He stared me down a twinkle of mischief within he looked at me straight in the eyes.lets make a deal it's two weeks til your birthday and coronation if you do everything your advisor says I will personally bring you back here to see your boyfriend and family. If you fail then you owe me a favor of my choosing ."he smiled
"What kind of favor" I asked as I stared him down.he shifted upon the seat not making eye contact."just make the promise so the business portion of the trip is finished . He undid his wet tie and took the tie off .this is the side of Blake I bet no one ever sees ;The relaxed side.
"What do you do for fun?"I asked as he tried to unruffle his wet hair . If he didn't have the perpetual scowl he could be handsome.I tried not to think too much upon the subject
"Fencing ,horseback,riding and anything out doors. "He looked as this was not a waste of his time . His cold demeanor reminded me that he had something better to do . I had seen this look all my life from my peers and teachers. the look of distain like I was unwanted trash that was easily thrown away. I gulped down my animosity and steel my spine for battle. I reminded myself that I didn't make him come here in the first place. Definitely didn't make him turn my world upside down. Tension mounted to a point of almost suffocation I can't take this anymore !
"Giles pull over" I screamed out .He did as I had requested pulling over.the car came to a complete hault on the shoulder of the road.
"Are you ok my lady? "Giles asked as a puzzled look crooks both of their faces.
I threw open the door" I didn't make you come.. I didn't even want you here."I screamed "here I thought maybe if I was civil to you for saving me and all.you would act like ....never mind!! I'm out of here." I fumed as I slammed the door in Blake's face .
"No one uses that tone of voice towards me and slams doors in my face "he roared voice filled with authority. Blake came from the limo . Eyes blazing , nostrils flaring, and fists clinches in rage. At this point we were once again face to face staring each other down. "Well get use to it buddy !"I snapped as his eyes widened in shock. that moment of shock wore off quickly His eyes narrowed as tension mounted
I knew this fight was childish and I was taking all my pent up aggression out on him. Considering once we get off that plane to only god knows where I wouldn't have to see his annoying handsome face. Where did that thought come from.. ahh .. (I cringe) I guess what pissed me off the most is the fact that he is so arrogant . That the world revolves around him. Well he is about to have a reality check Curtesy of me I vowed. His tense whisper growled into in my ear " don't play with fire you will get burned "
"Your always saying that " I cheekily said his face turned a shade of red. Before he pulled away abruptly reigning in his apparent fury.his tense shoulders dropped as he stopped meters away"I didn't want our first encounter to be like this.. tense and combative." At this point the light on the corner turned green and a swarm of people Barreled towards us . Harboring their own personal agendas for this exact moment. Streams of people walked through the space between us . I didn't see their faces or their details of the passing people ..I only seen Blake in the haze. He stared right back for once I felt like maybe he could understand me ... as the same loneliness clouded his stormy grey eyes . I had seen that same look countless of times. The same look I seen in the mirror Each and every morning ..
I turned away it's not suppose to be like this I'm suppose to turn around and go home to my life and pick up the pieces. I heard Giles yell "go after her Blake!" in the distance .I gripped my bus pass within my pocket as I walked towards the nearby bus stop .
"Stop anna" I felt a hand upon my arm stopping me in mid stride.I turned around to see Blake barely panting from running . He ran the distance from the limo to the bus stop. " I know we had a combative start and all "
"You called me a crossdresser" I spat as I poked him in the firm chest. I looked away as my cheeks blushed at my abrupt actions. his features softened " how could I have ever mistaken you for a boy " He bite his lip at the statement trying to hide his laughter.
"What I would have been handsome either way"I countered awkwardly as he ruffled my short hair affectionately . " yeah you would have" he playfully stated as I pushed his hand away from his playful petting. It reminded me of gavin and how he always done this when other girls were around. I clinched my teeth at the thought as blake gently smoothed down my newly ruffled hair .
I don't like you .. I huffed
" yes but you would have been the first one I have ever been attracted to in my existence.I think your perfect just the way you are."His eyes searching mine "I promise to never say that again . Can we start over please"
Now that the confrontation has been extinguished a playfully batter has taken place . "Let me think about that" my voice cracked from emotion . As I fanned my flaming cheeks he laughed at my gesture .
