Magical Love

(Crap, missed Jay.)

I nodded. "Okay. I will." I said and I watched as he hesitantly walked over to his motorcycle and drove off. I headed to my bedroom, and I tried to clean up as much glass as I could, and I laid down, and went to sleep with no problem..

I looked into her eyes. "You havent.. friend zoned me have you?" I asked her.

(Haha, it's all good!)

I went home, showered, and then went to bed. I dreamt of her.. Those pretty eyes, that warm smile... I really, truly enjoyed her company...

I frowned,"Of coarse not... Why would you think that?"

I woke the next morning, qnd I took a shower, brushing my long hair put and letting it air dry into soft waves. I made it into a side braid and I slipped a band tshirt on and some black jeans, and some slippers. Today, I would work on cleaning up my home.. Marcus was really.on my mind quite a bit since he went home..

I sighed, with a bit of relief. "I.. was.. hust curious." I said softly, and I looked away, something I did when I was a bit nervous

I watched my phone, but she never messaged me. I headed to the beach, I was running the shop today- we rented out ski jets, surf boards, floaties, everything you could need at the beach. It was a nice job and kept me supported for the small place I had.

I nodded and sat back, glancing at the television and sitting back. Suddenly, it turned on, and I frowned,"Was that you?"

I glanced down at my phone, remembering I only have his number and that he dont have mine. I sent him a quick text letting him know that I was alright, and that today was cleaning day for me.

I looked over as the tv came on. I shook my head. "No." I said. "Was it you?" I asked.

I smiled when I saw the text and quickly replied, along the lines of everything I've already said, that I was here for her and if she needed anything to let me know.

"I guess..."I said, focusing and it turned off once more. I looked up at the light and it turned off... "Well... I guess it is me..."

I smiled at his text, and replied with a big thank you. Hes really done a lot for me.. I continued to clean, and didthat pretty much all day. The torn seat cushions I just placed blankets on the couch seats so it was not noticeable, my tv was not fixable, so it stayed there broken. Everything else was okay. Just pictures, tv, and couches were damaged.

I glanced at the light switch, and turned it back on with my mind. "Looks like we have something similiar." I said. "Your phones ringing." I said, and there was a quiet pause, then her phone really began to ring. What?

"It's too soon..."I was talking myself out of asking her on a date, afterall, what would that say about me? She just got out of a horrible relationship.. She wouldn't want to get back into something so quickly.

I rose and eyebrow and reached for my phone, it was just my sister making small talk. I glanced at him,"Did you predict that?"

I texted him later, saying that if he wanted to stop by, that he could, and that I'll order pizza or something. I felt alone here now, and he was the only person that knew about what John had done to me.

I nodded slowly. "I guess I did.." I said, and I looked down, that was weird. I can have visions?

I headed over as soon as I had showered. All that sand and sea water got pretty bad... I wore jeans and a white t-shirt, knocking on her door around five thirty. I was looking forward to seeing her.

I began to become nervous,"I don't like this, Jay..."

I opened the front door, and smiled to see him. "Hey.. come in." I said, and I let him step inside, and I then closed my door. "I cleaned up as much as I can. I hope its not too bad. I just hope you are fine without watching tv." I said, a smal chuckle leaving my throat. "Want a drink?" I asked.

"Hey.." I touched her cheek amd had her look at me. "It will be okay.. alright?" I said softly, calmly.. it was time to be serious now..

"Sure, and the place looks great,"I said with a smile as I followed her in to the kitchen,"And you look good, too."

"How can this be okay?"I asked, shaking my head. I stood up, beginning to pace,"We have powers, this isn't okay... What if people find out? What if the government finds out? What if they experiment on us?"The lights began to flicker as I continued to freak out.

I handed him a Coke, and I smiled. "Thank you Marcus." Isaid, sure I was blushing.

As soon as the lights began to flash, I stood quickly, and I put my hands on her shoulders. "Car, look at me. You need to calm down okay?" I said, and I pulled her into a warm hug. "We will be okay.. just no one can know..l

I grinned at her, shaking my head,"So, do anything besides clean today?"

I paused, wrapping my arms around his and sighing,"I'm sorry... I'm scared.."

"Nope." I said, chuckling.. I always tried to keep a positive attitude, even when I had reasons to be down. "Are you from here?" I asked. I just wanted to get to know him. Hes such an interesting person.

"Shh.. I am too.. but we have to stay low, and attempt to stay calm. Its strange, and scary.. I know.." I said, and I pulled back and looked into her eyes.

"No, I'm from Michigan, I came here two years ago with my Mom,"I said with a smile, watching her for a moment,"And what about you?"

I stared at him and sighed,"I don't want to go home..."

"Far away." I said, taking a drink. "I ran away from home two years ago, I used to live in Phoenix." I said.

"Okay, you can stay here with me alright?" I said, and I kissed her forhead softly, not really thinking..

"And your Dad is here? You said he owns the shop down the road,"I said softly, turning closer to her.

I nodded, leaning into him. He's the only one I could feel safe with right now...

"And your Dad is here? You said he owns the shop down the road,"I said softly, turning closer to her.

I nodded, leaning into him. He's the only one I could feel safe with right now...

"Mom and Dad divorced when I was ten. He moved here, and my Mom and her drunk of a boyfriend live in Arizona." I said, with a sigh.

"Its late.. do you want to go to bed now or?.." I asked. It was about 9. This was draining for both of us.

"Oh, I understand,"I said with a nod, smiling at her,"Well, do you have a job or a hobbie? Heh, anything?"

"No... Yeah... Let's go to bed.."I said with a nod, sighing. If I was sleeping I could escape this super power madness...

