I went into the house, the lights were still out. Which meant one of two things: Jax is still gone or he was too lazy to turn on the light! I turned around and shut the door. Before I knew it I had arms around me. I closed my eyes trying to sense who it was, then I felt that icy burn, and I knew who it was. I have never felt my heart flutter like this but at that moment I elbowed him in the side.
"Indie! It's me!" Jax yelps out.
I laughed. "I know that Jackson! That's why you aren't dead!" I replied.
I walked over to the switch and turn the light on.
"How did you know it was me?" He asked.
I felt my skin go red. "Your touch. You're the only one who leaves that icy burn to me. Everyone else feels like a vibration of myself." I said with a shrug.
As I talked about him, he touched my cheek. "So how was the date? I saw he tried to kiss you," he questioned.
I rolled my eyes. "Well I learned tonight I can change someone's feelings by touching them. Also, I learned they don't have to look into my eyes to spill the secrets...I may have kissed him a bit. Also, I learned he did murder those girls! Ugh and I also think he has a thing for my ass!" I said almost if I wanted to gag at the thing for my ass.
This left him laughing. "Wait, did you say you changed his feelings by touch?" he asked.
I nodded and said "Jackson I needed him to calm down and relax his friend came to the table! After I asked him about the cabin!"
With that puzzled expression on his face "Well that's new!" he said.
"Ugh and I kissed him to get his attention, that's how he spilled about the girls. I was also able to get him to forget the questions. Now I'm going to go take this dress off! And possibly burn it!" I said as I looked at him.
He laughed as I walked up the stairs. I knew his eyes were still following me.
I learned two things tonight. One Trey is involved in this mess and two I don't want the government to know how my abilities are changing. I grabbed some pajamas as I went to unzip this stupid black dress. Of course of all the times to be stuck in something.
"JACKSON!" I shouted.
"JACKSON!! PLEASE!!" I shouted again.
There he was, "Indiana! Why are you screaming!" He yelled back.
I rolled my eyes, "Because Jackson I decided to live in this dress. Forever!" I said pure sarcasm.
With a laugh, he smiled and said "Let me guess the zipper is stuck and you want me to help?"
"No, Jackson I want you to hand me the scissors so I can ruin this perfectly nice dress! Yes please just get me out!" I begged!
I don't know why but I was thrilled to feel the touch of his fingers. I pulled my hair to the side as his fingers trailed the bare skin of my back to my zipper. Slowly the dress opens. I let the dress fall to the floor. I stood there in nothing but my black lace panties. Before I could turn around and thank him. I knew he wasn't there before I even turned around. Slipping on my pajamas, I walked downstairs.
"So what happened in the cabin?" I asked.
He looked up at me. "It has its own entrance through the woods by car of course. Once in I found out the cabin had been used to abuse those girls before killing them," he said.
I looked at him. "Tonight when Trey told me what he did. I almost did something right then and there just like before." I said.
His jaw clenched as he remembers the story of me in the room with the serial killer.
"Jackson, please don't tell them about how I could change feelings by touch. They will want to test me again! I rather we did not go through that again!" I plead as I grab his arm and beg.
He nodded in agreement. Anyone in this situation would have told. He could have gained a better position and left me to be by myself with another agent who would keep me away or worse they would put me away. This was one of the many things that worried me. Jackson smiled at me as if he knew what I was thinking. Although this conversation has been brought up before.
"Hey Indie! I'm not going anywhere! I will never leave you!" he promised me.
I smiled and this sent a warm buzz through my body like my heart was going to explode. I walk over to him and I realize I'm crying.
He pulls me in for a hug. "See Indiana, if I left you with another agent, you wouldn't get this," he said trying to tease me.
I laughed "Pssh. It took you years to stop being so fearful." I said.
I watched a teardrop fall onto his shirt. This made him smile and like before a warm buzz sent a blast through my body. I started to pull away and he looked at me.
"Jax, I am fine," I said with reassurance.
I went to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water. Then I went to find Jackson. He was relaxed on the sofa reading the newspaper. I noticed the news was on in the background. Always soft but I think it was just his white noise. I walked over to him and climbed close to him. I always found safety in him. I leaned up and kissed him not on the cheek but on the lips. This changed his pulse. I know because I put my hand on his arm. I know I shouldn't have but I did it. I waited for the lecture but there was none.
I got up and went to bed yelling from the stairs "Goodnight Jax!"
He stayed quiet which sent a frown to my face, I guess I wanted Jackson to say something but not to yell at me. I guess anything is better than nothing, which is what he was giving me right now.
