on my black spiked Jeffery Campbell's and headed downstairs. As I came down the stairs, they guys drew their attention on me. I took my time coming down the stairs, loving my attention. Once I made it down, Butch held his hand out. I took it as I continued my way down.
"You look beautiful" He kissed my hand and made eye contact with me.
"Thanks but let's cut the bullcrap and get going" Brick and Boomer wore similar outfits as Butch yet in their respective colors. They gave me compliments as we got into Brick's Ashton Martin. I sat in the passenger seat while Brick drove.
"Anything we need to go over?"
"Brick you will be with my sister Blossom, but only because you're both carrot tops. Boomer you will be with my sister Bubbles because I feel like your both dense enough to handle each other. Now both girl have had their share of...guys that have hurt them."
"So don't bring up ex's got it"
"Yeah, and don't bring up our past... that means parent's are off-limits" I didn't need my cover and backup story to be busted.
"Got it. Anything else?"
"Oh yeah, if any of you fuck this up, I'll castrate you" They all nodded in union. "Great. Glad you all understand, now let's have fun tonight" The car came to halt. Brick opened my door and I stepped out feeling the warmth of the night. As i stepped out, fixing my dress, I felt something more in the air. Something dangerous and threatening. I won't let this ruin my night, but I also won't be foolish and ignore this. I put my senses in high alert as I made my way in the building. I put away my killer senses and bring out my humanity by slapping a smile on my face.
"Buttercup you made it" Brick was the first to jump out from a heap of friends. She hugged me sweetly, and I gladly returned the gesture.
"Of course. Now I have someone for you to meet"
