You're Joking Right?

Memories

We finish breakfast and I'm a little less on edge knowing it'll be just me and Xandra now. At least I won't have to hide my powers as I learn more about them. We were sitting on the couch watching some reality show when I turned to her. She turned to me as well and waited for me to speak first. "Can I ask something?" I ask nervously, "you just did" she jokes. "Well a few things" I clarify, "go ahead" she says calmly.

"Why do you hate the nickname 'X' so much?" I ask nervously. "It's something she says to make fun of me. Delia was the golden child so of course I had to be the screw up. I rebelled against everything our mom, Fiona, said. I ended up getting into ecstasy one night and I ended up getting addicted. Fiona found me one night taking them and let's just say it didn't end well. She made an example out of me and everyone started calling me X cause... well ya know" she said.

"That's not funny though" I say seriously, "yeah that's the point, she knows that. She just does it to fuck with me" she replies. "What did she mean when she said 'don't wanna set the butler on fire'?" I asked curiously. "Oh that... basically it kinda connects to why I hate the nickname. One night I was high and drunk off my ass and I ran into our butler, Spalding, in the hallway. I was trying to make it to my room quietly so Fiona didn't hear me" she says taking a deep breath.

"Let's just say Spalding was really loyal to our mom because he had a crush on her, amongst other things. So he tried to drag me to her room to basically show her I'd gotten in past curfew. I got so angry I set him on fire, that was probably the only night Cordelia ever saved my ass. She put him out and didn't say a word to mom about it" she said smiling sadly. "Didn't he tell her?" I asked confused, she chuckled in response before answering.

"He uh... well let's just say he was a mute. His tongue got cut off" she says trying not to laugh. "By your mom..." I say surprised, "yeah" she giggles. "And he still had a crush on her? He was down bad" I say chuckling. "Any more questions?" She asks amused. "What did you do to make Cordelia leave?" I ask nervously, I know it's nothing good.

"Yeah... It's gonna seem really shitty but I promise I wouldn't have done it unless I absolutely had to" she says as a preface. I nod for her to continue and she takes a deep shaky breath. "Like I said Cordelia was the goody two shoes and I was the fuck up to our mom. So I was used to her talking shit to and about me, it hurt but it was just something that happened. Cordelia never really believed me because she rarely got to see that side of Fiona. One day we were practicing together in the greenhouse trying to bring plants back to life. We just couldn't get it and Fiona got really mad" she says sighing.

I get the impression that this is a very difficult story for her too. "She told us that we were the dumbest kids in history. That we're the 'daughters of the supreme and we were disgraces to the lineage.' Cordelia cried herself to sleep that night and I think part of her never get over it. Neither did I, I wanted to kill her for making Delia feel like that. I already had a fucked up image of her but I hated that she fucked it up for Delia too" she said finally.

"I'm sorry, I mean I know it's not my fault but that's shitty I can tell" I say sympathetically. She nods and I decide to change the topic a bit to something hopefully less sad. "What's a supreme?" I ask hopefully, I have a feeling this will be good. "The most powerful witch on earth basically, she tends to run the coven and guide younger witches" she says proudly. "So... Cordelia's the supreme?" I asked confused.

"Well actually... we both are, she just decided to take over the coven. Not that I wanted to, she pretty much just wanted to follow in our mother's footsteps. I completely avoided hence her saying I'm not responsible or qualified to teach you. Honestly just knowing I'm one of the most powerful witches is enough for me. It's kind of like a fuck you to my mom since she told me I'd never be anything other than a screw up" she says half-heartedly.

"Well I hope you know that's the farthest from the truth anyone can get" I say smiling. "Thanks, I appreciate it. It's kinda crazy though cause we're the first generation in history to have two supremes. A supreme has never even had twins before so maybe that's why. Delia and I would be so powerful if we could work together but I'm wishing on dead stars if I think that" she says. "You never know what could happen" I say optimistically.

"You remind me of her a little, the good parts anyway" she says smiling at me. "So how long have you been reading my mind?" I asked playfully. "Since I met you" she says nervously, "invasion of privacy much?" I ask playing like I'm mad. "My bad I had to make sure you weren't a creep" she says. "And am I? A creep" I ask jokingly, "kinda, yeah. Do you know how many times I caught you thinking about me" she says like she's offended. But I can clearly see her blushing, she likes me thinking about her.

"Well I guess you're a creep too then" I respond, "how?" She ask confused. "Takes one to know one" I say matter of factly, she just rolls her eyes. "Says the one that liked me grinding on her" she says teasingly. "Says the one who grinded on me without permission. AND wanted me to touch her ass" I reply. "Hey I just wanted to be protected from the sun" she says with her hands up. "Just admit it you wanted me to touch your ass" I say smugly.

"Ok and what if I do? Will you admit you wanted to touch my ass?" She asks cheekily. "Maybe" I say vaguely, "maybe?" She asks moving closer. "Maybe you're just a creep" I say jokingly biting my lip. "Maybe... I just want you to kiss me" she says boldly licking her lips. "And maybe I will..." I say closing the gap between us and pressing my lips softly against hers. She seems rough on the outside but the kiss was so gentle and soft.

I pulled away, taking her bottom lip with me and releasing it to snap back.
We don't say anything for a while, I guess both realizing what we'd just done. "Are you hungry?" She asks randomly and I know my face has confusion written all over it. "I guess so" I shrug, "I just asked cause I don't even think we ate yesterday" she says thinking. "Yeah we actually didn't" I say confirming her thought. "What do you want?" She asks, you I think and she playfully hits my arm.

"What was that for?" I ask innocently, "you know what you did" she responds crossing her arms. "I don't care honestly, anything" I say trying to make her decide. "Chinese?" She suggests I nod my head and she gets up to grand her phone so she can order. Once the food gets there we eat in silence and then head up to go to bed. I open my door and I can feel her hesitating behind me. I turn around and she's just nervously standing there watching me.

"What is it?" I ask expectantly, "do you want sleep with me?" She asks nervously. "Usually I like to be swept off my feet, at least taken to dinner before I sleep with someone. What do take me for?" I ask faking offense. She playfully hits my arm, "you know what I meant" she scolds. "Yeah just let me change into my pajamas" I say and she nods heading off to her room.

A/N:
