"Freeze my flame?" I asked my best friend confused." Exactly."
"I don't understand. "
"You said that it burns right? Ever since this creature got inside you it's always hot?"
" Yeah?"
" It doesn't like it cold, right?"
" Yeah?"
" Then this should work."
I groaned, tired of getting half responses from her. " Can you just cut straight to the chase and explain to me what you want to do?"
" I think it's better i don't." She gave me a knowing look and that was when i remembered what George had told me.
He had said that this demon.... Lilith, could hear everything around me, but it could not tap into my thoughts. So Ming was deviating from telling me more about this to avoid triggering it.
Only being this close to my girls was a danger it self, and if it were to accidentally grab something it should not, there is a high possibility that it might just take complete control of me and sabotage everything just like it did hours ago.
So I did not question her any more and just did exactly as she said. I trust my friends more than anyone else in my life. More so not than even before. If they could be here, knowing everything that I have done, knowing what is inside of me, knowing that i had a raging darkness inside my soul and still be here promising to be by my side always and help me get through it all, I know that i have been blessed with amazing people and i appreciate that dearly.
It would not matter if she blindfolded me and pushed me down a cliff, i would still trust her because I know she has good intentions on my part and would never hurt me in anyway at all.
It did not take long for Jaime to get back with Ming's request. Honestly I did not really think he was going to go through with it. But i guess I was wrong, the guy would literally do anything for his favorite little cousin as he always called her. But now without the occasional swearing
We watched as he carried in two huge ice bags effortlessly, he had a deep frown attached to his face that was literally almost blue, muttering profanities under his breath.
Something along the lines of, 'how the fuck did i get into this?! I have to freeze my bones for shit that I don't even know shit about! Fucking sly!'
He glared at Ming who just smiled innocently at him while fluttering her lashes.
He was about to go into his bedroom when Ming stopped him. "Wait, one more thing!"
He groaned loudly "what now? "
" I need you to help me stop at Joe's, I have a delivery coming soon and i don't want to miss it since I already dropped that address. "
" Yeah, nice try Mingfen, but you aren't kicking me out of my own apartment that easily. "
'Isn't he a smart one... '
" Okay then fine." She shrugged " i guess you wouldn't mind us girls singing, sprinkling glitter and talking about boys all day in your tub."
He cringed " you guys still do that? And here i thought you were all grown up already" he shook his head " fine! The place is all yours."
A smile formed on her lips as we watched him grab his car keys, put on a jacket and walk away.
"That was easy." Faye smirked.
"Come on, help me." Ming said as she tried pulling one of the bags onto the bathroom. Faye grabbed for another and i was about to grab for one to, but when my hands accidentally brushed the freezing pack, i winced and quickly jumped back. It stung.
