in a moment. I’ll allow you some time to calm yourselves.”
“I’m sorry…again. You just know how to push my buttons so well that I hate you for it.” I explained. He smiled kindly. It was almost as if Blake was two separate people in one body at times.
“I guess you know how to push mine as well. I’m sorry for bein’ such a prick.”
“No you’re not.” I said with a chuckle. He licked his lips and smiled wickedly.
“You’re right, I enjoy it thoroughly.” He said with a cocky tone. For a moment there was an awkward silence between the two of us then slowly he moved towards me, his lips near mine until I stopped him, putting my hands on his firm chest. “Blake?”
My words had stopped him but I wasn’t sure that I wanted him to stop. Being so close to him, touching him, it was making my heart flutter – it felt like it was beating a mile a minute, hard enough to burst through my chest. It scared me because I had never felt like this with anyone else. Not Adam, not Reid and that made me feel horrible. He looked at me for a moment. I then I watched his eyes moved towards my hand that was still firmly planted on his chest. He was strong, well built. I was almost afraid that he was going to get onto me for touching him – a mortal touching an immortal seemed like it was forbidden in his world, or at least to him, but he didn’t. If anything he looked bashful, like a child but he still had that hunger growing inside of him. I didn’t understand where this was coming from, from either of us. He tolerated me, hating the fact that I was a mortal and I was known to go back and forth with him.
“Umm…come on, let’s go and see if we can stop our deaths.” He said as he took my hand. His hand was rougher than I thought it would be. He always put off that he never worked a day in his life; at least not in this lifetime.
Blake would continue to surprise me.

By the time we were to the landing strip the plane was already running and ready to go. The six of us piled into the jet, buckled up and once again I braced myself before it took off. On my left sat Reid who didn’t seem to notice, but on my right was Jaryn who remembered. He gently took my hand within his and held it tightly. I opened my eyes and gave him a smile; silently thanking him.
“What’s that about?” Reid asked Ashwin.
“Nora apparently has a fear of flying, I helped her calm down in the way over here.” She explained to him and the next thing I knew I felt my other hand be grabbed, upon turning around I saw my hand within Reid’s. I felt the plane take off but it didn’t matter because I had my mind on something else. I didn’t know if I was on cloud nine because Reid had my hand on because I felt Blake watching me again. After we were in the air we were able to move around, which was a good thing because I needed to use the restroom only to check to see how red I was from embarrassment. I didn’t want Reid to see me in such a way; no girl wants to look stupid in front of a guy that she likes. Problem was I wasn’t sure if I was red because of Reid or his brother? Pushing the thoughts out of my head I splashed cool water on my warm face and ran my fingers through my hair and I thought that I was ready to face everyone again but when I stepped out of the small room I was stopped by Blake.
“Are you alright?” he asked.
“Yeah why?” I asked him, puzzled to why he was asking and why did he care.
“You ran off to the lavatory so fast…I was just checkin’ on you.” He admitted almost bashfully. I couldn’t help but to feel something at that moment, like maybe he finally didn’t think that I was so bad even though I was a mere mortal but I was probably wrong. I looked up and into his eyes, getting lost in them but inside I was telling myself not to. I quickly looked down to my hands, acting as if I was still drying them.
“Yeah, I’m fine. Thank you for checking on me Blake.”
“Anytime.