"Well. I just scored a job at the police station. I start Monday. Im going into forensics." I said, sort of an odd job.for someone like me. But , it was interesting to me. The show Dexter had inspired me.

I took her hand and headed to my bedroom, I plopped down onto my bed, taking her with me as we both covered up.

"And what will you be doing there?"I asked, raising an eyebrow as I sipped from my Coke. Forensics wasn't something you suually just jumped into. I was truly curious.

I laughed softly, looking at him in the darkness,"We are way to comfortable together, you know that?" I wanted to try and lighten the mood up, at least a little bit..

"Well, I took police classes and stuff in high school at the local college, so I know pretty much know all of the ropes." I said.

"Well, I have known you since third grade, so.." I said, chuckling, glad to see she was smiling.

I grinned, nodding gently,"That's freaking awesome!" I laughed and sat back,"You're pretty amazing, you know that?"

I laid down beside him and rested into his side, my face nuzzling into his neck softly. He had a point, we have been close for the longest time...And now this was happening, to both of us!

I chuckled. "I guess it is when you think about it. It was not wasy, ill tell you that much. They already gave me a case to look over before I even started the job." I said.

I closed my eyes, and drifted off into dreamland. I dreamt of that one time, her and I had snuck off in 5th grade, we had gone to check out the factory in our neighborhood at the time, it had some nuclear waste or something.. her and I were sick for weeks. Thats it!

"Can you talk about it? Or do you have to be all cop-secret like?"I asked with a grin, narrowing my eyes at her. I began to think about... She would make a really hot cop...

I was asleep, a deep dark sleep of exhaustion. I was comfortable and safe in his arms, and I stayed close to him. I had fallen for him a long time ago, but never could admit it..

"Its a pretty brutal story." I said, looking up at him. "Im only allowed to share with someone I really trust, or am close to." I said.

I woke in the morning, and I rubbed my eyes. It all made sense now.. "Hey, Carter.. I know why we are like this.."

"I understand,"I said with a nod, smiling softly before sipping from my Coke once more. I looked around, it made me angry that he trashed the place like this...

I groaned,"Five more minutes,"I sighed and pulled the blankets over my head tiredly, cold and sleepy.

"So that means I can share with you." I said, and pulled the file out from the droor, and I handed it to him. "Here."

"Okay, okay.." I said, and I stood, and I headed downstairs and made some.bacon. this would get her up.

"Really?"I asked, surprised. I was helping her, but I didn't think she thought we were close... It gave me butterflies... It's childish, I know, but she did... She gave me this warm, fuzzy feeling inside.

I smiled when I could smell the bacon and I stood up. Suddenly, I was in the kitchen beside him,"You know bacon is the way to win me over..."

I smiled, and nodded. "After what youve done for me youve definitely earned my trust." I said, and I watched the expression on his face, I chuckled softly.

I jumped. "God dammit.." she scared the living shit out of me. "Careful with that teleportation shit. Youll give me an asthma attack." I said.

I looked at the folder and set it on the table,"Do you want to go somewhere? The beach, dinner, the park? Just to get out of here?"

I frowned,"Sorry,"I said, wrapping my arms around him and hugging him gently,"I'm trying to control it.. But if I want to be somewhere, I just kind of show up..."

I liked that idea, a lot. "Definitely not the beach. I dont know how to swim.." I said softly. "But yeah, somewhere else from here."

"Its fine." I said, and I handed her a plate with bacon on it. "Here." I said.

"Come on,"I said, setting the can on the coffee table and standing. I offered my hand out to her,"Ready for an adventure?"

I smiled and kissed him on the cheek playfully, like I always did, I took the plate, taking it to the table and biting into a piece,"Were you saying something this morning?" I was much calmer today, it was beginning to settle in what was happening.

I looked up at him and smiled. "Yes." I said, taking his hand. "Lets go." I said, and I followed him out the door.

"Remember when .. in 5th Grade when we headed to that building, and got sick for weeks?" I said. "It was nuclear waste.. thats why this happened to us probably.." I said.

We jumped on my bike and I smiled, revving the engine and jumping down the road, laughing when she grabbed on to me. I slowed to the speed limit and we headed down to a small ice cream shop. Once we got our sweets I took her hand and led her outside, walking to a small, local park.

"You think so?"I asked, raising an eyebrow. It was like we were a living comic book or something... But, it was the only likely possibility.

I smiled once he took me hand and lead me to the park. "I havent had ice cream in forever. "Thank you." I said, looking up at him, grinning still. Ive never really explored around this park before. "Its so pretty here.." I said, licking my ice cream.

"The only reason I can think of." I said, looking at the bacon, as a peice lifted and flew over to my mouth, and I opened and took a bite. "Pretty handy."

"You just wait,"I said with a smile, leading her onto a path into the forest. I held her hand to keep her close until we came into the moonlight. We were on one of the cliffs over the ocean, and we could see the pier from here. I sat down and smiled,"Sit with me..."

I laughed warmly and nodded,"So, what are we going to do?"

I looked up at him, and nodded. "Alright." I said, and I finished my ice cream, and when we went to the forest I wondered where we would go. It was getting dark, so I stayed close to him as he lead me down the path. When we walked to where the cliff was I stopped walking, and looked around. "Wow.. its so beautiful.." I said softly, I walked over to where he was and I sat beside him. "How did you find this place?" I asked him.

"Well.. I have to go to the store , want to come with me?" I asked.

"I'm part of search and rescue, you know I'm a life guard, when ships crash or scuba dives drown the tide brings everything over beneath these cliffs..."I explained, pulling out my phone and looking at the time,"Almost midnight..." I grinned, looking at her excitedly,"You'll like this..."

"Not really... I wanna stay here... Stay with me,"I said with a smile, opening my arms to be picked up.
