Once again it becomes quiet and this time there's no water running; I place the towel on the counter and begin to walk to the others but Rogue stops me by pulling me into his chest. I feel my cheeks become hot so I look downward and say in my head, "Don't turn ghost."
He lifts my head so now we're nose to nose. "Are you really sure? I'm goi to be over a lot and I don't want you to be uncomfortable. You seem amazing to hang around and I don't want to ruin what little we have. Plus I know for a fact you'll end up getting hurt because of me.", he asks and tells me.
"Look here sexy, I'm sure. Last night, I never want to not be able to help you. I don't understand why I'm so willing to help you but I do know my mom always taught me to trust my gut instance.", I tell me while holding his face.
He smiles before coming down to connect our lips together. Sparks; that's the only way I could describe the kiss. It wasn't too soft and it wasn't too rough, it was just... sparks. I didn't want to stop but I knew if we continue I wouldn't be with him until he figured out how to get his father to end the 'wedding'. Pulling away, there was only saliva connecting us. Hugging and puffing were all you could here in the kitchen. He gently grabs my hand and we journey to the living room; it doesn't take long for Angie to realize that we're in the room.
"OMG! Are you two dating?!", Ang screams/ fan girls.
"Not yet. I have some things that need to be taken care of before we can date.", Rogue answers.
Glancing around I see my mother isn't here which means she went to work, then I notice Coreen crying. Not even a few minutes after, I got her in my arms.
"What's wrong baby girl?"
"Nothing. Why can't you date my big brother?", she asks.
"Remember last night?", I ask softly.
"Yeah. Big brother was yelling... oh, it has something to do with that?", she says then realizes what I was talking about then asks.
Nodding my head. "You'll be living with me so your brother can just worry about fixing the problem at hand.", I says.
She hugs me tightly before running to her brother. They leave and it's just Rex, Ang, and me. Taking this time, to catch up on anything we missed.
"So anything new?", Rex asks.
"Beside me needing a job?", I say sarcastic.
Angie bursts out laughing then I burst out laughing as well, and from there it was a chain reaction. It takes a good minute or so before we could calm ourselves; it becomes quiet but none of us say anything since we like the silence. Plus this normally happens when we're together. I get up and head to the spare bedroom with them following.
"Are there any open spots at your work?", I ask.
"Not at the Animal Cafe.", Ang says.
" There's an open spot. It's to be a chief; I'll let my boss know that you want the job.", Rex says.
"Mm."
Grabbing as many as I can carry and head to my room; speed walking to my room and start packing. I start packing the bathroom while Rex and Ang do my room. We're almost done packing when my phone goes off which accidentally made me turn ghost. I casually float to my phone until I turn solid again.
"Hello?"
"I'm coming for you, love.", the person says.
"I'm... sorry but who are you?", I asks slightly freaking out.
"You know who I am."
"Look, I don't know you. And since I don't know you I'll be hanging up now.", I say snapping at him.
"I heard your moving out of your mother's place."
"Putain, qui es-tu? Vous mettez la main sur ma mère et je vais vous mettre fin!(Who the fuck are you? You lay a hand on my mother and I will end you!)"
"I'VE TOLD YOU NEVER TO SPEAK FRENCH TO ME!"
I dropped my phone, now realizing who I was talking to. I know there's people around me but I just couldn't hear them; feeling someone hugging, helps me come back to the real world. Keeping a strong hold or trying to keep a strong hold has my body fades in and out. Looking up is see Ang and Rex, giving them a small smile but it soon drops when I hear Rogue talk.
"Stay the fuck away from her! You already hurt her once and I won't let you do it a second time!"
Whatever my father said pissed him off even more. It's not the I'm a little pissed, no this is fucked with my family kind of pissed. I was about to miss the evil glimpse in his eyes and a sickly sweet smile on his face. Well, my father's dead.
"Avvicinati a lei e berrò fino all'ultima goccia finché non sarai solo un mucchio di ossa. Avrei dovuto sapere che non l'avresti lasciata sola, ma immagino che in quel momento fosse tutto quello che potevo sperare e ora sei tornato. Questa volta non ti lascerò avere Tala!"
Rex's eyes go wide and holds us in fear. We both glance at each other then look at Rogue then back at Rex. He looks at us and whispers, "He said come close to her and I'll drink every last drop until you're just a bunch of bones. I should have known you weren't going to leave her alone, but I guess at that moment that was all I could hope for and now you're back. This time I won't let you have Tala!"
"He really said that?", both of us asks.
"Yeah. Do you know him before?", Ang asks.
"Not that I can remember. The only person who even knows what happen that night is you guys and my mo... HOLY SHIT! Rogue is the boy from the park that night.", I say.
They both stare at me in complete loss; picking myself up, I turn toward Rogue. Burying my face into his hard chest; a blush soon follows. He lifts my chin up and then leans toward my ear and says, "I won't let him harm you. I'm sorry I was too weak back then but I'm not anymore. Plus your il mio(mine). And don't forget that." Then he kisses me hard.
Kissing just as hard. Honestly, even though I only met him a day ago; we've already kissed three times. I know that we will have each other's back no matter what; we stop since we know we're not alone. Once again saliva was the only thing connecting us together. He wipes out mouths before helping with the packing. We continue to pack until everything but my bed, dresser, and any other heavy furniture. Looking around my now almost empty room before heading downstairs; seeing the guy who I still don't know, moving boxes into his truck with Rogue. Taking a glance around, I spot Ang looking at the wall in the hall with most of the family pictures. Sneaking up on her; suddenly stopping because she's crying. Eyes go wide and my arms automatically wrap around her.
"What's the matter, Ang?", I asks softly.
"Are we going to grow apart?", she asks.
"No, Angie. I know we have a lot of memories here but this isn't the end of them. You have to remember, my mom still lives here. So you know what that means.", I tell her.
"Christmas with your mom.", she says with a smile.
"Yup, and that won't ever change. That's our holiday tradition.", I say with a smile.
She stops crying and turns around in my arms to hug me. We stay like that for awhile until Rex comes hugging us. Laughing at our shin shine; we head outside with smiles on our faces. We see that everything is put into the vehicles; Ang heads to the truck and Rex follows me.
