Invisible

Jake
Its been a week. A week of running with Vic. The eclipse passed and we're ok and alive. We met a witch who has a power in prophies and fate.

Luckily (note sarcasm) any eclipse or solar abnormality. Even a full moon can trigger it. So no sex then even though we havent yet. Although the prophecy thingy only works with a spell, just a precaution. The witch also gave us some herbs for Vic's evil self.
Its been hard avoiding the cops and civilisation. We have barely made it out of south england. Estimated a months travel to loch ness. One, we keep getting lost. (Not my fault at all)
Two, we need to find a few people to help with Vic's evil side
three, Every so often we need a shower. So we get some money from a supernatural and get a hotel room for the night.
Plus we need to keep our tracks random.

Tonight we were getting a hotel room. Luckily out of London but still in the country. Malissa was the last supernatural to give us money. She said she was loaded and was happy to help. I may have mimicked some emotion controlling ability last week. I havent stolen any since the incident. I think the ghost dude survived.

Anyway we book into our room that is very cheap. Unfortunately no 5 star anything. We need a low profile. As we walk up to the door, Vic still holding my hand like her life depends on it, i can hear a faint hum. I dont realise what it is until im pushed into the room by Vic who makes it seem like we are really horny. Which i kinda am. He closes the door with some wind power its beautiful. And once we're inside it breaks.

"Sorry." She starts. Im about to say its fine but Vic starts talking again. "A drone was flying around and we can't take risks. Ill let you get washed first ill look around our motel room for any bugs." She says tying her hair in a bobble.
God i wished she saw me half the way i saw her. Shes perfect.

I make my way to the small bathroom taking out some spare clothes from our small backpack. We had to downsize a lot.
I close the door and turn the shower on. Theres just something about a shower that gets you thinking. And i cant shake the feeling that im doing the wrong thing. Maybe i should be back at the 'school' with my friends that i left. Deciding whether i should tell Vic my feelings. Not worrying about supernatural crap. Being normal. Maybe even in America with my mom.
Then i think about my childhood and what ut was like with my mom and father together. Well before he cheated with my moms boss. Weird i know. And an asshole move.

Because the shower is running i couldn't hear when Vic knocked on the door. She came in saying sorry and grabbed the backpack. And just left. I quickly finish washing myself and get changed. After drying of cause.

"Hey." I say calmly to vic who is very red.

"Hi, um. Sorry about bursting in on you. I didn't look i swear." She replies.

"Its ok. I mean we share a bed and practically live together."

"That doesn't mean we have to BE together." That hurts bad. I let her think. I mean shes smart enough to realise by now. We've spent weeks together and somehow she doesn't know.
"Listen Jake. I know you may have some sort of feelings towards me but," she pauses. "Ok i cant do this anymore. Without laughing. Just because we like each other, that doesn't mean we have to you know." She moves her hands in a circular motion only confusing me.

"Have sex?" I ask trying to clear the air.

"Yeah. I. I dont think im mentally ready to go that far yet well again with someone. And besides i need that shower. Try to salvage something tradable.." vic says before going into the bathroom. And i hear a click.

I start in the wardrobe, at the bottom theres some dust and a packet of what seems to be cocaine. I mean if a supernatural is addicted? I leave it to one side to discuss later.
After checking the whole room twice vic finally come out of the bathroom. But im shocked with whats in her hands.
Not only is she just wearing a towel but she is holding a condom. "Malissa gave me some saying that we need other sorts of protection."

"Wait i th.." i start but let vic finish once she starts talking over me.

"I was thinking. And i mean. Maybe i am ready. Just understand if this ends badly i know where im going." Vic walks over to me, where i cant get my top off, stupid me got my head stuck. Somehow.

Vic helps me take it off and then my bottoms and vic drops her towel making us equally naked.

"Are you sure you're ready?" I ask worriedly putting the condom on.

"Im sure."
