Chapter 16: Party Time!
It was 7:00. Cobalt would come and pick me up in an hour. To tell the truth I think Mom was getting sick of me jumping all over the place.
"Is this a date my daughter will be attending?" Mom demanded, hands on hips and eyebrow raised, effectivly blocking the door frame. I shook my head. "No were just...aquantices," I say and Mom chuckled. She started to walk off when I called her back.
"Hey Mom?"
"Yes, sweetheart?"
"Can you help me put on this liquid concealer on my back? I cant reach or make it smooth for that matter." Her smirk grew ten fold and she sat on my bed.
"Why do you need concealer?" She questioned even though she knew. I do LIVE with Mom. It would have been pretty damn hard to hide that or the scar on my arm from her. I knew she just hated that I never wore anything pretty or short sleeve because I wanted to hide my scars, but I dont think I was strong enough yet. Which made me angry because I was suppose to be as strong as Mom, the mighty Titania:Queen of the fairies, someday and I cant even look at a scar. So I answered her question with eight simple words.
"Because Im to weak to look at them."
Mom gasped, her scarlet hair falling from their place behind her ear. Her pretty face twisted into a scowl and I knew she was going to either chew me out or go into this overwhelming speech of how beautiful I was and make me cry.
"What did you say...?" I didnt even get to answer her. "Your NOT weak! How many times do I or your uncles have to tell you that?! I understand why you want to hide them. I have scars of my own that Im sometimes afraid to show, but you being able to admit that you cant look at them is strong. Me, I would try to tough it out and stare at them, just to make myself crumble, but you take your time. Your stronger than I could ever imagine, Kuma Chishi Scarlet. Dont forget that. Im proud that you even thought of wearing something so pretty and feminine. You see how I am. I hide in armour everyday. Keep doing things like this Kuma. Have fun. Stop critizing every step you take. Your a teenager! Live a little! Besides Ill always be here to bail and or chew you out. Just live a life of happiness, Kuma. I want you to smile for once."
Mom wrapped her arms around me, her long soft hair creating a curtain around us. I instinctively hugged back, always craving Mom's warmth. I loved her more than anything. I would gladly die to protect my mother because she made my life something worth while. The little things she say everyday may not be confidence boosters but they made me want to work harder. I want to BE something in her eyes. I want to be a girl she recognizes as the best decision ever made in taking the little orphan in—not regret it.
"I love you so much, Ma. I cant say that enough times to let you know."
"I love you too, Kuma. I bet however you feel, I love twice as more." She kissed me on the cheek and we got into a silly argument about who loved each other more. As we finished getting me ready, Mom sniffled and flashed a picture.
"Mom please! No pic—"
"Pictures now. Thats an order." Shivering I smile and take pics. No doubt Uncle Gray would have a heart attack when he saw. He didnt even like the idea of me in a boarding school. He claimed it was because he wanted to make sure I was safe but I know it was just him not liking me around boys. Even though there in a sepreate dormitory.
Just a few minutes passed eight and Cobalt was there. Even though it wasnt a date my mom still asked him questions. When we hopped on the back of his motorcycle mom almost died.
I waved bye to my mother and told her I would call. She even let me stay out till 11:00 but I think Ill come back at 10:00. Just so she wouldnt worry.
We stood outside of a brick mansion.
What kind of people does Cobalt know?!
"Hey Kay! Earth to Kuma!" Snapping out of my reverie I see Cobalt's smiling face. It wasnt cocky like Jadin's, but it wasnt heartfelt and tender either. It was just...Cobalt.
"I dont know Cobalt."
"Second guessing?" I shrugged and he put an arm over my shoulders. "I promise that no one will be paying attention to this..." His finger slid down my arm which looked flawless and I shivered. "Its all in your head. Personally I think you look better with out the makeup. But thats just me." He was right, it was all in my head. So I took a deep breath and waltz inside, my arms hooked on Cobalt's. Its funny, just a week ago he was my enemy and now...maybe I even considered him a friend. My heart raced when people stopped what they were doing to glance at us.
Mouths dropped as we passed and my acute hearing picked up a lot of...compliments?
"Wow who's she?!"
"She's pretty hot!"
"Isnt that Temptress on Cobalt's arm?!" On that yell, everyone cheered and I flushed.
"Well superstar I'd say your quite popular." Looking in front of us my eyes spot...Cousin Loke?
"What are you?...doing here?"
"Appearently Im a DJ." He said with all seriousness. His green eyes flew towards Cobalt and he pretty much acted like Uncle Gray when he met Jadin. But in a nicer way. "And this young man is...?" Cobalt held out his hand with that dazzling smile of his. "The names Cobalt. Cobalt Loxar." Cousin Loke shook his head and blinked. "Your related to that element four girl?!" Cobalt nodded and kept smiling. "She's my mum." The way he said mom was adorable! Wait why am I thinking that?! Nothing about him is adorable! Well maybe his dimple or the way his eyes light up when he's talking about something important to him like his 'mum' or...back it up! This is NOT happening! I like Jadin, even though Im still pissed off at him.
I like Jadin.
Thats it.
No one else.

But Cobalt is pretty hot.
Praying to the SPIRITS that Cobalt cant read minds I feel him drag me to the dance floor. At first I wanted to object but once we started dancing I couldnt stop. Cobalt knew how to dance. He had a nice body and he knew how to use it. We lost our selves in the music and I looked up at his piercing blue eyes. He had me ensnared with the look he was giving me and Im ashamed to say I started gyrating and grinding with him. He knew where to place the hands, where he wanted my hips to circle against him.
So to summer up this event in six words I would say:
I had a good ass night.
A.N: Did any one catch the Guy Code refrence? No? Ok then. You know my usual request, PLEASE REVIEW! It is life or death! Well maybe not that bad but it will determine whether I keep writing this or not.
