Ghosts

“Would you fight? Or would you let yourself die?”

The thought of spending the night in a strange house didn’t really appeal to her but if it was necessary to have some company rather than sit all alone in her hotel she would do it. “I do. I mean I’m not really used to that because my parents could give a shit about me unless it has to do with the money I make for them. You’d probably never know because they put on a really good act.” Madison answered with a roll of her eyes as she pulled a pack of cigarettes out the pocket of her long fur coat. “Fuck do you have a lighter?” She had to remember to carry those but she was so used to using pyrokinesis to do the job when she was alone.

“Yeah. Always.” She said and lit her own cigarette before tossing it over to her lightly. She took a drag and felt her whole body relax from the smoke filling up her lungs. “My dad hates that I smoke.”

“I’d say c’mere baby.” He patted the bed beside him and held a hand out to her. “I’d say I’m gonna to take really good care of ya and make your first time the best ever.” He didn’t know whether she’d really go through with it or not but either way she was making his cock twitch inside his boxers at just the thought of having her in any way he could; even if it was just to make out again until she was relaxed enough to sleep beside him.

Maggie felt her cheeks flush as she moved to take off the night gown she had been wearing, leaving her lean body only in bra and panties. She suddenly felt very eager to please him and though he had patted beside him, she sat in his lap instead, guiding his hand to her lower back. “I hope so.” She said in a soft sultry tone, feeling how hard he was due to her sitting on his lap and it made her wet.

Annalise, when he expressed how positive he was on them liking her, looked down to try to hide how red she had turned; but slowly looked up to smile gently at him. “I get nervous around new people. Which is why me being so – open to you is kind out astonishing to me.” With a sigh, she closed her book, and shifted so she was laying on her stomach. “What should we go see Friday? There’s a few good ones out – like the new Hunger Games.”

“Yeah new people tend to get super shy me, but I warmed up to you really super quick.” Dylan said with a sheepish grin, “So we are on the same boat. We can see the new hunger games if you want. I just won’t know what’s going on it.”

She shivered as she felt his fingers trail over her back; it felt good no matter how much she didn’t want it to. “My Granny when I was growing up.” It wasn’t important to Maggie who did it because it had been so long ago. She was only showing him to prove to him that she really did belong here and she was just like all the others. She wasn’t trying to gain sympathy and really didn’t want it.

His eyes teared up and began to pour down his cheeks as she admitted who had hurt her that way. He couldn’t understand that. “Why did she do that to you, Maggie? I don’t understand.”

She kept her gaze down at her feet, moving quickly to walk next to him. Rose wiped the sand off her dress as they walked, feeling the need to speak but not wanting to break the silence in case that was what he wanted. Did he this to be a flash in the pan kind of scenario? She didn’t want him to think she was so needy as to want the clarification. Maybe he’d speak by the time they got back to their street.

Michael didn’t speak until they were back at her front door. “Sorry about that whole kiss thing.” Michael replied dryly. His hands pushed into his pockets as he stood there looking casually. “I’ll see you around.at school, okay?” He looked at her in the eye for a moment before backing away, down the stairs of the porch. Constance was probably worried about him.

               “Yeah, they kind of are. They’re WAY cooler                  than dads, too           - even when they yell.”

“If you hesitate like you’re ashamed of it or insecure about it, people will react to it generally in a more negative way. My mom and her wife were together ten years before the law passed where I’m from though so they were basically married to me anyways.” He said with a shrug, “Yeah. I lived with my dad most of my life and even though he was a single dad he was always harsher on me than my mom. He’s stubborn and also thinks I shouldn’t show feelings because it makes me weak apparently.”

Annalise, when she saw that the call was answered, immediately smiled widely; only to have a major blush form on her face when he started talking, causing her to look down and away for a second. “Hey there, handsome.” She responded back, turning the page of her textbook. Her eyes couldn’t break away from the screen and she truthfully didn’t care. “Do you think they’ll like me? The girlfriends and your teammates.”

“That’s a silly question.” Dylan replied with a small smile. Anna wasn’t the only one who was blushing, honestly. “Of course they will like you. I’m 100 percent positive that they will.”
