back down , “ b esides , I thought you were dating someone else? ” I sit my empty glass on the stone table in front of us. I really don ’ t want to get into a debate over our relationship or I should say the lack of.
Lisa and Dawson walk into the alcove. Thank the goddess , I think. As Lisa sits down next to me, she takes her hand and blows on it, like she is blowing kisses and the air swirls around the room and then around the pool, extin gu ishing the flames on all the candles.
We sit in the dark for a second and then David ’ s hand s glow amber red with flames flowing from his palms . H e begins lighting each candle one by one. He saves the last few that are closer to us for me to light. I raise my palm out and watch the golden flames shimmer around my fingers and then shoot from my hand to the remaining candles. David reaches over and takes my hand. With both of our hands together the flames grow brighter red and hotter.
Having fire elements instilled in us we don ’ t suffer any pain from the fire. Over time we learn how to work with our fire. How we can manage the intensiveness and the exact flow of our element. I look over at David and smile; we stay like this for a brief moment watching the fire on our hands intertwine with each other. Slowly I pull my han d from his.
“ I ’d better get home; it ’ s been a very eventful , but exhausting day for me, ” I tell them.
I hug Lisa and Dawson goodbye and turn to leave.
“ Can I walk you to your car? ” David asks.
“ Sure. ” I nod and we walk back through the swarm of witches to the main entrance. Trying not to bump into anyone was impossible. I glance over and see Megan talking to the guy we were introduced to earlier, Adrian . I wave to them my goodbyes. Finally , I see the wooden front double doors.
David walks in front of me and motions his hand and the doors begin to open for us. We walk to my car. I stop beside my driver ’ s door. “ Please , make sure Megan gets home, you drove her here; think you can handle her for a few more hours ? ”
He shrugs . “ I guess I can handle that. ” I laugh as he leans over and kisses my cheek, but he doesn ’ t move away, instead he moves closer, leaning me back against my car. Gingerly , he brushes a strand of my hair away from my neck, slowly he starts kissing me from my cheek all the way down my neck passionately. His desiring hands run down my hips I feel my pulse quicken and I place my hands on his chest, pushing him gently away.
“ I ’ m sorry , ” he whispers to me, I hold my breath for a mo ment, grasping some compos ure .
I whisper back to him, “ I ’ m not your girl any more , you can release me now. ” I turn around to get into my car. David takes a few steps back.
“ I ’ ll see you soon , ” h e says as he slip s his hands in his pockets and watches me drive away.
Since I have a drudging hour of driving to get home, I turn on the radio and listen to a song “ Jar of Hearts ” that has me in tears within the first five seconds . Finally , I can ’ t take it any more; I turn it off and drive in silence the rest of the way.
Chapter 8
The next day , I sleep half the day away. We may be witches and don ’ t have to worry about illness or diseases , but we sure can ’ t stay up for like twenty - four hours straight and not feel a little worn down.
My cell is what wakes me up, it ’ s Megan . “ Hey there Alyssa, David took me straight home last night, and so my car is still at the track. Any chance I can get a ride down there. It ’ s killing me without my ride. ”
“ Sure Meg, give me a bit and I ’ ll be over. ” I shower, grab a piece of fruit , and go pick her up.
We pull into the race way and park by her Porsche. “ He told me about last night, I guess you really are moving on, huh? ” Megan asks staring out of the windshield and then back to me .
“ Yea h , I ’ m ready to
