I whisper my lover's name as I lay in bed after a sleepless night. I didn't want to risk falling into another intimate dream with / "Mmhmm?" He stirs from his sleep, straightening his / "What did you mean when you said the professor was going to sort things out with Sara?" I question,
trying to keep my mind off my kiss with / "Well,"
He yawns before continuing. "The professor's telepathic abilities extend much further than anything any of us have experienced."br / "I don't understand." I reply, wrinkling my / "He's extremely talented,
Evelyn." Scott places his hand lovingly on my cheek. "He can manipulate thoughts and memories easily."br / "You mean..." It finally hits me what the professor plans to do. "You mean he's going to erase her memory?"br / "Essentially,
yes." He mumbles, obviously wanting to catch a few more minutes of sleep before training. br / "No! That's horrible!"
I / "No, Evelyn. It's gunna save our asses from being publicly exposed as mutants." He moans, refusing to lift his face from the / "She wouldn't do that." I state strongly. br / "You don't know that." He yawns. "We can't risk it."br /
"She's my best friend." I / "She could compromise everything." He replies /
"Ugh! You have no idea!" I jump out of bed heavily and storm over to the wardrobe, causing him to finally pay full / "No idea about what?" He sits up to watch me and I begin to find it increasingly difficult to ignore his perfect, bare torso. br / "This isn't some bad sci-fi film, Scott. You can't just go messing with people's minds! She's my best friend. She means more to me than anyone, with the exception of you, my mum and-" emJohn/em. I stop myself saying his name aloud. "Argh! You just can't let him do that."br / "Why not? Don't you want your friend back?" His words cause my anger to burn / "Yes.
But I'd rather me lose her than she lose a memory. It's not safe."
I / "The professor is very skilled at what he does. She'll be fine." He stands from the bed and approaches me,
whilst I stumble about trying to put some jeans / "How do you know that for sure? Exactly. You don't." I finally manage to get into the tight / "Evelyn, don't be like this again." He sighs. emWhy does he have to be so patronizing?!br / /em"emYou okay?/em"
John's concerned voice is in my / "emFine/em."
The thought is strong and / "I'm going to find her." I state strongly, heading for the door. Scott catches my / "No, you're not!" He raises his / "I'm not a child!" I yank my arm from his / "No, you're too infuriating to be a normal child." He steps closer to me so we are just inches away from each other. I think he's hoping I will back / "And you're far too possessive and controlling to be a normal teenager!" I / "I am not letting you go after her." He states, his voice low and / "You are." I reply, clicking my fingers next to our faces, causing flames to illuminate Scott's / Suddenly the anger is lost from my body and pure passion is left behind. emHe's so goddamn irritating! But so hot!br / /em"I'm not letting you leave this room without me." He / /em"Shut up!" I hiss and kiss him passionately. He immediately embraces me and meets my kiss, equalling my emotion. The flames around my hand burn higher so I quickly focus to retrieve them, before wrapping my arms around Scott's / /em"You're never leaving this house alone."
He pants when I kiss temporarily /
/em"To hell with that!" I whisper, before pushing him back down onto the / /em"No,
Evelyn, you can't just kiss me and expect me to change my mind on all this." He protests as I climb on top of his / /em"You wanna bet?" I run my right index finger slowly down his / /em"Evelyn!
I'm warning you!" emJeez, Summers! Relax!br /
/em"Oh, for God's sake! Just shut up, Scott!" I yell, before kissing him again. His hands go to my waist. At first, I think he will try to push me away, but instead he pulls me down to him more. I place my right hand on the bed next to his face to prop myself up, and it immediately bursts into passion-fuelled flames. I feel the mattress burning below my fingers but couldn't care / /emScott kisses me more, his grip on my waist becoming progressively tighter and tighter, and indication of some unresolved anger. embr /

right?" It surprises me that he even needs to ask. I simply nod in reply. "Then, surely that's all that matters."embr / /em"But what if-"embr /

I emswear/em that I won't let anything bad happen to her, okay?"embr / /em"Okay." I reply weakly, finally giving in. I do trust /
