Mind Games

Chapter 8

I lay on my bed and think to myself. I think about what life was like before all of this crazy shit happened, and the worse part is that I don't even know why people are after me. No one will give me answers. They all just beat around the bush and brush it off.

I zone back into reality. I can hear them walking around downstairs and getting things out of cabinets. Probably for dinner. I get off the bed, brush my hair, and walk down stairs.

"Wow I can't believe you actually came down," says Aria.

"Yea well if I'm going to be held against my will I better make the best of it." I say

"Well I'm glad you came downstairs and decided to join us. We're having pizza!" Says Squid
"Pizza is on the kitchen counter."

Everyone is sitting in the living room watching TV. Squid and Leo are on the lounge chairs, Aria is laying on the floor, and Jackson is sitting on the couch.
I walk into the kitchen and grab a couple of slices of pizza and a water bottle and head back into the living room.
I sit on the opposite side of the couch, away from Jackson. I eat my pizza and focus on the TV. Really the Big Bang Theory? I guess it's alright.

"Ya know if you don't want to watch TV we can go and do other things. Hmmmm?." 

Great he's in my head again. Just ignore it.
I roll my eyes and for some reason he doesn't push it. Strange.
After 3 more episodes of TBBT I decide to go upstairs and take a shower and go to sleep. It's been a long day and I just want to pretend like this isn't my life anymore.

"Ok well I'm going to take a shower and go to sleep. Thanks for protecting me I guess." I say half awkwardly half serious.

I look for pajamas in Aria's room and all she has are sleeping shorts and tank tops. Ugh whatever I'll deal with it, but tomorrow I'm definitely going to get my clothes.
I walked across the hall and turned the shower on hot to get in. Finally some peace and quiet to think. But if course that's ruined by a knock and opening of the bathroom door.

"Go away. I'm in the shower." I say annoyed. Already knowing who it is.

"Aww now why would I do that?" Says Jackson "I'm already here. Might as well let me join." He chuckles

"No. Now what do you want Jackson?"

"I want you to sleep with me tonight. You don't know how to protect yourself yet and I don't want to wake up and find you missing in the morning." He says seriously

Well he does make a good point. I really don't want to wake up to me being dragged to hell.

"Fine. Now get out so I can finish my shower in peace."

I get out of the shower and comb through my tangled hair and brush my teeth. This house is kind of like a hotel with all the necessities.
It's around midnight by now and I'm extremely tired. I walk down the hall to Jacksons room and he's pulling a t-shirt over his head.  I forgot how nice of a body he had.

"Why thank you. You can explore it tonight if you want." He smirks

I roll my eyes and walk to the bed. His room is larger than mine and so is the bed. I get under the covers and so does he.

"So what do you want to talk about?" He ask me
"I don't know if I want to talk to you about anything. You're kind of a jerk sometimes and I don't like to talk to jerks."

My back is to him and I feel his arm wrap around my side and pull me closer to him.

"I'm sorry. You just bring out the best in me." He whispers in my ear.

I flip around facing him until our faces are inches apart.

"What makes you think I even want to be around you huh? Sometime I just want to..."

He presses his lips to mine and I press back. This kiss is different then the one before, more real. He bites my lip and slips his tongue into my mouth and we fight for dominance. I am now straddling him and slightly grinding against him. He flips me over and gains control.

"You really shouldn't fight me. I'll always win." He says.

I roll my eyes and we continue making out. His hands soon find the hem of my tank top and he slips his hand underneath. He massages my breast and plays with my nipple making me arch my back. He kisses down my neck to my collar bone. I take his shirt off of him and he does the same to me.
He puts my right breast into his mouth and nibbles in it. I moan and he smiles against my skin. His lips find my mouth again and we continue to kiss for a couple of minutes. I soon feel his hands around my shorts waist band.

"Wait, what are you doing." I ask confused. "I don't want to have sex with you tonight."

He looks annoyed, but understanding

"Fine I get it. You technically didn't promise me sex so I'll let it go." He says

I feel a little embarrassed holding my breasts while I look for my tank top. He picks it up off the floor and hands it to me.

"Uh are you going to turn around while I put my shirt on?" I say annoyed

"Seriously you're going to make me turn around when I was just sucking on them?"

I give him a look that says 'well duh' and he rolls and eyes and turns around.

"Ok I'm done. You can get back in the bed."

We both keep to our sides of the bed after that, but it wasn't awkward like I thought it would be. I think I'm starting to develop feelings for him, but I need to make them go away because I have way more important things to worry about.

Like how to not die.
